The Kids in the Hall
The Kids in the Hall is a Canadian comedy troupe who got wildly successful when they became famous with their own sketch show of the same name and backed by fellow Canadian and Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels. Nothing is off limits and nothing is taboo with them and they are known for doing skits in drag. The Kids in the Hall do a lot of sketches about office humour too and they are still together. Scot Thompson one of the troupe members is gay and so it made an avenue for comedy from the gay perspective. Honestly, I never saw anything like the Kids in the Hall before and i have been watching ever since it came on Comedy Central right after Dr. Katz Professional Therapist.

Bob and Margaret
Bob and Margaret is an adult animated program about a dentist and a podiatrist and their fur babies and their everyday lives and goings on in a London suburb. It is zany misadventures of being married in the United Kingdom and everywhere else for that matter. The sitcom starts off in England and then ends up in Canada when Bob and Margaret and their fur babies have to flee from England because of a misunderstanding that left them off to become social pariahs. They go to Canada because they have family there who agree to take them into their home.

Q Zaka
at the local mall where I like to go there is a store that specializes in Japanese culture and Pop Culture as well as culture in general. There was a section that offered Japanese snack food such as pocky and a japanese soda. At the back of the store there is a section of anime dolls and also other merchandise associated with all of the shows that are sold there.

Last Night in Soho
Last Night in Soho is a horror crime drama movie that takes place in London but more to the point in Soho. I would definitely recommend this movie. A brief summary on the film is it is about a fashion student living in London who somehow she witnesses a life of someone else and it is important to note that she is in love with the 1960's and then somehow she enters the life of a lounge singer in a soho nightclub who she thinks dies but there is a twist she enters the past life of a neighbor living in an adjoining flat.

The teas of the world
The world has given us all such wonderful tea and I have always and forever loved a cup of tea myself. Jamaica has a wonderful pomergranent tea and there is also a lovely tea from France which is French Vanilla. India has a tea that is a delicious orange flavoured tea. Last Christmas my cousin had gifted me a tea set called "Teas of the World". Through this tea set I am taking a trip around the world. Currently, I am drinking Chinese Tea and than after that I conclude my tea trip around the world in Japan.

Tinkertown's Carnival World:
By Brian D'Ambrosio Tucked into the ponderosa pines of the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Tinkertown Museum is a hand-built labyrinth of imagination, humor, and eccentricity. More than a roadside attraction, it is a folk-art environment—part carnival, part curiosity cabinet, and part autobiography—created by one man with an inexhaustible drive to turn ordinary junk into wonder. That man was Ross J. Ward, a carnival painter, sculptor, and tinkerer whose restless creativity produced one of the most enchantingly eccentric places in America.

English Breakfast Tea
I love a good cup of English Breakfast tea. Who doesn't? Do you know what is a perfect compliment to English Breakfast tea? The perfect compliment at least in my opinion is that of a nice piece of delectable Carrot Cake. Tea is always a wonderful beverage and another celebrated English custom that is partaken with tea is tea and crumpets and tea and biscuits and i would one day love to participate in the tradition. Like i take my coffee I take my tea with nothing but that of straight and black with no sugar or cream and that's it.

American Motels vs. Hotels
If you ask most Americans today what the difference is between a motel and a hotel, you’ll likely get a shrug. “They’re the same thing, right? One is just cheaper?” No, not quite. The difference between a motel and a hotel isn’t just about price or star ratings. It’s about how America moved, how it paused, and how it learned to travel.

10 Times Tourists Completely Ruined Priceless History
There’s something magnetic about ancient architecture and historic artifacts. Whether it’s a crumbling amphitheater, a sacred temple high in the mountains, or a centuries-old painting in a quiet chapel, we’re drawn to these places. Maybe it’s the mystery. Maybe it’s the legends. Maybe it’s the simple realization that these structures have survived hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.
