I Ignored Western Media Warnings, and Went to Dangerous Russia 🇷🇺 -- How dangerous is it really?

 




the John Lennon Wall in Prague is Important for all People to See and Experience

Of all the amazing history of Prague the most important and emotional site to see is the John Lennon Wall. The Wikipedia write up is not very informative regarding the history and meaning of "the John Lennon Wall" in Prague, Czech Republic.

Just looking at it on the Internet one may think what is the big deal about a graffiti wall? Looking at this wall on the Internet does not convey the huge importance is has to the Czech people even today. It does not explain how this wall affects 7.9 billion people in the world. Hundreds of millions of people are still suffering like the Czech people had to. Many people visiting the John Lennon Wall have no clue about the long history and struggle for freedom the Czech people had to fight. When I read comments of people visiting the John Lennon Wall, I can tell just by reading their comments which people are ignorant of history, and which people understand the complex historical and strong emotional meaning of freedom and true democracy the wall represents. 

The Russian Communists heinously abused and tortured the Czech people and all they really wanted to do was to be “free and brave”, like the words in the USA national anthem.  E.g. “the land of the free and the home of the brave”. For examples of Czech abuse please read about the Velvet Revolution in 1989
Over 70% of the Czech people (young and old) still have a strong resentment and hatred of Russians.
This seems awkward to me because there are many Russian tourists here in Prague.

Why Online Dating is Not Perfect


I have been studying online dating for years and it would appear at first like it is a great idea. For guys you know that the women are available. Most guys who see an attractive woman in public, quickly find out that she is married or already has a long term boyfriend. It is difficult enough for most guys to talk to attractive women and then when they try, they find out almost all of them are already taken.
So they may think online dating is the answer.

Barcelona Spain Culture and Lifestyle - Videos of the favorite Tourist Locations

Please see video below.


The first thing any English speaking person should know and accept when they travel to Spain is:

1. "Right now" generally means about one hour.
2. "A few minutes" usually means two hours.

If you are from America, Canada, Australia, or the United Kingdom this understanding will save you a lot of frustrations and you will enjoy your trip to Barcelona and the rest of Spain more than if you try to force an English speaking mentality on the relations you have with Spanish speaking people of Spain.
Their culture is very different to what you may be accustomed to in your native country.


Please understand you are in their country and you can learn a lot by studying their culture and lifestyle.

If you are fortunate enough to have the financial resources to stay in a luxury 5 star hotel like the Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos there will of course be English speaking staff. People come from all over the world to visit Barcelona which is known worldwide for all night dancing and partying. 
It is true, and it is also very different from say Las Vegas, where you can also party all night long. The Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos has some very good things and some really stupid things their management does. The good include a great breakfast buffet that any American hotel executive could learn from, the gym and spa are very nice and the staff does try to please you. The bad includes a very small shower area even by European standards, the Garden restaurant is always booked and very expensive. Then if you order room service you can have some $30 French fries and other vastly over priced food. Spain is very expensive in general and it is not just the exchange rate. Like most of Europe everything is more expensive since the conversion to the Euro. I do not understand why this is yet it it true for the Netherlands, France, Spain etc.
A rental car in the USA that might cost $70 per day is $510 per day in Barcelona, you do not really want to drive yourself in the city anyway, the traffic and drivers are kind of crazy. Even dry cleaning your laundry is about 400% more expensive than in the USA. Plus the level of service is terrible. I had to go twice to pick up my clothes because when they were supposed to be ready I was told tomorrow, which is typical of Spain's culture. Then they did not give me all my clothes and the next day I had to have the hotel call them 3 times and after a few hours my clothes did finally appear. This is why you need to alter your American ideas of service and quality when you are in Spain.









Some of the funny things I noticed:

Just a short walk down the street heading north towards the beach you will see one of the most beautiful buildings that looks like a castle. It is a military building and then across the street is a University with a run down dumpy building that is their College of Architecture. This makes Americans smile, because it is the complete opposite in America.

Key West Florida Vacation & Holiday - Boycott


By: Tom Forrest

Why You Should Boycott Key West Florida for Vacations & Holidays.

I flew into Fort Lauderdale Florida and drove down to Key West Florida with my family for my Mother's birthday party. I wish someone would have warned my about the evil scams the Monroe County Sheriffs implement on innocent tourists. Most of the drive is one lane and it becomes clogged up during the high season in January and February, except over a few spots where there are two lanes going each way. I never speed and have never had a speeding ticket in my entire life, I was following a black Dodge Charger in the right lane and it seemed odd when this Dodge Charger pulled over into the left lane illegally not using his turn signal, indicating that he wanted me to go ahead of him, and it appeared he was waving to me to go ahead of him as we were just about to merge into one lane again. Since I am a courteous driver I accelerated slightly and then Sheriff Bubba the evil scammer pulled me over, he was driving an unmarked black Dodge Charger and had heinously lured me into his evil unethical trap. I told Sheriff Bubba that I was not even speeding and he lied and said I was going 72 miles per hour and gave me a ticket. I told him I knew he was preying on innocent tourists and doing an evil scam. He could not even look me in the eyes and turned his head away because we both knew exactly the devious tricks he pulled on me. Then when he handed me the ticket he told me he did not know what the amount of the ticket was, and this was just another lie, because he stays in the exact same spot all day long pulling the same evil scam on tourists all day long. We phoned my brother to warn him and my brother told me when he went by the same spot on the road Sheriff Bubba was giving a ticket to another innocent tourist. So if this has also happened to you please email me at tomforrest@htpcompany.com and I will publish your story for free and promote it all over the Internet on Google, Twitter and Facebook. This is a worthy endeavor to help stop terrible Monroe County Sheriff scams like this on innocent people. This is the USA and I do not want tourists from Europe and other parts of the world thinking Americans will tolerate this sort of crap. Sheriffs should be here to serve and protect people, not use dirty tricks to rip off innocent tourists.

Why does the Governor of Florida allow these dirty tricks by the Monroe County Florida Sheriff's Department?

It hurts tourism and now I am on a project to expose and help stop these evil scams.

Watch President Trump - Does Tylenol (Acetaminophen) cause Autism? - This is a debatable topic.



Current evidence does not show that Tylenol (acetaminophen) causes autism.
While some preliminary observational studies have suggested a statistical association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and neurodevelopmental conditions, larger, more rigorous studies have found no evidence of a causal link.

Two different models for regulating social media giants, explained. Listen to Alan Dershowitz about Online Free Speech.


By Tom Forrest

The 1st amendment rights of Google, Facebook, and Twitter must be terminated by new USA Federal laws.

USA Supreme Court Justice Thomas suggests regulating Big Tech platforms like utilities.


In the USA websites have the same 1st amendment constitutional rights as newspapers, to choose whether or not to carry, publish or withdraw the expression of others.

Congress enacted the Communications Decency Act (CDA) as Title V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 in an attempt to prevent minors from gaining access to sexually explicit materials on the Internet.

Section 230 of the CDA did not create or modify Big Tech's 1st amendment rights. The law merely ensures that courts will quickly dismiss lawsuits that would have been dismissed anyway on First Amendment grounds, with far less hassle, stress and expense.
At the scale of the billions of pieces of content posted by users every day, that liability shield is essential to ensure that website owners are not forced to abandon their right to moderate content by a tsunami of meritless but costly litigation.

As you can see Audrey has had a tough childhood, just kidding.


It is funny to me, that when Americans first go to Venice Italy, they say "please take me to Lido Island", the Italian's smile and know for sure you are an American visitor.
Because in Italian Lido means beach. So they just say let's go to the Lido.
 
Venice Italy is a fantastic place to visit and I hope to go back there someday.
It was many years ago, when I took a train ride with my daughter around Europe.
My daughter still talks about that trip today, and she is an adult now with a job as a Financial Controller for a large corporation.

Italian culture is unique and has many facets, Italy is steeped in the arts, family, pride of workmanship, loyalty to friends, architecture, music and food.
Home of the Roman Empire and a major center of the Renaissance, culture on the Italian peninsula that has flourished for hundreds of years.

If you are of Italian decent, then you may recognize some of these holiday traditions your Italian ancestors brought with them to America.

The Day of the Immaculate Conception
This observance begins on December 8th with the celebration of Mary’s Immaculate Conception. The famous Christmas markets are officially open for the season on this special day. Between the nativity scenes, staged plays, bonfires, and strung lights, Italian cities become Christmas wonderlands. There are far less tourists in the winter time.

Christmas Eve – Feast of the Seven Fishes
Known as “la Vigilla,” this observation celebrates the birth of Jesus at midnight, hence the widely attended tradition of Midnight Mass. Vowing not to eat meat until Christmas Day, many partake in the Feast of the Seven Fishes, or “Festa dei Sette Pesci.” Hailing from Southern Italy, the Feast of the Seven Fishes is more prominent with Italian Americans than with Italians.

La Befana
In the same way that children expect Santa Claus to stuff their stockings with presents, Italian children look for the witch, “la Befana” in Italian, to fill their shoes with gifts and candies. The difference is that Italian children wake up to presents on January 6th instead of Christmas morning.

January 6th marks the end of the Christmas celebrations, on Epiphany, when the Three Mages brought gifts to baby Jesus. As the story goes, the Three Wise Men met La Befana on their way to the manger in Bethlehem. Generous and humble, the old woman hosted the Wise Men in her cottage, giving them food and drink. In the morning, they invited her to join their trip. But she declined, only to regret her decision later. She hurriedly gathered gifts for Jesus but did not reach Bethlehem in time. Traveling the skies on her ragged broomstick, la Befana continues her search to this day, leaving treats for the nice children and coal for the naughty and evil children.
