Question: What is the most popular Bachelorette Party destination in the world?

Las Vegas? Miami? The Velvet Lounge in San Francisco? No, no, and no.

Answer: Cardiff.

By whatever twist of fate, it appears, by my extremely scientific methodology, that Cardiff is the Bachelorette Party -- or Hen Night, as they're called here -- capital of the world. On any given weekend in Cardiff Bay or the City Center, packs (broods?) of "hens" can be seen cheerfully and/or drunkenly wandering the streets with pride. And costumes are big. Nurses, prisoners, devils with sequined horns -- all with the requisite "Katie's Hen Night [or Weekend!] 2007" mini-tees. And the women are of all ages; it seems en vogue to have the bride's mother or aunt attendance -- to rule the roost perhaps? (Ha ha.)

Next up: "What happens in Cardiff stays in Cardiff" commercials.

Actually, I think England as a whole is the bachelorette capital of the world. Anytime I have been out in England at night I have at least one bachelorette party. It's unreal.
