Season 1, Episode 16 – As Valentine’s Day approaches, Adrianna’s pregnancy now becomes the talk of the entire school as her ‘baby bump’ begins to show, while Navid continues to ignore her and grows more closer to Nika. Meanwhile, Silver asks Naomi for help in planning to make the best Valentine’s Day ever for Dixon by setting up a dinner at the hotel where Naomi is now living at. But later, Dixon freaks out when Silver gets a much too permanent tattoo of their love to try to bring them back together. Also, Ethan’s friendship with Rhonda continues to blossom which makes Annie very jealous, while she begins taking acting workshop lessons and tries to find her own motivation. Elsewhere, Naomi meets Liam Court, a bartender at the hotel in which they click romantically at once, but suspicion plagues Naomi as to whom Liam is when he does not want to talk about his personal life.

There are many places that you can go on an travel adventure. Regardless of where you intend on travelling, always be sure to check out all of your options. Going on vacation is best when you are going to a place you’ll enjoy. North Africa is a wonderful place to visit at any time of the year. Not only is this continent very large, there are hundreds of interesting places to see. Algeria, Egypt, and Libya are three must see countries in Africa.

Although Algeria is not visited much, there are still many wonderful things to see here. The biggest of them all is perhaps the Sahara Desert. The sheer size of this desert will pull you in and keep you occupied in whatever adventure travel you choose to embark upon. You will also see many great Roman ruins in Algeria. This makes the country a great place for those interested in history.

No adventure travel would be complete without touring the ancient country of Egypt. The magnificent Pyramids of Giza and the White Desert are just two of the wonders in this place. If water travelling is your desire you will want to check out the Nile River. Be careful of the crocodiles though! The Nile is a beautiful place rich with life. People say it may very well be the lifeline of the entire continent of Africa.  Read more...

Although not a large country by any means, the city-state of Singapore packs in a large variety of delightful experiences and attractions that have fascinated countless visitors around the world. The mixture of multicultural ethnic practices and Western influences, along with the country’s reputation of being a safe and clean country, is a winning formula for drawing in both tourists and business travelers. However, Singapore is not among the cheapest countries in the Southeast Asian region, which begs the question whether visitors on a tight budget can easily find a good variety of budget accommodation here. 

This issue is certainly no cause for concern, as there are many cheap Singapore hotels that provide a guest experience that is not much inferior to their luxury counterparts. All guests’ basic accommodation needs are satisfied with the availability of cable television and cozy, fully air-conditioned rooms. By staying in these hotels, you have more money to indulge in the acclaimed dining, shopping and touring experiences in Singapore. 

Cheap Singapore hotels are located in both the downtown areas and residential neighbourhoods. Two prominent names in Singapore budget accommodation are Fragrance Hotel and Hotel 81. I shall now shed more light about the characteristics of a few districts which you can consider staying in. 

Little India 

For more adventurous travelers who want to experience authentic local flavours of Singapore while staying in low cost accommodation, the Little India district fits the bill. This area has among the cheapest accommodation on the island, with a choice of hostels for backpackers, budget hotels and still-affordable middle-ranged hotels.   Read more...

I’m pretty sure that by now you’ve heard at least one story about getting a dirt cheap car at a U.S. government car auction. Or maybe you just happen to be learning about them now. Whatever the case may be, these FAQs will give you a clearer picture when it comes to U.S. government car auctions.

1. What is a U.S. government car auction?

These auctions are just like any other car auction you would go to, except they are conducted by the U.S. government. When the government seizes cars because of unpaid taxes, illegal activities, etc. those cars are put up for auction to the public. So you can get a good, well maintained car for dirt cheap because at this point the government just wants to get rid of them.

2. What type of cars do they have there?

You can find all types of cars there. From classic cars to one that are only 1-2 years old. You’ll also find a lot of luxury vehicles there from people who owed back taxes, in addition to cars from Honda, Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, etc.

3. How much do they cost?

This all depends on what type of car you are looking at, how many people are there, the day, the weather, etc. All things aside, you will still save hundreds and even thousands less than what you would pay anywhere else. Just recently a 2004 BMW 745i sold for around $3,500 at a car auction near me. So, you can go there with a few thousand and still be ahead of the game.  Read more...
