Resolved Question: I know it's a weird dream, all my dreams are! I just wanna know if anyone has a meaning to offer?
I had a dream I moved into like this hotel/apartment/bungalow thing in Georgia. It was absolutely disgustingly filthy. It was just crawling with HUGE insects that looked like they were from horror movies. None were smaller than my head and some were so surreally awful they looked like... animated. The walls were just caked on with grime, everything was gray or dull green and even the air was just smokey with filth.
I was so upset, and I kept trying to kill all these massive bugs but I just couldn't do it. I'd get too scared or they'd run away or they would be just too big to kill.
A lot of my family was there, in an upstairs area where there was a dirty pool table and a balcony. They acted like everything was fine up there; they were just drinking and talking.
I was in the basement, where most of the bugs and mess was.
I remember distinctly one part:
I went into the backroom/bedrooms area of the basement where there were two beds and luggage everywhere. I saw this enormous green, thick caterpillar and a smaller but still huge black centipede.
And they were spazzing out all around the room. The caterpillar had like, a fake face: it was this creepy smile with big black eyes, but that was just a pattern on his fur because I could see his real face under it, which was a lot like a spider's face.
And it was making this freaky squeaking noise and sometimes he'd crawl under the bed and I'd freeze and wait for him to come out, but then I'd hear him like right next to me on the wall and it was awful. I was so determined to kill him and that black centipede.
I tried throwing stuff at them, but they'd wriggle away. After a while of throwing lots of stuff at them, they both crawled into my suitcase.
Which really freaked me out!!
I could hear them breathing in the suitcase and that creepy huge caterpillar making wheezy squeaks. So then I went upstairs to get my aunt who came down with me. She basically shoved her arms into the suitcase and I was like,
"WAIT THEY'RE RIGHT THERE!" RIGHT next to her arm, but they were under like a notebook.
She was like "ah!" and yanked her arms out. Then she slowly lifted the notebook... and they were laying there... breathing heavily but otherwise staying very still.
Then she got some lotion and hairspray out and first sprayed the big caterpillar with it, which made his skin deteriorate, and sizzled the fur off, so his back was sort of see-through and thin. Then she like pierced his back with the nozzle of the lotion and filled his body up with it.
When he breathed in, the lotion would sink into this purple liquid in his body, and then when he breathed out the lotion would expand.
And he kept doing that till he burst at the seams
Then my aunt covered him in paper towels and was walking away with him but I never saw how she got rid of the centipede (if she did) or where she went with the creepy-ass caterpillar because I woke up.

Resolved Question: Where best to stay in Atlanta, Georgia when visiting Zoo and Aquarium?
I plan to visit Atlanta, mostly to see the zoo and aquarium but am unsure of the best location to visit both. I'd prefer not to stay in the Downtown area because I hate paying for parking (although I'll happily pay another $20 a night on a room in a better hotel, it doesn't have to make sense I just feel I'm being cheated).
Expedia offer the following areas and any advice on where is best to limit driving time would be much appreciated. Thank You.
Alpharetta
Austell - Six Flags
Buckhead
Cobb Galleria
Decatur
Duluth
Hartsfield

Resolved Question: Has anyone in here even been to the deep south part of the US before, stereotypes are true right?
I have a friend who is Indian (India) and he visited the deep south with me a year ago, we wanted to see how it was like. Of course we are just "Yanks", we had preconceived ideas about the deep south but we kept to ourselves, didn't bother anyone and didn't show off in any way possible. My wife was left to take care of my two Samoyed dogs while my friend and I took a vacation down south.
We went to Georgia, then to Alabama and then to South Carolina. Well when people saw me they were okay with it but when they saw my Indian friend (India), they froze and looked at him like he was some monster. I just told him to sit down and went to go get something to eat (we were at a hotel) when a person stopped me and asked "wait, are you hanging out with his type? What is wrong with you". I simply kept walking, this was in Alabama.
Also we ran into some people and they asked my friend if he makes car bombs for a living. We also saw a Black guy - White girl couple that received a lot of bad looks. Also I found that the deep south was very poor and had lots of open racism.
Was a culture shock to me coming from a multicultural city, how was your experience?

Resolved Question: world geography riddle?
Where on Earth?
You're standing outside the airport terminal in Moscow on a cold winter night. Snow streams past the windows of the taxi as you ride to your hotel. Leaning back in the seat, you review the purpose of your trip. As director of operations for a major American restaurant chain, you must choose the company's next location in northern Eurasia. The first location, right here in Moscow, has been a huge success.
In your briefcase, you have a list of 12 northern Eurasian cities, all eager candidates for the site of your company's next restaurant. Key officials of the nations in which those cities are located have dreams of duplicating that success-of bringing American investment and new jobs to their nations.
In your hotel room, you pull the typewritten list out of your briefcase and scan it quickly. The names are familiar to you by now: Moscow (a second outlet here might make sense, given how well the first one is doing), St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Kazan, and Omsk, all in Russia; Tbilisi, Georgia; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; Minsk, Belarus; Almaty; Kazakstan; Kiev and Odessa, Ukraine; and finally Baku, Azerbaijan.
Officials from each of these northern Eurasian nations will be competing for your business. Knowing this, you must carefully scrutinize the arguments they present. After all the work your company has put into its expansion plan, a poor choice could be financially disastrous.
The next day, you have arranged to meet one by one with officials from each of the nations. Your first appointment with the Russian official begins, and your translator, Alexander, relays his opening words: "Your letters inform us that you have 12 cities under consideration. We can save you some time and effort by telling you that in our opinion, you should not give your golden opportunity to a city located above 55* N latitude. Your restaurant would profit better if it were located in a more temperate city." "Thank you," you reply, and after some small talk, the appointment ends.
After checking your atlas, you agree with the Russian official. You cross one city off your list; now 11 cities remain.
Translating for the Georgian official, Alexander begins your next appointment by saying, "We sincerely hope that you will give full consideration to Georgia in making your decision. After all, your restaurant would probably be most successful if it were located in a capital city like ours." Then, he adds: "We also believe that your restaurant should be located somewhere other than Moscow. The economy there may not be able to support a second franchise." After some thought, you agree that a capital city would probably be the best setting for the new restaurant, and that it might not be best to risk a second restaurant in Moscow at this time. Mentally, you cross Moscow off the list, as well as four cities that are not national capitals. Now, six cities remain.
Translating for the official from Belarus, Alexander says, "After reviewing your menu, we think that you should note that some of your meals would be prohibited in nations where Islam is the dominant religion."
You know from the map in your briefcase that three of the six remaining choices have just been eliminated. Following this appointment, you comment to Alexander that you have eliminated all but three cities from your list. Alexander offers you his own advice: "Would it not make sense to locate your restaurant in the remaining city with the largest population?" Since one of the remaining cities does have a larger population than the other two, you tend to agree. After some careful double-checking, you make your call to company headquarters, and announce exactly where in northern Eurasia your next restaurant will be located.
Which of the 12 northern Eurasian cities will be the home of your company's newest restaurant? Hint: Use information from an atlas and an almanac to eliminate all but one city.
Tbilisi, Georgia
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Minsk, Belarus
Kiev, Ukraine
I BELIEV IT IS KIEV, UKRAINE...BUT I AM NOT SURE
