Around the World…a dream too BIG.
“Yessss!! I finally get to travel the world,” the girl thought to herself as she is whisked away on a KLM flight destined for Amsterdam. She brings out a planner from her purse as she reviews the course of her 3-month trip. She again utters some thank yous to her aunty who had managed to rack up enough money and purchase her an around the world flight ticket for her eighteenth birthday. The plane has now landed and it is a happy sunny day in Amsterdam as opposed to the gloomy rainy Boston she just left. She leaves the airport and enters the city. In her excitement, she can’t help but use the little Dutch she learned from her phrasebooks. Hoe gaat het met u vandaag?(how are you today?) she says to people as she prances around, looking for a taxi to take her to her hotel. This was only the beginning of many wonderful adventures to come.
She twirls around in her newly purchased wooden clogs all over Holland. She heads over to Berlin and is just in time for an amazing Rammstein concert. She takes a tour in Jerusalem to experience the Wailing Wall and the Dome of the Rock herself. She takes a dive with the dolphins in the Caribbean. She falls in love at a nightclub in Barcelona. She lives out her myth in Athens and Santorini. She enjoys the Songkran Festival in Bangkok. She marvels at the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre in Egypt. She is astounded by the Taronga zoo in Sydney. She is intrigued at the site of the aged beauty of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. She hops on a train headed for London just as it begins to rain. She closes her eyes to sleep during the long journey. She feels cold drops of water on her forehead. She wakes up, staring at the huge leak in her ceiling. It thunders outside as the rain pours on. She is in her room back in Boston. The dull gray of the early morning rain casts looming shadows of nearby trees on her wall. She hears her mother give a weak cough in the next room of the shack. She sighs. “Just another dream” she says to herself. “Just another fairytale that I will never be able to afford to live.”

adoption in Pattaya Thailand!? How can i go through with something like this?
I hear their is an adoption center in Pattaya Thailand!
I am looking to adopt but am single and am twenty-four years old. (Almost twenty-five)
I want to adopt a little girl. What are some rules or does anyone know how much something like this will cost?
Do Thai girls like tall, black (or brown) guys?
I was in Pattaya a few days ago although i had a lot of fun. My white friend was getting way more attention than me... Even though im way better than him when it comes to dealing with woman and im the one who is more popular with the women here.
Alot of them just straight out rejected me...point blank. Its like they had already decided they dont want me before i even approached them. Now im generalizing here....of course there where those who where very cool. But it seems like the white folks there were getting women without even trying.
So... What do Thai girls really think about black guys. Think "snoop dogg" cz i look just like him in everyway and everywhere i go ppl holla SNOOP!
Ps. Im not emotionaly distraught or anything like that so i would appreciate just the facts and not supportive words like "it doesnt matter what you look like...its who you are that matters, not what you are...etc"
Appreciate your input guys.
You see... Im talking about even the bar girls and the pros. Alot of them werent interested the least bit even though, as far as they knew, i was a paying customer.
And you know how it is in Thailand, especially in Pattaya, when the girls hit the club and almost everyone of them goes there with a price tag. Yes, alot would go out with a guy for free if they really liked him but nonetheless they are still pros (more or less).
Anyway... Whenever i approached these girls at the club about %60 would straight out reject me. Now that really had me shocked considering in the states where the club scene is different in a way that the girls here arent really in the club to make money and i hardly ever get rejected like that.
But if a white guy approached them, they would be way more receptive.
So that had me wondering...was it my "style" and "attitude"...or was is that i was tall and black.
