Friends are important for your success, as well as being involved in life. Be hands-on, get out there, speak your truth, and share your voice. Show up, socialize, and share your message.

Embrace your pure heart and connect with people who are calm, artistic, and chill—they will help you pour more into your essence and guide you towards your imagination. In your imagination lies the key to your success. Focus on your dreams, your intuition, those moments you can’t explain, and connect to your ancestors.

Take action and don’t hesitate—you have the universe on your side when you make bold decisions. Learn to communicate clearly and don’t be afraid to work on your many ideas and fantasies alone! You shine brightly on your own, and people will be intrigued by you. Hang around people with dynamic, passionate, and assertive energy—they will help you significantly and allow you to take the reins yourself.

5 Takeaways from La Vuelta Feminina

Competition is good.

There were no boring stages. Every stage of La Vuelta Feminina was competitive this year, and most were quite close. Even the sprint stages ended up having major GC action with the cross-winds. If you look at the results, it seems to favor the super teams like SD Worx-Protime and Visma Lease-a-Bike, and they certainly did have good results. But every stage was hotly contested, there were no dominant solo breakaways, and teams like FDJ-Suez or EF Education-Cannondale played their cards well to upset the favorites for some stage races. Frankly, the Vuelta Feminina was a lot more fun to watch than the men's Giro d'Italia is looking to be. (There, we said it!)

2. La Vuelta Feminina's spot on the calendar is fantastic.

We think the organizers of the Vuelta Feminina have absolutely nailed the spot on the calendar. That lull at the end of the spring classics was just begging for a stage race, and Spain's beautiful countryside and cities look best in spring. That's always been the down side of La Vuelta versus Le Tour in the men's calendar, the scenery is so much greener and prettier during the Tour in July than the Vuelta in August. A spring Vuelta solves that problem and avoids overlap with the Tour de France Femme or the Giro Donne, bringing top talent to the race.

3. Weird dynamics at SD Worx-Protime continue.

Honestly, we don't know what is going on in this team. Demi Vollering's performance was great, she deserved both stage wins and the general classification. But her best mountain domestique was arguably Grace Brown of FDJ-Suez and not any of her own teammates. There were times when Marlen Reusser or Mischa Bredewold seemed to attack Vollering, or when Vollering was leading out the group with her own teammates behind. It didn't escape our notice that Vollering wasn't on the podium when SD Worx accepted the best team award. No one outside the team can tell, but Abby Mickey of the Escape Collective probably said it best when she said "the SD Worx-Protime team bus can’t be a fun place to hang out at the moment."

4. Crashes continue to be a real danger.

It's been a horrible year for crashes in both the men's and women's peloton, and the Vuelta Feminina saw its share of them, even in the winning team on the first TTT stage! It's a shame we didn't get to see a rematch of Gaia Realini versus Demi Vollering due to Realini's crash and withdrawal, although Evita Muzic took us somewhat by surprise and rose to the challenge instead. Likewise, the withdrawal of very strong riders like Ellen van Dijk (Lidl-Trek), Anna Henderson (Visma Lease-a-Bike), Emma Norsgaard (Movistar), Marta Cavalli (FDJ-Suez), Clara Emond (EF Education-Cannondale), and several others due to injuries from crashes was a real shame.

5. Several riders and teams are stepping up.

It wouldn't be fair to say that Evita Muzic has been flying below anyone's radar, but until last week, we didn't know how good her form has become. If she hadn't been caught in the second group during the crosswind echelons of Stage 4, she would have had a real shot at the podium, but she can be happy with her stellar victory on Stage 6. Similarly, Riejanne Markus was remarkably consistent in the mountains and her second-place finish is a real mark to watch her in future GC competitions. Both FDJ-Suez and EF Education-Cannondale were very strategic, using their riders effectively, and nabbed some great stage wins as a result. Ricarda Bauernfeind's (Canyon-SRAM) sixth-place finish was impressive, if only because she lost two minutes in the Stage 4 crosswind split, and was presumably riding for teammate Kasia Niewiadoma until Niewiadoma had to withdraw due to illness.

And we have to tip our hats to Karlijn Swinkels of UAE Team ADQ, who fought mightily to keep the mountains classification jersey after winning it in Stage 2, which enlivened several of the breakaways throughout this year's Vuelta Feminina. We would prefer to see the polka-dot jersey points to be calculated so as to not favor the GC winner, and the last-minute rule change before Stage 8 probably doomed Swinkels' campaign to win the Queen of the Mountains, but Swinkels fought hard regardless, and for that we salute her.

Hii~ idk if you talked about it but could you tell us your journey in Japan? How is it + how did you manage to go there (if you want to share ofc!)

It's because I'd like to move to Japan and I'm trying to collect information on how to successfully go there.. so if you have any advice pls lemme know, I'd really appreciate it! Have a great day!

Hi there! I sure can :)

How I Got There

Pretty much everyone I know who came to Japan is an ESL teacher (not surprising given I am an ESL teacher and so are all my colleagues, and when I was doing research I mostly searched Youtube for people's ESL experiences in Japan). The most common route of application is via the JET Program. There are also a number of Eikaiwa companies that hire from abroad and will sponsor your visa (this is what I did - I'm happy to give you the details of my recruiter over a DM if you want). However, pretty much all of these options require you to have a bachelor's degree (doesn't matter what in). The main problem with these kinds of companies is you don't have much control over where in Japan they put you, and typically you won't be in a big city (although you might be in a surrounding area - one guy from my training group is based in Saitama). The pay's also not great (but as long as you live within your means, you'll be very comfortable and you can definitely save up).

Even if teaching English isn't something you fancy, it's probably the easiest way to get into Japan if you have a bachelor's. You don't have to be a native English speaker (although you should be at least a comfortable C1, ideally C2 level), and once you're in Japan you can find a job you actually want much more easily.

You can also try GaijinPot for more jobs - there's a section for people applying from overseas. But please check on places like Reddit or FB groups whether a job seems reasonable before applying; anything that advertises pay "per hour" is unlikely to be a liveable wage, and I've been told 240K/mo in Tokyo is not really sufficient (no problem for me out in the sticks, but Tokyo living costs are crazy).

How It Is

I love the nature here! I live in the Tohoku region so I'm surrounded by mountains and forests and I feel so lucky!

The summer sucks if you aren't a fan of the heat. We had 33-37ºC every day from mid-July to the start of September. I have a colleague who grew up in the UAE and he's been laughing at us all saying how beautiful the weather is, but for me, who is native to a cold and soggy little mound of grass in the Atlantic, it is horrendous. Not to mention the cicadas. Idk if there are cicadas where you live but I was NOT prepared.

You can get by without Japanese, but making the effort will go a LONG way. If you've only ever travelled in Europe or English-speaking countries, you'll probably have the impression that "everyone speaks English to some degree" and that you can always find someone with good enough English to help you. This is not the case in Japan! Your interactions will be very awkward if you don't make the effort. You'll probably be fine in bigger cities but more remote regions will be very difficult to navigate.

I understand Japanese a LOT better than when I first came here. I can still barely speak it, but I'm always surprised by how much I can pick up from the kids from the words I know and context (this is a huge advantage to teaching if learning Japanese is your goal: young kids will babble at you in Japanese CONSTANTLY). I'd probably speak it better if I made the effort to go out and talk to people but I'm shy lol.

I love the job! My colleagues are great and the kids are so much fun. My company does provides really good support and my work-life balance is perfect for me. I also get to use my creative side making classroom materials. But I don't get sick days and I only have 10 paid vacation days, 5 of which are at the end of the year and cannot be moved. I'm also pretty sure most other eikaiwas and Japanese companies will work you a lot harder, and you'll have much longer hours and higher expectations from your company.

Hope that helps! Best of luck with everything. Feel free to shoot me another ask if you have more specific questions!

I don't know how to offend someone from Andorra or Liechtenstein, but having dealt with both Albanians and Sammarinese in the past: If you want to offend someone from Albania, imply that they're from the mountains; and if you want to offend someone from San Marino, say that they're Italian.

Fun little bit about Liechtenstein, the only reason I learned it exists is because Conan was going around as a bit and insulting every country in the world in a effort to see where he was on the air, he'd made a joke about some place and got some annoyed letters from some fans there. He didn't even know he was on there. I'm glad he's free from the late night nonsense, current year humor is dead and he's too funny for that crap.

Those could work, maybe bring up the bunkers for Albania but that may be hit or miss.

Andorra you could probably go with calling them either french or spanish to tick them off, given the way the place works and all, don't think enough people even know the place exists to warrant an insult.

Which might also work

I forgot Monaco too, you could tell them that UAE or Qatar has a higher GDP than them or something like that, call them poor basically.

Malta, probably something about the pope and crusades.

Looking again North Macedonia, honestly asking them about Alexander the Great would be the best way in my experience.

They skipped Kosovo too, but they've had enough problems I'll leave them be.

Songs of My Life: Minova

Minova is an indie-pop musician based in the UAE, born and raised in the extremely multi-cultural city of Abu Dhabi, and it's safe to say how they got to that place is an incredibly interesting story. After we recorded our podcast, I had the pleasure of having Minova explain the tracks that are important to them and helped form their musical journey.

Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys

I would listen to the radio on my way to school and this would always be the song playing, I guess it reminds me of simpler times. I'd just go to school, come back and play with my toys then go to bed, wake up and do it over again the next day. I didn't have much to worry about and one of the things that stuck with me was the music that played around that time.

Listening to music was a big part of my childhood, especially with MTV being popular, and Radio One was also a big thing. They played genuinely good music at the time. this song is very catchy, and I remember singing along to it with my family, most likely during karaoke.

Riptide by Vance Joy

My school didn’t really have a music teacher, and the only time we have anything to do with music was when I brought my guitar in. Riptide was one of the songs that my class and I would sing every time I brought my ukulele or guitar in. it was just a nice environment because everybody got to bond together through music. It was especially fun to sing along to because everybody knew the lyrics. 

Where’s My Love by SYML

This song was a major part of my guitar-learning journey. at first, I started with the basic chords then I went on to finger-picking. As a result, I started listening to different types of music to learn guitar parts. That’s how I came across this song, and other artists, like Hozier. I fell in love with the melodies and the style of guitar playing. I spent a lot of my childhood learning and expanding on my hobbies and interests like guitar and music in general. 

Everything about this song from the atmosphere to the lyrics to the melody to the fingerpicking pattern is so beautiful, and it inspired me to learn how to make this type of music, music from the indie genre. I have some unreleased music that I wrote to try to emulate this sound. 

The songs in this playlist are not just about my life, but they also represent my musical journey as that is a large portion of my life. I like to stay at home and learn new things in music so I don’t have many experiences in music outside of my house.

Jealous by Labrinth

Learning the guitar evolved into wanting to learn the piano. Jealous is such a beautiful song about a beautiful topic, and the way Labrinth sings on top of the piano parts just made me crave playing the piano again. Before I learned chords, before I learned anything else, I learned how to play the beginning of this song. 

Where Did I Go? by Jorja Smith

After going through my piano phase, I started listening to a bunch of different songs from different genres and that's how I found Jorja Smith and just… wow. The first song of hers that I listen to was On My Mind, and after that, I dove headfirst into her music and her albums. I found Where Did I Go? and it blew my mind. everything from her voice to the atmosphere of her music just amazed me. I was just astonished at the sound she was able to create and the creativity behind it, along with her other tracks. This song got me to start listening to other R&B artists such as Mahalia, Daniel Caesar & Frank Ocean. 

Dræm Girl by No Vacation

After listening to R&B-type music for a while, I got back into indie, but this time the music was a little bit different and it's more on the indie/bedroom pop side of things. This was when I started figuring out the sound I wanted to do. i started playing major 7ths, major 9ths and other jazz chords. I also started getting more into indie by listening to artists like Men I Trust and Clairo and all of those indie artists. 

Rings by Pinegrove

I usually associated the use of major chords with pop music, but Pinegrove amazed me with their ability to create such an indie sound without using jazz chords. I didn't think it was possible before coming across more music like theirs. They've had such a huge influence on my music. They manage to create such a balance between all of the different sounds they explore and keep it feeling so indie. A big reason why I love Pinegrove, and really all indie music, regardless of how well it was mixed and mastered, is that it doesn’t have to be that way for it to be considered good. People like it not because of the quality of the recording, but because of the quality of the music itself.

The French Library by Franz Gordon

At this point in my life, I started getting back into Piano, and as a result, I got more into modern classical music. The French library is a dark piano theme and the reason why I fell in love with it is that the feeling it gives me is indescribable. as soon as I listen to it for the first time I fell in love in a way that I cannot explain. 

Colpevole by Nicola Arigliano

As I’m currently learning Italian, I wanted to indulge myself in the Italian language. A great way to do that is by immersion. I chose the method of listening to music and one of the Italian artists I stumbled across was Nicola. This song's production and quality are immaculate, but the thing that hooked me the most about this song in this artist, in particular, is how much he reminded me of an Italian Frank Sinatra. His voice’s smoothness feels like butter but what makes this song, in particular, great for learning Italian is how I can understand every single word he says.

Burning Hour by Jadu Heart

Now we go back to indie! The artist I collaborated with for my earlier songs, Yajin, was the one that introduced me to this band. A lot of their music inspired the way that he produces and makes music. When he asked me to collaborate on sanity, I immediately fell in love with the sound and vibe of the track, which was very inspired by Jadu Heart. Jadu Heart, and Yajin, are so incredibly talented.

Logiche by Altea & specchiopaura

As I mentioned before, I am still learning Italian. I found out about this artist by trying to find the same music that I listen to in English, but in Italian, I found Altea and her track Logiche. The energy and the vocals match the atmosphere and production so extremely well. Her music is so similar to that of Jadu Heart and this song is actually my favourite at the moment.

Furrora Outrunner

"A blast of the past, a cougar amongst the kittens, classic in the age of revolution! This baby has the best the 80's and 90's had to offer for a wreckless driver with obsessive pursuit of adrealine. Prize might get you living there as well, but choosers sometimes need to be beggars. There is even music genre named like this car!" - description in vehicle catalogue

Furrora Outrunner SC or Outrunner is a hypercar from 80's to 90's. It is one of the fastest cars you can get to drive in P:FF.

Design

Outrunner's overall look resembles Ferrari Testarossa. It's body has a more aerodynamic shape with interior being relatively tight. It has two and complete removal of a spoiler at the default.

It is really rare to find and it has only few fixed spawn points.

It has special parts which seem to be rally-themed. Those parts tend to be exclusive to hyper and sports cars with only few exceptions. There is a variant, which is special police version called "Carabineri Outrunner". Main diffrence is overall look and being a bit quicker and tougher. Carabineri Outrunner has limited customization.

One appears in Richie Rich's car collection. It was customized with golden-green paint and racer tuning parts. This car is called "Clover".

2. Variants

Besides Carabineri and Clover, there are only randomly customized versions which can be found. Carabineri itself has three diffrent liveries depending on the place you're in.

3. Behind the scenes

Name "Outrunner" is a reference to OutRun, a arcade game where one of the cars you could drive was Ferrari Testarossa. Description also makes reference to OutRun music, a sub-genre of synthwave inspired by retro aesthetics of arcade games. Outrunner's name also comes from the car being one of the fastest cars you can find early.

Description makes fun of typical sports car driver, that would buy a car that would make them go bankrupt and drive really aggressively to a point of being dangerous.

Cougar refers to both Cheetah from GTA universe, where it was mostly based on Testarossa and a term used for a older woman seeking young men to have as partners. This can also be seen as poking funt a typical sports car owner, albeit it's usually older men trying to get younger girls to be their partners.

Carabineri version's name comes from the carabinieri, a branch of law enforcement in Italy. The choice of a hypercar as a police car comes from how some real-life countries, with notable being Italy and UAE's police force. In-universe is stated, that those are mostly used for PR and stunts but they tend to be used for pursuit of high-speed vehicles like other sport or hyper cars, illegally tuned cars and even stolen concept vehicles if it was to ever happen.

PCD's livery resembles that of LAPD with green coloring similiar to some european police car liveries.

ICPD has a livery similiar to that of NYPD from around the 90's to early 2000's.

Inferna Police has a livery based off the one used by brazilian police.

Swimming is allowed in the beach waters until midnight, unlike most UAE beaches where it's usually prohibited Dubai is renowned for its stunning skyline and breathtaking sunsets, making it a perfect destination for families looking to create lasting memories.

Here are some family-friendly places to enjoy sunsets in Dubai

 1. Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa, which is 828 meters high, is regarded as the tallest free-standing structure in the world. Without seeing this tower, which is the center of Dubai, a trip there would not be complete. The 148th floor is well known for having the highest observation deck of the 163 floors, and the 124th floor features an outdoor observation deck. It is truly magical to watch the sunset from any of the observation decks. Additionally, while dining at the Burj Khalifa's highest lounge, which is located 585 meters above the ground on the 152nd, 153rd, and 154th floors, you can see the sunset over Dubai.

 2. Dubai Creek

The Dubai Creek, which is in the center of Dubai, provides visitors with a wide range of entertainment options. The location is well-known for its Abra rides, which are tiny watercraft that transport passengers across the water and are ideal for watching Dubai's sunsets. In addition to the abra rides, a cruise offers beautiful sightseeing. If boat rides aren't your thing, you can go eat at a restaurant on the rooftop by the creek. Both experiences are special and should not be missed!

3. The Beach at Kite

Kite Beach, which is a stretch of white, clean sand, is regarded as one of Dubai's cleanest beaches. With unhindered views, it's the perfect place to watch the sun set.

4. Lake Al Qudra

Al Qudra Lake is a group of artificial lakes where you can get away from the bustle of the city. Seeing wildlife such as steppe eagles and flamingos, as well as animals like oryx and desert foxes, brings you closer to the natural world. The location offers breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline, which is a visual feast. While strolling, you can stop by one of the food trucks for a bite to eat. It's a surreal sight to see the serene lake waters reflect the magnificent Dubai sunsets. You can also remain to camp or observe the stars.

Umm Suqeim Beach, a public beach with turquoise waters, is well-known as Sunset Beach. With the Burj Al Arab as a picturesque backdrop, people come to this beach to take sunset photos. Swimming is allowed in the beach waters until midnight, a rare privilege on UAE beaches. Borrow books for free from the beach library and enjoy reading on beanbags or right on the sand.

6. Ain Dubai (Dubai Eye)

Have you ever pondered what it would be like to see the sunset from a height of 250 meters? Ain Dubai has the answer. The biggest and tallest observation wheel in the world provides breathtaking sunset views in addition to 360-degree views of the surroundings. Prepare for the ride of your life by boarding one of the 48 hit-tech cabins for a 48-minute ride. Shopping centers, eateries, and a souk (an Arab marketplace) surround this famous landmark on Bluewater's Island, just off the coast of Jumeirah Beach Residence.To see one of Dubai's most spectacular sunsets, schedule your visit for the evening.

Exploring Vapor: Your Ultimate Vaping Guide

Vaping has become a popular choice for those looking to enjoy flavors and nicotine satisfaction without the harshness of traditional smoking. For both new and experienced vapers, finding the right device, e-liquid, and accessories can be an exciting journey. This guide explores everything you need to know about vaping, helping you make informed choices whether you’re looking to Buy Al Fakher Online or explore other options.

Understanding the Basics of Vaping

Vaping involves inhaling vapor created by a device that heats a flavored liquid, known as e-liquid or vape juice. Unlike traditional cigarettes that burn tobacco, vaping devices only heat the liquid, which reduces exposure to harmful chemicals. Most e-liquids contain a mix of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorings, and varying levels of nicotine.

Types of Vaping Devices

Vaping devices come in several types, each designed for specific preferences:

Disposable Vapes: Great for beginners, disposable vapes come pre-filled and are discarded once the liquid runs out. They are convenient, easy to use, and often require no maintenance.

Pod Systems:

These are small, portable devices that use pre-filled or refillable pods instead of traditional tanks. They’re ideal for on-the-go vaping and offer a satisfying experience without requiring too much technical knowledge.

Mods and Box Mods: Advanced users might prefer box mods, which offer greater control over power, vapor production, and other settings. These are typically used with refillable tanks and offer customizability for experienced vapers.

Closed Pod Systems:

Closed pod systems, like the Al Fakher closed pod system, offer a more controlled experience as they use pre-filled pods that are easy to switch out. They’re popular for their simplicity and ease of use.

At Vapor Station UAE, we offer a variety of these devices to cater to different preferences and skill levels.

Choosing the Right E-Liquid

When it comes to e-liquids, flavor and nicotine strength are two main considerations. E-liquids are available in countless flavors, from classic tobacco and menthol to sweet and fruity blends. Additionally, users can choose the nicotine strength that suits them, ranging from high to zero nicotine options.

For those looking for an authentic shisha experience,Al Fakher is a standout brand. Al Fakher's e-liquids are known for their rich, shisha-inspired flavors, making them perfect for anyone who enjoys traditional Arabic shisha. You can easily buy Al Fakher online at Vapor Station UAE, where we offer a variety of their top flavors.

Vaping Etiquette: What You Need to Know

As vaping becomes more common, it’s essential to follow certain etiquette guidelines to ensure a positive experience for yourself and those around you:

Vape in Designated Areas: Many places have specific areas for smoking and vaping. Be mindful of where you’re allowed to vape to avoid discomfort to others.

Avoid Cloud Chasing Indoors: While producing large clouds can be fun, it can also be disruptive indoors. If you’re in a public or indoor setting, opt for discreet devices or use lower power settings to keep clouds minimal.

Respect Others’ Personal Space: If you’re vaping around others, especially those who don’t vape, make sure to keep some distance. Tips for Maintaining Your Vaping Device

To get the most out of your device, regular maintenance is essential:

Clean Your Device Regularly:

Residue from e-liquids can build up over time, especially around the mouthpiece and tank. A quick wipe-down will ensure your device stays clean.

Store Properly: Keep your device upright and in a safe place when not in use. This will prevent leaks and damage.

Check Your Battery:

Regularly inspect your device’s battery and ensure it’s properly charged. Avoid overcharging to preserve battery life.

Use Quality E-Liquids:

Cheap, low-quality e-liquids can harm your device and affect the vaping experience. At Vapor Station UAE, we ensure our customers have access to the best, including trusted brands like Al Fakher.

Exploring Flavor Options: More Than Just Al Fakher

While Al Fakher is a popular choice for those seeking a shisha-inspired experience, there are countless other flavors and brands available for vapers who want to explore different tastes. From refreshing menthol to rich dessert flavors, Vapor Station UAE has options to suit every palate. We encourage our customers to experiment and find what works best for them.

Is Vaping Right for You?

Whether you’re looking to quit smoking or simply enjoy the flavors, vaping offers a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes. However, it’s important to be mindful of your nicotine intake and choose products that suit your lifestyle and preferences. If you’re looking for shisha-inspired flavors, Al Fakher provides a familiar and satisfying experience that captures the essence of traditional shisha.
