September 3, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

In 2018, a group of young Thai football players and their coach found themselves stranded in the flooded Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand. The rescue mission that involved countless divers, military personnel and volunteers from many countries took over 2 weeks to safely pull every one of them out of the cave. The incident once sent a shock wave reverberating around the world. A year later, this nail-biting rescue event was made into a … [Read more...]

Book Review: Buy Your Own Island – The Ultimate Guide to Breaking Free and Making Your Dreams Reality

October 27, 2020 by Teh Chin Liang2 Comments

I would like to thank the author, Danny Flood, for providing me a free copy of this book. As a person living paycheck to paycheck, an escape to a paradise island always sounds like a rare luxury - a place I can temporarily escape from my 9 to 5 grind. But imagine, what if we could own an island so that our life would feel like a dream vacation all the time? “Buying Your Own Island” is a metaphor in the book for taking full control of your … [Read more...]

Adaptive Hunting: How To Go Hunting With A Disability

May 10, 2020 by Pete MLeave a Comment

Having a disability doesn’t mean that you can’t get out on a hunt. If you love the outdoors and would love to go game hunting, then there are many options for this to happen. It won’t be easy as a wheelchair won’t be able to get around some places when tracking your prey. But, it is doable. In fact, disabled people have been hunting successfully since the 1980’s and things have vastly improved since then. Though there have been advances in … [Read more...]

Bum Guns: A Love Story

October 5, 2019 by Kyle David IversonLeave a Comment

Bum Gun Title Page

Pants around my ankles, I can’t look away. It’s staring at me, a droplet of water slithering slowly down its face. The droplet reaches the bottom, clings, swells, then splatters against the tile floor. And I’m thinking no, I mean, they can’t, can they? They can’t actually- the angles alone! But they must, because every bathroom into which I’ve slapped my slippery flip-flops as one installed. Right there, next to the toilet. Sometimes righty, … [Read more...]

Exploring Two Iconic Cities, New York and San Francisco

December 14, 2018 by Dave3 Comments

Located on opposite ends of the coast, both New York and San Francisco offer a rich variety of experiences and activities on but for different reasons. New York is an older city and certainly much larger often overwhelming for first time visitors which is why signing up for New York Tours is a good idea. They sell all new York attractions, Hop on Hop off Bus tickets, other activities and combination experiences. New York City offers great … [Read more...]

Slave Trade Sites Part 2: Gorée Island, Senegal.

August 18, 2018 by Pete Martin3 Comments

It’s a short ferry ride to Île de Gorée (Gorée Island) from Senegal’s capital, Dakar. I wonder if I can take another day of slave museums in my worn-out state after a severely delayed flight. I quickly regret this stupid thought. Of course I can; it’s only a lack of sleep. It bears absolutely no comparison with what these people went through, so I’m sure that I can find the energy to pay my respects. Everything is calm belying the awful … [Read more...]

Foodlovers: The most unusual dishes of the world

June 13, 2018 by Jessica V3 Comments

Humans are like Ants. We can eat anything. Just ask the people who live in America and East Asia. In fact, you'll find foods in this world that seem like sprung from Satan's own cookbook. Not just that such food exists, but that people would actually stick this stuff in their mouths without a gun to their head. Suppose that, you have to write an essay on the weird or unusual dishes of the world. In this article, I am going to let you know … [Read more...]
