Some scary places to visit!

Some scary places to visit!
Yes – it’s that time of the year again! With Halloween just around the corner, I wondered what were considered to be the most haunted places in the world. There is no shortage of sites that claim to list some of the most haunted places – this web site lists a dozen of the most haunted in the US, including such predictably eerie places as Gettysburg battlefield, Alcatraz prison and the quirky Winchester House, near San Jose, Ca.

Joo jooo! Kuun vika paiva taa aija haetaan suoraan kotiovelta kuvauksiin. Taala Goalla kuvataan Bollywood-leffaa ja meitsi paasee mukaan seuraamaan toimintaa. Oma roolini on jonkinnakoinen sotilashenkilo. Pieni sivuosa, mutta koko paivan on ilmanen yllapito ja kuvauspalkkiokin on luvassa.
Tanaan kaytyani Chapora fortissa tunsin itseni tahdeksi, kun KAIKKI paikalla olleet nuoret intialaiset matkaajat halusivat kuvaan kanssani ja kysymystulva oli loputon. Ihan nastaa. Intialaisille tuntuu olevan kasittamatonta, kuinka jengi voi noin vaan lahtea puoleksi vuodeksi minne vaan huvittaa.
Eilen oli sitten ensimmaiset kunnot psy-kemutkin. 9bar avasi ovensa ja bisse oli ilmaista! Jalat rakoilla…

Is it too easy to become a travel agent?

Is it too easy to become a travel agent?
Apparently Royal Caribbean thinks so. According to Travel Weekly, the cruise line has ended sales partnerships with travel agents that could be viewed as “card mills”, places where anyone can pay $500 plus $50 a month to get a website and a travel agent ID card.

hey everyone
Sorry I have not been keeping my blog entries up to date, as I would usually write here every day but these towns here are so old fashioned there are hardley any places I can access the internet here besides the library and this one internet cafe I found here in Ipswich.
Anyway to cut a long story short Ive been having a good time. Ive been going around with my cousin Jeyda and her boyfriend Erkan (i think I spelled that right) and their friends Selchuk (I know I didnt spell that right) who are both from Tukey and Ala who is from Poland.
There is not really a lot to do in this town except walk down by the sea and along the beach, but latley its been a bit chilly and the weather has not been very sunny which sucks.
Erkan works in a kebab shop as a delivery guy and Jeyda and I go on his deliveries with him till 1am each night. It gives me a good chance to see the town. As I said before, Felixstowe is one of the largest Ports (if not the largest) in the UK and a lot of the men who work there order food from the kebab shop. The port is closed to the public and only authorised people are allowed to go inside, so Ive been lucky enough to go inside and see everything that not everyone gets to see, which is cool. There is a really nice viewing point down by the docks where you can see all huge ships bring in cargo. Its a bit like Newcastle in Australia but on a much bigger scale.
Usually after all the deliveries, we drive to Ipswich to pick up Selchuk and drive him back home with us. His gf Ala has been staying with us too the last 2 nights. Erkan’s english is not that good, and him, Jeyda and Selchuk speak a lot of Turkish but we all seem to understand one another becuase Ive picked up a lot on what they are saying and Jeyda translates for all of us.
Yesterday I went to see my great grandmothers grave in Ipswich. She died in 1987 at 91 years old, and it was soooo creepy seeing my last name on a headstone. It was good to go and take a few pictures.
Umm what else. oh yeah, My aunty took me to play bingo (lol) last week, which was an experience becuase I really had no idea what to do at first but in the end I won 30, which is roughly around A$70, so that was awesome.
Today Im in Ipswich, just been shopping. There are some great shops here, so I just bought a new handbag for 10 becuase the one I took with me broke cuz I shoved to much of my crap in there. I was also kinda getting over the scarfs I brought with me so I went a bought a new blue lurux one for 7 and my coats that I brought with me are just not cutting it when it comes to keeping me warm (especially at night when Im so cold my bones in my legs hurt), so I went and bought this awesome grey lined hooded coat that comes down to my knees and its soooo lovley and warm for 35 which was good cuz it was like 60..so yeah.
Well tomorrow Im heading back to London on the bus and going on contiki on Monday. I’ll post some pictures soon and I’ll keep everyone posted!
Bye!
