The maid passed through my room every weekday as a maintenance closet was located in the hobby room. One day she stumbled, upturned her basket on the floor and everything went flying. I thought I heard some object slide under the intercom cabinet, but the maid didn't notice. She retrieved her items and continued out the door and locked it. I looked under the cabinet, saw something shiny and fished out a key – the key to my door! That afternoon, I went into town and made a copy of the key, and then restored the original to its spot under the cabinet. The maid found it several days later.
Armed with my key, I went through the entire house, poking and spying without disturbing anything. I found stationary, signature examples, account numbers, and other interesting information I pilfered and hid in the hobby room for some possible future use. There were a few locked cabinets in the master bedroom and elsewhere in the house, but I couldn't find the keys to open them.
In the master bedroom, I discovered a list containing numbers and locations next to the intercom, and a code that said listen-only. Experimenting with the code and location numbers, I discovered PP could secretly listen to every room in the house where an intercom was installed. And now, so could I. I also noticed there was a blip of white noise when the listen-only mode was engaged – I had heard this blip before and realized PP had been listening to me in the hobby room.
I spied on PP and María via the intercom – it was devastating to listen to them talking and making love, but I couldn't stop listening. Under PP´s influence, María described me as pathetic and useless as a lover. When PP fucked her, her moans and wails filled the intercom and twisted in my groin.
* * *
PP called me to his bedroom one morning to bring coffee while he power-fucked María. Her face was hidden in the pillows, her breasts bobbed under her as he pounded her, and PP taunted me by saying this was how a real man fucks another man's wife. As PP fucked her from behind, he raised his hand from her hip – the indent of his fingers remained as if custom-carved into her hip, and he twisted his body so I could watch his penis working her vagina. He stroked her back along the spinal column, raising goose-bumps, and her back and derriere rose as he stroked. I watched mesmerized. Then María sneezed at the wrong moment and his penis popped out – the spell was broken and I looked away. That's when I noticed the monitor flicker from a crack in the closet door.
When they left the house, I returned to the bedroom and discovered four closed-circuit monitors that flipped between rooms in the house and around the house exterior. A fifth monitor looped, displaying a recorded scene of an unknown man anus-fucking another naked man in the hobby room, anus-fucking me! My flaccid, broken penis flopped from side-to-side as he pounded my anus, otherwise, I was passively enduring the pounding. As I watched, I realized this was not sex, neither for him nor for me. It was simple humiliation of a hated gringo capitalistic pig, nothing more than masturbation with my anus. This video must have given PP hours of pleasure. They were likely watching it in the morning – I wondered if María enjoyed watching my humiliation. I flipped through a stack of DVDs with dates and names and wondered if PP was more interested in filming the men fucking me than in me.
Then I wondered where the camera was located. Returning to the hobby room, I determined the only possible location for the camera was the smoke detector on the ceiling. Now I knew PP could watch and record me, and listen to me whenever he desired. I returned to the monitor to examine what areas of my room were within view of the camera and saw there was a large blind spot behind and to the door side of the camera where the intercom cabinet was located. I reasoned if I spent time or did activities in the blind spots, PP might suspect I had discovered the camera.
On the back side of the smoke alarm, a faint red LED would flash regularly but would periodically stay red for variable time periods. I realized when the LED was lit, the camera was on. Now I knew when PP was watching me, primarily when the men fucked me, and I pondered how I could defeat his surveillance. I also understood the purpose of the high bed frame – it was a good height for a fucking platform for filming.
* * *
I decided to take the exact opposite approach – whenever his male visitors would visit to anus- or mouth-fuck me, I positioned myself to give the camera the most explicit view. I tried it out that very night with a large party of academics from Guatemala City. I even faked passion and orgasms for the camera. And I hoped María would be watching to see what I had made of my life – to free her, to please her.
The men that fucked me seemed to enjoy my new active role, and I starting performing for the camera. At subsequent parties, I lay on my back and had them fuck me missionary style, while I humped my anus into their penises. Some of the men leaned forward to kiss my growing breasts. And they no longer fucked a passive mouth, but rather I performed complete testicle and penis sucks with great flourishes for the camera. Some men wanted to dim the lights but I insisted on keeping adequate light for the camera.
I put a basket of condoms and lubricant next to my bed. I kept the basket full, overflowing, as my tacit acknowledgment of their right to plunge their penises into my body. On party days, I arranged the strips of condom packages, punctuated with lubricant tubes and bottles of different colors, flavors and smells, into cute designs, scattered around the hobby room. Sometimes the children would carry off the colorful condoms – I wondered what their parents thought.
As I lay on my back to be fucked missionary style, I could see the faint red reflection on the wall that indicated PP was recording the event. I had an ulterior motive for performing for the camera – I hoped PP would be attracted by my energetic fucking to come and make love to me in the missionary position, to kiss my nipples, to be my lover, but he never came. He never even came just to talk, only to cajole. Every sexual session with PP began with affirmations of my uselessness and 'joto'-ness, then proceeded to tell me what he wanted me to do.
My new attitude caused several unexpected side effects: the number of single men increased at the parties. Whereas before I had 2-3 male visitors in a night (and the occasional woman), now 5-6 was a common number, and I had to switch over from anus-fucks to penis sucking halfway through the evening as my anus became sore. And I reasoned I could increase my testosterone by sucking more semen and reduce the wear-and-tear on my anus by ejaculating the men by mouth. I still was expected to perform the penis-eating-snake trick at least once during each party.
I also noticed some of these single men had been at previous parties with their wives. As they fucked me, doubly betraying their wives, I suspected these leftist elites harbored a lot of latent homosexual men, married and single, and wondered if their sexual confusion reflected the same moral confusion as their leftist philosophies. Men also started visiting the house outside of the parties, always when María wasn't there, and they always came in to fuck me. The maid showed them in, and her once indifference to me now became undisguised contempt. I don't know how the men knew María was absent, maybe they coordinated with PP. I was whored out again, no doubt the bitch most often fucked in Antigua.
During the parties, the men put a 'do not disturb sign' on the door when they came in – I never knew this until I discovered the sign hidden in a vase. I was willing to be observed and group-fucked in any case. I hid the sign and over time, my fucking sessions were observed by men and women, but I was never group-fucked.
Some of the men cursed the gringo capitalist pig, others fiercely squeezed my genitals in the moment of passion, as if to belatedly participate in and derive status from my castration. They sometimes peeled their condoms off and threw them on my back.
* * *
Regardless of the quantity of semen I swallowed, my body became rounder with softer curves, feminized from the lack of hormones. My breasts increased to almost a full A-cup size, although my nipples stayed small. PP's doctor recommended against hormone replacement therapy, citing cancer risk. I enjoyed the small breasts but didn't want to get so big as to need a bra, so I insisted, and the doctor gave me another pill that contained an additional dosage of testosterone. It didn't help – my body continued to feminize, my body hair thinned out, and my breasts continued to grow.
Even more unexpected to my new attitude was PP's reaction – he appeared more often in my room to reward me with penis/testicle sucks, although I could tell he was enjoying what I did to him more than ever. I worshiped his penis; I loved him for his penis and I wanted him to love me. I did my best to give him the best penis suck possible and was in heaven when he rewarded me with his semen. He rarely wanted to anus-fuck me, only when he wanted something special from me. And he never visited me while María was in the house. I also noticed his frequency and intensity of sex with María increased, and I spent many nights listening to their noisy sexual dance on the intercom. María also worshiped his penis and was shameless in begging PP for more, as she never had with me.
Most unexpected of all was my reaction – pretending I enjoyed fucking these men turned into actual enjoyment. Exposed explicitly to the camera, I tried hard to please them and in turn, they pleased me. But it wasn't until I actually climaxed as an energetic young med-school student fucked me missionary style while sucking my A-cup nipples that I realized I had crossed-over into homosexuality. I wanted these men to anus-fuck me, to fondle and kiss my breasts, even to squeeze my broken penis and fake testicles. PP was right – I had become his 'puto, joto, perra guycito!' Although my passion for María's body never diminished, I rarely saw her except when she was being fucked by PP to humiliate and torment me.
I began to fantasize about sex with PP and with these other men, the thought of sex with women gradually faded from my mind. I was 'joto', a queer, eager to enjoy any type of sex with men. The only homosexual act I couldn't tolerate was mouth kissing, not even for PP. And I ejaculated frequently – kissing my A-cup nipples was a guaranteed ejaculation. I didn't try to hide my climaxes from the camera, I was proud of them, although I realized my climaxes confirmed me as the bitch of these men and gave them power over me as I craved them to fuck me. And it also distracted me away from my goal of pleasing María. In fact, any noble purpose I ever had was lost as I became just another old queer.
I fucked the men for fun, for sheer sex fun. I was a cheap whore, the cheapest – free. Some of the men came to me drunk or drugged, ashamed of their ethical and moral depravity. I thought their collectivism ate at their conscience, and they compensated by fucking and abusing the gringo. Some would undress to fuck me, strutting their erect penises before plunging them into me. Most men only dropped their pants for the quickest possible fuck.
Each of these men was unique in their approach and treatment of me. Some were stiff and clumsy as if I were their first homosexual experience, and others were quite practiced. I prided myself to think all the men learned quickly with me.
Some of the men left me money; others folded money around their calling cards, their private cell numbers written on the back. I received requests to go with these men elsewhere but always refused. One older, distinguished professor of medicine was the first man to suck my penis at the parties, and I rewarded him with a feeble ejaculation. He must have liked the taste – this Prof gave me a cell phone with his number pre-programmed into the auto-dial button.
I realized I could control the pace and intensity of their climaxes by varying the force with which I humped my anus over their penises, or the timing of contracting my anus around their penises, or how I caressed their penises with my mouth.
In the moments of their orgasms, some of these men professed to love me. I reflected back to the stories of slave women being raped by their owners, eventually becoming a freed, open mistress or wife.
It was easy to manipulate some of the men and I asked them for small gifts and favors. I finally realized the power of the Female and that magical orifice, the vagina. I had breasts, a rounded body, an orifice between my legs these men loved. As PP had foretold, I had become a woman, and I felt powerful as a woman. Now the stories of women fucking their way to the top of penis power structures made perfect sense. The vagina must be the world's strongest force.
By controlling them sexually in the moment, I converted their assault, rape, and humiliation of me into sex and humiliation. I never gave up the humiliation. I loved it and I encouraged them to say degrading comments about me and to fuck me roughly. I purposely throated and gagged on their penises, asking them to grab my head and mouth-fuck me deeply, and I convulsed for the camera. PP must have been proud to watch me do this, and I sure he had María watch with him. I didn't care, in fact, I became proud my debasement would free María of me, to be exclusively attached to the man she loved, to please her.
I thought I was totally in control of the men until I heard myself begging one man to fuck me. He was particularly adept at exciting me by caressing his penis around my face, kissing my neck and ears and face, caressing my body, kissing my nipples, humiliating comments, and his technique of stroking my anus – I would lose myself in him until I ejaculated. As he kissed my ears, neck, and face, the longing for María's deep kisses would overwhelm me and I craved to be kissed. The man sensed this and at the moment of my desperation, he put his penis head on my lips and I would kiss it imagining María's lips, tongue, and mouth. If it's possible to French-kiss a penis head, I did it. I began to understand also the general power of the penis over women (and men). The specific power of PP's penis I understood all too well.
I didn't mind their leftist comments, they were naive and ignorant, but they excited the men. The comments insulting my manhood excited me – I lapped up the humiliation.
My ejaculations weren't pretty or exciting – only the lower stub of my penis became engorged when I was aroused. The two upper sections were flaccid and crookedly limp. I couldn't shoot semen – the best I could do was to dribble semen through my broken penis, and it was always on display.
* * *
Of course, PP filmed all my sexual encounters with these academics. They would be shocked to know PP recorded them, and I wondered if PP had ulterior motives for filming them. And I wondered what María thought as she watched me perform as an enthusiastic homosexual.
In the house, PP and María had few secrets from me, I could hear their normal conversation over the intercom, but intimate whispers were inaudible. I listened to the daily hum-drum of their lives, the small talk I had once had with María, and the shared ordinariness of everyday living tore at my soul. I missed those moments with her. I heard María complaining to PP about the parties. She loved parties where she could dance and exhibit her body. She was always the star when dancing. But María disliked the men's visits to the hobby room where the activity was homosexual sex, not strong men vanquishing the weak. Perhaps some leftover Catholic baggage. After her complaints to PP, the frequency of the parties diminished.
Furthermore, María didn't sympathize with the politics of the university elites PP had chosen to humiliate me. Ever since her experience with the politicians in California, María detested the lefties, especially the feminists screeching about equality – why did they want to be like everyone else when they have the liberty of everything? Why should she be limited to being like everyone else? She didn't want equality, she wanted liberty to be and do whatever she could. When the feminists said the government should give women the right to whatever, she said she didn't need government permission to do that or anything else. And whatever permission they can give, they can take away. It wasn't a right, just a politically expedient permission, usually another corruption of vote buying.
* * *
Single men continued visiting the house often, always when María wasn't present. If PP wasn't there, the maid brought them in to me. I thought it was strange they came regularly, almost as if I had fixed visiting hours. It didn't make sense.
After a particularly rough session, the man commented he had gotten what he paid for as he pulled several small bills from his wallet and dropped them into my bedside basket, saying I deserved a tip. A tip…
The pieces fell into place – PP was pimping me. That's why the visits came on schedule, María was absent and the maid was present. PP had converted me into a prostitute, and I hadn't realized it. He had defeated me completely, had fulfilled every threat he had made to me.
I received another visitor that day, the older distinguished Prof that had given me a cell phone weeks before and was still a frequent visitor. In his weakest moments preceding his ejaculation, I asked him how much he had paid PP. My ego dropped lower than my missing testicles when I heard what a cheap prostitute I was – it was little wonder I was popular. Furious at myself, I plowed into the Prof, humping my anus into his penis, manhandling him, teasing his neck and face with rough kisses, until he exploded in climax – I wanted him to get his pittance payment worth out of me, and I could see the camera was on. As he lay next to me panting, he renewed his offer to take me to Guatemala City to make me his lover, and I conceded I'd consider it.
I sent PP a note through the maid asking him if he was pimping me. He didn't answer but the visits from these men stopped. If María found out he was pimping me to homosexuals, she would leave him. I was mainly upset PP had kept the money he sold me for, symbolic as it was. I wondered what else he could do to me. Hook me on heroin? Kill me with an overdose? Drive me to suicide?
After calming down, I couldn't figure out why I had any particular objection to PP pimping my body. I had pledged myself to him, and I regretted sending the note. Except for the occasional appearance of the maid, I lost all human contact. The maid despised me and refused to look or talk with me. I couldn't easily leave the house – I was a freak outside, subject to taunting and violence. I missed the visits from the men, and I realized I was hooked on sex with them. Day after day, I paced around the room, watched homosexual porn on the Internet, played with the small animals, and became bored to the point of considering suicide.
I began to play with Hilda, letting her slide around my arms, neck, and legs, enjoying even this touch of another live animal. She seemed to remember me – I'd put my hand inside her box and she'd wind herself around my arm. On the third or fourth day of playing with her, she must have seen my penis jiggle just right as she struck the penis head unexpectedly, and started swallowing. I liked it, and I let her swallow my penis entirely as I stroked her body with my fingertips. Thereafter, it became a daily ritual – I let her crawl over my body until she found my penis and swallowed it. I'd lay back, aroused by her tugging, and I mentally transformed the small bites and burning sensation into the ecstasy of the ejaculation I craved.
PP must have watched my sessions with Hilda and thought I was ready for the next step in his plan for me. He brought me a new toy, a thin wire about 2 feet long with wood handles on both ends. He sat in front of me, wrapped the wire twice around my penis, and pulled it snug. Just another twitch of his hands and my broken penis would lop off onto the floor. He unwrapped it, wrapped it again around my entire genitals, snugged it tight, then a little more. The wire cut into my skin and I bled a few drops. He said, "You see how it works? Take the handles." I did, and I waited for his command. He said, "You know what to do. The next time you're bored, you can play with this." And he left me standing there with the means to end my sexual misery forever. María had forbidden him to hurt me, but I could certainly do it myself. But I wasn't bored, wasn't ready yet. Something was missing. Pain. There was no pain – I needed pain.

Most translation agencies cost their clients for translation work based on for each phrase or for each page. For the price for each word design, it will significantly depend on the complexity of the textual content and which language you are translating from and into. Some agencies also cost by for each hour which indicates that the last price of your translation services will depend on how many hours the translator estimates he or she will have to function on the translation.
One time while walking about Chicago on a business trip, I got lost. I merely known as the hotel phone number that I stored in my phone contacts below 'Travel' to get directions. As a plus, the resort front desk person took pity upon me and despatched a vehicle because I was 6 blocks away and it had began to snow. I believe I sounded a little bit freaked out because it doesn't snow a great deal in my hometown. I felt like a queen touring back again to the hotel in the comfy, heat car. This would have by no means occurred if I had not stored their quantity in my telephone.

We always appear for translators to translate into their mother tongue and create this in our adverts. But we usually get a masses of CV's for individuals who do not fit the invoice. For occasion I post a job for a Italian>English Translation and get a CV from a Portuguese translator indigenous speaker who is fluent in neither language.
If I hire a expert to do my Norwegian translation, will I find treasure? Perhaps I will actually discover instructions in my great great Norwegian Grandmother's diary on exactly where to discover buried treasure. Alright, maybe that is somewhat wishful considering. Actually, my goal is to feel nearer to my roots and more connected to my distant cousins in Norway.
Don't be shy when somebody asks you what makes you so different from those than do the exact same factor. It's completely fine to brag about your specialty. Remember, what is essential is to stand out from the group. You won't stand out from the group if you hide behind your shyness or just keep it to yourself.
The Iphone is the single most important business instrument I personal. It is a should have for the busy business individual or those who are constantly dropping essential things. It is a calendar, telephone guide, digital camera, flashlight, alarm clock, guide, movie participant, songs player, game participant, journey companion, grocery checklist, word processor, photo album, and a journey guide. Now, if the guys at Apple could just determine out how to make it drive a car it would be ideal. There will probably be an application for that someday.

Home business ownership has a lot of benefits, such as choosing your hours and managing yourself. You will be a part of something that means a lot to you, as well. This article is going to show you what can be done if you wish to have a home based business, so read on.
Plan in advance to avoid any pitfalls when running a work from home business. Get a plan put together and see if you can have a consultant look over it. Do an objective analysis together. You can get started once you have a good plan. You can easily refine the details once things get moving.
It is vital that you have adequate insurance if you are going to have customers visiting your home premises. This will cover you in the event that a customer gets hurt on your property, or your business equipment is damaged.
Keep on top of what is trending to make sure you are not selling dated items. Look up products which are hot for Christmas, or new gadgets for Father's Day, or seminars that can teach you new skills to improve the services you already offer.
Start a business you are sure will be profitable. Some online business ideas sound promising but the market is already saturated. You do not want to be competing in a space with thousands of competitors. Do your research and find out which business is the best for you financially.
Office space is a tax write-off. Taxes can be a huge burden to any new business, but most home business enterprise owners do not realize you can write off your space. A portion of all your household expenses, like electricity and rent, can be claimed on your return as necessary business costs.
Don't do too much for your home business's website like throw blinking graphics and animations all over it unless it has to do with your business. Flashy graphics should just cater to kids or parties. If your business is more low-key, retain that much excitement in your website.
You will find a lot of good advice about work from home business ownership on the Internet. Be aware, though, of the many scams dealing with home businesses online. Some sites sell information that can be had for free, and some sell worthless information. Lots of scams exist that want you to pay money to be able to work. If it is sound too good, it probably isn't true.
It isn't as hard or as time-consuming as you think to run a work from home business. Creating a plan and following through with it will help you really enjoy your work from home business. It's great to be the boss of yourself. These tips can really help!

Making money from gaming is especially good if you love online games. There are plenty of ways to make money gaming online:
If you can dedicate hours to your gaming and you've reached a high standard, then you could join esports and take part in tournaments. The competition is fierce, so it's something you should do if you need money on a regular basis. But, if you think you can compete with the best, then you can make some serious prize money. It will give you news of events and competition winners.
You can make money playing video games. Games testing isn't highly paid, but you can still make money testing games. You need to be sure you're not someone who will get bored quickly. Testing games that are still at the development stage mean that you need to play the game or parts of the game repeatedly in order to report any problems or faults to the development team.
If you like the sound of becoming a gold trader and you're used to playing virtual reality games like World of Warcraft, you can sell gold and other items online. You can even set up and run your own business in a game like Second Life and the profits are in genuine cash.
Twitch is a social media platform using YouTube gaming. You stream your games using the Twitch Platform on YouTube and interact with others on the platform. Over 1.7 million people use this platform to watch, discuss, give tips and help other gamers.
The idea is that you build up an audience and then you can advertise on your streaming channel and make money. You'll be amazed at how many gamers watch other people play and this is how Twitch has become so popular.
Broadcasters are fans who have registered with Twitch and regularly stream footage of their game and talk about it while they are doing it. It doesn't have to be live, some gamers edit their footage. If you're a live-wire and you love gaming you don't need any experience to give it a go. The Twitch website will take through the process step by step.
You will need broadcasting software though and there a few to choose from:
XSplit enables users to live stream and broadcast onto platforms such as YouTube and Twitch. There are two Xsplit types. Broadcaster is for anyone who wants to stream or broadcast music, esports, video, podcasts and webinars. However, if you're a gamer, you'll want to use Gamecaster to share and broadcast your gaming activities. All you need to do is sign up to the XSplit site and you can use most of the applications free of charge. If you want to use all of their applications you do have to purchase a licence. There are two to choose from. A personal licence for casual use will cost you $2.50 a month for 36 months, $3.33 for 12 months or $4.98 for a 3-month license.
OBS is a free open software application that you can use for recorded or live video to share your games with platforms such as Twitch.
vMix is another live production and streaming software platform. It has a whole host of features and a choice of six editions which range from Free up to Pro at $1,200. It will also give you a month's free trial so that you can make sure your computer is compatible and you like the look of it.
Once you've built up a fanbase you can start making money by advertising, or by selling subscriptions or by asking for donations. You should be prepared to stream on a daily basis. You should love to talk as well as play because that's a big part of getting people to follow you. Twitch advertisers look for gamers who have a following of 500 or more and that broadcast at least three times a week.
You won't get rich quick, but you can earn over £900 a month if you have 500 or more followers, which does take time to build up.

Stuff: Hometown Proud
It's a good time for our fair city. There hasn't always been a lot of hometown love going around but things are definitely feeling up. The city is growing, summer was good, and the Blue Jays are headed to the playoffs for the first time in over 20 years. It's nice to see everyone excited about being a world class city.
Wether you call it 416, the6, tdot, Hog Town, or Torono (like a local), this is a great place to be. This rad Love Toronto Pocket Tee from local Peace Collective captures how I feel about this city, I got a lot of love for Toronto in my pocket.

The subject of how good our memory is can be a painful one. We've all known individuals whose memory was excellent at one time, but now with advanced age or illness suffer poor recollection. It is debilitating and shameful for many.
Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" and what better way to hold to His teaching than to study His word.

A Expression of Easter Thanks From This Side of the Resurrection Of Christ (Based on a quote in Inner Compass by Margaret Silf, page 264)
I was given the assignment recently to make some introductory comments about inspiring worship as a group of people put their heads together to navigate the results of the Natural Church Development Survey. What follows are the four compass points for me that make up inspiring worship.
Membership Like Marriage!
Sometimes being a member or an adherent of the church is compared to marriage. You can live with someone and enjoy many of the same benefits of marriage, but when two people marry, they enter into an even deeper bond of commitment to each other before God.

Buy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant: Crypto-Currency: Don't Leave Your Wallet Without It
We would like to thank you for visiting CryptoCoin in search for "Buy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant" online. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of worth, but there is no genuine tangible form of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. In the case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could possibly be dealt as a commodity. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce that this type of personal cash isn't controlled by way of a main banking system and is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted amount of items, this cash's value is based on market forces, enabling homeowners to deal over cryptocurrency exchanges.
Buy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant: The future is Now – Ethereum
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to understand how the procedure operates in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print unlimited quantities (I am not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You've probably seen this often times where you usually spread the great word about crypto. "It's not unstable? What goes on when the value failures? " to date, many POS systems provides free transformation of fiat, improving some issue, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people is going to be reluctant to put up any. We must find a method to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. Lots of people prefer to use a currency deflation, notably those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial seclusion, for example, is great for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen as part of your riches, with the remainder allowed for other currencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to manage or to cease operation. When searching forBuy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant, there are many things to think of.
Buy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant: Wealth on Fire – Crypto-Currency
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Buy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant. Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be attained by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all present bitcoins. This scenario is just not to imply that markets are not vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there's no requirement for substantial amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest occasions in the world market can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it really is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you are required fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a reasonable investment strategy. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they take part in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. This mining task validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something prohibited, it isn't recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever. If you are looking for Buy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant, look no further than Blockchain.
Buy Blackcoin Debit Card Instant: Bitcoin – I'm Showing You The Money!!
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making huge ammonts of cash with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very profitable business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology. technology because of the many advantages associated with it. This is the reason the new technology is about to alter the world from the way we view it now. Bitcoins opened the door through use of Blockchains as the first cryptocurency. Ethereum is widening the horizon in the field of smart contracts. It should be hard to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having modest increases is more rewarding than trying to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz.

How a pop star evolves
During the Huey Lewis and the News concert at the Chumash Casino a couple of weeks ago, the band kicked off its set with four songs from an upcoming album, leading some in the crowd to murmur, "Play the old stuff!"
Cyndi Lauper also plans to perform new songs at the Chumash. And like Huey Lewis, Lauper's "new" songs are actually covers of old songs. But she doesn't expect any calls for "She Bop," having made clear that this is not a greatest hits show.
"This is a blues tour," she said. "And the musicians I have with me are some of the greatest blues guys."
While most of the set list features songs from "Memphis Blues," at the end of the show, Lauper will sing some of her hits — "in a blues kind of way," she said. (In past shows, the hits portion has included "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "True Colors" and "Time After Time.")
It's no surprise that Lauper would mix things up a bit. After all, this is the same performer who drastically changed her look and music soon after her debut smash "She's So Unusual."
"Change is wonderful," she said in her trademark Brooklyn accent. "Everything changes in the world, and that's good. And also I didn't want to just stamp out the same thing over and over, because I was really hoping to become a great artist someday."
Raised in Queens, Lauper began her career belting out Janis Joplin covers. But before she even got famous, she suffered a collapsed vocal chord in 1977. A doctor suggested she sing softer country and western tunes, but she wasn't into that.
"I found a vocal teacher who taught vocal therapy, and I studied that for the past 20-odd years, on and off," she said in a phone interview.
Her vocals restored, she began writing her own music with keyboardist John Turi as part of the band Blue Angel. While the duo generated a nice New York following, the band's debut album flopped, Lauper declared bankruptcy and the band split. Later, she met manager David Wolff, who would help make her a solo star.
She was already 30 when "She's So Unusual" hit the charts in 1983. But her baby doll voice, orange hair and funky thrift store fashion made her seem younger. Meanwhile, her reconfigured "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" — originally written from a man's viewpoint by Robert Hazard— became a girl power anthem. Others hits from the album included a cover of a Prince song, "When You Were Mine," "Time After Time" (featuring Wolff, who had become Lauper's love interest in the video), "All
Through the Night" and "She Bop."
Long before "Seinfeld" took the taboo out of masturbation in its episode "The Contest," "She Bop" was an ode to self love, though thinly disguised as such.
"I wanted to write a song that adults could listen to one way and children could listen to another," she said. "And to me that's the best part of writing. Even in the blues, it's all written in code. Nothing is overt. I mean, they can be talking about this, but they ain't really talking about that."
After the wild success of "She's So Unusual," Lauper scaled back her ragtag look, stopped promoting wrestlers, and veered toward a softer, adult contemporary sound with the "True Colors" album in 1986. By 1993's "Hat Full of Stars" album, she had started writing about more serious topics like homophobia, racism, spousal abuse and abortion.
"That was like my second coming," she said. "That's when I actually came out and started singing in the rhythm of my own speech."
Later, she would release "At Last," a soft rock/standards cover album, and "Bring Ya To the Brink," a dance record. While those albums showcased her diversity and underrated vocal range, none matched the commercial success of "She's So Unusual," and she faded from the public eye.
But a recent appearance on "Celebrity Apprentice 3" and her star-studded True Colors benefit tours have helped Lauper stage a comeback. "Memphis Blues," which quickly shot to the top of the Billboard blues chart, continues the trend.
Lauper recorded the album at the Electraphonic Studios in Memphis, using 8-track tape and guests artists such as B.B. King, Ann Peebles and Jonny Lang.
"I always knew (Lauper) was a great singer," Lang told the Tribune in May. "But she surprised me big time. She was incredible. She understands the old stuff so well — I wasn't expecting that."
Featuring familiar blues tunes such as "Crossroads," "Down Don't Bother Me" and "Early in the Mornin," Lauper chose uplifting songs she thought would apply to today's bleak economic times. Meanwhile, she wanted to pull away from heavy production, so songs were recorded live in one whole take, without overdubs.
"To make this music come alive, you don't want to study it and beat it to death," she said. "It needs to have a life, and it needs to be magical and feel otherworldly and suck you in. And the only way to do that is to have the moment of discovery on tape. And if you go back and fix this and fix that, all of a sudden it just gets a little too smooth and slick and saccharine-y."
Her live shows, she said, are capturing that, thanks to blues musicians including harmonica legend Charlie Musselwhite, Booker T. and the M.G.'s drummer Steve Potts, and Isaac Hayes guitarist Michael Toles.
Now dug deeply into her comeback, Lauper's roll isn't likely to be short-lived. She is currently composing music for Harvey Firestein's musical "Kinky Boots," she's writing an autobiography, which will be released by Simon & Schuster, and she will soon have her own reality show.
At 57, she apparently has no plans to slow down.
"Joints are jumpin'," she said.

Japan marks 70 years since its World War II surrender
Prime minister notes role in war, but revisionists reject A-bombs' impact
TOKYO - Seventy years after Japan surrendered in the bloodiest war in the world has ever known, Japanese still debate not only its causes, but why it came to an abrupt end days after the United States dropped atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Portrayed in the West as a war caused by a militaristic Japan that was brought to its knees by the dual bombings that killed tens of thousands, World War II is seen in more nuanced terms in Japan.
"The atomic bombing didn't have any effect whatsoever on the decision of ending the war by the emperor," says Hiroyuki Fujita, a Japanese journalist and member of the Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact, a nationalist group. "The emperor had already made up his mind to end the war."
Fujita's views represent a growing trend in Japan toward a revision of generally accepted positions on the war by most historians - a trend that that is constantly criticized by neighboring countries.
Generations of guilt
In his speech commemorating the surrender Friday, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe struck many of those themes, acknowledging Japan's role, but asserting that the guilt should not be passed on without end.
"Japan has repeatedly expressed the feelings of deep remorse and heartfelt apology for its actions during the war," Abe said, recalling what he called "the histories of suffering" of Japan's neighbors.
But he also noted that 80 percent of Japanese today were born after World War II. "We must not let our children, grandchildren, and even further generations to come, who have nothing to do with that war, be predestined to apologize."
For the 20 percent born before the war ended, it's difficult to overstate the change it brought.
When Japan's national radio broadcast a recording of Emperor Hirohito calling for his country to surrender to allied forces, it was the first time most had heard the emperor's voice.
"We have ordered our government to communicate to the governments of the United States, Great Britain, China and the Soviet Union that our empire accepts the provisions of their joint declaration" that called for Japan's unconditional surrender, he said in a tone so soft it seemed out of character for a man who had had been considered a god until that moment.
Despite Fujita's skepticism that the atomic bombs had influenced the emperor, Hirohito made it clear that the threat displayed with the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was driving his decision.
"Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in the ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization," he said.
By the end of the war, most major Japanese cities had been burned to the ground in fire bombings. Hundreds of thousands of civilians had died. The nation was on the brink of starvation. Hirohito called on his people to be prepared for "enduring the unendurable and suffering what is unsufferable" in hopes that peace could return.
Imposed pacifism
The pacifist constitution that the United States imposed on Japan still finds resonance among most Japanese.
"Japan lost the last war, so that meant the end of Japanese militarism. I think that was actually good for Japan." said Masamichi Kira, owner of Nisshoku Garden, a plant nursery that got its start shortly after the war.
Kira remembers the years after the war as difficult - "In terms of food," he recalled, "we didn't have so much." But his family would prosper. Amd Japan grew to become the world's second largest economy, until it was displaced in recent years by China.

As news was confirmed yesterday that Cynthia Nixon was indeed running for Governor of New York, the 51-year-old faced criticism from former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. Quinn – a gay supporter of current New York Governor Andrew Cuomo – spectacularly attacked Nixon for being an "unqualified lesbian".
"Cynthia Nixon was opposed to having a qualified lesbian become mayor of New York City," Quinn told the New York Post referencing how Nixon endorsed her competitor instead of her in 2013 in the race for Democratic primary for mayor. "Now she wants an unqualified lesbian to be the governor of New York. You have to be qualified and have experience. She isn't qualified to be the governor," Quinn said. Her comments sparked outrage online, so much so, Quinn jumped on Twitter to clarify.
"To be clear, Cynthia Nixon's identity has no bearing on her candidacy and it was not my intention to suggest it did," she posted. "I want to be clear about that. I would never, EVER, criticise someone because of their identity. I've experienced it time and time again, and would never support it or condone it. As a lesbian who ran one of the most high-profile races in the country, I know what that's like. And I know it's imperative that we encourage more members of our community to run for office."
"Cynthia Nixon aggressively opposed my candidacy in New York despite my qualifications for the office and despite my strong progressive credentials," she continued. "I was attempting to make a comparison between the two of us. The real point I am trying to make is that qualifications matter and records matter. I do not believe she has the qualifications or the record."
Sex And The City co-star Kristen Davis (who played the blushing Charlotte to Nixon's hard line lawyer Miranda), jumped to her friend's defense. I am so proud of Cynthia Nixon, no one cares more than she does about EVERY person getting a fair change and a good education. I know that she would be an excellent Governor!" Davis posted on Twitter.
Yesterday, Nixon announced candidacy for office via a video on Twitter. She has said she will be focusing in on the State's broken school system and aims to narrow the gap between the extremely wealthy and extremely poor.

An interview by Vinita Kinra
Zeenat Mahal is the author of three romance novellas and a romantic short story. All of her books have been in the Amazon top 10 bestseller lists, with her latest She Loves Me He Loves Me Not opening at number 2. It has remained in the top ten till date, since its release in February this year. Zeenat's books have been reviewed by international review sites like Dear Author, The Lemon Review and SAWWC. Her books have also been featured in international online webzines like Writer'sZine, Readomania, Running Out of Ink, Kitaab, and BraveBird Publishing LLC. Other media coverage includes interviews and reviews with BBC Asia, The Daily Times, Sunday Observer Sri Lanka and several well-known blogs like Pebbles in still Waters, Reader's Muse, Constant Quiller, LitFest, and online book clubs. Sunday Observer Sri Lanka also serialized a novel by Zeenat Mahal, called Mehrunnissa, which is set in colonial India.
Zeenat has an MFA in creative writing from London, and an MPhil in English Literature from Lahore. She lives in Lahore with her husband and three sons. Zeenat is currently working on a new novel.
Vinita Kinra: Welcome to Global Asian Times, Zeenat! Tell us about yourself.
Zeenat Mahal: Thank you for having me, Vinita. I'm from Pakistan, and Zeenat Mahal is my pseudonym. I have always written mainstream fiction, that's why I went to pursue an MFA. However, just as I went for my degree, I got to know of Indireads, a small e-publisher that wanted to promote South Asian romance writing. The idea intrigued me, and I had this epiphany that all those 'other' stories I'd been spinning in my head was romantic fiction, and it was time to test my mettle as a romance writer. The story I sent was titled Haveli, and it became a bestseller when Indireads e-published it in 2012.
Vinita Kinra: In what way does your native city of Lahore influence your writings?
Zeenat Mahal: My consciousness is seeped in Lahore; and though at times I can, and do, silence it, elude it even, it is always there in some subtle way. My ambivalent relationship with Lahore is something I've learnt to live with as a writer. There are parts of Lahore I love, that I'm proud of, that I guard jealously from interpretations and representations because I'm possessive about them, and then there are parts and history of the city that I'm ashamed to claim, but realize that I have to, because it's a writer's burden and I am, first and foremost, a writer.
Vinita Kinra: Tell us about your latest book and your penchant for romance novels.
Zeenat Mahal: I used to read romance to unwind, and when I write romance, I do it for the same reason. It's not all of who I am as a writer or as a reader, but it is a big part of me, and I enjoy romance as a genre.
My latest book She Loves Me He Loves Me Not is a twist on Beauty and The Beast, and it's psychologically deeper than the others I've written. I also write romance novels because there is a stereotype out there that smart women don't write or read romances. I hate labels of any kind and it gets my back up, so I guess I'm here to prove something, too.
Vinita Kinra: What sparked off the idea for your book?
Zeenat Mahal: I wanted to re-imagine fairytales in the South Asian context. I thought of beauty and the beast first because we are so enamored with physical beauty. I had always been curious about what Beast felt and how we, as readers, never really think about that because we are only concerned about Beauty's ordeal. And I thought that there must be something bestial in beauty to recognize something to love in beast.
Vinita Kinra: Of all the books you've written so far, which is your personal favourite and why?
Zeenat Mahal: I can't really say which one, but I do like the enhanced anniversary editions of Haveli and The Contract that my publisher is re-launching on Eid this year. They are enhanced versions of the first editions, with more detail and more of everything that my readers liked about them.
Vinita Kinra: Do you portray the conflicts between the romantic culture of your native Pakistan and UK?
Zeenat Mahal: So far all of my books are set in Pakistan, but because my heroines are not passive weaklings, I guess expat South Asians find a lot to relate with there, since the cultural schizophrenia is very much in play.
Vinita Kinra: Did you have a support group like family, friends or colleagues who believed in your passion for romantic fiction?
Zeenat Mahal: I am very lucky to have fellow romance writers and my many fabulous readers who love my work and cheer me on. They are the best support group a gal could ask for.
Vinita Kinra: If you were asked to give just one golden tip to aspiring writers, what would that be?
Zeenat Mahal: Write the first draft knowing that it is only that: a first draft. Then read what you've written top to bottom, adding details, colour, taste, sound, as you read it. Start again the next day, top to bottom. Stop wherever you feel the scene needs fleshing out, dialogue can be added for depth, humour and insight.
Vinita Kinra: Help us explore your world of romance with a brief excerpt from your latest book.
Zeenat Mahal: The clear February sky was crowded with kites, and the rooftops with enthusiastic boys and girls. Most of them were attired in yellow, and had to shout to be heard over the blaring music. Zoella, however, registered all of that as a faraway din.
She barely noticed the colorful kites and everyone else, focusing only on the delicious-looking Fardeen. The music, shouting and laughter did not distract her from her goal one bit. Her concentration did not waver. Her eyes were firmly fixed on Fardeen.
With bated breath, she waited for the miraculous moment when angels would trumpet their silver bugles, flowers would bloom in deserts and Fardeen Malik's eyes would finally meet hers. The realization that the love of his life, Zoella Khan, though unsophisticated and sans riches, had been right under his nose all this time would hit him like a bolt of lightning. Overcome with passion, he'd fall to his knees and declare, enraptured…

text: Hot Cheetos no more: Students have several healthy options around the Tempe campus More healthy food options are appearing on and near ASU Share Tweet Email Print Fruits and veggies – some college students love them and find ways to snack on them throughout the day, while others resort to grabbing a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos from one of the ASU POD markets. Students who are pressed for time might excuse their unhealthy eating, but there are actually several convenient healthy options on or around ASU's Tempe campus. Research published in 2011 from Oregon State University found that college students were, on average, eating four to five servings of fruits and vegetables a week. The federal government recommends two and a half cups of vegetables and two cups of fruit daily. College students have the option to increase their intake of fruits and vegetables with a growing number of healthy restaurants opening up in Tempe. Original ChopShop located on University Drive is a fast, casual dining experience created for people who want a healthy bite to eat. Miguel Flores, the general manager at the restaurant's Tempe location, believes that healthy food should always be near college campuses in order to ensure students' happiness and healthiness. "Our goal is to bring smiles along with healthy, clean food to everybody," Flores said. "I feel like healthy eatery is on a trend that is not going to go away anytime soon. More places like ChopShop are going to be opening up around campus, which is important to make sure students are hopping on the healthy food train." Healthy food options are also available directly on campus through Devils' Greens, located in the MU, and with Freshii, in the W.P. Carey School of Business. Jackie Estrada, supervisor at the Freshii on campus, said she believes it is important to for students to have healthy food options among all unhealthy options around campus. Freshii mixes things up with a different daily special Monday through Friday. "There aren't a lot of places to go to for a healthy lunch or dinner, and sometimes students come here and they tell us how tired they are of fast food," Estrada said. The Bodhi is a relatively new, health-focused restaurant that opened on College Avenue. Their motto is: "The strength of your health lies within the power of your own hands." Sasha Bayat, one of the owners and the nutritionist at The Bodhi, is a nutrition senior at ASU. She carefully reviewed every ingredient on the menu in order to pick food items that best support the functions of the human body, considering potential dietary restrictions. In a month or so, The Bodhi will be offering nutrition consulting and giving out meal plans for those who are interested in creating healthy diets for themselves. "We really want to be able to provide healthy food for the students, and especially at ASU, there are so many different types of students," Bayat said. "We will have wrestlers come in and say they need to feel energized for their workout but they need to cut weight, so we can create a bowl for them." Bayat said that some students are living on their own for the first time and some of these students don't know how to cook for themselves. Some have different dietary restrictions to consider. The Bodhi can cater to these needs, she said. The price of healthy foods can discourage students from improving their diets. Bayat believes that keeping the prices for meals low is important in order for students to eat healthy. She said her restaurant's goal is to promote health through education and affordability. "Our ultimate objective is to create a paradigm shift within health," Bayat said. Reach the reporter at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow @jessiemy94 on Twitter.

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, only opened its borders to tourism a few years ago. I desperately wanted to visit this remote land before hordes of middle aged white dudes in safari hats and cargo shorts stormed the country, so in January of 2015, I arrived in the capital, Yangon. I was either going to spend two days in Yangon OR I was going to spend one day in Yangon and have a day trip to the Golden Rock Pagoda, also called Kyaiktiyo Pagoda before heading to Bagan.
Now, this rock is fucking famous. It's a big ass motherfucking gold boulder that appears to defy gravity off the edge of a cliff (and legend has it, is also perched on a strand of Buddha's hair). It's a sacred site, and one that travel guides say you "can't miss."
So why was I pish-posh about visiting it?
Because it's a fucking rock.
My research told me it was an important cultural site, but my gut was like, "if I'm having a good time in Yangon and I meet great people, why break that flow to schlep over to something I'm not super passionate about?" So, I decided that if an opportunity to go to the Golden Rock presented itself/fell my lap I would go.
That opportunity did present itself when my taxi driver offered to take me the next morning for USD100. He would drive me the 3 ½ hours, wait for me for 6 hours, and then drive me 3 ½ hours back. Most drivers charge $120-150, so I considered this a good deal. Okay, fuck it, I'm going to the Golden Rock.
The next day he picked me up before sunrise. The drive itself through rural Myanmar was stunning. Honestly, I would have paid $100 just to admire the silhouettes of monks walking, backlit by the sun just starting to peek through.
Nearly four hours later, my driver left me off at the bottom of the mountain, and I had to take a RICKETY ASS RIDE on a JANKY ASS TRUCK for a damn HOUR to reach a fucking ROCK.
As I was sitting on the luxurious wooden planks of the truck, an Indonesian woman named Riska chatted me up.
Now, if you've never met an Indonesian, let me tell you this: they are so. fucking. nice. They are smiley and chatty and generous and 50 shades of lovely. So I knew at this moment that even though I just threw down $100 to visit a fucking rock, I was going to have a great time with Riska.
And then guess what the fuck happened? Riska turned around and there were THREE MORE INDONESIANS sitting behind us! Christmas on Christmas on Christmas!
That hour long ride felt like five minutes. Riska, Gerald, Pedro, and Hanna had me stitches the whole trek up. When we got to the top, we took pictures by the Golden Rock (yup, guys, still just a fucking rock) and Riska, Hanna and I bemoaned the fact that because we are women and our vaginas are so dangerous, we weren't allowed to approach the rock like the big, strong, superior men were.
I spent the afternoon with my new Indonesian friends, exploring, taking pictures, meeting locals, and smiling constantly.
A few days later, after I had moved on to Bagan, I learned that Gerald, Pedro and Hanna were also in town. We were staying at different accommodations, but we linked up, rented bikes and spent the day exploring the pagodas together. My favorite moment was when Hanna turned to me and said, "local food?" So often I meet travelers who have an aversion to local food. They want the comfortable restaurant with English menus in an air conditioned setting. My Indonesian friends wanted to go off the beaten path, sit with locals on teeny tiny chairs (whyyyyy are all the chairs so teeny in Myanmar?), and have a fucking experience. That was the best meal of my trip.
So am I glad I went to The Golden Rock? Fuck yes I am.
Final note* I gave the Golden Rock some shit in this post, partially for comedic effect. Although I am not religious (and therefore a rock is a rock is a rock to me) I still respect the value of this site to Burmese Buddhists. If you are short on time, I would recommend skipping it. But if you have the cash, a free day in your itinerary, and you appreciate people watching, it can be a lovely place to see.
