Web of Links: Week 2

-


Time for my weekly round-up of the random things I've found on the Internet this week. Expect everything from burgers to barbies to beyonce.

1. Arrested Development Season 4 announced - Another Netflix exclusive was announced this week. I think soon there'll be no new TV series on actual TVs if we keep up this pace. 

2. Create your own in-flight meal - Everyone know in-flight meals are generally pretty rubbish, but what if you could create your own? Now you can on one Latvian airline. 

3. Stereotypical US tourists - Photos of US tourists from the 80s and 90s...my only observation on this is that they flaunted their bodies a lot more back then, seems they're now very unconfident in their bodies in the US. (The fact they aren't wearing tiny clothes like back then is definitely not necessarily a bad thing!)

4. Overly Attachment Boyfriend - Well, this is hilarious. Apart from maybe the ending.

5. The Science of Cats - Cats are a lot more complex than I thought.






11. Airline trials pay-as-you-weigh fares - Very good idea. Airplane fuel is expensive. If you weigh more, you pay more. Simple.

12. The Ultimate Burger - Those of you who know me well, know that I love my food.


14. Donate free food to charity - It's a site I've visited many times but it's worth a mention. Answer questions, donate rich to charity for free. All paid for by advertising. Simple. 




18. What iOS 7 for iPhone could look like - A fan made video showing what people really want on their phones in the next iOS update. 





23. PayTango Lets You Pay With the Touch of a Finger - interesting concept. Could it take off?

A post reminiscing about the Walt Disney World International College Program

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it. I had already done one set of working for Disney back in 2011 at Disneyland Paris and I suppose to some extent I expected my ICP to be very similar, but longer. I was prepared for more heat, for more guests and (hopefully!) less of a language barrier in the US. This all proved true - sure Florida was hotter than Paris, yes the Magic Kingdom is the world’s busiest theme park and yes (for the most part) I didn’t have to tra

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
