Are there any magical places in your country?
Recently I've watched a programm on Russian TV, from where I learnt about anomalous place in Russia, Adygei Republic. Of course, I knew about this Republic, but I hadn't idea that water can flow up.
Firstly, the presenter, using a quad bike, cycles along an earth road on a hill. There were some holes with dirt and water on the road. But he managed and reached the top. Then Timothy (the presenter's name) had to leave his quad bike and walk, because there weren't any opportunities to ride.
After a while he reached the anomalous place. Timothy put a builder's level on the earth and prepared a bottle of water. But before he poured the water, the presenter promised to the viewers to eat a cone if the water flows down.
When Timothy poured some water on the earth, it flowed up! The indication of the builder's level showed that the bottom of the hill was in the opposite direction. And poor Timothy ate the cone!
At the end of the programm he revealed the secret of the "trick". Timothy explaned that the water had flowed up because of the atmosphere at such a great hight. At such a hight a vaccum forms there, which draws in everything including water. He took out a boiled egg, an empty bottle (with a wide neck) and a lighter from his rucksuck. Then the presenter broke the egg on his bald head and shelled it. After that he sticked something into the egg (I didn't understand what was it) and set a fire this thing. Next Timothy brought the fiery egg to the bottle neck and the egg slowly creeped into the bottle.
