Who loves traveling?
I DO love traveling. But, I love more if I have companions. Why? One of the reasons is I hate to use selfie stick. For me, taking selfie is ridiculous! (*demonstrate some selfie-sticks poses). Aaand, traveling alone forces you to use selfie stick.
Since the invention of the selfie stick, the helpful stranger industry has plummeted. Not only that, the new research finds that the frequent use of selfie stick will result in “selfie elbow”, and, will therefore impede the ability to pleasure yourself (*demonstrate the selfie-elbow effects).
Therefore, when I went to Bangkok for Coldplay concert, last April, I took along two friends of mine: Dian and Hani. Did it then make me selfie free?? HELL NO! Because, every 10 steps,

By the time we landed in Bangkok, we went straight to DC Mall, still with our backpacks, to redeem our concert tickets. However, when we got there, and saw there was Bangkok’s sauces sold half prices, we immediately buy it, and, suddenly, we forgot about the concert tickets!! (*IMPROVISE). We are very complacent with Bangkok’s sauces that we realized the atmosphere already chaotic; the queue was extremely long. They were all tired and wanted to have their tickets ASAP! How about us? We forfeit… We decided to look for dinner. And, Bangkok street foods are the …show more content…
“Oooh…may I call you, Sri?”
UBER: “Yeah, sure.”
I heard Dian and Hani were giggled at the back of the car…
UBER: “Did you watching the concert?”
ANNA: “Yes, we were.”
UBER: “Coldplay, eh?”
ANNA: “yEAH…”
UBER: “How was it?”
ANNA: Too tired to speak, “OK...”
DIAN: Still excited. “It was great, actually.”
UBER: “Oh really? How much money did you spend for the tickets?” *with thick accent
ANNA: “Haa?” trying to analyze his word
HANI: With her sleepy voice, speaking bahasa to us “He asked you the price of the tickets.”
ANNA and DIAN: “Oooh”
ANNA: “Around 6000 Baht” – I randomly answered it
UBER: “So expensive!”
UBER: still with his thick accent “I don’t like Coldplay. The songs are lame. I like rock music. Metal. You know metal?” demonstrate his “metal” fingers
ANNA and DIAN: “off course!”
DIAN: “What band do you like? Bon Jovi?”
UBER: “What?? Bon Jovi”
DIAN: “Yes. B-O-N-J-O-V-I. It’s My Life. Always. That’s their song. Do you know them?”
UBER: “No, no, no…I don’t like Bon Jovi.”
Me and Dian were like…staring at each other…trying to make a conversation with our mind, “How come rock fans doesn’t know Bon Jovi? You fake!”
While I saw Hani was sleeping…well, she looks like
“No, you’re Spanish is very good. I can—und, understand you,” she laughingly replied in English, “ I need to get—bet, better at English”
“And the band started playing one of those really slow songs, like “Stairway to Heaven” or “Freebird” that probably have really great lyrics or something but the song itself just is awful-just awful. Then this real phony guy, with the hair all slicked back on the top of his head stood up with the Sax and did a solo. I almost died. I mean, almost completely died right there. It had to be the cheesiest solo I had ever heard. I mean he was swaying back and forth and he closed his eyes like he was really getting into it and all, but it was the fakest thing you ever heard. It was like something out of a bad Howard Johnson’s. I swear, he must record Muzak for a living or drive
“I don’t care about Roger Daltrey!” Riley took a sharp breath – not caring about Roger Daltrey, his favorite singer of all time, felt like a slap in the face. “He’s got a wonky nose and needs to put on a shirt. Jesus Riley, you dragged me out to Monterey two years ago, you don’t need to see him again. You’re coming home right now. And I’m taking away your turntable.”
Jerry Newcombe’s article “Me, My Selfie and I”, which is published on Townhall in February of 2017, is warning people to not take dangerous selfies. Nowadays, And it can not be denied that lots of young people love to take selfies at any time and places as they wish. There is an increasing number of students that would like to post their selfies on the social medias since they do not really mind sharing their private lives with everyone else. The writer uses evidence to send the message that some people died when they are trying to take a perfect selfie in an improper situation. Based on what the author is saying, he is totally fine with the selfie itself; however, at the same time, he is pointing out that people are doing it wrong, which
I remember the day just like it was yesterday, the pale color and coldness of her skin. The sky was clear blue, soft, with a touch of red, and the trees seemed stiff in their bright green shade. The wind was blowing with its humid dry air. And All I could do was stand silently in disbelief, caught up in my own thoughts and calm as I ever been. Wondering what I could have done differently to change the course of time, life had taken us upon. Since that very day a chunk of my heart was ripped away, and broken into pieces… “Oh how I miss her so much.”
When the guitar god with the dark khol was asked if he has listened to any of Mick Jagger's records? His answer was a firm "No".
I went to Burger King with three friends. We walked a long way then I
The use of selfies and Snapchat is something that I never really understood. I don’t have a snapchat and most people think I live in the stone age because of that. I get that it is a fun way to communicate with friends, but when it starts to take over and people begin to pay more attention to the notifications and pictures on their phones instead of the environment around
I've been tinkering with this particular selfie stick for the past month. The more I've used it the more I've increased my liking for it. Time is hands-down (or rather hands-up) the absolute significant reason why my rating selected now is a 4-star!
My favorite vacation spot is St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I have been there ten times and every time has affected me in different aspects. Each year that I have gone, I have discovered something new that makes me never want to leave. The people, food, and culture are all so unique because I do not witness it on an every day basis. In the islands there are unique sights, sounds, and smells that let me know I am away from home relaxing and enjoying vacation with family.
Sometimes getting away from your home for a vacation is much needed for the mind and soul. For me, my favorite vacation place is the beautiful tourist city of Tawas, Michigan. My first exciting visit to Tawas was when I was ten years old. Since then, it has been an annual family trip. My favorite place in the city of Tawas is my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Danny’s cabin that overlooks Lake Huron. They kindly allow us to stay there each summer. The creaking floors and squeaky swing on the lakefront gives it special qualities to show the years of love families have experienced there. I have many treasured memories at this special location. It bring smells, feelings, thoughts, and emotions that are just what I need to refresh my mind and soul. Over the years, Tawas has become my favorite summer location because of the beautiful sites of the lake, the soothing sounds of the water, the old cabin, and the fun memories.
After you choose your destination the next thing you must do is reserve your airfare and hotel. This may be tough because there are many websites and travel agents that you can go through. I have found that it is cheaper and easier to go through Expedia.com. You can book your hotel and flight all together and pay one low price. I have also found that flying with Southwest Airlines is very cheap and they have many one way stops all across the country and for a cheap hotel that is very nice I recommend the Extended Stay America.
Travelling should be a memorable experience; however, the memories you create is entirely up to you? Do you want your family vacation to be remembered for the wonderful and adventurous expedition you had while hiking in Kungsleden, Sweden or will you remember the hassle you faced when the airport lost your luggage and you had to spend a large amount of your “fun” money replacing personal clothing and essentials that the airport won’t replace.
In the past sixteen years in my life I have traveled to fifteen states and one other country. I traveled across the United States to New York, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. The other country I went to was Canada. When I went to these places it was either over the summer or with school on a trip. These traveling experiences have shaped my childhood and made me become the person I am today. From all the traveling I’ve done in my life, I now love to travel and I’m glad I get to go every month to Michigan to visit my family.
For many people in Thailand today, food has become a very important aspect of any holiday celebration and special occasions. In the American western cuisine today, a regular restaurant quality meal consists of appetizers, followed by the main course, and ends with a serving of dessert, where each person would order his or her own food. In Thailand it’s the complete opposite to the American cuisine where they would never have any structure in their meals like beginning with appetizers and ending with dessert. In Thai cuisine the number of dishes is based on the number of people there are around the table, so for example if there are ten people, then ten dishes would be order. One interesting aspect about Thai cuisine is that everyone sitting around the table would equally share their food, so that no one would get stuck with eating the same plate of food, everyone gets the opportunity to enjoy the unique flavors of all the different dishes. The main reason that the Thais share their food is because they believe that it is bad luck for them to eat alone and they see that each meal is a big celebration of social and friendly interactions.
