Related storiesInstead, I send my kids to summer camp in Taipei because not only will my children have fun and learn, but they'll be doing so in Chinese. AdvertisementThe author can afford to send her kids to camp in Taipei thanks to the exchange rate and lower costs. Truthfully, many Taiwanese people will try to speak English to my kids even though my kids understand Chinese just fine. For an 8-day, 7-night sleep-away camp for teenagers, the cost for the entire camp would be $711.

☆ 6 things I wish I knew before setting foot on a cruise ship that all first-time cruisers should keep in mind
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-10 | by ( Joey Hadden | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: 1 min

Some cruise ship cabins can be rockier than others, like those situated at the front of the ship. Joey Hadden/Business InsiderBefore booking, I wish I'd researched how the location of a cabin can affect the amount of motion you feel while the ship is moving. My ocean-view stateroom was at the front of the ship, and I didn't expect to feel as much movement in my cabin as I did. Several seasoned cruisers on the voyage told me that the front of the ship was one of the worst places to feel motion. If you are as prone to motion sickness as I am, I suggest choosing a room in the middle of the ship.

Trevor needed tons of testing before he could even be considered for brain surgery. AdvertisementThat's essentially what he did in Trevor's brain.

If true, the loss of a Polish shopping center by means of Russian arson would be shocking on its own. As NATO advances toward the July summit, it's become clear that more comprehensive discussions on addressing the Russian sabotage campaign must take place. Some of the earliest identified acts of Russian sabotage occurred in 2014 at ammunition depots in the Czech Republic killing two and causing $42.5 million in damage. Bulgaria has played a crucial role in supplying ammunition and shells to Ukrainian forces, especially in the early stages of the war.

Natural gas futures have cleared their 200-day moving average and appear to have entered a long-term basing process. Given the potential for a long-term turnaround phase in natural gas prices, we were drawn to the energy sector as a source of potential long-term stock opportunities. Secondary resistance for natural gas comes from a Fibonacci retracement level near $3.50/MMBtu. How to play it One of the natural gas-related stocks that sets up well from a technical perspective is Cheniere Energy (LNG) , which is a provider of liquified natural gas.
