Quote from Wikipedia:
New York City, which is the largest city in the United States, is known for its history as a gateway for immigration to the United States and its status as a financial, cultural, transportation, and manufacturing center. It was named after the 17th century Duke of York, James Stuart, future James II and VII of England and Scotland.
New York was inhabited by the Algonquin, Iroquois, and Lenape Native American groups at the time Dutch and French nationals moved into the region in the early 17th century. First claimed by Henry Hudson in 1609, the region came to have Dutch forts in Fort Orange, near the site of the present-day capital of Albany in 1614 and was colonized by the Dutch in 1624, at both Albany and Manhattan; it later fell to British annexation in 1664. About one third of all of the battles of the Revolutionary War took place in New York. New York became an independent state on July 9, 1776 and enacted its constitution in 1777. The state ratified the United States Constitution on July 26, 1788 to become the 11th state. According to the US Department of Commerce, it is also the state of choice for foreign visitors, leading both Florida and California in tourism.
Blogging is an online activity millions of people all over the world do for both fun and profit. And frankly, if you are just interested in keeping a “web log” of personal events, thoughts and pictures for your friends and family to enjoy, this article is not for you. But if you want to turn your blogging into money in your pocket, read on.
Profit blogging is an entirely different activity than blogging for fun.

And the purpose is to create a high-quality, high-traffic, high-profit blog that makes you money.

South Korea a land that I lived for close to a year,We finally left for good.Let me tell you what I will miss about this country and its people. To do that i must also also write about the things that i will not miss.
Airport:South Korean Airport is one of the best in terms of neatness,structure,checking in and they even have a play ground for children,there is also Korean cultural musical display area where you can listen to Korean music playing live.To me it the best airport in the world,at least in my world but if you know of any other please let me know.
Hospital:If I am given a chance to take away only one thing from South Korea it be their Ulsan teaching hospital. The equipments are world class and up to date,the clean environment minus the smell of a hospital but fresh and clean air. You get treated first without any mention of how you are going to pay the bills,your health comes first and when you want to leave a receipt is given to you which you either take to a cashier or pay with your credit card on machines placed around the hospital.
Language:I picked up the basic language which is useless because Korean language is not spoken any other country in the world. Koreans don’t speak the English language which i found very odd considering all the English tutorial the attend everyday. (more…)
Having tried the “get paid to take surveys” and finding out that there just was not anyway I was going to make any money with the “get paid to take surveys” scam I decieded to see what I could about the “get paid to shop” and the “mystery shopping” programs. I bought a list of places to apply as a “paid shopper” or “mystery shopper” and found to my dismay that no one on the list needed a “shopper” or had dicountinued the program quite a while ago. When I tried, many times, to contact the person who had sold me the list without any reply to the e-mails or never being able to get a call back after leaving messages on his voice mail I soon found that the contact e-mail address was no longer valid and the contact phone number was out of service”. When I tried contacting my credit card company to try and get my money back I found to my dimay that the trial period of three day and passed and there wasn not any recourse but to kiss the money good-by.
All in all I have found that the “paid to shop” is similar to the paid survey scam. In paid survey scams you are asked to pay a fee in order to access a list of companies that pay you to take surveys. In paid to shop scams, you simply pay for a list of companies that pay you to shop at their own stores and to evaluate the experience. (more…)
