My first visit to Japan left me in culture shock, but I wish the US would adopt some of its norms

Hawaii State

Many people consider Hawaii a bucket list destination thanks to its idyllic ocean access, unique culture, and lush rainforests. But danger can hide behind all the beauty, especially when it comes to Hawaii's infamously perilous beaches, such as Hanakapi'ai on Kauai's Nā Pali Coast. The rugged destination only exists as a beach during the summer. In the winter, the waves and high tides obliterate the sand, with the water crashing directly on the rocks. While you can't visit during that part of the year, summer can still be treacherous.

In 2006, I started taking Xanax and continued, more rather than less, for the next 17 years. The drug was first prescribed to me after I experienced a panic attack. I had thought that I was dying. My children were two and six years old. We were at home—my husband had gone for the day and the babysitter was late. I started sweating and had this urge to run, to get outside. I didn’t know what was wrong, but my heart felt weird and I didn’t want to die in front of my kids. So I stuffed them in a stroller and went down to the street—West 106th in Manhattan—hoping to intercept the sitter. There she was in the lobby. She took the children. I didn’t explain. On the street, the noises were loud, the light galactic. I think it was summer. I was walking but had no idea where I was going. Fear crawled over me like ants.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
