When you're sick of spending €7 to €10 to look at the backs of tourists' heads and have lost the energy to trot through endless rooms of "important" art feeling obligated to "appreciate" it all, you can turn to one of Paris's 14 municipal museums. Some are free, most are cheap, and all are more or less interesting. These museums allow you to spend just about an hour or so snooping through a particular field, whether it be fashion history, an author's house, or the city's collection of modern art. Here's an overview of the most worthwhile municipal museums.

Simply known as mussels with fries, this dish originated in Belgium and can be found at a select number of Belgian-influenced restaurants and French cafes throughout New York. Whether you prefer moules marinated in wine, beer, or tomato sauce, there is no doubt that frites -- and a few rounds of Belgian beer -- are the perfect compliment. Feel free to let us know in the comments below if we're overlooked other mussel meccas.

Belting out crap pop songs in Sydney's karaoke bars is a great way to burn off stress and meet new people. Karaoke, once a novelty in Sydney, has become a popular alternative to the 9 to 5 pub and club scene. No longer just for drunken dares and birthday parties, singing karaoke is popular with workers, travelers, and of course, our Japanese friends. One of the best things about karaoke is that you can get drunk on great Japanese beer (Kirin, Ashai, Sapporo). The worst: Waking up with a hangover and having to watch yourself singing Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon" on a friend's cell phone. There are numerous karaoke boxes scattered around the city, each with a slightly different setup. Typically, you hope to find a couch, microphones, and a karaoke machine packed with songs that are too embarrassing to have on your iPod.

Parisians adore their salons de thé. We've taken it upon ourselves to round-up teh City of Light's best-known bastions of the "French art of tea." These are places that conjure the bygone Belle Époque with their potted palms and sumptuous service -- a tradition set apart from the British version by its abhorrence of milk in tea, and from the more austere Asian incarnations by its partnership with pastry. Here's a rundown of our favorite French-style tearooms.
