Reverse Culture Shock. Top Story - April 2019.
It's been three years since I left Japan to return to my home country of Canada. I lived in Japan for eleven years, more than a quarter of my life. That's a long time to live outside your home country. I got married in Japan, had a child in Japan, and had a job I loved in Japan. But why did I move back to Canada? There are several reasons, which I'll briefly touch, but it was a very difficult decision. It's a decision I still live with, and I've changed a lot as a person.

Disney Made Simple Part 2
Welcome back to the next post where we start to delve into the parks a bit deeper. Our first stop is my favorite, Disney's Animal Kingdom. I am going here first as this has made a huge new addition to the park with not only a really cool area to see in the day and night with Avatar's themed Pandora, but also the two new rides that go along with it. This park is my favorite for several reasons. It is very easy to get into from the parking lot where you may not even need to get on the Tram. So, that means it's even easier to leave. It is the only park that has shade everywhere. But, it has animals. Lots and lots of animals. So, let's start our first day of planning for AK.

Common Boating Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. These lines show the passion that people have for boating. Boating is the main recreational activity in many places like Australia, Arizona, California, Macau, British Virgin Islands, etc. The boat sales in Australia especially has increased, by leaps and bounds, as the boating season and festival is set to begin in March and April of 2019. You might be having your first experience of boating or you might be a seasoned boater, some common mistakes are likely to happen. We can avoid these mistakes by precautionary measures—take a refresher course before starting, follow a checklist before departure, remain focused on the details as route, fuel, battery, anchoring, etc. The U.S. Coast Guard has rules, any mistake in your boat is your own responsibility.

Paris in Five Days
I recently went to Paris, I wanted to see all the famous monuments, taste the mouth-watering food, but also be able to relax. With only having five days there, this was going to be a bit of a struggle. Paris is a city with rich history, so it isn't surprising that the monuments are so breath-taking.

SlotZilla
My husband and I went on our first anniversary trip last year, and one of the many things we got to do was go to Las Vegas! We stayed there for two nights and one of the things we did in Vegas was the SlotZilla. If you don't know, the SlotZilla is a zip line that takes you over some busy areas, depending on the kind of ride you choose. There are two choices on how you can ride SlotZilla. You can either choose the zip line which is seven stories up, fly in a traditional sitting style and it only goes over two blocks. If the first option seems a little too boring, or you are more of a thrill seeker, the other option is to do the zoom line which is eleven stories up, fly in a "superhero" style and it goes over five blocks.

Four Things to Do at Disney Resorts
When I’m at Disney I want to keep the magic going, even when I’m not in the parks. I would love to stay at a Disney Resort every time we visit Walt Disney World, but sometimes this just isn’t possible, either due to capacity or because some of the resorts are just too darn expensive. I still want to embrace the magic that is everything Disney. I know I’m not alone with the desire to surround and immerse myself in the culture that permeates the 47 square mile property. Even if we aren’t staying at a Disney resort, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some of the fun extras that come with the Disney Resort. Here is how to add a little extra Disney magic into your vacation by visiting a Disney resort.
