Food is meant to be enjoyed, whether it's expensive Michelin-star standard or fast-food from McDonald's. Of course, the more expensive the food, the higher the cooking quality, standard, and presentation but sometimes fine dining restaurants take it a little too far. These pictures show what some Michelin star restaurants are doing when it comes to serving their food, and they prove that imagination doesn't have limitations.

As citizens all over the world retreat to their spaces to flatten the Coronavirus curve, we're finding ourselves missing our usual forms of connection. Some of us can't see or touch our loved ones. The interactions we take for granted at the coffee shop or at a bar are now forbidden.

Thailand started the year with a strict plastic bag ban, much to the chagrin of the cult of bag-savers 'round the South Asian country. Shoppers have yet to adopt the cute canvas totes that are popular in the United States and Canada. Instead, Thais are opting to get creative with their shopping vessels, using objects a large as a wheelbarrow and stuff as dainty (and crafty) as a clothespin hanger.
