For a lot of Westerners, China is a locked box into which we only get the occasional peek. What they *do* show us, however, is awesome — pet cafes filled with Huskies, real-life Rainbow Roads and Monkey Kings?
Hey, this country sounds pretty great, so long as you don’t do any additional Googling!
On that note, there’s a new item on all of our bucket lists: this long-ass slide in Hulunbuir.
1,200 meter-long grass slides at the Hulunbuir Prairie in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region.

According to Yahoo! News, the available information about the slide indicates that it’s around 1.2 kilometers, or 0.75 miles long. Visitors hop onto small carts at the starting point at the top of the grassland, enjoying a roughly 30-second journey before reaching the end, which we can safely assume is just more grassland.
Still, pretty cool!
If you’re planning a trip to China, you’ve gotta go pretty far off the tourist path to actually get to ride this baby, as Hulunbuir is in the north of the country by Mongolia. But hey, if you’ve got a few dollars to burn and a strong desire to see what the grass and sky look like in China, be my guest.

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new Garfield movie coming out. While the film will be officially released on May 24th, there’s already been premieres all around the world.
How are those premieres going, you ask? Well, when the movie came to Leon, Spain, a whole-ass fight broke out. So, not good, I guess.
En Leon, en el estreno de la película “Garfield”, ha pasado esto.

According to the Mirror, the puncher in question is “Spanish boxer Antonio Barrul, a six-time national amateur champion who turned professional last year.” The Express adds that Barrul was apparently motivated to begin his assault after he overheard a man mistreating his partner. The two exchanged verbal blows before Barrul left his seat and promptly pummeled him.

It’s been a big year for in-theater incidents. Back in October, a fight broke out during a showing of Five Nights at Freddy’s; before that, there was a seating dispute at a showing of Jennifer Lawrence’s film No Hard Feelings that got so intense that a man was shot and killed. And this isn’t even mentioning the theater in India in which people lit off a bunch of fireworks.

At least The Garfield Movie seems to be getting decent reviews, so if it seems like your thing, head down to your local movie theater and enjoy. Also, bring boxing gloves.
