Does anyone recommend traveling alone to new cities?

dropofrain @dropofrain (1167) • India 29 May 09

Have you ever traveled alone and do you recommend traveling alone? I am now on my summer break and i feel like traveling to new cities. There are trade-offs either way. While I think it's nice to travel with others, I certainly...

littlebeansprout I'm a very adventurous person so yes, I have traveled alone to cities and states that I'm not familiar with. Traveling alone gives me the freedom to do what I want. I deon't have to worry about anyone else. It's a good feeling.

When you see an interracial couple, does it bother you?

tcwrightqb10 @tcwrightqb10 (47) • United States 29 May 09

Personally, i have no problem with interracial couples. Some people however are not like that. For example... in some parts of our country, if you see a black man with a white woman, it is totally unacceptable. Why? I think its...

littlebeansprout I don't think it really should matter to anyone. It's the couples choice. And if they love each other than why not?

Do you keep books you most enjoyed?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 29 May 09

If I read a library book and I really enjoy it I tend to buy a copy of it. I might read it again one day but it feels lovely to own a book that I really love. I find it challenging to send books to the charity shop. My book case...

littlebeansprout I'm like you! I borrow from the library and if I like it I'll go out and buy it. I usually buy books that I know I'll read again. I love owning books, especially in hardback. I usually keep the classics like Gone With The Wind and buy trilogies (LOTR) or...

Are you self centred in mylot platform?

akumei1269 @akumei1269 (1749) • India 29 May 09

littlebeansprout I try to stay away from discussions that deal with Politics or Religion. Just because they both don't interest me enough. Also, I don't even vote so what do I have to say? I'm also a baaaad Catholic. I just don't have much to say on either subject.

littlebeansprout I guess it's the new thing now? This is not the first time I have heard about this. I don't know. I guess since a guy is involved with the baby too that maybe they should start inviting men? It's not the 50's anymore.

littlebeansprout I haven't seen a "wild" turtle in years! When driving to West Virginia once there were a lot of turtles on the road. We tried not to hit them but it was fun looking back at them spinning around after we went over them! No harm done to the turtle, of course.

Do you choose music according to your moods? Or will any music do?

PeacefulWmn9 @PeacefulWmn9 (10420) • United States 25 May 09

I think music is one the beautiful things in life available to us. I do choose what to listen to according to my mood. If I am sad, for instance, I might listen to sad songs as a way to express how I am feeling. Songs often say it...

littlebeansprout I listen to a variety of music. When I walk upbeat music keeps my pace. In the car, 80's music or soundtracks. They are easier to sing along with. Classical when I'm relaxing. When I'm sad I try not to listen to sad songs. For some reason they just don't work...

littlebeansprout Believe it or not I hate getting my haircut! So if my bangs are getting a bit long and the other part of my hair still looks okay, I'll cut my bangs myself. At times I'll get them too short but it always grows back.
