Exploring Oak Park
When one thinks of Illinois, they mostly think of Chicago. Although it's well-known and big enough for someone to see something new down a street, it won't be the subject of my discussion. I shall, instead, be discussing one of the suburbs of the Chicagoland area: Oak Park.

How Language Alters Our Perception of the World
Not just because of the sweet, lyrical and at times comical way the words roll off my tongue. Or the way it reminds me of those late nights held tightly in a handsome Italian's arms. I'm in love with Italian because of how the language is formed.

Nai Harn Beach
Nai Harn Beach is a small beach located on Phuket. It offers clean sand, shady trees on its outskirts and many shops and restaurants under palm trees just off its shore. Nai Harn Beach is a great place for viewing a sunset, spending a few hours in the sun or to go for a swim.

What do you see in Mallorca?
You can fly to Majorca with the Travel Agency or you can arrange the trip yourself. Of course, as always, both solutions will have their supporters and opponents. From the entry about the Hotel you already know that we organized our trip by ourselves. So how to organize a trip to Majorca? And more importantly, what to see in Mallorca? This entry will be on the bank long, because although I tried very hard to limit the number of photos, I have the impression that on average it worked out. But it's only because these frames are just necessary here. They will say more than a thousand words.

Big Buddha Phuket
Big Buddha Phuket is probably the largest Buddha you will ever see in your life. The funny thing is, it has to be called Big Buddha Phuket because in Thailand there are several Big Buddhas. The Thais are a bit lacking when it comes to naming things so its understandable that no matter what province you go to there is a Big Buddha.

Ripley’s Aquarium Review
Ripley's Aquarium of Canada. If you haven't heard of it and you are heading to Toronto for a holiday or visit you should really look into it.

Ok I know what you're thinking. What does a race track in Niagara Falls Canada have to do with Phuket or Thailand? The name is Lovin' it on Phuket and Canada is literally on the other side of the world. Well I'm from Canada and I do spend time at home. When I am home I do stuff and things, I test my equipment and I drag my daughter Clair with me. If you think about it, I have some pretty good driving experiences to compare with the Niagara Speedway. So here's how it holds up compared to ripping around the west side of Phuket on a sports bike.
