My husband has a business trip soon to Ogunquit. I have been given the job of looking into Ogunquit Maine hotels for him to find out which one he should be staying in. His company give each person a certain budget per day and then it is up to them how much they spend on meals and a room and they can keep whatever is left. We really need some extra money at the moment so I am looking at all of the Ogunquit hotels which are on the cheaper end of the market.

I have also decided to look at places to eat so that I can draw him up a list of healthy but cheap places that he can go. He is keen to save money too but I know that once he is there, he will not have the time to think about prices when he is selecting places to eat, so if we look at it together beforehand then he will not have to worry about it once he is there. I therefore have a list of 10 budget Ogunquit motels and hotels and a list of places for lunches and evening meals and we will sit down together and decide which he will use while he is there. Hopefully we can save a big chunk of money and keep it in our savings account for times when we are struggling with money.

In the world’s largest aquarium, where most inhabitants settle for swimming, Nandi soars gracefully through her new home on majestic 9-foot wings.

The latest marquee attraction at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, the young female manta ray made her public debut Monday. And in a 6.3-million-gallon tank full of gentle giants, she’s already a crowd favorite.

The Indian Ocean native was discovered caught in nets meant to protect beachgoers from sharks in Durban, South Africa. Nursed back to health at uShaka Marine World, the largest marine park in Africa, Nandi was flown this month to her new home at the Ocean Voyager exhibit.

The Ocean Voyager tank was originally built to house whale sharks, the world’s largest fish species. Aquarium officials say her new home should give Nandi plenty of room to grow — the wingspan of an adult manta ray can grow to 20 feet or more.

It’s those wings that give manta rays such grace in the water. The fish, the largest of all ray species, propel their sleek bodies through the ocean with strokes of their enormous wings.

Though they look formidable, manta rays are relatively harmless. They have no real teeth and consume food — normally plankton, small shrimp-like creates called krill, or small fish — by filtering it through their mouths.

Unlike some other ray species, like the stingray that killed animal adventurer Steve Irwin, manta rays don’t have defensive barbs or spines.

The Georgia Aquarium is now just one of four facilities worldwide with a manta ray on display, and the only one in the United States. And lucky for visitors, Nandi is something of a show-off.

“There’s no doubt that she doesn’t mind the human contact,” says aquarium veterinarian Tonya Clauss, who traveled to South Africa and monitored Nandi during the ray’s long flight to Atlanta aboard a 747 cargo jet. “I would say she’s a bit of a princess and a camera hog.”

Nandi is named after the mother of legendary African Zulu King Shaka. Shaka’s mother was said to be one of the few who could soothe the king’s notorious fits of rage. “When you look at her for a while and watch her swim, she’s just a very elegant creature,” says Clauss.

Nandi was a very popular attraction at uSkaka Marine World, and Georgia Aquarium CEO Mike Leven says millions more will be able to see the rare fish up close.

“The addition of Nandi … gives us the opportunity to elevate her as an ambassador for her species,” Leven says.

Already 245 pounds and 8 feet across when first rescued, Nandi soon outgrew her 580,000-gallon tank at uSkaka. Clauss says the marine animal community is a close-knit group who together decided Nandi would be better suited for the massive Ocean Voyager exhibit in Atlanta.

By the time she moved, Nandi weighed about 450 pounds and sported a 9-foot wingspan.

Now, even though she shares the tank with four massive whale sharks and hundreds of other fish, she can disappear for several minutes as she makes slow circuits of the tank’s perimeter, so there’s plenty of room to grow.

It is because of their groundbreaking work with whale sharks that the Georgia Aquarium team earned the confidence of uShaka’s executive

The commenters above are talking about American TV shows that are broadcast in Switzerland but translated into local languages.

If you are interested in American TV shows that are not translated and you get normal Swiss Cable TV (cable com) some English channels are broadcast with the normal package and there are several American TV shows there, in English and not delayed. For example:

Several American Programs appeared regularly on ITV, for example, american Idol…was delayed a couple of days. I think it would play on Wednesday in the US and Friday in Switzerland.

Heros, Jay Leno, etc.

There is also CNN, CNBC, Fashion TV, etc.

You can see a complete list of the English language programs available on the basic package below.

The more successfull ones are all broadcastet over here. But they normally are delayed some month because of the synchronizing.
e.g.
- Prison break
- Moonlight
- CSI Miami, NY, LV, etc.
- Weeds
- Sopranos
- Desperate Houswifes

I am an Indian national and would soon be relocating to Khobar. Please clarify whether I have to apply for exit/re-entry visa each time I would like to travel to Bahrain at week ends? If so, how much time does it take to get exit/re-entry visa and what’s the procedure like? Whether employers entertain such frequent request for exit/re-entry visas?

depending on the mood of the application visa officer.. he can give you anywhere from 1 day to 1 year exti/reentry visa…
average is around 6 months for most.. and this allows you to come and go to Bahrain anytime you want within those 6 months..
usually takes about 1 to 3 days to get the visa (also depends on the mood and speed in which the visa officer is willing to process it).. and as for your employer? who knows.. its up to them.. I have encountered a sort of Taxi driver indian national that hires himself out to taxi western ladies to and from Aramco to Bahrain.. (he charges a lot obviously) but cheaper than regular taxi services.. he has to have an exit/reentry visa to manage this…I suppose his sponsor allows it..

What kind of weather should I be expecting when I go camping up north on the border of canada and usa? And what kinds of clothes should I bring?

That depends. Where are you going in Canada, and when will you be going?

If you are coming up in the next few weeks and will be camping in areas around Ontario or Quebec, you will find an abundance of black flies and mosquitoes this year that are making it less enjoyable to be “one with nature”.

Personally, I would consider a fall camping/hiking trip. You can come to many of Canada’s national parks and they have designated areas for camping, canoe camping, or you can even rent basic cabins equipped with stove, cots, and (sometimes) toilets.

Camping overnight in a tent in September, you would get to see the changing colours on the trees, experience warm days and cold nights. Using a three-season tent and a warm sleeping bag, and layering your clothing should be enough, depending on if you are from Florida or some other place where you are used to hot days and slightly cool nights.

I guess it depends on how far north you are going camping. Contrary to misinformation, Canada is not a land of igloos and blizzards all year long. Believe it or not, Pelee Island in Ontario is at the same latitude as Northern California (1)

You can check out http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca and look through that website to find out more about the weather forecast for the area you’re going to. Alternative, look through http://www.canadianweather.org/

What kinds of clothes? Hiking boots, to be sure; bugshirts, definitely; light jacket or windbreaker for cooler days, t-shirts for hotter days. Oh, and bring sunscreen, too!

The word tsigkino comes from tsingos which is zinc and is alteration of the word zincum.
It had been used for many years back to describe the house-ware that was made from zinc. There were the tsigkina cups which you can still find in shops. They gave an extra cool feeling to drinking water with them.
The modern expression is “tsigkina swbrakakia” used to describe what a man should wear once he entered the prison environment for obvious reasons. But also the prude lady is described as using them to safe-guard her virginity.

———-

yes l did, usually because of the material that tsigos is produced of, it’s made out of zinc (italian zinco) - ???????????- pseudargyros.
I have never heard of the “tsigkino esswrouxo” though but it’s good to learn something new

1. SHANGHAI
2. i think it’s New York.
3. Mumbai
4. Mumbai
5. Out of the city you have mentioned Tokyo is more populated. London is better to live.
6. New York - 8,250,567

   Tokyo - Yokohama - 35,000,000

   London - 7,500,000

   Mumbai - 13,000,000

   New York or London would be the best to live in. They speak English there. (Well, at least in London.)

7. Even though by next year more than half of the world population will be … it said adding Mumbai is the most densely populated city in the world with 29650 …
8. Mumbai of course.
9. Its 1 and only
   Mumbai.

1. It may sound cheesy but I went up to the Gold Coast and went on this boat ride called the “Scream Machine” and sat right at the front and it was truly so scary I thought I was going to die.

   The boat literally surfs waves, and when you’re at the front you lift right out of the water and slam back down - we weren’t strapped in and I was sure I was going to fall out or we were going to flip or something.

2. Canyoning in the Blue Mountains is awesome fun Grant.

   Or head to Thredbo during the summer and do some downhill mountain biking. Yeah man, can you handle it????

3. Hi Grant
   I tried white water rafting for the first time in Cairns, Qld and it was the best time I’ve ever had.
   I’d also like to try hanggliding at Stanwell Tops, NSW.
4. How about staying home with your girlfriend and relax with her and both your families for a couple of weeks and then go on an adrenaline rush together. After all the excitement, both of you can wind down together. But being together is an adrenaline rush anyway.
5. Thrill… Go four wheel driving at Mt Cole with my two sons… That will put you to the test…Or you could be game enough to go motor bike riding with them……
6. aw jeez u guys are all just jealous! Grant u are a true sweetie and id recommend going to Airlie Beach. I spent 12 months up there and its heaven on a stick.
7. Hi Grant,

   Ignore the haters! I personally love sharing my holiday experiences of our great country to enable others to get out there & have a good look around!

   The biggest adrenaline rush holiday I have had was to The Horizontal Water Falls in Northwest Western Australia. I flew by seaplane from Broome to Talbot Bay where we were offloaded to a mother ship, then onto jet boats to explore the Falls. For those who are unaware the Horizontal Falls are caused by the volume of water rushing out at the turn of the tide through a small space between two pieces of land. Due to the height produced by the force of the water it appears to drop thereby giving the impression of a water fall.

   At this particular place there are huge whirlpools and danger is imminent as you are in crocodile & shark infested waters! I actually was lucky enough to join a private catamaran here & explore the coast between Talbot Bay & Broome over a ten day period. This part of the coastline is unaccessable by road.

   It was the best experience I’ve had travelling around this awesome country we call home - I say “we are so lucky to have such a beautiful backyard, why go overseas?”

8. Margret river in WA has lot of treacherous surf, It’s good place for surfers of any skill level.
9. Have you tried the theme parks on the Gold Coast. There is also The Big Pineapple on the Sunshine Coast. Also there is the Whitsunday Islands just north of Mackay in North Queensland. I hope this will help you with your Australian holiday.
10. Do a trip around on a motorbike anywhere in Oz. I recommend coastal roads to start for some good hair raising experiences not to mention superb views. From Sydney head South through the National Park and keep going through some awesome riding through Stanwell park and over Seacliff bridge. Go through Gerringong to Nowra. Ride down to the B23 at Cann River and follow up to Cooma. Head out to Kiandra and take the road across the mountains to Khancoban. Head off to Bright. Then head towards the Great Ocean Road etc etc etc. This gets you to multiple destinations and you get the thrill on the way.
11. A J Hackett bunjee jumping at Kuranda just out of Cairns. Once that elastic snaps back and you realise you’re not going to die it is the biggest rush ever
12. For a once in a life-time experience, where your heart literally ends up in your mouth, head for Tasmania and bungee jump and abseil off the Gordon-Franklin Dam Wall.

    It is a distance of approx 140metres!

    Then there is always Cradle Mountain, jet boating, etc, etc.

    No rest for the wicked!

13. Grant i would have to recommend the driver training and V8 racing at Mallala raceway in South Australia
14. Just go swimming to Byron Bay, in the Central Coast of NSW. You are going to be chased by sharks of all types. Full adrenaline mate. Good luck!
15. Try driving through the brisbane trafic everyday.
    On the roads these days is like going to dreamworld but without the fun.
16. i hear king cross is full of thrills and if you want an adrenaline rush go to victoria and just glance at a police officer sideways…the consequences are sure to get your heart pumping…only hope it continues.
    best wishes.
17. It has to be Stand up padlesurfing in Byron Bay. Just think of the Adrenalin rush when you are getting circled by sharks. Happens at least once a month.
18. I too love an adrenaline rush

    Personally though, a great holiday destination for thrill seekers would be the Dancing with the Stars studio
    but if you don’t have much time, it’s hard to go past the Sunrise set
    trying to mingle with the crowds for the longest possible time withour being recognised is quite a heart-starter

19. Anywhere but the Lower Murray-
    Im sick of all the speedboats ruining my weekends
    How would u people feel if I came and spent my weekends and holidays making a huge noise in your backyard and leaving it covered in litter and mess?
20. I’d watch out for the Boxing Day sale at Myers in Melbourne. Egad you can lose a limb in the twinkling of an eye.
21. Hi! This is awesome, you’re famous, hey! Cool.
    Well I’m from South Australia, in the country, I love it, but I went to Canberra on a school trip not long ago, and for a short but sweet adrenaline rush, go to Questacon!!
    It is the best! Like 4 levels of fun science games, and you learn great things along the way. That or going crazy places on 4 wheelers! Maybe you should go to the Riverland next year, they have like drag races every year, you should feature in one of them! We don’t get alot of excitement these days.
    Love your work Grant!
    Have fun!!
22. Arrnhem Land,,dont know if we’ll see you again bro,,thats the thrill of it ay,……… ???
23. Hi Grant, Hmmm, serious Question? maybe, maybe not but tell me, if you choose the best answer does that person get to come with you for the adrenalin rush? if not then try my back yard cause its a real rush everytime I go out there..never know if I am gong to make it back from the jungle!
24. Nude Olympic will be such a thrill for you… I know you like dare!!! Go for it, Grant…
25. Hi Grant,

    There is always heaps of places to go to around Australia, Check out each state, and see what they can offer.

    Parachute jumping , Rally Driving - Skydiving , Abseiling ,
    SWimming with Sharks etc.

    Check the different theme park added attractions , well worth the extra money .

    There is so much in Australia , I dont know why people pay big money to go around the world to do things , when they can do it all here in Australia for alot cheaper.

26. Just go North and see where you end up, it’s all an adventure up there
27. Well… Sidney, Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle and Temora. Actually, I do not know any of these cities, but say they are the most beautiful and rich landscapes in cities in Australia. Perhaps, someday, when I have a lot of money, I go to some these places.
28. go swimming with the crocodiles nah go jumping off skyscrapers or something
