Maybe old-fashioned games like connect the dots, word puzzles, mazes and tic tac toe seem obsolete to kids who grow up with game consoles and games on cell-phones, but children of around four and five years of age really enjoy such activities.

The above mentioned are also recognized as great travel games since parents find it a real challenge to keep their children’s boredom away particularly when driving long distances. Various web pages represent the easiest source of printable travel games that can be included in the luggage for “boredom” sufferers, yet mention must be made that kids with carsickness should only play word games, as any attempt to watch a fixed point when the car is in motion will only aggravate the sickness.

New York and Hatch Food Festivals

by Ian Kleine

Early on, we had the fruits of summer, peach and strawberries; but this time, let’s have a look at a festival for one of the western old-time favorites: buffalo wings! In Buffalo, New York, the festival is nothing but pure consumption of these hot, spicy chicken treats.

By which according to last year’s statistics, almost 27 tons of chicken wings and sauce was consumed in the festival alone. Hoping that the town would break the record this year, they are inviting you, tourists, to join in the festivities. There’s an admission fee of five dollars per each adult though (what? You’d think it was free?)
