Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
Gamprin is a municipality in the northwestern part of Liechtenstein, situated on the gentle slopes of the Rhine valley, close to the Swiss border and across the river from the capital Vaduz. As one of the eleven municipalities in Liechtenstein, it is known for its peaceful, idyllic and typically Alpine countryside, and with a population of about 1,500, it is one of the country's less populated administrative regions. The town's historical landmark, the "Rotes Haus", was built in the 16th century and is now a cultural center. The economy of Gavlei is based on small businesses, agriculture and tourism, and the neighboring vineyards and hiking trails attract tourists, making it an ideal place to experience the slow life of Liechtenstein with a perfect blend of nature and culture.
