Japan's Cat Island

Meow meow meow meow meow... ! ahem, sorry, I forgot not every human speaks Cat-anese. In the north part of Japan there is an island called Tashirojima which is "Cat Island". What are they known for? Guess...! C'mon! Cats! The small island has a small population of mostly elderly people but even more cats. They're well respected and not considered a nuisance on the island. There's a cat shrine and the cats play an important role in keeping down the rat population in the fishing town. When not too long ago there were the triple disaster in Japan, with Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear meltdown, the island was checked by the emergency agency and found there were no major destruction or death given the proximity. The only way to get to the island is via ferry from the town of Ishinomaki if you ever want to visit. Talk the TALK 1) Are you a cat person? 2) Would you ever want to visit Tashirojima?

Weekend Walks in NYC

The summer is fast approaching so that means it's time for Weekend Walks! What it is, is different communities at different times of the spring/summer close off their streets to cars and allow only Pedestrians. Usually they'll have some kind of activity or festival with things for the whole family to enjoy. If you check in the source link below you can see where and when they are happening. There's bound to be one in your neighborhood (if you live in NYC!) The next on the schedule is Main Street Queens and Heights in Manhattan on June 3rd. The Heights (156th Street) will have kids' arts and crafts activities, face painting, local neighborhood tours, and dance classes. While Main Street, Queens will be located on Main Street btw 71st Road and 72nd Avenue. Not sure what they plan to do yet. Talk the TALK 1) Does your neighborhood close of streets for a fair or block party? 2) I've been having a cold for a week now, will you wish me well?

I want to Visit Thailand

I think one of the most beautiful places you can visit in Asia has to be Thailand. With the amazing architecture and landscapes it's all a marvel of beauty to enjoy. Also the food, in my opinion is amazing. One of my favorite dishes is pad thai which is a noodles dish. I also love the chicken and ribs they make. It's of course always better to try a cuisine from its land of origin. There's an upcoming deal on bloomspot (think groupon but more upscale) for travel there through Gate 1 Travel. I've come across Gate 1 previously when looking for deals to Asia. They seem to be one of the biggest online travel agencies to Asia. Talk the TALK 1) Have you been to Thailand, do you have a desire to go? 2) When visiting a foreign country do you usually try to get a tour guide that speaks your language or just wing it?

Get your geek on and become a medieval warrior or a juggler if you like. Perhaps a fair maiden? LOL. UK too far? Lots of these type of events are held across the United States and perhaps in your country as well. Okay, maybe not Antarctica or North Korea...
