What's imagined when hearing the word “Casino”?

Probably you depict a group of exquisitely dressed ladies and gentlemen with glasses of expensive alcohol at the roulette table. What do you say to internet-casinos? There are quite a lot of popular sites of online casino in America - Sites USA, Online Casinos for USA Players or Best US Poker Sites.

A game in the internet has its own advantages. First of all there is no need to put on a suit and a tie. You can play the game sitting in front of your PC in pajamas and a slice of pizza in your hand. What’s more – online casinos offer a variety of games to try your luck and hit the jackpot.

On the other hand there is a fly in the ointment in this money-making business. Some players are already addicted to gambling and internet gambling is like adding fuel to the fire which may lead to catastrophic consequences. As for me I haven’t tried to play and find it unreasonable to waste both time and money stacking and trying hopelessly to catch your luck by the skin of its teeth.

Crabs, the Little Boy and the Big Rat

He finds himself sitting having a drink with this other guy and little boy. He is fond of the little boy. This place where they are having a drink is at the side of a lake. Seems like everyone else here is of Chinese origin. There is a food truck nearby and more in the area. Suddenly this guy who looked like a Malay man comes up to the table and asks us whether we want to order some crabs. He likes to eat crabs very much especially big crabs. But today is not the night to eat crabs. He only wants to have a hot drink.

All of sudden a big rat runs towards the table. The little boy got scared and immediately stood up and ran away. To his surprise, the boy leapt into the lake to get away from the incoming rat. He was shocked and quickly got up to get the boy out of the lake. He picked up the boy and then caught the rat and dumped it into a pool nearby. Then he climbed back up to the sitting area and proceeded to go to the toilet and clean himself up.

Upon returning to the table he found that his friend and the little boy had gone to meet the man who was selling crabs before. The man showed him the top most crab and offered to sell it to them for $20 and also showed them two blue crabs which he said was for eating later and cost $15. The man was shocked to hear the ridiculous prices for the crabs. He said to the seller in Malay language, ”Kepala hotak kau!” which means “Your head is wrong” in English. He thought to himself, “I can buy a much bigger crab for half the price elsewhere.”

Stone Walkway Makes River Look Deceptively Shallow

As I was walking swiftly away from the Popcorn stand, having paid the girl with a handful of lettuce leaves I reached the bank of a fairly wide river. I was on a hill and could see the other side of the river bank about 200 meters away. The water was calm but had a dark deep color about it. This made me nervous. There was a straight walkway of stones parting the river through to the other side. The water surrounding this walkway was of a much lighter tone and this made the river look deceptively shallow. Why is nobody using this crossing? There is nobody on the other side of the bank. I am worried about crocodiles or any other river monsters jumping out and grabbing any passer-bys. I would not want to cross the river without a shotgun in both of my hands pointing to the sides.
