Schloss Schauenstein isn't just a meal, it's a journey. Located in Furstenau, the 'smallest town' in the world, near the Italian-Swiss border, the castle is a 1.5-hr drive from Zurich. The 5-hr round trip may sound excessive for lunch, but, boy, is it worth it. Chef Andreas Caminada opened Schauenstein's restaurant in 2003, blending creativity with the region's bounty. Unlike traditional French tasting menus, Caminada's offerings are a multi-sensory delight. Local ingredients like red cabbage, pikeperch and langoustine are transformed into exquisite courses that are as imaginative as they are delicious. Each dish is accompanied by a collectable card detailing its preparation and wine pairing, adding storytelling to the experience.

Baba Vanga and Nostradamus are gaining traction for their eerily similar predictions for 2025. Blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga became a cult figure among conspiracy theorists after some of her predictions turned out to be true. Also called the Nostradamus of the Balkans, Baba Vanga is said to have predicted some of the major world events like the 9/11 terror attacks, the death of Princess Diana, the Chernobyl disaster, and Brexit. On the other hand, ancient French astrologer Michel de Nostredame, also known as Nostradamus, has also made many accurate predictions. These legendary prophets, known for their astonishingly accurate forecasts, have made strikingly similar prophecies, including alien contact with humans, an assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin, terrorist attacks in Europe, and a tumultuous reign for King Charles.

And it yielded a second act that was similarly heavier on symbolism than substance: the release of a report by the Russian finance ministry and central bank on “improvement of the international monetary and financial system," by which Russian officials obviously meant “finding an alternative to the weaponized dollar." Expressions of dissatisfaction with the dominance of the dollar over global money and finance go back at least to French finance minister Valéry Giscard d’Estaing in 1965, who famously lamented the greenback’s “exorbitant privilege." Indeed, the desire for an alternative played no small part in the creation of the euro 34 years later.
