This topic is right and wrong depending on the purpose. When we were taught by our father how to play cards it is not for the fun of it or for the winning but only for the knowledge. That way we learned that gambling is not good. You can win some today and you can lose all tomorrow. For me, I...

Friends know that I am a frequent traveler abroad so they are often asking me when I would travel. As long as the face mask is required I do not want to travel. It is annoying to see my pictures with the face mask. Think of a vista shot of a public place where you see many people with all of...

This may sound expensive because hiring a driver for the family car is a big expense. But I guess that is cheaper than having more than 1 car. Think if the couple are both working and they have kids that go to school. A driver can bring them all to their job and school. In the afternoon the...
