We can spend one hour eating. That is because our plane was late. Yeah, we're definitely going to get some food guys. Yes. Food is on the agenda. So it is dinner time here in Bombay. Yep, so here in Mumbai we found well we basically found Mexican food. Oh lah lah. Where we are actually waiting like if you were to go to another food section we'd have to exit through security. That is a pain so there isn't a lot of restaurant options here. So we found this spot it looked kind of comfortable and yeah most of the food was like Mexican, American burgers and International. International they had like tamales and stuff like that so yeah we're just gonna. The cheese. It looks good. So this kind of tastes like doritos out of a bag with like some cheese whiz, tomatoes, beans. So it is not bad. For Mexican food in India I can't really complain. Yeah, it is not going to win any awards but it hits the spot. Mmmhmm. We're hungry. And I can't believe we're hungry. We ate on the plane and we ate before we got on the plane. I had breakfast. You can't believe we're hungry. We're always hungry. And then the second order has arrived. We got a vegetable fondue and it comes with toast, bread and fries. Let's try that fondue. Dip it in. It is not bad. Yeah, it is pretty good. Pretty good. Thumbs up. Thumbs up. And this is the part where we've become irredeemable piggies. Okay, all Sam had to do was go and order one dessert and he comes back and he's like I think I accidentally ordered two. How does that happen? I couldn't decide between the two. Accidentally. Accidentally. So we've got um that one is fudge tort. Okay. And this one over here is brownie. So ooh. Yeah, why don't you try them both. It is like a chocolate extravaganza. Yeah. Yummy? That is good. Let's try this one too. Oooh. Wow. Mmmm. Decadent. Do you like one more than the other? The tort. Mmmm. Tort for the wine. Here is a little secret. I packed the deodorant in my checked luggage so I haven't put some on in a while but I've just went through the duty free and grabbed some perfume and spff.

India to Canada flying with British Airways travel vlog (Kolkata - Mumbai - London - Toronto) Part22/25/2019 Uh, cabbage. So a little bit of everything and yeah my mouth is already on fire. But this is really tasty and let's show yours next. Alright, so I decided to get a cheese dosa. I'm just going to unwrap it for you guys. Look at that thing of beauty.
Time to roll is back up. You can see the melted cheese in there. So I'm just going to rip that bad boy in half and yeah I've got lots of dipping sauces. This is pretty cool. Something that looks like dal. That looks like a spicy one. No idea what that one is. It is probably a curd or a yoghurt based sauce. The white one. Oh man that is good. Oh yeah, the food just keeps coming. So we got paneer. Um, basically deep-fried momos which are the typical Indian style dumplings and man these look good. These look really good. They look like little packages. They do. And they are piping hot. I literally just picked them up. Maybe too hot. And the paneer for anyone who doesn't know is like the Indian type of cottage cheese so it should be really good. I dipped it in what appears to be like a palak sauce. A spinach sauce. Oh wow. Oh man. Yeah, those are good. You can see the cheese in there. Look at how much is in there. They are plump. Generously stuffed. Mmmhmm. Yeah, plump is a good word to describe them. Well, well time to indulge your sweet tooth Audrey. Ready to do the honors. Here we go. Oh my look at that. Hahaha...that looks messy. Oh is there chocolate inside? Oh woah. Look at that. How is it? It is kind of like a chocolate muffin. Is it? It is like doughy chocolate inside. When I first saw it I thought oh it kind of looks like a brownie inside. Yeah, like a brownie. You're right. It is more like a brownie than a muffin. Oh okay. Status update with Audrey Bergner. Status update. We're going to our gate and we should be boarding in an hour and then we'll be in Mumbai. You know what? We''ll have 5 or 6 hours to kill. This has been a really comfortable airport. It is not too crowded, it is very modern. I think it opened not too long ago. Lots of really good services. Good restaurants. It is so cold. The AC. I like. I love the AC. It is like winter in here. This is colder than Canada. Hahaha. No it is not. Rabbato. Wake-y wakey. Leg one of three completed. We made it to Bombay and now we're picking up our bags. And they didn't give us our like boarding passes for the other two legs of the journey. India to Canada flying with British Airways travel vlog (Kolkata - Mumbai - London - Toronto) Part12/25/2019 Only two. Well I think you can guess where we are. Back at the airport. Back at the airport. So yeah, this is it for us in India. We have got a lot flights ahead of us.
Why don't you tell us about those. Well okay. Haha. So initially we were thinking of traveling around Asia a little bit longer. Yeah. But honestly it has been like seven or eight months. No, it has been longer. It has been closer to nine I think. Yeah. Anyways, it has been a long time and we're feeling a little bit tired. We're missing family, we also want to visit our pets. So we're heading back to Canada. Yeah, and there is a new addition to Audrey's family. Yeah, so we have a German Shepherd. It is kind of sad but my two cats and my dog past away in the last year. In the last few months. Yeah. So we'll be meeting my German Shepard Togo. My pup brother. Togo. I already call him Wolfie. He looks like a little wolf. Yeah, he is really cute. We can't wait to meet him for the 1st time. So first things first we're at the Food Boulevard inside the airport and we're going to go get some food because we didn't have a very big breakfast. And I'm hungry and Sam is hungry and the food looks good here. Sam was kind enough to go get me food and I'm having some stir-fried noodles with vegetables. What you got looks really good as well. I know. What did you get? Haha. Sneak peak over here. I got cheese dosa and one of my favorite Indian desserts - Jalebi. So and that is not all. You went to another little stand for Momos. There is more momos and the best part about the more momos is that there is going to be two kinds of them. So there is a chocolate add on. Oh. Yeah. Dessert. That is a surprise. So we have paneer momos and chocolate momos coming. So pour dear Audrey over here has a bit of a cold. Oh my gosh it won't go away. Anyways I'm really interested in this spork. A spoon and a fork. Spork. Is it actually what it is called? Rolled into one. I think so. Or did you just invent a name. No, I'm pretty sure there is such a thing as a spork. And this is still steaming. Wow. Let's see how it is. It looks pretty good. So they had the choice between Sichuan and Garlic sauce but they said the Sichuan sauce was too hot so I got you garlic. Because I know your throat is a little sore too. Mmmm. How is that? This is spicy too. Is it? Oh no. A little spicy but I like that is has vegetables. We've got carrots. Oh my gosh. Carrots, peas, corn. What was I going to talk about today? Well, here we are the subject of the day and Jordan loved the monks coffee ago love my espresso there you go fantastic, the four things all cruise lines. Don'T really want you to pay attention to just ignore these little things. We know they exist, but we don't really watch it. It key try to play here.
You know, it'll just upset you or it might it might cause you some concern about that. The number one thing well, there's four things and the first one on the list is the casino, the onboard casino. If you think that the slot machines on us on a on a cruise ship or just like the slot machines in Las Vegas, I got bad news for you. The slots do not have the same payouts as Las Vegas slots. Slot machines in Las Vegas are kind of regulated and they have to fit within a certain zone of payout, and I think that I'm not sure if it's a law in air in Nevada or not whether or not casinos actually have to make available the slot payouts To the public, I don't know if they actually have to release it, but I do know that over the years I had seen the slot payouts posted by old magazines and pay and and and felt periodicals that keenly follow the casino business in Nevada and that, if You really want to find out what the payout on slot machines are on the strip for in downtown or at say, Sam's Club off the strip or one of these kinds of places. You can do that on a cruise ship they don't actually have to post. Thus, the odds at all they have to give you the payouts on the slot machines, just safe to say that from industry experts, the slot machine payouts on cruise ships are awful, they're really bad, and you may find that you can. You can always win five bucks. You can win seven bucks. You can win four dollars, sometimes even three dollars, but you just can't seem to pick up a $ 200 winner and you just can't get a $ 500 winner and you're hanging around the casino for a seven-day cruise you're in the casino. Like five or six nights for a couple hours a night and you never ever witnessed anyone winning $ 1,000 $ 1,500 ever ever, I kind of wonder well, there's 150 250 slot machines around here, they're all over the place. There'S 400 people. Here'S pack we're all smoking drinking pumping money into these machines, there's a guy playing with dollars dollar machine. Here this one's playing the quarter machine, there's a bunch of nickel machines, vending machines and with a penny machine, you know, with maximum play you're playing $ 3.00 a shot four dollars a shot. You never hear anyone winning $ 1,000. Here people win twenty fifty fifteen five. They just put that right back in the machine, because it's not enough to you know give up on which is the point. The casino never wants you to stop gambling until you run out of money, so there you go. I got lucky one time on a slot machine, but it owned me. I was on the last night of a cruise and I've been on them in the slot licious and the casino for five or six of the seven nights, and I was on the last night and I was on a machine and I got I got fortunate. I caught a bonus round and I got seven free games and in the third free game I got another bonus thing pop-up, which gave me another seven games with a higher payout and then number four or five spins. And now I got another free, seven games and this quadrupled the payouts on each of the free game and I had a couple of other bonus rounds that came through and I was now playing with maximum money. Every roll because was house money now trying to get some money back from this casino, and I walked out of there with 750 bucks. I had a hundred bucks in there and walked, though there was like eight fifty seven fifty more and I would jogged over to the front desk of the of the screw ship. The front desk and checked inquired. As to my balance, owing on my room, account saw the number and promptly handed over $ 750 in cash towards that balance, who bring it down a little bit to make it a bit more palpable for my credit card to take the rest, because all the on Board charges and the other casino losses were still on there and I wanted to eliminate as much as I could when I was kind of grateful. It happened on the last night because the next day I couldn't gamble, we had to get off the ship. So that's how that one went, but that was the only time I ever want any kind of money slot machine that was just trying to get some of what I was already into it for back. So I'm curious have any of you out there been on us on a cruise where someone has actually won something, like I mean significant winnings on a slot machine. I mean any significance yeah. You know we all hear the story of someone putting in 20 bucks and they went a hundred. Oh yeah, great, you know 100 bucks, but I mean there's anyone out there, one unless something big and you witnessed it or you heard the commotion and went over to see what was going on and there it is 7. 7. 7. 7. Did you ever see something like that, because I haven't witnessed that I've witnessed it in Vegas? I'Ve witnessed it in in a number of times in Las Vegas over the years, and if you hang around a casino floor, long enough, you'll hear the bells and whistles go off somewhere. You just kind of work, your way over there and sure enough. There'S 10 20 people standing around the guy with the slot machine and he's just picking up 15 grand or ten grand or whatever it is, but I haven't seen that kind of winning on a cruise ship Casino in a slot machine kind of curious. If any of you folks know that the cruise ship doesn't like - I really you know - wants to talk about that and then we'll talk about the lousy odds on the slot machine they'd. Rather, we just kind of go there and have fun well, fun means lose. Let'S see here, let's see you can gals for we go camels in hi. Everyone cool she has best bet is to play craps Lisa, Moore, hi, kam, Wilson, glad you're back Carla Miller is here. My husband won 1500 bucks. They report the winnings to the IRS. Oh, that's ridiculous: Wendy Thompson's, the casino where, where we found it once by mistake, I play bingo $ 300. I won on my last cruise well done on the bingo game. Well done. Desi Wagner, I won 150 bucks on the Norwegian sky. I was playing penny slots, but Hubbs was playing poker and won 300 in a tournament split there. You go right on Peter heck him up play blackjack. It'S the only game on the casino, with even odds with the house. Last cruise walked away with seven or fifty bucks. Then my wife spent it on jewelry store, laughs out loud there. You go easy, come and easy go, don't tell the wife anything here we go. Yes, Richard C is saying yes. Last cruise guy won 2,800 bucks paid for his cruise right. I'M glad I'm glad to hear it because I haven't witnessed it. It'S just glad to see this Peter hekima. I have never seen anyone on a cruise ship when anything big while playing slots there you go. That'S me too, Dom ease dahm dahm dahm dahm years. Ten do m-my, RS Dom your's ten this year. What you did to them boys New Orleans was a disgrace to humanity. Oh, I think we've got a nasty one here. I think Tommy's is not all that polite to us, we'll give him one more message and then he's gone. Wes Morrison, one of the things cruise lines don't want to know is the cost of excursions, went to haul in America's web site and could not find the cost was surprising. I'M surprised you couldn't do that wise, that's kind of weird Susan Hoffman. I saw a lady win around $ 3,400 on a penny machine grand princess the next cruise, the machine head magically disappeared. It must have fallen overboard by mistake or something yet I out is. They were probably moving it from one area of the casino to the other. One guy slipped and it just fell over the railing and down into the depths that went. Oh, my goodness, cool jazz. If you win in international waters, how in the air I RS gets, reported funny business there, I don't understand it myself, smart chips! Is it true? You visited oh yeah here we go. We got a couple of morons here today. We'Re gon na get rid of these guys. Yeah you're gone you're gone you're gone, oh, my goodness! There we go all right. We got rid of those guys, see keeper casino. I say Nene I never witnessed a big payout at sea. I won $ 275 one night and walked away with it never went back. I bet $ 5 on number 16 at the roulette table and won $ 175. I walked away there, you go yeah. I'Ve been to like I've, been to a slot tournament where you pay, maybe 10 or 20 bucks to enter and the top. What is it the top 10 scores during the day you and make your entry you get to sit down for three minutes, hit the button like a maniac and if your score you're, your total, is in the top ten you're in the finals, and you get to Come back later that afternoon for the final round and the top three people with money, the next couple of people win. You know some kind of free dinner, maybe and everybody else gets a t-shirt for coming out $ 20 t-shirts. I was in one of those and - and I couldn't get into the top. Ten III was like a 12th or 13th out of 40 50 people, so spent 20 or 40 bucks tried a couple of times and good meal. But I love that because you know for 20 bucks you have a shot at maybe $ 500 $ 1,000, first prize or $ 100 third prize. Something like that. I did that in Vegas once I was in a slot tournament and I got into the top ten. So I was in the finals and there were like 300 people who tried to get in and I came in. I think it was third and they gave us a state dinner for a party of four, and it was at that point was my wife and daughter, and I the three of us, so we went into their Steakhouse and we're looking at the prices of the steak. We figured out was a $ 250 deal to buy the dinner there and it was on the house and not bad for a $ 20 entry fees loved it. Now it's a good steak to actually and Jordan. Why do they rigged the slot machines? Don'T they want? You to win it's it's hard to win well and what the what they've done. I think what the way it's working is they rigged them so that you can win. You win these little mini pots, all the time you win enough to kind of hang around, so that your your loss rate is about 10. 20 30 bucks an hour depending on how happy you're betting, because there are some folks who put a $ 20 bill in but only play ten pennies at a time 10 lines. Others will play 50 lines. One penny at a time or 50 lines, four pennies. At a time and they'll lose it faster and slower, but instead of I just going from $ 100 to zero or 20 to zero, it goes like 22, 18 to 16 to 18, 14 to 16 and slowly. It just does this and you never win enough. If you have like a big win, you get the $ 18 again like you're back to 18 you're, still down 2 bucks, so you keep playing and you keep playing. You drop. You get down to 5, you have to slowly, you lose your money and you never get the winner and the trick with slot machines in most cases is to get the big jackpot. You got to be a maximum better, so you got a bet all lines. Maximum bet per line and on a penny machine you could be talking 450, a bet $ 4.50 for 450 pennies at a time to get the jackpot, with the odds which are astronomical. So it's a lose-lose game. It'S just entertainment bells and whistles, and you have some fun and you hope you get lucky with something, and maybe you pick up 50 bucks, a hundred bucks, but your your odds of winning a thousand or more, not gonna happen. What I love to do is, if I put in a $ 20 bill and I'll play, maybe if I can play five coins per maximum, I might play three to start with and if I win something I get like twenty to twenty three dollars. I'M up a few bucks. I go right to maximum bet. Now I hit the maximum when I go back to our fifteen bucks, so I've got eight dollars to try to get a winner, and if I get you know a partial winner that makes me gives me a payout of fifteen dollars. Well now, I'm up to maybe 33 35 dollars, I'm playing maximum. Now, until I'm back to maybe twenty-five or thirty - and I you know hopefully walk away flat or not or I'll play maximum until I'm back to say 25, then I play three coins until I'm back to fifteen, then playing two coins after that. Just to try to hang on, sometimes you get lucky. You know the third spin into the maximum bets. You get a winner and you wait. You pick up a hundred bucks. So now you got a hundred and fifteen dollars in your slot machine or $ 125. In your slot machine and you're playing maximum best, that's when I say to myself I'll play until I get to 80, but since I get the ATM cashing this cashing out of this machine, I might go to another one, but I'm cashing out of this one. So you play maximum maximum maximum maximum and if you go up you're down you're up you're a little higher, you lift you lift that lower level from 80 to 100. Since I get 200 walking that kind of thing - and sometimes you get lucky that way and make a few bucks, but I haven't won the big one. I haven't seen a big one hit Bitcoin Brian. I see I went all in with a gunshot and Rivard a straight flush in Los Angeles, nice. That'S got some mark boil this man is guilty. Oh we got another moron here, so we got to get rid of these guys. What are you gonna? Do today's? The day we got some morons coming by see, keep her wife won't. Allow me to lose money in the casino and a bit going to sing, went to big, isn't lost all in the foot on a draw, and then we got that guy he's gone mark. We'Re gonna get rid of this guy he's gone. Let'S see, oh my goodness yeah! I got a report this guy, just ridiculous. Just ridiculous, steamy bean, hey everybody school is out at football practice is canceled. The past couple of decades have seen that legitimate gambling has grown like anything in the United States. The revenue collected from gamblers has become one of the mainstays for state governments. Computer based video slots online is one of the biggest reasons for making gambling so popular and gainful. And, it is because of this technology that one of the most addictive types of gambling has been found in history. It is video gambling. And, it is for this reason that video lottery terminals (VLTs) such as video slots online, keno, poker and many similar games have come to be known as crack cocaine.
First ResearchIn the year 2002, a pioneering scientific report was published by Bob Breen, a PhD, claiming the peak addiction of video gambling machines among players. As many as 44 habitual gamblers were interviewed for their loss of control over gambling. It was found in the research that compulsive gamblers were not gambling for anything. However, their entire focus was on a specific kind of gambling. Just getting hooked to video slots online for one year made these players compulsive gamblers. Relatively, players who were hooked on other games like blackjack, sports betting and others took it at least more than three years to become compulsive gamblers. Second ResearchDr. Bob Breen continued with the collection of data on gamblers and lately released his report on 180 gamblers with the following details:
Reasons for Fast Addiction to Video Gambling
It may come to you as a surprise that you can find software for player protection that helps you to set limit on yourself when you play on video slots online machines. These machines are available in the market, but still they are not used in video slots online in Rhode island. The Wii from Nintendo is quickly climbing the ranks as one of the most popular gaming consoles ever. The fact that it is so interactive is drawing crowds of children and families alike. With its growing popularity more and more people are wondering where they can get Wii games. There are more options available to you than you might think. Some of them are really reliable options while others are for the most part a waste of time. Choosing where to download console games is often a tough decision with the choices that are available.
Many people are falling back on Google as their number one resource to download games from. Unfortunately, most of the results that Google feeds you are either bad files or are infected with some type of virus. Other problems that people run into are games in the wrong format or they are in an unsupported download type. While Google is great for many things I would not recommend it as the best option. I have read quite a bit about membership sites that charge a monthly subscription fee. In all honesty this option is a little pricey for my wallet. You agree to pay a monthly fee in order to download the games that you are looking for. You have to pay the fee whether you use the service that month or not. The upside is that these sites do provide a fairly large amount of content. I will review a couple of these sites a little later. I’ve personally heard quite a few horror stories of people using torrent sites. The Fact of the matter is most people are downloading viruses and trojan horses instead of the games that they are looking for. Torrents used to be one of my favorite resources for downloading all kinds of media but over the years it has become a community filled with malicious users. Their only objective is to infect your computer with some type of harmful code. Torrents are a bad option in my opinion. Personally, I have had my best experience with Mega Sites. These sites allow you to download Wii games in a fast and efficient manner. The amount of games that you can download is unlimited and they even provide you with all of the software you need to use. The software is great but what's even better is you are provided with step by step instructions from download to transferring the games to your Wii. To me the service that these sites offer is invaluable. I am an avid Wii fan and have been trying to find better ways to keep my Wii game collection up to date since I purchased the console just about a year ago. There is plenty of action in Vegas! One of the biggest draws in Las Vegas are the craps tables. This is a great way to spend a hot afternoon out of the sun, or an evening with friends. It is such a fun group activity, people spend hours at the same table interacting with each other. It is also known as one of the most social games in town.
For the beginner, it is simple and not that expensive to join in and learn the game. The easiest bet a novice can make, is a simple pass or don’t pass bet. If everyone seems to be loosing, just bet on the don’t pass, and you win when they loose. There is also the old faithful bet on the 6 or 8, which can slowly add up a few winning chips while one learns the game. There are also a few pool side craps tables in Las Vegas. One of the best is at the Hard Rock Hotel. They even have a couple of poker tables right in the water. This making it one of the preferred paradise gambling spots on a Sunday afternoon during their Rehab Sunday pool parties that go on every week during the summer months. There is nothing better than walking into under the neon lighting of a big Las Vegas Casino. You walk in, fifty bucks in hand, and you know there is a good chance you will walk out a rich man. Well, maybe not a good chance, but there is a chance. You pull lever after lever, draw card after card, and sometimes, you make your money back. And even better than that, sometimes you make more than your money back.
Once in awhile you leave with enough money to buy your wife that necklace she has been eyeing. Other times, you leave with enough money to buy a hamburger at the closest greasy restaurant. But, that isn’t the point. The point is you got to have fun spending your hard earned money the way you want to. You got the feel the rush as the machine told you that you won the jackpot. You got to count up the cards and realize that your two cards equaled 21 points, and you got to leave the table with your head held high and cash money in your wallet. It was a good day. What could be better than a day at the live dealer casino? |
