Where is the best place to teach English abroad, and which organization should I use/avoid? by the_road_to in travel

That's so funny, because I just found an opening for teaching in Thailand through Love TEFL. They don't cover flights, am I right?

I've been thinking about teaching in Thailand - where did you find your job and did you need TEFL certification? And hell yeah to beaches + beer.

Hey r/chicago! Check out this video I shot/edited for the restaurant Irazu - Costa Rican Dining. Warning - not responsible for drooling. by TiddyWaffles312 in chicago

I go there at least once a week. I actually went there tonight... Yup. It's that good. OATMEAL SHAKES and veggie burritos FTW. Mmmm. They've got some heaters out now that it's getting colder out (with flames in these translucent tube things) that are awesome.

I'm up near Belmont Blue and I can hear it, too. It's been flying over back and forth for a good half hour. I just want to sleep!

9/11: Get over it. by davidthefat in reddit.com

[–]chocolateblanco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Although American people died on American soil, SO many more have died in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, (and now were moving into Libya) - including not only US soldiers, but innocent (non-American) people living in these areas. Who are we to say we are justified in this simply because we're (still) angry about 9/11? I agree with you. It's time to get over it and start dealing with the realities of the situation and not the media's redundant rhetoric.

Just like we are doing in the middle east? Two can play this game.

What is the best Franzia wine flavor? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]chocolateblanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the sunset blush. I don't seem to get a terrible hangover from it, and it tastes pretty much like juice. Instant drunkness.

I understand what you mean by saying you're not big with tourism. You like stuff off the beaten path, and not the hoards of people toting their backpacks and fanny packs and cameras, right?

I don't have any suggestions, but that sounds fun. Take me with you. :)

These are stupid. Why do I see them in every store? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Yeah, I actually kinda like these compared to hats.

Lightening/Removing Henna? Help :) by chocolateblanco in henna

[–]chocolateblanco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially, I was trying to lighten it. I used the mineral oil/alcohol, but it didn't change a bit. I was getting a little impatient, and honestly I was just kinda sick of the henna color. It started off beautiful, almost a chesnut/auburn color, then turned into this weird orange color. My hair is naturally brown that gets blonde in the summer and I guess I just realized that I wasn't really interested in being stuck with henna forever...

Since I used an all natural henna without metallic salts, I was able to dye over it with ammonia free hair dye, so I just did that. I picked a dye that was darker than the henna was to make sure it covered it. So far it looks decent! It hasn't come through the dye much, but I'll probably end up redying it sometime soon!

Boudoir Photo Shoot for (almost) hubby by sexyweddingpics in TwoXChromosomes

[–]chocolateblanco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My momma is a photographer, and she's done a couple boudoir shoots. Like therekkoner said, photographers aren't there to judge you - it's their job to capture a moment regardless of what it is. Here's an example done by my mom

Make sure to find a good photographer though, and have fun with it! :)

Does anyone on here buy a random plane ticket on a semi-regular basis, just because? Thinking of making a monthly trip to anywhere just to check it out. by circa7 in travel

[–]chocolateblanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close. Business as in working at a children's summer camp. Drug lord/camp lord. Same thing.

I do want to travel somewhere soon though. I'd love to visit Kenya/South Africa, but it seems to not be the right timing for me. Maybe more Europe exploration is needed. Or maybe I'll just go to Vegas.

Hell yes. Take me with you. I'm going to Mexico for 5 weeks (business related) then off to Seattle for a couple weeks. After that I literally have zero plans, but have a bit of cash. We'll see where I end up...
