Top 5 Street Food Cities

Quick, cheap and chock full of flavor, street food gives hungry passers-by a lot to love in locales around the world. Trying the local open-air fare is also a key ingredient to sampling any city's culture.

That's why online travel adviser has put together its Top 10 street-food cities. Reuters has not endorsed this list:

The Best Speech in Sports Movie History

They're smelly, waterlogged, messy and littered with way too many used jockstraps for comfort.

Luckily, the magic of film makes us forget all of that malarkey. 

The field, court or ice may be where champions are born and where legends are crowned, but the silver screen reminds us: Those gross locker rooms are places of inspiration and motivation that bring us to the marvelous point of celebration. 

Stars don't just perform out of nowhere.  Before Rudy gets a-Rudyin' and the Hoosiers get a-Hoosierin', it takes great words of wisdom to get us there.

Sports films would be nothing without overcoming adversity.  Honestly, no one in their right mind wants to watch a story of nothing's happening, right?  Watching a real blowout on television is bad enough as it is, after all. 

The World's Biggest Gold Mines

The price of gold has more than doubled in the past five years, creating considerable interest in trading the precious metal. Roughly $75 billion is traded in the London bullion market every day. 

Despite demand, gold is extremely scarce. By some estimates, all of the gold ever mined in the history of the world would fill only two Olympic-size swimming pools.

So how do you go about picking a pup from among all the different breeds out there?

Bull Dog10 DOGS FOR KIDSBULL DOG

The Bull Dog has a sturdy build that is perfect for kids who like to roughhouse. The Bull Dog is comfortable living in large houses, as well as apartments. However, it won't win any awards for "most energetic dog." A docile, friendly, and loyal dog, it gets along well with other pets and dogs, too.

10 DOGS FOR KIDSBeagleBEAGLE

Originally kept as hunting dogs, Beagles fit well in homes with active kids, as they are sturdily built and never too tired to play a game. Friendly, clever and cheerful, the Beagle usually gets along with other pets, too (except for a bit of chasing here and there). They do shed, and require frequent brushing and bathing, however.

While your beagle most likely won't have a bird named Woodstock as his best friend, you can, by all means, name him (or her) Snoopy.
