When travelling do you take your passport with you wherever you go?

hunieby @hunieby (207) • Philippines 16 Nov 09

I used to put my passport inside my bag all the time but after travelling for awhile I sometimes just leave it inside the hotel room. How about you?

dld999 In foreign countries I keep my passport with me. Sometimes the hotel wants to keep it but I make sure to hold onto it. Get a passport pouch that can hold some money and credit cards that you can keep around your neck but under your clothes where you can't be...

Do You Think Books Will Become A Part Of The Past?

missliss08 @missliss08 (766) • United States 12 Nov 09

I do, with all the new technology being put into ebooks, and electronic readers. I think books will become a thing of the past, rather quickly actually. I know I have personally looked at them. I am not ready to buy one yet, but...

dld999 I guess that I look at your question a bit differently from some of the others who responded. When you talk about books as an information resource, then yes, I think that printed information-oriented books will begin to go away. In the case of text books, the...

dld999 @dld999 (118) • United States 11 Oct 09

I can not believe that there are no discussions for Totoro! (maybe there's some under My Neighbor Totoro but I'm too lazy to look...) This is perhaps the BEST animated movie ever! Including all of what Pixar has done - and that is...

Would you like to visit a beach, a moutain or a city?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 9 Oct 09

dld999 I think the problem with the music that kids listen to is the music itself. Too much bass beats. Too much bad language and images in the lyrics. It forces the mind to respond in a certain way that isn't always good. I like to listen to music to put me in...

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 25 Sep 09

Which type of kiwi fruit do you prefer, green or gold? I prefer the gold because I like the taste better and also because they have a lot less fuzz(hair) than the green ones do. Unfortunately, the gold kiwi are almost never...
