A Thousand Splendid Suns

Like I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I really would like to go back to reading  books.  I think it’s about time I lessen the time I spend sitting in front of my computer. So yesterday after our dinner in a nearby German restaurant, we dropped by this small bookstore that sells foreign language books. I was so delighted when I saw Khaled Hosseini’s “A Thousand Splendid Suns” that I took it immediately to the cashier. I read Hosseini’s first novel, “the Kite Runner” and I remember crying buckets while reading it.

I still have some books waiting on the line to be read. I also have some German books I got from my husband. He bought these to encourage my interest in the German language. But the German books can wait. First I have to read “A Thousand Splendid Suns”.

Hikers and Hunters

It is fall and this season means that it is very nice to take a walk through the forest. If you are a hiker it is better to stay away from hunting areas to avoid accidents. Also, try to make sound (like a whistle) while you hike and better wear some bright clothing so that if there are hunters around, they will recognize your presence immediately.

If you are a hunter, make no mistake. You must be properly geared and you must have some real good hunting optics with you like Nikon Monarch and Trailblazer Binoculars. These hunting optics are state of the art gears preferred by most professional outdoorsmen and hunters because of their precision. If you don’t have such equipments yet, you can visit NikonHunting.com and browse through their line of binoculars. They have a promo at the moment so if you purchase from them now, you’ll be receiving worth 25$-50$ gift cards. This promo will run until December 31, 2008 but you only have a few days left before the end of the hunting season so hurry if you want to catch up with the other hunters.

Infrared Sauna

Last week, my friends and I went to check out the newly opened wellness center in our apartment block and the center is really impressive. It’s huge and it has almost everything. A gym, a ballet dance room, yoga room, ballroom, squash court, tennis tables, and a lot more but the things that impressed me most are the swimming pool and the infrared sauna. This morning, we got the chance to swim and we didn’t leave the center without trying the sauna.

For me it was really good because I felt relaxed afterwards. Taking a sauna is good because it can help people with rheumatoid arthritis, joint stiffness, low blood pressure, ulcer, high blood pressure, asthma and a lot more. This is the reason why more and more people are installing far infrared saunas in their homes. So in the future when we’ll have our own house, we will definitely install one those infrared saunas .
