Notable Notes: 10 Interesting Things We Have Seen
1. HS “Class Of” T-shirts
In Africa, there are many people wearing “I graduated from ____ HS Class of 1995” T-shirts. This is funny when you know the HS is in the US. I guess this is a popular item to give to goodwill and where do they end up? Africa, apparently.
2. Topless Bathing With Geriatrics
In Greece, we went for a swim in the Adriatic. The beach we chose was a geriatric hangout. We witnessed many an old lady (and a couple of old men) changing on the beach. Shirt off, bra off, suit on, no worries.
3. Taxi Ride Hijacking
While in a taxi in Egypt, we were stopped at an intersection and two kids ran in front of our taxi, stopping the driver. They then tried to get in. This was not really a hijacking. In Egypt, it is common to share a cab. They were only asking the driver if he was going their way. However, it was pretty weird at first.
4. Matola Ride
In Malawi (Africa) they have “shared taxis” otherwise known as matolas. These are just somebody’s (small) pickup and everyone rides in the back. In the back of our matola, we had about 24 people, one guy with about 12 dozen eggs, that he didn’t break.
5. Hitchhiking Across Namibia
In Namibia, we hitched a ride with an 18 wheeler. In the course of our ride (about 17 hours and over a thousand kilometers) Mr. Lovely got to drive the truck and we got to listen to our new friend talk about how he wanted us to “see a F&^%ing Kudu man” (a kudu is a large deer with swirly horns). We also saw elephants and warthogs but did NOT see a F^%$*ing kudu.
6. Living With a Huge Beard
We have had a few arguments over the beard. We have been stared at and commented upon because of the beard. We have been offered hash and worse because of the beard. We have taken pictures of the beard and likened it to Zeus. It can almost be made into dreadlocks. The beard's name is Brodie.
7. Staying in Shitty Hotels
We have stayed in some bad hotels. Sometimes there are bugs. Sometimes there is mold or dirt. They are too hot; they are too cold. They are smelly. The toilets don’t work. They don’t have any hot showers. The worst one was in India, near the train station in Gorakhpur. It was called the Sunrise. When we stayed there, we got up before sunrise to leave.
8. Kids Carrying Goats
In the Himalayas, the porters carry everything. They carry roughly 80 pounds as far as we could tell. They carry kerosene tanks and Pepsi and cooking oil. But the weirdest one was one day as I was hiking I could smell blood. Fresh meat. I don’t know if you know that smell; it’s a little gamey. I smelled it and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Finally I realized the porters had baskets full of freshly killed goats. Cut into pieces.
9. Diving With Great Whites
In South Africa, we went into freezing cold water to swim with great white sharks. It was crazy; they were about 6 inches from our faces! One even bit the cage (I wasn’t in it at the time, but it was still pretty impressive).
10. Multiple Stick Carrying Tactics
We saw people carrying cords of wood on their bikes, on wagons that they were pushing, on their motorcycles and best of all, on their heads. I never knew there were so many ways to transport wood!

10 Reasons Why Nepal is Better Than India
 |
I know that millions of people a year visit India and have an incredible time. I have read and heard about many great travels thru the sub-continent that describe the wonder of this exotic locale. India is a place of incredible culture and history and quite unique in the world. However, after suffering through more than the standard amount of travel woes in India I began to question if the sites are worth the hassle. These hassles were further illustrated once we entered Nepal. A place with similar culture, history, landscape and people, only fewer hassles. Of course, I am well aware that India does have more to offer than Nepal (seaside beaches for one), but there are a few reasons why I think Nepal is a better choice for your travel:
1. No cows in the street.
At first these traffic clogging bovines do have some charm. You don’t get to see cows roaming freely as you walk around New York City, and it makes for a good photo op. But after a few days of dodging cows (some which attack you), being stuck in cow traffic jams and stepping around piles of cow @&#!, cow free Nepal is a joy.
2. Working sewerage systems
There are of course many infrastructure issues in developing countries. After visiting poor countries in South America, Africa and Asia I find the sanitation in India to be the worst. Open sewers and raw sewerage running down the street is sub-standard for virtually any country, for a place like India with such a fast growing economy and no shortage of labor force, this is inexcusable. Nepal, India’s poorer little brother to the east is not perfect, but it is obvious that the people expect better.
3. Smells
As you can imagine, open sewers and people who performing all manners of bodily functions on street corners in the open gives India a certain essence which is inescapable. Literally from the time you get off the plane until the time you leave, thru out the wide swath of India we visited, coastal, desert, urban and rural. The stench was there.
4. No Pushy Touts
In India everyone seems like they are only after your money. In Nepal they are as well but you don’t feel like you are being cheated.
5. Food Quality
In India many places are dirty, empty and you fear food poisoning. In Nepal, you can get pizzas, Chinese, Mexican or whatever you want, and the restaurants are clean. You can even eat salad (which is called “hygienic salad”).
6. Cost
You can get cheap food in India, but you may get diarrhea. For good food, or a semi nice room, Nepal is just cheaper.
7. Hotel Quality
As stated above, you can get a nice room in Nepal for a pretty good price. In India, you can get a pretty good price, but you may also compete with rats, roaches, mold, dysfunctional toilets and dirt.
8. Beggars
In India you get harassed at every corner. The beggars are plentiful and persistent. In Nepal, there are a few people asking for money, but it is not half as bad.
9. Toilets
In Nepal the toilets are cleaner, they flush most of the time and they don’t smell like boiled diarrhea. And they are mostly western style, which is a lot easier when you need to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.
10. Friendly Natives
The Nepalese are laid back. The shop owners are not pushy. You get the feeling people are willing to help you because they like people, not only because they are expecting something in return.

Kimin Yerinde Olmak İsterdim?
Değerli dostum Tarih bir süre önce bana bir mim yollamıştı. Ama ben ancak şimdi bu mime cevap yazabiliyorum. Bunun için epey düşündüm 'Kimin Yerinde Olmak İsterim?' diye. Tarihi kişiler, ünlüler, ünsüzler, kahramanlar, yazarlar vs. hepsini düşündüm. Ama sonunda 'Kim' olmak istediğime karar verdim.
Eğer imkanım olsaydı dünya üzerinde yaşayan tüm insanların mutlu, üzgün, öfkeli, yalnız yada neşeli olduklarında ihtiyaç duydukları şeyi yapmak isterdim. Yani müziği. Bu da demek oluyor ki buğulu bir ton, harika bir ses ve müthiş bir müzik yeteneği olan harika bir şarkıcı olmak isterdim. Tüm yüreklerin bam teline dokunmak. Hmmmm harika geliyor kulağa :) Emin olun sesimin kötü olmadığını bilmesem şu anda kulaklığımda çalan son zamanlarda dinlediğim en güzel şarkılardan birine eşlik ederdim.
Eee madem mim 'Kim' olmak üzerine o zaman bende yukarıda bahsettiğim şarkının buğulu sesli şarkıcısı olmak isterdim şu ara. Şarkıcının adı Ronan Keating. Şu anda kulaklığımdan She Believes In Me adlı şarkısını mırıldanıyor. Gerçekten mükemmel bir ses. Duyulara hitap ediyor. Sanırım bende öyle olmak isterdim yani söylediğim şarkıların insanların kalplerinde aşka, neşeye, hüzüne, mutluluğa dönüşmesini isterdim.
Bu mimde burada sona ererken geleneksel olarak sıradaki ebeleri seçiyorum. Eğer bu mim size ulaşmadıysa darkangel ve mavi ebesiniz canlar ;) Bu arada eğer bana mim gönderen canlar varsa bana bildirsinler mutlaka cevaplarım ;)
Eee o kadar bahsettin bir de dinleseydik diyorsanız buyrun aşağıdaki linkten ister dinleyin ister indirin ;)
Ronan Keating - She Believes In Me
To Carrara or not to Carrara?
When we finally purchased our home five months ago after a year and a half of looking and waiting (dreaded short sale), the house needed a complete design overhaul. The kitchen was an eyesore, with its drab, sad cabinets, green slate floors, and beige tiles. I had always dreamt of an all white kitchen with carrara marble countertops.
The only problem is every slab yard/store strongly suggested I not use carrara marble for kitchen countertops--they insisted it was for bathroom use only. In fact, they looked at me like I was downright crazy for even contemplating the idea. It was astonishing that not one person they worked with had ever installed it in a kitchen yet every design/shelter magazine that exists has featured it in their magazines for years and repeatedly.
(Although don't get me wrong, I do love me a carrara marble bathroom. Can never have enough in my mind.)
via cococozy
All of the warnings almost got to me. I searched out every alternative, but kept returning to carrara marble. There is just no substitute.
I am so happy that I didn't listen to all of the naysayers. I absolutely love the honed carrara marble (bianco) that I did get installed (and sealed.) I welcome the patina that will come with age and wear and tear. It wouldn't be so bad to feel that every time I walked in to my kitchen I am transported to Old World Europe. That day seems pretty far away as it still looks just as good as the day it was installed.
Kitchen pictures to come...
