Generous Slovenian Hotels

Stacy and I have been thinking of getting away for a couple days. We came accross this place that has a room with a lot of extras built into the price. What do you think? Should we go? I mean common, they're just giving away electricity.

Running on Empty

I found this article, and I thought you would be interested to read it:

According to a recent study by AIRINC, a research firm that tracks cost of living data, as reported by CNNMoney.com, the most expensive place in the world to fill up your tank is Bosnia-Herzegovina at $10.86 a gallon. Here are some other pricy places:

Bosnia-Herzegovina: $10.86
Eritrea (In north Africa): $9.58
Norway: $8.73
United Kingdom: $8.38
Netherlands: $8.37

There are other countries rich and poor that are still enjoying cheap gas:

Venezuela: 12 cents
Iran: 40 cents
Saudi Arabia: 45 cents
Libya: 50 cents
Swaziland: 54 cents

Believe me, we walk as much as we can! I (Travis) always walk to work, and Stacy walks to the grocery store about 70% of the time. We only use our car twice a week if we need to get into town for something. We drove a total of 6000 miles in our car last year, and we're looking for ways to reduce even that.

It's Like Watching a Car Crash

One of the longest running shows in the world, and one of the most watched is the Eurovision song contest. Such greats(ironic) as ABBA and The Olsen Brothers have been winners at Eurovison. As an American, I can't really grasp how this yearly event is considered entertainment, and I may never understand the popularity with Eurovision. On the other hand we (the USA) created WWF ('nuf said). After watching this year's entry by Bosnia-Herzegovina, I HAD to share it with my friends (please remain my friend even after watching this). Oh, and NO... the Bosnian version is no better, except for the live fowl on stage. If you have to see that one too, here's the link
