Would you rather FLY, SAIL or DRIVE?

canaussie @canaussie (221) • Australia 2 Oct 10

I take flying anytime. I'm quite impatient and as much as possible I want to get to my destination as fast as I could so I can do my business right away. I've sailed and traveled on ship and bored the heckle and jeckle out of me!...

canaussie Of course driving gives us the chance to see and discover beautiful places that flying or traveling by sea don't allow. If it is just a couple of hours drive, I don't mind more than that it is agony for me.

Do you spend much on cosmetics and beauty products?

canaussie @canaussie (221) • Australia 2 Oct 10

If you're like me, I can't be bothered putting much stuff on my face and body, except for basic moisturizer and body lotion. Unless I'm going out to a party or hot date with my hubby, I just do my simple routine. I had a phase in...

When RECYCLING is a faux pas!!

canaussie @canaussie (221) • Australia 30 Sep 10

Recycle, recycle, recycle! We find this everywhere and most people have adapted the concept, that it's good for the environment and in the sure way we can help to preserve our planet. However, China has done this to the extreme! A...

canaussie yeah, they could have put the rubbish inside the steel if the purpose is to hide them, but if they were trying to save materials (concrete), I think they made a big boo boo on that one!
