Yunessun Spa Resort

If you've always wanted to soak in your favorite beverage, a visit to Japan's Hakone Kowakien Yunessun Hot Springs Amusement Park & Spa Resort is in order. Not only can you take a relaxing dip in your run-of-the-mill jacuzzis, but you can bathe in spas filled with sake, green tea, coffee or red wine.

Island Of The Dolls

Mexico's Isla de las Munecas is the perfect combination of creepy and flat-out weird. Dedicated to the lost soul of a young girl (creepy), the island is populated by hundreds of old, decomposing baby dolls hanging from trees (weird) -- the dolls are believed to possess the soul of the dead girl. Go for the frights, and for the story.

Bubblegum Alley

Bubblegum Alley is an attraction you can be a part of. The wall of chewed bubblegum in San Luis Obispo, Calif., has been growing since the 1970s. The sticky, colorful wall is a must-see for gum chewers and those who want to ick out their germaphobe travel companions.

Avanos Hair Museum

There are some bizarre museums out there, and the Avanos Hair Museum is maybe one of the strangest in the world. A dark cavern that sits below a pottery shop, the "museum" features thousands of locks of hair.

Capuchin Catacombs

Located in Palermo, Italy, the Capuchin Catacombs are bone-chillingly creepy. Eight thousand incredibly well-preserved mummies dressed in their finest garb line the walls of these tombs, which tourists can today stroll through. Many of the bodies are posed -- making them even eerier. Avoid in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

Karni Mata Temple

Deshnok, India's Karni Mata Temple -- also known as the Temple of Rats -- lives up to its name. The temple is named for the Goddess Karni, who believed her family members would never die, but rather be reincarnated as rats. The temple's rat population is treated as sacred, giving protection to the temple. If you're not a fan of rodents, don't fear -- they're apparently very friendly.

Paris Sewer Museum

"Paris has another Paris under herself; a Paris of sewers..." said Victor Hugo in his 1862 novel, Les Miserables, and now you, too, can hang out where the vagrants of yore passed their time. The Paris Sewer Museum takes you beneath the city and is dedicated to exploring the significance of the sewer system. History buffs will enjoy the educational experience, and everyone else will be just slightly weirded out.
