Re: What's the best book you've ever read?
I would say "The Sun Also Rises" is a great book for time travel, and a great way to go back to 1920s Paris in all its glory. You get to join the writers, artists, expats, and experience the romance and drinking by reading this book. Fine literature, which has some richly detailed descript...

Re: Favorite movies of all time
I really consider movies from the 70s and 80s to be some of my favorite movies, and even the 60s because I have become more nostalgic about these movies from the past. A movie, I have been watching lately because it's nearing Halloween is a film called "Hour of the Wolf", which takes place...

Scary English Movies
I like to watch scary english movies around this fall time all year, and usually look for the older movies from the 70s, because I grew up in that time. A movie I watched last night, was called "And Soon The Darkness"(1970)and takes place in rural France. Two english women are touring the ...

Re: Getting Around in a Foreign City
You could investigate before you visit so you understand how the public transportation system works at the place you are visiting. Make sure to check out your options because not everywhere will have a bus or subway system- also make sure you know how to pay your fare and when to pay it. By taking p...

Re: What do you prefer, Day or Night?
The fresh morning of the day is good- and if you live out in the country the meadows are alive with wild flowers sometimes, and the sun is shining through the trees. Other mornings the meadows are misty and the morning dew is quite heavy- and you could get quite motivated by these things to get thin...

Re: Problems in living abroad
There are a lot of advantages of becoming a expatriate, that would broaden your cultural and spiritual horizons. But also some cons as well to being a expatriate- some of these would be loneliness, language barriers and making new friends, but you could find some friends if you work at it enough. Al...

Re: Street food in Hongkong
I see that Hong Kong street food is characterised as ready-to-eat snacks and drinks sold by vendors in food stalls but ready to take anywhere in polystyrene boxes, and some of these foods include egg tarts, fish balls, and the egg waffles sound good. You should watch the extra sugar and salt they ad...

Re: Honesty When Writing About a Foreign Country
I would say when it comes to mankind or different cultures, people can be unpredictable. My favorite quotes are from a man named Moliere- a french playwright, actor and poet. A favorite one goes like this- "All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the...
