Re: Living in the UK
I never have made the move to Dreary Ol' England as they use to call it, the closer you are to London, the more expensive it is - as a general rule they say. The place that seems interesting in London to me, is a place called Camden - and is considered the capital of music in the UK, specially for r...

Re: Can smoking be regarded as a hobby?
A hobby is a activity or pastime done for pleasure, but it's not a necessity or driving need. Enjoying a few cigars every week would be a a hobby, if you routinely light up a couple of cigars everyday than that would be a habit. If you cannot get through the day without smoking several cigars a day ...

These pies are considered a real delicacy as well, and the original and most luxurious mooncakes are made with Lotus seed past...

Re: No Skills
I would think there is some great volunteer work out there with no special skills required- these would include building a house with habitat for humanity or volunteering at a soup kitchen of some kind, these would be some great ways to help out the community!

Re: Writing your own book
I think everybody has their own reason for publishing a book, but I think motivation would be a key factor in writing a book- I am more of visual artist but I do some writing as well, but some of the same tricks for the visual artist work well for writers as well. Some tips for writing is to try to ...

Re: Comic Books
I never got into comics much, but mostly collected baseball cards back in the day. I read Mad magazine a lot, and also Archie comics as well. A lot of comics from the 70s are worth a lot of money these days, for example a Incredible Hulk #181(nov.1974) with a first full appearance of Wolverine went ...
