Northeastern South Africa for a hunting safari.

Got off the plane in Johannesburg. Our driver got stopped twice by police looking for a bribe. We went from interstate to highway to gravel and then dirt roads. Ambient light died as we got further out and was completely dark when we got to camp. Woke up the next day surrounded by mountains and bush country and it took my breath away. Also was able to be within feet of animals i had only seen pictures of or seen in cages in the zoo. Had Cape buffalo and other species of antelope hanging around camp a lot too.

Saudi Arabia, definitely a weird place to visit but was surprised with some of the places you can find while driving - making sure you get a driver! Easy access to other countries in the Middle East, for instance Bahrain.

Guatemalan Volcano and Hobbitenango: My wife was born there, so we went there for vacation this year. We climbed up a water volcano named Acatenango. Some people crossed over to the fire volcano to get near lava. At night, you can see the fire volcano erupt lava every 10-15 minutes. The hike was extremely tough and I hated the whole experience. Some people claim to love it. Not for me, but definitely the craziest experience. I preferred Hobitenango, a Hobbit inspired park in the montains of Antigua.

Extra tip: It is VERY cheap in Guatemala. We were amazed at how much our dollars got us, even for luxury.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant
