The magnificent mountain of Ben Lomond with its imposing and precipitous cliffs is visible over much of the northern midlands of Tasmania. The plateau is roughly 14 kilometres in length, 6 kilometres wide and is in excess of 1300 metres in height. A summit on the plateau named Legges Tor is the second highest point in Tasmania (1572 metres).
Ben Lomond is the main focus of downhill skiing in Tasmania. The skifield on Ben Lomond is Tasmania's only downhill skiing area which offers some of the facilities expected of a contemporary skifield. For the latest snow reports during the ski season.
The Ben Lomond National Park is invaluable for the conservation of the flora communities and species diversity of Tasmania's alpine areas. The area consists of an outstanding variety of glacial and periglacial features which are considered of national significance.
Located 50km south-east of Launceston, Ben Lomond National Park is reached by back roads via White Hills or Evandale onto the Blessington Road (C401). About 3.5 km before Upper Blessington, turn right onto the Ben Lomond Road, the only road within the park. This road is unsealed, and between June and Septmber, the upper section of this road is subject to ice and snow. The park boundary is 8 kilometres from the turnoff and the alpine village is 18 kilometres. Along this road you will reach a camping area to the left, marked by a sign, and shortly after you will reach a Y-intersection. One kilometre to the right is Carr Villa, from where there are walking tracks which lead to the summit and the Ski Village (both 1.5 km).
To the left, the final acent to the alpine village is via the steep and winding "Jacobs Ladder". Jacobs Ladder has recently been extensively upgraded to increase safety. Motorists are asked to observe the 30 kilometre per hour speed limit on this section of road. Vehicles travelling up the road should give way to oncoming traffic.
In conditions of snow and ice, the road may be closed without notice at the barrier 4.5 kilometres from the alpine village. Wheel chains must be carried between June and September - they are not available on the mountain, but can be rented or purchased from outlets in major centres. Antifreeze is needed to ensure your motor is not damaged. During the ski season, a shuttle bus operates from below Jacobs Ladders. Travel times are 1 hour from Launceston, 2.5 hours from Burnie and 3 to 3.5 hours from Hobart. No petrol is available on the mountain.
CampingThere is a small camping area one kilometre inside the park boundary and several kilometres below the summit. There are 6 un-powered sites that are suitable for tents or campervans, flush toilet, drinking water and a lookout. A shelter shed provides relief from rain.
There are no other camping facilities in the national park. Remote bush camping is permitted anywhere in the park but not within 500 metres of any road. Fuel stoves should be used by campers.
Alpine VillageThe Alpine Village is located at the foot of the ski slopes, about 4.5 kilometres from the top of Jacobs ladder. There is a car park and public toilet facilities at the village and a public day shelter on the ski fields. This shelter has heating but there are no cooking facilities. There are a number of other facilities at the Alpine Village, as outlined below.
There are 6 ski lifts on the down hill slopes - 3 T-Bars and 3 Poma lifts. There is ski, snowboard and toboggan hire, as well as instruction and sales and a kiosk at the alpine village. These facilities only operate in the snow season.
First aid and locker storage facilities are available in the village. First aid is administered from the Ski Patrol Building at the base of the summit ski run.
AccommodationThe Creek Inn on Ben Lomond operates a licensed restaurant and 6 accommodation units (one suitable for disabled). These are generally heavily booked when there are suitable weekend skiing conditions. Bookings for other tourist accommodation can also be made through the Creek Inn - for bookings please telephone 6390 6199. The Inn is open 365 days a year.
There are several lodges in the alpine village area and these are owned either privately or by alpine clubs. Usage is generally restricted to members and their guests.
SkiingThe ski season generally starts early July and closes late September. However, the extent of the season is variable. Snow falls on average one day in four during July and August.
While part of the national park, the ski fields are managed by a separate management authority. For further information contact the Ben Lomond Skifield Management Authority:
Day Walks Important! Before planning any walks, check the weather.
A good map is essential
While skiing is the activity that attracts most visitors to this national park, there are a variety of other activities that can be enjoyed.
Being able to drive to the plateau, visitors can readily enjoy striking mountain top features such as dolerite columns and scree slopes. The vegetation of Ben Lomond is different to other parts of Tasmania and, in the summer months, the alpine wildflowers are a delight.
There are two cross country ski routes which are also used as walking routes. They are not formed trails but are marked by snow poles:
Carr Villa to Alpine VillageThis walk takes approximately 1.5 hours one way with steep gradients up the side of the plateau. The route takes you up onto the plateau and then along the plateau to the highest point.
Alpine Village to Little HellThis walk takes about 1.5 hours return. From the top of Little Hell there are views across the southern part of the plateau to Stacks Bluff.
SafetyThe weather can change readily at any time of the year and low cloud can make it impossible to see more than an arms-length ahead. Be prepared. Always carry a water and windproof coat. If venturing off-track, a map, compass and navigation skills are essential.
All walkers and cross-country skiers should register details of their trip at the alpine village, where there is a self-registration booth. Make sure to de-register on your return.
Ben Lomond National Park is dominated by an alpine plateau over 1500 metres high and surrounded on all sides by precipitous escarpments. The basement rocks comprise slates, siltstones, greywackes and quartzite. These were intruded by granite and, later, by dolerite during the Jurassic Period. Dolerite predominates on the plateau. The only exception is a highly localised area under Coalmine Crag and around the flanks of the Ben Lomond Plateau. This exposure includes a narrow coal sequence, which was once worked commercially.
During the Pleistocene Ice Age, a small ice-cap existed on Ben Lomond, which was the only plateau in the north-east to be glaciated. The effects of these glaciers account for much of the contrast between the alpine scenery of Ben Lomond and that of the other mountains in the north-east. The most notable relict periglacial depositional features are the blockfields, which cover over a quarter of the Ben Lomond plateau.
Much of the plateau is devoid of soils. Organic soils (peats), including deep peats, are most extensively developed on the western side of Rodway Valley. Mineral soils are also found, particularly in the better drained sites.
VegetationBen Lomond National Park protects a representative cross-section of Tasmania's north-east alpine plant communities. Although much of the plateau is stony with areas of low and often stunted forms of vegetation, the remainder of the mountain contains a wide variety of habitats ranging from alpine moorland to dense forest.
A total of 222 plant species have been recorded on the Ben Lomond plateau, represented by 152 dicotyledons, 62 monocotyledons, 1 gymnosperm and 7 fern and fern ally families. The five most common families (Asteraceae, Poaceae, Epacridaceae, Cyperaceae and Proteaceae) account for about half the total number of species recorded. Most families, however, are only represented by one or two species. Some introduced plants have naturalised on the plateau from introduced grasses, clovers and straw used to stabilise soil and revegetate areas affected by slope grooming, road works and other site disturbances.
The most common native species recorded on the plateau are the herbs Poa gunnii (tussock grass) and Gentianella diemensis, the shrubs, Richea scoparia, Orites acicularis and Pentachondra pumila, Baeckea gunniana and Epacris serpyllifolia.
Cushion plants are abundant throughout the plateau. One species, the rock cushion plant Chionohebe ciliolata, is known only from a small localised area within the Park.
Other rare and threatened species include the rare endemic Oreomyrrhis sessiliflora, and the endangered Colobanthus curtisiae.
Below the escarpment edge, the shrubs Tasmannia lanceolata (mountain pepper) Westringia rubiaefolia, and Orites revolutaare abundant and also occur in the higher forests. A narrow band of Eucalyptus archeri forms the upper limit of tree growth at altitudes varying from 1175 to 1300m. Just below, nearly pure stands of E. delegatensis (gummed-topped stringy bark) occur. Below these, extensive E. amygdalina (black peppermint) forests occur.
FaunaBecause of the decreasing area of natural habitat available in north-eastern Tasmania, the national park plays an invaluable role in regional wildlife conservation.
Of the larger mammals, Bennett's wallabies and wombats are common, and are regularly seen in the ski village during summer and winter, even under blizzard conditions. Pademelons are abundant in the wet gullies and areas with thick undergrowth. Forester kangaroos have been recorded along the south-west edge of the park.
Eastern quolls inhabit the ski village during winter, and are sometimes sighted during daylight hours. Dusky antechinus occasionally visit lodges. The echidna has been recorded and the platypus has been sighted in the Upper Ford River
Various other species, including the long-nosed potoroo, Tasmanian bettong, brushtail possum, ringtail possum , sugar glider, native rodents such as the velvet-furred rat and the long-tailed mouse, and six species of bat have all been recorded in the park.
Among the birds, no systematic study has been made. Wedge-tailed eagles are regularly reported, as is the noisy yellow-tailed black cockatoo. Among the endemic species recorded are the green rosella, scrubtit, brown thornbill, yellow wattlebird, yellow-throated honeyeater, black-headed honeyeater, strong-billed honeyeater and the black currawong.
Little is known of the reptiles from Ben Lomond. Of particular interest is the endemic northern snow skink Niveoscincus greeni which is an alpine species restricted to several other mountain top areas in the State.
Amphibians recorded from Ben Lomond include the brown tree frog, common eastern froglet and the endemic Tasmanian froglet.
In 1988, research by the Inland Fisheries Commission found no fish in Lake Youl or Lake Baker. Trout are likely in streams below the plateau.
There has been some study of the limited range of invertebrate animals in the Park. An undescribed stone fly Austropentura sp. occurs in the park and is restricted to the highland regions of north-east Tasmania. Another undescribed stone fly Cardioperla n. sp. is considered rare.
Aboriginal HistoryThe Ben Lomond National Park lies within the territory of the Ben Lomond tribe, which occupied some 260 square kilometres of terrain around Ben Lomond. It is estimated that the Ben Lomond tribe comprised some three of four bands with an estimated total population of between 150 to 200 people.
A notable member of the Ben Lomond tribe was Walter George Arthur, son of Rolepa, a leading man of the tribe. Walter Arthur was an activist for the rights of Aboriginal people at Wybalenna on Flinders Island. At one time, with seven others, he petitioned Queen Victoria noting that they were free people who had defended themselves before giving up their country and making an agreement with Governor Arthur.
European Exploration, Recreation and Skifield DevelopmentBen Lomond was named after the Scottish mountain of the same name by Colonel Patterson, the founder, in 1804, of the first settlement in northern Tasmania. Although a fair amount of rural development took place in the surrounding country side, the mountain itself remained comparatively unknown till the summer of 1805-6, when Colonel Legge explored the plateau five times, and assessed the heights of the principal crags. He regarded the Ben Lomond Plateau as "the most remarkable physiographical feature in the State", and accordingly bestowed historically significant names for many of the features of the plateau - names which mainly relate to the exploration of the Nile River in Africa, governors, officials and surveyors in Tasmania, and the Colonel's fellow explorers in the survey.
After its formation in 1929, the Northern Tasmanian Alpine Club pioneered trips to the mountain. Club members began improving a track, formerly used by landowners, trappers and others, which ran from the Upper Blessington road through Satan's Gully to Carr Villa.
In the autumn of 1932, a chalet was built at Carr Villa, and in the following summer members began construction of a road from Upper Blessington to Carr Villa, which was finally completed in 1953.
In 1950 a Parlimentary Standing Committee recommended that Ben Lomond should be developed as a ski resort. In 1955 the Australian National Championships were held on the mountain and Ben Bullen, the last of the lodges in the summit area was built to accommodate competitors. In 1963 the road was extended to the top of the plateau via the steep "Jacobs Ladder".
There have been considerable subsequent developments in the park. New ski lifts, visitor facilities including a public shelter, a licenced inn and accommodation, sewerage system, road and access improvements. and other developments have been undertaken. The Ben Lomond Skifield Management Authority was established in 1995 to manage the Skifield Development Area.

As of the end of June, Calgary has seen 144.6 mm of rainfall. While the rain seemed to put a damper of summer activities in the city in June, the number was far behind the record of 247.6 mm set in 2005, a record that had been held since 224 mm fell in that same timeframe in 1902. For gardeners in the city, rain is part of the sustenance that helps their gardens grow, and even if you aren't a green thumb, having a rain barrel handy can help save on the water bill while maintaining a green lawn. The City has several opportunities to pick up rain barrels throughout the summer but, if you're in need of a do-it-yourself activity, you could always build your own.
What you'll need:
• 50 gallon, plastic barrel or other watertight container
• Silicone
• One-inch washer
• Three-quarter inch (female) coupling
• Three-quarter inch hose bib
• Faucet (male)
• 5/16 spade bit
• Electric drill
• Jigsaw or keyhole saw
• Safety glasses
• 2.25-inch hole saw
• 1.25-inch elbow
• Sump pump kit
• 1.25 inch barbed tube with male end
• 1.25 inch clamp
1. Firstly you'll need a watertight container for your rain barrel. This doesn't necessarily mean you need an actual barrel, as many plastic trashcans will also do the trick. Containers can be found at your local home improvement store or, in most cases, for half price or less online on sites like Kijiji or Craigslist.
2. Put on your safety glasses and measure a spot about 20 cm from the bottom of the barrel, this will be the future home of the barrels faucet. Using the spade drill, drill a hole. Take the one-inch washer and run a bead of silicone around the one side, then use the silicone tip or your finger to smooth it out all over the washer. Place the washer, silicone side down over the hole.
3. Insert the faucet until it's snug to the barrel making sure it doesn't point directly down. You want the head of the faucet to point to the side so you can slip a bucket underneath in order to capture water. Another option is to place the barrel on a platform for easier water access.
4. Take the female coupling and climb into the barrel to screw it to the male end of the faucet. This is where you might want to have a hand from a friend or family member to hold onto the faucet on the outside of the barrel while you attach the coupling on the inside.
5. Next you'll want to create an overflow outlet for your barrel. Drill another hole, this time about 10 cm from the top of the barrel and attach the barb, securing it with the silicone and attach the elbow tubing on the inside. Take the flexible tubing from the sump pump kit (or just purchase a length of flexible tubing on its own) and attach to the outside of the barrel. The tubing will keep overflow from pouring over the foundation of your home and instead direct it either to your lawn or a nearby flowerbed.
6. Using a jigsaw cut a hole in the lid of the barrel, big enough to accommodate your downspout. Take window screening and secure over the top of the barrel and place the lid over top. The screening prevents debris and insects such as mosquitos who will breed in the barrel from getting in.

Mormons do not have ordained clergy, as such, but lay people step into that role in local congregations and church hierarchies. Mitt Romney shepherded his local flock and was over the other Mormon congregations in the Boston area, serving as "bishop" and "stake president."
The Washington Post has an interesting and surprisingly sympathetic account of when Romney was, in effect, a pastor. He comes across as being staunchly orthodox (in the Mormon sense) while also "pastoral," helping some of his people get around some of the church's regulations and trying to help the poor. At the same time, the piece gives us an inside view of the Mormon religion that is rather unsettling from a Christian perspective.
Christian pastors, how much of what this article describes resonates with what you have to do? What are the differences in how you exercise your office and what Romney did?

As I wrote in my previous entry, now I have to finish up reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" within this week. Extensive reading isn't counted as learning based on my policy, because I don't think it would help improve my English skills effectively. As usual, with a big focus on improving my listening skills, I'm going to continue studying hard this March.
Especially, I should do TED dictation more intensively. I'm planning to resume doing dictations of movies, which is much harder, starting May. This means at least, I really have to be accustomed to the dictation level of TED.
Since the start of this month, I've integrated "Reading by Ear", to ramp up my listening skills. TED dictation isn't very fun, so I put "Reading by Ear" in my plan.
What I have to be careful about is choosing the materials that I'll be using in my training. I shouldn't choose something too hard; otherwise I can't stick to it.
Reproduction is one of the tough stuff and I hate it, but I really need to do this. This month, I'm going to finish 20 articles from breaking news.
1. TED dictation
2. Audible (Charlie and the Chocolate factory)
3. Reproduction(breaking news)
4. Translation English to Japanese(the Economist)
5. Oral Translation Japanese to English(News de Eikaiwa)
6. Oral Translation English to Japanese (Cnn Studente News)
7. Skype online English lesson
8. Writing
9. S's pronouciation lesson

Perhaps I'm being partisan when I say that English apples are the best, and the best of the best are those which were on the tree a few moments ago.
When I was six, my family moved to a lovely, rather shabby 1930s house with a number of mature apple trees, some so mature they were frankly moribund. Each of us was assigned a tree. Dad had the majestic Bramley, Mum had an early type which never kept long, my brother had one which ripened next, my sister's tree was a sort of golden delicious type, but never thrived, and mine was a Charles Ross, a glorious apple which was reminiscent of Cox, but which isn't so fussy, and which keeps right up to Christmas. For some reason, Father Christmas used the same apples in the foot of our Christmas Stockings.
I planted my first apple tree when my husband and I lived in High Wycombe, bought in the sales and transported home in our Ford Cortina, tree head out of the window, my nerves in tatters. I tried to make it into an espalier against the fence, but we moved house before it came into fruition. In Wantage we planted a Family Apple tree with three different varieties, Spartan, Hubby's favourite, Cox, which was lovely, and a cooker – Granadier, I think. I also planted apple trees on my allotment. Alas, we moved to Essex, and the next home owner cut down the family tree, but the trees on the allotment are still thriving, though too far away to benefit me now.
I planted a quince when we arrived in Essex. I figured that I could buy apples, but quince are hard to find. I didn't know much abourt quince, so half-heartedly tried to espalier it. Quince are spawlers, and it resisted all attempts to keep it upright. Last year it was just beautiful, and laden, but I had to cut it back, which upset me. However, I did strike a cutting. Such a pity we're only allowed dwarf trees on my new allotment or I would plant it there. I might just take it over there but keep it n a pot. This year I have just four quince from the old tree, but oh, the fragrance is divine.
My current garden is too cluttered to add apple trees, though I have tried in pots, including a Charles Ross, the same as I had as a child, but it's not very productive as yet.
The trouble with growing up with apples is that the thought of buying apples at supermarket prices for supermarket quality is anathema. Worse, the varieties available are very limited, and apples like Cox are often a mockery of what a real Cox should be. They don't really look like Cox and they don't really taste as a Cox should, to the extent that I wonder if they really are Cox. Perhaps it's something to do with the soil.
When we moved here found one or two wilding trees to forage from, and a friend had an orchard which supplied our apple pie needs for a time. After acquiring my dehydrator, I wanted apples to dry, particularly as Beloved Husband loves dried apple. But not at supermarket prices because it's not economical.
I bought some "horse apples" from a local farm shop, and these dried very well. Nothing "wrong" with them as apples, and I could process them with my apple peeling and slicing machine. This cores, peels and slices in one action, and is based on an old Victorian design. I resented the goodness going out with the peel, and discovered that I can make the machine just slice and core. The unpeeled slices seem to dry just as well as peeled, and it doesn't affect the eating quality.
Every year a "Pick Your own Apples" sign springs up on the B1022 just after Tiptree Heath, and every year I have intended to locate the PYO, but the signs are like mushrooms, there one day, gone the next. This year I finally got round to it and I'm so glad I did. I arrived at Daymens Hill Farm on the way back from dropping my daughter at work, rather too early, though I didn't know that at the time. The sun was still low in the sky and there was a faint mist turning the light golden. Although the picking season was already a fortnight old the trees were still laden with apples. The pears were hanging down and glowing like baubles in the early morning light, and the grass was damp with dew. It gladdened my heart.
The idea is to grab a bucket and, carefully cupping the apples, detach them from the tree and nestle them in the bucket. To merely "pick" them would be disrespectful. The temptation was to fill several buckets because they looked so luscious, but I resisted, picking a few favourites like Spartan, Red Pippins, and proper Cox. There were also Crispins, a variety I haven't seen for years, and several other traditional varieties.
The pears were gorgeous too, epicure pears you rarely see in the shops, as well as that stalward, the Conference.
The fruit was also good value for money when I came to pay for them.
We should, as a nation, be proud of our apple heritage. We should be picking our own from farms like this. But instead we buy apples from the supermarkets, often with air miles attached, or which may have been in cold storage for a long time. Why? Particularly at this time of year, why, when we have the glory of such orchards up and down the country? To taste an apple straight from the tree is one of life's pleasures and yet so many of us miss out because we just can't be bothered. And that includes myself. Fourteen years it took me to find this place. Fourteen years!
We should cherish what we have before we lose it.
The PYO is at Daymens Hill Farm, Grove Farm Road, Tolleshunt Major, Essex, CM9 8JZ, phone 01621 817479 – 815327 The card I have says 10.00am – 4.00pm daily. but I was told 10.00am – 2.00pm, so best check.
Have a look for local PYOs and check out October Apple days near you. The Hyde Hall apple day is on 18th & 19th October 2014

I made Giada's recipe but tweaked it a bit to suit my taste. I cut the sugar in half because I don't like it super sweet and I let it "brew" for two weeks instead of 4 days like she said.
For the packaging, I got these cute bottles from World Market. They have a great selection and even some made especially for Limoncello, but I liked these. I made labels with sticky back canvas and painted using the Random Circle stencil from StencilGirl and lemon yellow paint with white paint through the stencil. I then stamped them for labels, cut out a tag with directions and wrapped some jute around the neck. Voila! A fun holiday gift!
Cheers to all of you! See you in 2014!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Since my family doesn't reallyl care for stuffing (I end up being the only one who eats it). I decided to try to make it more appealing. I was thinking appetizer... so here it is stuffing balls wrapped in bacon.
Prepare your stuffing according to package directions: basically adding sauteed onions with celery and broth. Let cool. Cut your bacon slices in half. Make a tablespoon size ball with the stuffing, wrap the bacon around and secure with a toothpick. You can make them on the stove top in a skillet or in the oven. I haven't put mine into the oven yet, waiting for the turkey to cook, but I went ahead and made a couple on the stove top to taste them and blog them for you to see.

California property values are through the roof. For those of us who live in Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County or Orange County and are considering making a gift of property, obtaining an appraiser to help determine the value of an asset to be gifted or that is in an estate is an important decision. This is true whether the California property is held in your own name or in the name of a limited liability company (LLC).
You don't want to pay for an appraisal, and then lose the case, have a large deficiency or penalties imposed, or suffer the embarrassment of the court telling the appraiser that his testimony is "full of holes".
California and other courts continue to ignore, criticize and occasionally use the testimony of appraisers to determine a disputed value.
Reputation and price of appraisal firms necessarily seem to assure success.
Appraisers must state their qualifications and show their understanding that a substantial or gross valuation misstatement may subject the appraiser to a civil penalty under Internal Revenue Code section 6695A in the appraisal.
Here are some suggestions in working with – and selecting – appraisers:
1. Confirm that the appraiser is full time and independent.
2. Check to be sure the appraiser is credentialed – in the subject matter to be appraised!
3. Confirm that key information, dates, and facts are correct.
4. Insist that the appraisal considers the various valuation methods, and if some are rejected or given less weight than others, a reason is given and supported for that action.
5. Involve the appraiser early.
6. Make sure your appraiser has statistical expertise and the numbers add up – and are current!
7. Confirm that the appraiser is not too "creative".
8. Check to be sure the appraiser has the ability and willingness to listen – as well as to engage the client and others in order to obtain important information that others may not have asked.
Structuring your gift or creating an estate tax strategy to minimize or avoid tax requires the input of a qualified California tax attorney. Call Mitchell A. Port at (310) 559-5259 to discuss the tax strategy you have in mind or that may be available to you.

Today the Kinect SDK 2.0 – the development kit for the new, improved Kinect version 2 – went live. You can download it immediately.
Kinect for Windows v2 is now out of its beta and pre-release phase.
Additionally, the Windows Store will now accept apps developed for Kinect. If you have a Kinect for Windows v2 sensor and are running Windows 8, you will be able to use it to run apps you've downloaded from the Windows Store.
And if you don't have a Kinect for Windows v2? In that case, you can use the Kinect sensor from your XBox One and – with a $50 adapter that Microsoft just released – turn it into a sensor you can use with your Windows 8 computer.
You basically now have a choice of purchasing a Kinect for Windows v2 kit for $200, or a separate Kinect for Xbox One for $150 and an adapter for $50.
Alternatively, if you already have the sensor that came with your Xbox One, Microsoft has effectively lowered the entry bar to $50 so you can start trying the new Kinect:
1. Buy the Kinect v2 adapter.
2. Download the SDK to your 64-bit Windows 8 machine.
3. Detach the Kinect from your XBox One and plug it into your computer.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Seeing world number 50 Mischa Zverev and wildcard Denis Istomin upset the top two players in the world at Melbourne Park shows more players believe they can take shake up the established order and that can only be good for tennis, says Roger Federer.
Zverev's win over world number one Andy Murray on Sunday came on the heels of Istomin's second round victory over six-times champion Novak Djokovic, results which not only surprised Federer but saw the odds of him winning the title shortened.
"I never thought that Mischa Zverev and Denis Istomin would beat those two big guys," said 17-times grand slam champion Federer, who will play Zverev on Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday.

"I guess it's good for tennis that a lot of guys believe stronger now that the top guys are beatable, are vulnerable, especially on a faster court.
"But two huge surprises. No doubt about that."
Federer added that he would practice against a left-hander before the clash with Zverev, who charged Murray at the net and put the Scot off his rhythm from the baseline in their fourth-round encounter.
"Obviously he's on a high right now. He's feeling great," the Swiss said of Zverev. "Probably feels the best he's ever felt on a tennis court.
"It's going to be tough and different and tricky."
Things will not get any easier for Federer should he get past the 29-year-old German, with compatriot Stan Wawrinka or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga waiting for him in the last four.
Tsonga said he was taking it one match at a time.
"It's going to be a tough match," he said of Wawrinka. "I know he's playing really good.
"If I win, another opponent, and if I win, another one, so ... the most important thing for me is to be focused on the next opponent."
In the women's quarters, Venus Williams has the chance to send a positive message to all the veterans at the tournament when the 36-year-old takes on Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, 11 years her junior, in the first match on Rod Laver Arena.
Williams could meet her younger sister Serena in a ninth grand slam final if they both get through the draw but she is refusing to think about that scenario just yet.
She would first have to get past Coco Vandeweghe or French Open champion Garbine Muguruza in the last four.
"She's a tricky player," Muguruza said of the 25-year-old Vandeweghe. "She has a lot of power, full shots, serve, everything. She can play very well."

Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Harem The Rewrite Part 4
by Red Jacobson ([email protected])
The Hospital Wing
Shortly after the last Chapter
Harry and Hermione were sitting quietly, holding hands, when Luna came back in, leading a girl that Harry recognized as Felicity Eastchurch; a rather cute, but quiet 4th year Ravenclaw. The girl smiled nervously at the two of them before making her way to Ron's bed and pulling the privacy curtains around them.
Luna grinned as she joined the two of them on the bed.
Hermione spoke first, "Luna, while I'm sure that Ron will enjoy waking up with a girl in his bed, don't you think Madam Pomfrey would object?"
"Not at all, Hermione. She won't even know about it. She's taking a nap right now because I cast a sleep spell on her. She won't wake up until lunch time, unless there is an emergency, then she would wake up instantly. If she wakes up normally, she won't even realize it was unusual. Now, let's get back to the important stuff, do you have any questions for me?"
"Yes, I do. you mentioned getting some help to take care of Harry, who do you have in mind? As I said, I want to make sure I can get along with them, especially if some of them will be a permanent part of our life."
"Well, the only girl I'm thinking about is Padma, simply because we are already lovers, and she confessed that she has had a crush on Harry for the past year, ever since seeing how he handled the Dragon. I haven't asked her yet, but I'm certain she will say yes, and, although I'm not sure how I feel about it, from something that Sirius said, Cho may have a part to play over the summer."
"Padma and I get along really well, so that's good. Cho, however, doesn't like me, and I'm afraid there will be a conflict, especially if she tries to keep me out of Harry's life."
"Hermione, I really don't think there will be as much of a problem as you do. Cho was in a very bad situation on Valentine's day, but, after the mess with the D.A., Luna told me that she has been re-evaluating things, and I'm not even sure we will be involved with her. Cedric just asked that I look out for her over the Summer. And, even if she does get involved, I'll make sure she understands your place in my life. If she can't handle it, then I'll tell her goodbye."
Hermione smiled in relief, "Okay, now, I realize that I'm in no shape to find out for myself, so, Harry, why don't you take a walk for a few minutes while Luna fills me in on the details!"
Harry grinned and said, "I'll go see Neville and grab us something from the kitchens. Back in a little while."
As he was leaving, he heard Luna say, "I'm impressed, you've already got him trained." The rest of the conversation was cut off as the door closed behind him.
After Harry left, Luna turned back to Hermione and said, "I'm very glad that you are as open to this relationship as I am. I was afraid that you were going to make Harry choose between us, and I knew that I would lose. He is very fond of me, and it could grow into more, but he honestly loves you. I don't think he knows how long it's been, but I could tell even back at the beginning of the year that there was a very strong connection between the two of you."
"I know, his reaction when I raised my concern about Cho demonstrated that. Now, I want details, Luna, how big is he, what did you two do, how did you like it? Everything! I'm not going to get the real thing for a few months yet, so I need some details to keep my fingers busy!"
"Well, to start with, he's about 8 inches long, and pretty thick....."
Gryffindor Common Room
A Few Minutes Later
Harry climbed through the portrait and saw that the common room was fairly deserted, apparently everybody was either having a lie-in or at breakfast, although he was happy to see Neville and Ginny were there on the couch by the fireplace. Although he was mildly surprised to see just how close together they were, especially considering that she was on Neville's lap and examining his tonsils with her tongue.
"Hem! Hem! Are you two children aware of the penalties for such unseemly behavior?" He asked, doing his best Umbridge impersonation. He laughed at how quickly the two of them broke apart, but the laughter died when he found himself looking at the business ends of two wands.
"Merlin, Harry! Don't do that! You scared me out of a years growth." Neville complained, while Ginny just glared at him, saying, "I really hope you had a good reason for interrupting us! Neville finally got up his nerve to ask me out 20 minutes ago, and I was expressing my pleasure that he had done so. So, why did you find it necessary to break us up?"
"Oh, nothing too important, just wanted you to know that Sirius is back." Harry said casually as he sat down across from them.
"He's what!" the two of them shouted, before quickly quieting down.
"Well, it's like this, Luna and I, by the way, we're dating as well, were spending some time in the Room of Requirement, and Sirius showed up. He'd just pulled himself back together, and came looking for me."
"So, you and Luna, huh? When did that happen?" Ginny smirked. "I figured it would be you and Hermione, the way you acted the other night."
"Yeah, Harry, I thought you were going to tear the death eater who hurt her apart with your bare hands."
Harry blushed, "Yeah, well, it's a little more complicated than that, but this isn't the best place to discuss it. Follow me."
The three of them left the common room heading for an unused classroom.
Meanwhile, the Slytherin 5th year Girls Dormitory
Pansy held the letter in shaking hands, her stomach in knots. "Oh no, Oh no, I can't believe they are doing this to me! Just because I don't want to take the Mark and marry Draco!"
But there is was, in her mother's distinctive handwriting, her doom in two paragraphs.
Words can not express just how disappointed and unhappy your father and I are with you right now. We have tolerated your misbehavior for far too long, but this is the final outrage! Do you have any idea the embarrassment we suffered when we received word from Lucius Malfoy that you had rejected his son? And after he had paid the agreed on price! Needless to say, we had to give him the money back, even though we had already spend a great deal of it on preparations for the wedding.
Now, after a great deal of discussion between your father and I as to the best method of punishing you, we've decided that, since you are so independent that you can reject the plans your elders have for you, you can pay us back every knut that we spent on you so you can go to Hogwarts as well as the wedding arrangements and the bride price. Of course, we realize that it would be difficult for a silly little girl to earn enough money to pay us back working in a shop, so your father made arrangements with an old friend of ours to give you a place to earn your keep. You will take the enclosed portkey on the day school lets out, don't even get on the Express, and leave your trunk at school, you won't need it. The portkey will take you to our old friend Eloise, who will put you to work for the summer. And, as a favor to me, she has added a couple of things to make your time even more educational.
This is the last communication you will receive until your debt is paid in full.
Your Very Disappointed Mother
Pansy folded the letter and put it away, before throwing herself on her bed and crying herself to sleep.
An empty classroom
"Now, before I tell you any more, I need your oaths that you will not discuss this with anybody without my permission, and that means writing it down, or any other means of discussing it."
Neville and Ginny gave their oaths without hesitation, and Harry explained exactly what happened and what is going on with Luna and Hermione.
Neville whistled, "Damn, Harry, I don't know whether to pity you or envy you! I can't imagine being with anybody but Ginny, but two women?"
Ginny shot her boyfriend a grateful look before saying, "And what about Ron? You know he's going to blow his stack when he finds out both Luna and Hermione are with you! Are you ready for a repeat of the TriWizard?"
"Well, hopefully Ron will be too distracted with his new girlfriend to care too much about what Hermione, Luna and I are up to."
"What new girlfriend?"
The Hospital Wing, Ron's Bed
"Ron, Ron, wake up!"
"Huh? I'm awake, I'm awake! Felicity? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, good, you remember me! I heard about how you were hurt helping Harry, and how brave you were, and I decided that things are too uncertain not to tell you how I feel. I've had a crush on you ever since I was a first year, that was so brave driving that flying car all the way from London, and, how you are always helping other people, and, well, I just wanted to ask, would you be my boyfriend?"
Ron looked at her for a second, trying to decipher what she was saying, and, once he did, a smile crossed his face, "Well, this isn't exactly how I expected to find a girlfriend. Sure, I'll be happy to be your boyfriend."
"That's great! Now, slide over, I can't snog you properly sitting here in the chair." As Ron moved over, Felicity removed her school robes, showing she wasn't wearing anything but her bra and knickers underneath. Sliding into the bed, she climbed on top of the un-protesting redhead and proceeded to snog the life out of him.
The Ossuary
The Bones Family Home
That Morning
Amelia Bones yawned as she sat down to breakfast. Her elf, Snidget had a cup of coffee waiting for her, and she smiled gratefully at the elf before taking a sip. The caffeine did its work quickly, and, feeling a little more alert after the past two sleepless nights, she started on her sausage and eggs. She made quick work of the excellent breakfast and thanked the elf for once again anticipating her needs so well. She was sipping on her second cup of coffee when there was a scratching at the window. Looking over, she saw that Snidget was bringing a letter to her, while the owl was drinking from the water bowl in between bites of the bacon that was left out.
Turning the letter over, her eyes widened at the seal on the back. A sword crossed in front of the Christian Cross, resting on a book. She knew that seal, although she hadn't seen it since she'd left Hogwarts many years before. The words around the design just confirmed it. "What the bloody hell does the House of Giles want with me?" she wondered, checking the letter for any traps, and, not finding anything, ran her finger under the wax, opening the envelope.
Madam Bones,
I am not sure you remember me, but we were year mates in Hogwarts, although in different houses. The reason I am writing you is to offer you assistance in the battle against Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort. It is obvious after the events of Friday night that the Fudge Administration is on it's last legs, and common sense tells my associates and I that you are the most likely to replace him. It's been our observation that you would prosecute the war against Riddle and his minions quite effectively, and the organization I represent, 'The Council of Watchers' would be willing to work with you in combating this threat. If you are interested, please reply, and we can work out mutually satisfactory arrangements to meet.
Sincerely yours,
Rupert Giles
Ravenclaw, Class of 1968
Thinking back, she had vague memories of Giles, a rather stuffy sort if she recalled, but never caused any problems. She seemed to recall he dropped out of the Wizarding World, or seemed to, not long after Graduation. Although if he had gone to work for the Watchers, that could explain it. Amelia, as was common with the Directors of the DMLE, was familiar with the Watchers Council and their work containing the demonic breeds of vampires that seemed to congregate in certain areas. She was fortunate that those types of vampires never spend much time in the magical areas, so she didn't have to worry much about them.
Realizing that the points he had raised were valid, and she was the logical choice to take over for Fudge, she also knew that she could use all the help she could get. Having her elf bring her fresh parchment and her writing materials, she asked the owl to wait for a reply and started to write.
Sending off the letter, she got dressed and headed to the Ministry, knowing it was going to be another long day.
Hospital Wing
Later that Afternoon
Hermione was laying back on the pillow, a book face down and open across her chest and her eyes were closed, sound asleep when Sirius floated into the Hospital Wing. Not able to resist a joke, he floated as close as he could to the sleeping girl and yelled in her ear, "Hey, Hermione, are you awake?"
The ghost of Padfoot started laughing at the way Hermione shrieked and tossed her book in the air before turning to glare at him.
"I am now, what do you want, Sirius? Sirius? Sirius!"
"Yes, Yes and Yes!"
Hermione smiled, her anger forgotten, "Oh, it's so good to see you, Harry and Luna told me you were back, and it really made a difference in Harry. Well, that and getting laid probably had a lot to do with it, too." She ended with a grin, "So, have a seat, talk to me, what's it like, what do you remember? Did you see bright lights in a tunnel?
"I remember being surprised that Bella hit me, she never was able to touch me when we were kids. Of course, the fact that I'd been cooped up in that house drinking for the past year might have had something to do with it as well. Anyway, I remember falling through the veil, and then, nothing! Suddenly I heard voices, and James and Lily were there, and somebody I didn't recognize. Prongs introduced him as Cedric Diggory, and I knew who he was once I heard the name. Then Prongs asked me if I were staying, and I told them no, that I have something I swore to do. I promised I would be back when it was done, so they each gave me some messages, and I woke up here at Hogwarts. By the way, Lily gave me a message for you, she said that she approves of you, and thinks you'll make an excellent primary wife to her Harry, and she and James both thank you for taking care of him when I wasn't able to."
"Heh, I guess they can see a lot from up there. I never dreamed Harry would feel the same way about me as I did about him."
"You know, Hermione, for the 'smartest witch of her generation' you need to work on your observation skills. It was obvious to all of us in the house at Christmas time that he was head over heels for you, hell, even Snivelus saw it, and you know how dense he can be! He was miserable the whole time, until you got there, and then it was like he came alive."
"Well, he never was one for showing emotions, was he? Fortunately, I think that's going to change, if Luna and I have anything to say about it!"
"Anyway, how much do you know about what is going on with Harry's magic?"
"Pretty much what I've been told, although I do remember hearing about other wizards, and the occasional witch, that it happened to, and the massive amount of sex is pretty much the only known treatment, but, in Harry's case, it has a beneficial side effect, in that he will be able to bond with certain girls, and the bonding will make them more powerful magically, so they can defend themselves better. Besides, I've heard that the sex in a bond relationship is amazing!"
"I can't wait to find out!" Hermione snickered, "if only Parv and Lavender could hear me now, they figured I'd never have sex with a guy until my wedding night, and wouldn't have a clue what to do. Little do they know!"
"Oh, does innocent Hermione have stories to tell?" Sirius asked with a smile.
"Not a lot of hands on experience, but tons of research, and I can't wait to show Harry what I've learned! If it weren't for this damn curse damage, I'd be the one to share his bed right now, and not Luna!"
"Actually, if it makes you feel any better, Luna is in Ravenclaw tower and Harry is asleep in his own bed, and has been for a couple of hours."
"Actually, it does, I'm ashamed to admit, but I do feel a bit better."
"So, he said, changing the subject" Sirius grinned, "How's Ron doing?"
Hermione laughed, "Much better now, he got woken up by a fourth year Ravenclaw asking if she could be his girlfriend, he said yes, and apparently she snogged the life out of him. She moved the privacy curtain when she left, and he just sat there with a stupid grin on his face, before finally going back to sleep."
Sirius laughed quietly, "Yeah, that would do it! I remember one time when I was in school, I got banged up pretty bad during a Quidditch game, and one of the young years snuck into the hospital wing one night and made sure I had some pleasant dreams." The grin faded as he said, "The Death Eaters got her that summer, she was a Muggleborn and very outspoken. That's one of the reasons I came back, I promised Lily and James that I'd watch over Harry, but, I also promised myself that I'd watch over you. You remind me of Allison quite a bit, and, damn it, it still hurts losing her that way!"
Sirius wiped his hand across his face, "Huh, what do you know, a ghost can cry! Learn something new everyday."
"Anyway, I just wanted to see you for a minute, I'm gonna go back and visit with Moony for a while. I'll see you tomorrow, ok?
"See you tomorrow, Padfoot, and I'm so glad you are back," Hermione said, before laying back down and trying to sleep.
Ravenclaw Tower,
4th Year Girls Dorm
At the same time
Padma knocked on the door, and Luna let her in, locking the door behind her. Pulling the older girl into her arms, she moaned into the kiss that Padma gave her.
Breaking the kiss, Padma sat Luna on the bed, and asked eagerly, "So, what happened, you've been gone since last night!"
"Well, it was amazing!. I got to the examining room in time, and heard Harry talking to the Headmaster, I almost fainted when Professor Dumbledore told Harry that his magical core had doubled, and, until his body adjusted, he would need to have sex several times a day, every day, to keep from burning out. Harry was as shocked as I was, and, after the Headmaster left, I showed myself at the right time, and explained what I had seen, and offered to help him. It took some convincing, but he understands that I care for him as Harry, and really wanted to be with him. I have to tell you, though, after everything that we did to each other, I don't think I can handle him by myself. I almost passed out because he made me cum so many times, and he was almost too big for me to take up the back passage, but, he made it feel so good! I know that you have feelings for him as well, almost as strong as my own, and, well, would you be willing to join us? One thing you need to know, though, if you and Harry connect as well as I think you will, you will effectively be marrying him. You do get a lot out of the bargain though, in addition to mind shattering orgasms, the magical bond will increase your magical core as well.
"Wow! I can't believe you got Harry so fast! And, you want me to join you? I definitely like the idea, but, what about Hermione?" Padma asked.
"That was the third biggest surprise, I'll tell you the second one in a while, but Harry and I talked to Hermione, and she is perfectly willing to share, it turns out that her mother and father have an additional four wives between them, so she is very open to the idea. Any other questions?"
Padma grinned wickedly, "Yeah, so, he took your arse? Was it as good as you expected? I know I'm wet just imagining it, I love the idea!"
"I knew you would, my anal queen! I don't think you'll have any problems taking him there, considering how you keep yourself stretched out with those toys of yours. Tell me, does your sister know about your quirk?"
"Of course, she likes the feeling too. In fact, if Harry is agreeable, maybe I can bring her with me for one of my turns with him."
"You can ask, but, Harry's main concern is that the girl can keep quiet, and, lets face it, Parvati isn't exactly known for being the soul of discretion."
"Only when it comes to non-important things, something that is important, she'll carry the secret to her grave, you can trust me on that!"
"If you say so, I'll have to take your word for it. So, do you want to come with me tomorrow? I know Harry is interested in you, and will be very happy to see you."
"Of course, I'd love to join you."
Padma pulled Luna into a hug, and said, "Alright, that's enough of the serious stuff, you said that he was almost as good as I am with his tongue? Show me! Just what did the green eyed wonder do to you?"
"Ooh, I thought you'd never ask!" Luna giggled, as she pulled Padma down onto the bed, the two of them were soon nude, and Padma was laying on her back, looking up at her lover with anticipation in her eyes, dew already gathering in the lush curls above her Lotus, and her nipples standing erect. "First of all, Harry had a distinct advantage over you, I'm afraid, unless you are secretly a parselmouth and haven't told anybody? I'm not either, but I think I can simulate the effect." Grabbing her wand, she tapped it on her tongue and lips, and, feeling them vibrate, smiled and started kissing Padma's throat.
The Great Hall,
Dinner Time
There was silence as Harry and Luna walked into the hall hand in hand. Harry turned to her and gave Luna a peck on the lips before letting go of her hand and joining his friends at the Gryffindor table.
He took a seat where he could see what was happening at Ravenclaw, and smiled to himself at the reaction Luna received. The girls who were snubbing her just the last week were falling all over themselves to be friendly, while the three girls who had been her friends for over a year, just greeted her calmly, as though nothing had changed. Although he had to grin at the goofy grin on Padma's face. Luna had told him what the two of them had gotten up to this afternoon, and he couldn't wait to see them together. He smiled anticipating what was to happen later that evening. He cared for Luna, and loved Hermione, but still couldn't wait to be with Padma, especially after Luna told him about her quirk!
Dinner went fairly quickly, only interrupted by a note from the Headmaster, who told him that Sirius's will reading would be Tuesday morning, and he could take a portkey right to Gringotts. The old man's eyes were twinkling like mad, leading Harry to believe that something interesting would be happening at the reading. Quietly thanking Dumbledore, he went back to his breakfast.
Remus Lupin's Rooms,
After Dinner
"Did you get the reservations made, Moony?" Sirius asked, as soon as Remus walked into the room.
Moony laughed, "Oh boy, did I ever! I can't tell you exactly what I found out, but, I can tell you that Harry is in for a very, very interesting summer, there are 3 girls from Slytherin working there, a couple of Ravenclaws, a bunch of Hufflepuffs, and even 4 Gryffindors! I have a feeling that a lot of the upper year girls are going to be walking funny when they get on the Express!"
"So, am I gonna be bankrupt?"
"Almost, the whole summer, including a private room and meals, as well as bringing in occasional outside guests, is gonna cost you close to 100,000 galleons. Granted, you're dead, and don't need the money, but still, that is a lot of money to spend in one place!"
"True, especially when you consider that Harry is going to be left 50,000 galleons that he has to spend by September 1st, or else the ferret gets the estate I can see him being very, very generous with the tips and the girls."
"You know, Paddy, if you weren't already dead, Harry would kill you for that stunt! Granted, he's in a lot better mood now, but still, that's like waving a red flag in front of a bull! Especially when you consider how much he hates Draco. You know what would really twist Draco's tale, if I showed him a pensive memory of my memory of his mother. Do you think he would enjoy knowing how good she is with her mouth?"
"Probably not, especially if he takes after his father, although, in that case he may want to ask her for some pointers, especially since he's going to need some way of making money!"
"Ooh! Evil Padfoot, very Evil! I like it!" Remus grinned.

It's hard to imagine a world without electricity. Electricity binds our world together. It helps people connect with one another as it transmits both power and information. Electrical engineers do more than just power your cell phone and make sure your lights come on.
As an electrical engineer, you could work with many different kinds of electromagnetic fields. Transmit and interpret digital signals that send information to your cell phone. Generate microwaves that can help detect breast cancer and the light waves used by night vision technology. You could help maintain and expand the networks that send information over the internet. Control navigation of airplanes and ships. Even power complex medical devices, like MRI scanners. With a degree in electrical engineering, you could work in many different fields, including biomedicine, communications and the defense industry. Graduates from the University of Arkansas's EE program have gone on to work for Sprint, Boeing, Intel, Texas Instruments, and Northrop-Grumman.
The way we generate and use electricity is becoming faster, more efficient, and safer for the environment. You could be at the center of this energy revolution. Designing smart electrical grids that can help us conserve energy. Finding means for the harvesting of sustainable power. Creating products that use electricity in new ways that Thomas Edison never imagined. Electricity transforms and improves our world, and it connects people to one another. It is the job of electrical engineers to maintain this vital resource.
Electrical Engineering at the University of Arkansas
- Lab Experience - The U of A EE education involves hands-on laboratory experience that enhances the ideas and concepts taught in the classroom.
- Design Projects - In a two-semester senior design project, you will move from the initial design stage to the finished working product, using what you have learned in the EE program.
- Undergraduate Research - You will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading research professors in state-of-the-art laboratories and often get paid for your work.
- Accreditation - Our EE program has offered a BSEE degree for over 100 years and has been continuously accredited by ABET since 1936.
- Study Abroad - As an EE student, you will have many opportunities to expand your education through study abroad in India, Iceland, France, Italy and many other countries.
- Student Organizations - As an EE student, you can become involved in several organizations. Examples include IEEE, Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Beta Pi, IEEE Power Electronics Society, and Arkansas Robotics Club.

My email has recently been overloaded with many of the same questions from my readers.
As a result, I've decided to provide answers to all of my Frequently Asked Questions in this post.
As always, don't hesitate to contact me if you have more to ask (but please read these first)!
1. What is your favorite country?
This question is impossible for me to answer. The term "favorite country" is way too vague. It's almost like asking, "what's your favorite food?"
If you re-word the question more specifically, then my favorite country for food is Japan, for nightlife is Korea, and for the people is Myanmar. I also love Vietnam, The Philippines, Czech Republic and Sweden.
… But as much as I love exploring the world, The USA is always #1 in my book.
2. How can you afford to travel?
I get really annoyed when people assume that I am rich, or that my parents pay for everything.
I'm not rich, and I don't take a penny from my parents.
I make money in four ways: Teaching English, Making Videos, Travel Blogging, and Partnering with Brands.
I Taught English in Korea for 18 months, and made a lot of money there with great benefits like free housing. It was an incredible experience and I highly recommend teaching in Korea if you are a native English speaker!
These days, I am making enough money from this blog to travel full-time, along with all the awesome benefits like free hotels, free transportation, etc. These benefits enable me to travel longer and cheaper.
I also partner with and get sponsored by tourism boards and brands, who pay me in exchange for coverage on my blog and social media.
3. How can I teach English abroad?
I wrote this 7,000 word guide to teaching English in Korea, which will give you everything you need to know from start to finish. If are interested in teaching in other countries, then simply do a Google Search and you can find loads of information online. I highly recommend teaching in Asia over Europe beacuse the overall experience will be much more diverse, and the pay is often higher.
Keep in mind that there are 3 general requirements for ALL teaching English jobs around the world: These requirements are 1) having a degree from a 4 year University, 2) holding a passport from an English speaking country, and 3) obtaining your TEFL Certificate (Teach English as a Foreign Language).
4. What are best cities for nightlife?
Here are my Top 5 (in order):
Seoul, Prague, Barcelona, Stockholm and Bali.
5. What are the best cities for food?
Again, my top 5 in order are:
Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo, Taipei and Seoul (yes, I am obsessed with Asian food) ^^
6. How Can I get started to travel long-term?
There are many ways that you can get started to travel, and none of them require you to be rich or have a huge savings account.
The biggest risk is quitting your job and buying a one-way plane ticket. I know it's nerve racking, but I can promise you that so many new opportunities will come your way once you take the leap.
It's not as hard as you think to find your first job overseas. Here are some suggestions:
– Teach English
– Work on a Cruise Ship
– Start a Blog
– Become a freelancer (writing, editing, movie making, modeling, consulting, etc.)
– Work at a Bar
– Work in a Hotel
– Work at a tour agency
– Organize private tours

7. How do you find cheap flights?
I wrote an entire post on U.S. News Travel about finding cheap flights. Read it here.
The first sites that I check for flights are Kayak and Google Flights I am aware that these websites may not be the cheapest, but they do the best job of laying out all of the possible flights, and you can get a ballpark range for the price.
Once you see and pick out which airlines offer the cheapest prices, then go to that airlines specific website and try to book the flight on there. Many times, it is cheaper that way. If not, then just book directly on Kayak.
**Another trick that sometimes works for overseas flights is Expedia.JP (JP stands for Japan). It's exactly the same as Expedia, but just for Japanese people. Go on the site and just set the language to English and the currency to Dollars and search for flight normally. Sometimes the algorithm for Japanese search engines finds MUCH cheaper flights (I once saved $300 from Seoul to LA!)
8. Are you rich?
I don't spend my money on useless materialistic things and I make decent money from travel blogging. You can do it too if you try.
But I do work my butt off on my blog and through making videos. 18 hour days.
9. Do you want to travel with me?
Absolutely! I love meeting up with my followers around the world. Just send me an email and let's have fun!
I've been doing Instagram meet ups lately wherever I go, so keep an eye out for that too in case we are ever in the same city ?
10. Do you prefer to travel solo or with people?
When I first started traveling, I always went with a friend or two. It wasn't until my recent trips to Myanmar and India until I ventured off alone.
Both have their pros and cons. But if I had to choose, then I'd prefer to travel with 1 best friend who I am very compatible with. And if we want to go off and do our own things, then we can.
I refuse to travel with more than 2 others, because it's a nightmare.
11. Do you make a living from your blog?
The amount of money that I make varies month to month, depending on how many clients that I can get to sponsor me. Some months I have made $500 and others, while others up to $4,000. I make a lot more through video than blogging.
But it's the benefits – like free hotels, meals, trains, travel tours, etc – that are just as good, if not better, than the money for me.
12. Where have you been?
I have been to all 7 continents, 142 countries and over 350 cities.
Here is a map and list of where I've been in the world.
13. Are you ever going to stop or settle down?
I have no idea. Right now, I am loving life and I'm not going to stop what I am doing. We will see what the future has in store for me.
Ultimately, I plan on living back in the USA (most likely Chicago or San Diego), but I'll always be traveling. It's my job, and it's my life.
14. How do you prefer to travel?
Everyone has their own ways they go about traveling, but mine is plain and simple:
I want to see as many places as humanly possible.
I want to see every inch of land, every mountain range, every tropical beach, and all the wonders of the world. I want to fully immerse myself in the local culture, be thrown in places that don't speak or understand a word of English, and completely observe the everyday life around me.
So due to my preferred way of exploring, it's hard for me to travel for a long time in any given country. My longest trip in a country was 7 weeks in India, but I usually travel for 4-10 days in any new place.
15. I want to know more about you!
