Michael Hallatt, a Canadian in Vancouver, British Columbia, spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars at Trader Joe's in less than two years, but the

black people's car. Reggae is popular music of Jamaican origin that combines
native styles with elements of rock and soul music and is performed at
moderate tempos with the accent on the offbeat. My most favorite reggae artist
is Shaggy. However there is no his MTV. Reggae is among the top genres I like.
BTW, I never ever like hard metal kind of stuff. So most of the songs I

发帖数: 1130 | 18 如果几个人则住店最划算
如果一个人， 尽管你说了不想睡车上， 但租一辆chevy hhr 比较好， 后座可以打下
来， 所以如果临时实在找不到旅店， 可以睡车上
推荐motel 6
你如果沿着某条有名的路线， 比如route 66, 则买本或借本lonely planet's 书， 它
会介绍沿途的非连锁的MOTEL，有地方特色， 比如http://unusuallife.com/2008/05/21/offbeat-hotels/
或者：hostel, hostelworld.com
www.couchsurfing.org --> 一般你要买吃的去
www.airbnb.com/ --> 很不错， 都是个人自己出租。
我个人觉得睡车上其实挺不错的， 美国这边到处是REST AREA. |

重拍剧质量远超过原作的剧集。但是BSG的剧情设定篇幅还是比较短，所以攒不下那两
个剧那么多粉丝，拍到第二季其实大家就知道最后结局必然是地球，和双方妥协，所以
第三季第四季有点offbeat了，猜克隆人的游戏撑不了那么久。 |
