A Texas Homecoming
Greetings, Vocal readers and subscribers! Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a familiar place that I haven't been to in almost 15 years. I've expressed my love for my hometown of Arlington, Texas in numerous stories on Vocal. Fow two days, it was my time to do some sight-seeing and nothing more. This long overdue vacation was solely about me, not about visiting family, as I've been estranged from them since 2011. I'll share a collage of pictures from my two-day stay in Arlington throughout this story. Just for reference, I took over 200 photos, so not every one of them will be featured.

How Much For A Cup of Coffee? The Most Expensive Coffee In London
People might argue that Coffee is an American import, which came over during the early 90s, when coffee shops started spring up all over London. Coffee has been part of the London scene for centuries, in fact as far back as 1652.

The Top 10 Traditional French Dishes That Warm the Heart
French cuisine is not only about fine dining or artistic plates. At its core, it is home cooking. It is the smell of butter melting gently in a pan, onions slowly turning golden, herbs filling the kitchen with warmth. These are dishes that have been passed down through generations. Recipes we watched our parents and grandparents prepare. Meals that comfort, gather people together, and awaken memories.

Where Hills Speak and Water Remembers:
When I first saw Nazareth’s skyline rising from the Galilean hills, it felt more like stepping into a long-held memory than just arriving somewhere new. Stone buildings tumbled down the slopes, with minarets and bell towers reaching into the same sky. Still, I was drawn to one place above all: the striking, modern Basilica of the Annunciation.

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.
