    I appreciate the encouragement. It will be much easier to do once I'm out of college and, hopefully, land a job as a pharmacist.

    I'm sure it will :) But traveling abroad isn't as nice as most people think, at least not when you have to fly for 8 hours or more! Jet lags are not nice at all, to be honest I haven't traveled that far for pleasure, so far I have traveled that far because I really had to, lol. I like short trips... sitting in a plane for too long is awful.

    I had a lot of work leave so I thought I'd clear them all by taking a long holiday. I've always wanted to visit Hong Kong because I love Hong Kong movie productions. Yeah, it was a good experience but it was really tiring.

    Yeah, being in a plane for an hour from Tampa to Atlanta is bad enough. I'm really not looking forward to the long flights. I drive 8 hours up to Dunwoody, Georgia once or twice every year, but that can't be as bad as flying for 8 hours. At least I can stop when I need to and walk around outside as opposed to walking in the aisles to stretch.

    Yes, i traveled to Dubai, that place is so humid my hair got all messed up, i wish i had planned something about my hair, it was a total wreck, didn't stay for long though only a total of four days, therefore my sightseeing was shortlived! I plan on traveling again though i don't really think Dubai is on my list for now.

    I'd love to visit Dubai one day. Did you see any rare cars or supercars while you were there?

    I do, Levi. LOL, I don't want to imagine the rest of my life living here, not at all. I would like something different, I'd miss the food here but that's not strong enough to keep me here :p

    Really? What city? I'd love to visit Andalucia, but there is a place a city I'm really eager to visit... Granada! Visiting Cordova would also be nice, my family is originally from that zone. They had to leave the country a long time ago due persecution, which followed them :(

    I can imagine, I was in a really humid country some months ago... Humid weather is the worst for your hair! Suddenly it seemed like I had some sort of weird afro. Not looking forward to going back for that reason, but odds are I will soon.

    I haven't :( I'd like to, but I have a pretty strong aversion to airplanes (anxiety) so it's pretty much not going to happen. My boyfriend wants me to go to Japan with him sometime in the next year or so, and I'm not prepared for that at all. I'll be bracing myself for it for half a year, probably.

    Yeah, i had to ditch the comb, i was so envious of the arab women...their hair was over-flawless in all that humidity and here i was looking like i had just stepped out of the 70's! with an afro :wacky:.

    Yeah, it looks like Arab women have a really nice hair texture! Very thick hair, it seems! The sister of a friend of mine has such a thick hair that never ever looks frizzy! Mine is a mess! She is Egyptian, by the way.

    I know what you mean, when I first started traveling by plane I felt so tense, but they say that traveling by plane is way safer than traveling by car. I know that's hard to believe after reading about that missing flight, but fortunately we are not in Malaysia. So take it easy :)

    It's not so much a fear of the plane itself, but just the lack of control. If I freak out, I'm stuck there, on a plane, with random strangers I don't know and will never see again. I feel like I have more control in my car. =/
