Ok, a confession: I once owned an enormous garbage bag full of Archie comics. Yes, a giant green bag bursting with all the antics of the Riverdale collective, whose squeaky clean adventures framed my earliest impression of life in the suburbs of America. It was all a long way removed from the bustling streets of inner-city Sydney. Yet somehow my pre-pubescent self developed quite a cartoon crush on Betty, the All-American girl next door. So it was with some shock that I read today that after years of facing the most pleasant choice in comic book history, Archie has finally decided which of his two female companions to call his own. Forever. Or for the next few issues at least. That’s right, Archie is proposing to Veronica in an upcoming issue of the magazine, and life in Riverdale may never be the same again.

While I’m definitely not into the whole Lord of the Rings thing, I’m convinced Tolkien stole his inspiration from Göreme, in Turkey’s central Cappadocia region. After a mammoth volcanic eruption around 2,000 years ago, the landscape eroded to form a series of valleys, filled with peculiar, phallic-shaped tufts that the locals call ‘fairy chimneys’. Early Christians hollowed out the tufts and turned them into houses, churches and monasteries. These days, most of them are still in use and a few have been converted into cute hotels and hostels. If you’re not too claustrophobic, I’d highly recommend doing the hobbit thing and spending a night in one.
