What's happened in recent years is that there's been a huge surge in these budget airlines where for like $50 at times, depending on when you travel, you can go to Prague or Budapest or really all over Europe for cheap prices and you can take a party of people in conditions far away from home so no one can see what you're getting up to.

A good vodka will create a warming sensation that gradually spreads through your body. So put away the soda water and tomato juice - these vodkas deserve the glass to themselves...
When Tata Motors unveiled designs last year to build the Nano - a cheap, two-wheel drive car for the people - it proudly declared its hopes for India's mass market. It's getting a dose of mass protest instead. Last week, Tata Motors shut down its plant in Singur, West Bengal, citing "obstruction, intimidation and confrontation" by protesters that had been demonstrating at the site for the past month...
