My trip to Taipei, to be honest, was a mind-blowing experience, and not because of the combination of my first trip to Asian country, JCI World Congress, and flight to warm place (+25 Celsius) after Calgarian November, but, also, because it was right place, right time, and right people around me there.

I love living in the city
Started appreciate that only after living in a small farmer city of the Southern Alberta.
Please do not get me wrong - I am not a "fancy-shmancy" big city girl, quite opposite. I was born in a village, moved to a small town when I was a kid, and only when I was 17 years old, I have moved to a bigger city, the capital of the ( Read more... )

Уже не верю, а настораживаюсь, когда мне говорят: "Он хороший человек, но его жена - это что-то!" или "Она просто душка, а ее муж настоящая скотина!" и т.д. Мне кажется, что раз люди живут с друг другом более чем 1 год, значит у них ( Read more... )

Let's start this way - I has been trying to write about this, in my humble opinion, funny incident for almost a year. It actually happened almost a year ago in Munich, at one of the cars of S-Bahn (Electric rail transit) - my husband and I just arrived to Munich from Calgary, Canada, and we were at the train, browsing through the map and looking ( Read more... )

Одно из любимых произведений.
А у вас есть среди знакомых такие женщины? У меня - пару точно найдется.

Демоническая женщина

Демоническая женщина отличается от женщины обыкновенной, прежде всего, манерой одеваться. Она носит черный бархатный подрясник, цепочку на лбу, браслет на ноге, кольцо с дыркой «для цианистого калия, который ей непременно ( Read more... )
