Actually there is a gentleman’s club in London that is so exclusive that only the very wealthy even can enter. They make the most ridiculous gambling decisions in there like which raindrop would reach the end first for so many pounds. I believe the royal family goes there a lot. It’s an odd place that’s for sure. It’s the place where the legendary around the world in 80 days book is based upon as the start point. Now a true explorer’s club does exist in New York City and they create new explorations of the world from fossils to new forms of travel. It’s a great place to see the world and the people who made it happen. Once a year just for fun they do the explorers club banquet which raises funds but the menu is very strange from the far corners of the globe. It introduces new forms of food to New York City like live octopus or insects. Honestly it’s a formal way to try food that doesn’t look that great. I believe many top CEOs are members like Elon musk who is doing space x with funding from the explorers club. Josh gates is a member of the archaeological branch but can watch mechanical explanations using different energy methods. He saw the first solar powered plane do a test run.
