Have you ever considered traveling around the world? Most people have been outside their cities, many outside their states but surprisingly a lot of people have never left their country.
I wonder what are the reasons for this:
- Inability to find cheap hotels?
- Trying to look for great deals in airline tickets?
- Or just afraid of ecotourism?
If you said yes to any of these questions, you might want to reconsider the great availability of resources that can help you travel around the world, in good but inexpensive hotels, finding great deals and packages to go to France, Italy, England, Mexico.
You can even travel to South Africa to watch the football world cup in summer 2010! Do not let the recession take the best of you.
Search around online and you can find great deals and fulfill your dream of traveling around the world.
Good luck!
I find extremely funny how some people with good intention in their minds, translate noticeboards, advertisements and food menus with incoherent English sentences. There are even websites specialized in finding these all over the world (called 'Engrish').
In case you are wondering, they are mostly seen in Asia, due to the fact that in Japan using English words is considered cool or fashion, and that many toys made in Asia require instructions in English to sell in the US or UK.
Here are two that I saw today and totally laughed out loud. (See fine print)

A couple in Florida received yesterday their new puppy. But it is not any puppy, first of all it cost $155,000 USD, and second, it is exactly the same as their old, dead pet.
It was cloned by California based company Bio Arts, and the actual cloning was held in South Korea.
The couple, which has many other dogs, said "Lancy" (who died in August 2008) was a really special dog, and they did not care about the money.
Treated as a celebrity, Lancy will eventually prove many questions people have, from behavior to physical look

In a desire to safe guard privacy, New York Representative Pete King wants to implement a bill to force camera phones to emit a noise when snapping a picture, supposedly to alert people if someone is taking a picture at them. Apparently, this has already been implemented in Japan and South Korea. Seriously, don't lawmakers have more important stuff to think about? Anyway, what about video, digital cameras, existing camera phones?

Hi everyone.
This is a very important moment for me, the start of r2 the writer.
I have always like to read, and one of my life goals is to write a book.
Since I do not want to do this at age 80, I better start to write (anything) right now to improve my skills over time.
