    Sort of. When I moved I opened a new account but still kept the old one. I get reward points from the new account so I use that way more often then the old one.

    Traveling is just a luxury for many!! Many can not imagine of it, for they are too busy with making just 2 ends meet.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    That's true I guess I should be grateful for the oppotunities I'm afforded. I have been able to see some really cool places and met a lot of different people.

    On this trip, however, I'm stuck with a loud, rude, and obnoxious coworker. Stories to follow.

    So apparently I have very little taste. All the plants and trees that I think are pretty are turning out to be weeds. All along the road around here are these pretty yellow flowers that look like daisies, I really dig them turns out they are considered weeds. Today I went out to an excavation site and remarked that a certain tree was pretty. Again - the tree is considered a nuisance and people pay money to get rid of them.

    But arent wildflowers also conidered weeds? in fact arent weeds simply plants that turn up even if they werent planted? SO maybe we should admire them...plus your tastes mean your garden will be airly easy to tend paya.....a bit like ours which is over rn with daisys and dandelions mostly because we actually like them. Although my mum did pull loads out a couple of months ago.

    What are the yellow flowers, papaya? They could well be weeds (ie a plant growing in the wrong place) in whatever part of the world you are now but there may well be cultivated versions growing in gardens back home. Similarly with the tree - it may grow to weedlike proportions because of conditions where you are visiting but have to be cossetted elsewhere. I rhapsodised over the zantedeschias ('arum' lilies) growing wild in Western Australia last year - do they grow in my garden? Do they h***! - and was told very brusquely they were noxious weeds and were not permitted in gardens because they 'escape' and cause problems in agriculture. And then I wanted to take photographs of them - that really convinced my cousin's OH that all Brits are loonies.

    Traveling is just a driveler of the few and luxury of the majority.

    Tonight, the PM took us to a spot where a river goes underground it's a very cool place but on the way there we stopped to look at another area of the park and walk up on a big horn sheep. Holy Moly, we were not 5 feet away from the thing. Pictures to follow.

    I think traveling is incredibly important. I think its a great way to understand other people's cultures/customs etc. Every penny I earn is going to go towards me traveling around the world. I'll even travel with out any money...haha, just to see the world would be amazing.

    I don't want you to stop!!!
