IT'S A BIT LONG SO WAIT TILL I FINISH

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question?...What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.

But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.

He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:

What a woman really wants, she answered...is to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?

What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?






Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now....what is the moral to this story?
Scroll down





The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly !!!!!!!!

And what's the difference? Which is the most widely-spoken? Which is the most useful? Thanks.

I read somewhere that in twenty or thirty years there will only be two languages that you need to know, English and Chinese. But I can't remember if it was Cantonese or Mandarin.

I have a friend that is becoming a Contractor at a base in Japan. He asked me if he could become a permanent resident of Japan. In case anyone doesn't know what SOFA status means it is the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). I'm am wondering if there is anyone on this forum that has done it before? I have read in previous answers that you must live at Japanese addresses for five years. I'm not sure working for the US Goverment would count. I don't think he is going to marry a Japanese national as well. Can anyone that has done this chime in please? Thanks

I am going on a university travelling study program, ending in Hong Kong a few days before xmas. I have no restrictions about where to go after (except I need to be back in the UK by 7th Jan), and was looking at going to Cambodia.

I have looked at Visas, and they are valid for three months, so I wouldn't be able to apply for this until I am halfway across the world - Ecuador.

Is it difficult to arrange accomodation in Cambodia on arrival at the international airport?

How would I go about arranging flights to Cambodia from Hong Kong - I can't really find anything online that does so.

Any help and guidance would be much appreciated - What is the climate like there at that time of year? Costs of trips and Excursions? Tourist friendly?

Also, if you do think its a bad idea for me to go to Cambodia, any suggestions for other travel after Hong Kong?

Web links will be much appreciated, thanks in advance !

It's not only because of the price of fuel, is it? I was a little surprised at how expensive it was just to go from Tokyo to Hiroshima by shinkansen considering it's not really *that* far geographically. I would love to visit in Hokkaido also, but I don't know if we will be able to afford it!

What's your opinion on why it's so expensive?

My first name is Kirstin. (Pronounced the same way as the actress Kirsten Dunst).

I know that using the Katakana alphabet there is no perfect adaptation of how to spell this. However, the closest ways I've seen so far are:

カーステイン
or
キルステン

Do you know which of these spellings would be considered a closer adaptation of my name or do you think that there might be an even better way to spell it? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
