Re: WORDS

A helicophile is something that loves spirals — and few creatures qualify for the label more strongly than Osmia bicolor, also known as the snail shell nesting bee.

Re: Best burgers in Udon

It's too bad Harvey's isn't in Khon Kaen. The best part is you get to choose your own toppings so you can have ice in your root beer and pass on the mushy peas for your cheeseburger. It's up to you. https://www.google.ca/search?q=harvey%27s+cheeseburger+and+fries+with+a+drink+toronto&tbm=isch&ved=2a...

Some of them are isolated enough to be accessible only by hiking the dense trails through the jungle. These blue and green hued bodies of wate...

This Bill is designed to root out anyone/groups who commit acts that might be seen as traitorous to Hong Kong or to the Government of China.
