With over half of the world’s population residing in Asia it comes as no surprise that a large proportion of people in the East enjoy gambling on a regular basis, whether that be socially amongst friends, within a physical casino, at a race course, pachinko hall or even online.
For decades, Hong Kong has been the capital of the East, the meeting point between the world and the Great China. For many years, whatever was manufactured in China was being sold outside under the “Made in Hong Kong” label. For the British Empire, it remained for a long period of time as its “final frontier”. Starting with 1997, it becomes part of the Popular Republic of China, but under a special ruling granted for 50 years. Welcome to Hong Kong !!! read more…
It was by far the most expensive Olympics ever organized in the history of the world. Over 50 billion dollars were spent, millions of people were moved out of their homes in order to make space for the infrastructure, one of the biggest steel mill in the world was moved hundreds of kilometers away and some of the most futuristic sports complexes in the world have been built.

Romania is a country with a rich history and diverse culture, and there are many things to see and do. Some of the most popular tourist attractions include:
The minimum wage in the UK comes up to around £10.10. This means that in a year, you can expect to get paid £25,600. That’s a little more than £2,000 per month. Considering these rates, it’s highly understandable why the UK is the first choice of many immigrants when it comes to work purposes.
It goes without saying that Canada is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. No matter where you are in the second-largest country in the world, there is never a shortage of breathtaking sights to be seen.
