I had a $2000 excess and someone crashed into me. Hetrz did refund it when the blame was cleared but an expensive day out. A friend totalled a car in the USA 20 years ago leaving the lot, $12,000 of the company credit card. I use a broker for car hire comes with no excess.

Did anyone actually give you the story of the Bell Tower in Perth? The bells were a gift from the UK, they are actually the old bells from St Martins in the Field in London. When the tower was built there was nothing on the foreshore, Elizabeth Quay was not even planned so the tower looked quite nice and was a bit of a nod to WA winning the Americas Cup. However it should really have been at least twice as big as it is and I think it should have been in Kings Park. Some Smart Alec in the UK thought; what can we do with these old bells and then in a flash thought; lets give them to Western Australia and then they sat in storage for many years.

Good Evening Lee. I really liked seeing the Old Town of PAPHOS. A very well kept place, not a spec of rubbish anywhere. I really did Enjoy seeing the old Greek Achitecture, some very Lovely Greek Taverna's and places you could go and have a mooch along by. It those Beautiful old Wine Bottles could talk, what stories they would tell you?? The Greek Cypriot people, are very friendly and Welcoming. I do Love my Greek food, i would have a plate of Domalades and and Large Bowl of Greek Salad and treat myself to a Glass of Ouzo in the sunshine. Go out and Explore the Island and just try to go off the beaten track. You never know, what you might find and discover on your Greek Island Adventure. The History of a place can be very Interesting and you may learn something new.

There’s about another hundred levels of relaxing beyond that.. Do not stop it. It’s your key to sanity. That is living. Well, done. Do not stop. Chilling is better than any drug or alcohol. Pure stuff

@HisDudeness202310 ай бұрын
Chilling is spending your time as you see fit in a manner where you gain true relaxation . it’s different for each person was doing it when he was looking at the architecture and reflecting on the stories behind each of the buildings. Mature, it becomes a spiritual journey. For me, architecture, museum, natural beauty, or all things that cost me to relax. For me, the deepest relaxation is simply sitting at the beach and listening to the waves and smelling the salt air. I feel sorry for you that you have to ask. That’s rather shocking. It also means you have a very long journey to get there. It just doesn’t happen overnight. You have to change the way you think about the world. What does chilling mean in slang? In slang terms, "chill", "chillax", and "chilling" are all related to the idea of being relaxed and calm. Here are their specific meanings: "Chill" - This term is often used to describe a state of being relaxed or calm. It can also mean to hang out or spend time with friends in a casual, low-key way.
