Sweden has tree hotels.



The idea of a hotel in a tree might strike you as either really cool or a little sketchy, but the Treehotel in Sweden has perfected it.
Hotels that have rooms in trees can be found in numerous places. One such hotel is located in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. What makes Sweden's Treehotel so exemplary, though, is how much effort is put into it. Where other tree hotels often have smaller bungalow-type huts, the Treehotel has rooms with breakfast, lunch, dinner, spa, TV, and internet available.
One of the rooms at Sweden's Treehotel is covered on the outside with mirrors, making it nearly look like camouflage, and helping preserve the more natural look of the environment around. 

To spend a night there, it would run you up to $680. 
The website boasts the secluded mountain experience it offers, as well as its vast views of nature. You can read all about what the hotel has to offer at its website, found here

Canada's money is plastic and smells like Maple Syrup!

The new $100 and $50 bills that the Bank of Canada started circulating recently are made of more durable plastic, instead of those made of more traditional paper. They're a little bit more expense (they cost ¢19 instead of ¢10 per bill to make) but they have an expected life that is 2 and a half times longer than the traditional bills they replace.

The bills will also aid Canada battle counterfeiting. The polymer that they're made of is more difficult to fake. They have new holographic security measures, including one in the shape of a maple leaf. As an added bonus, they also smell like maple syrup and they're recyclable, meaning they will have a lower environmental impact than the prior bills.

UPDATE: Based on some of your comments below, and some more digging, we've found this video of a newscast that talks about the Maple Syrup smell. Some people in it say they smell the Maple, others say it's just a rumor, and through the power of suggestion, people believe that the bill smells like something it doesn't. I've never seen that much Canadian money all at once in my life, so I'll let you guys watch and decide
