Despite common Greek beliefs about London, the weather is amaizing, the sky is bluer than my eyes, the air purer than my thoughts. // I am preparing a project for the Chancellor's consideration. And I have been offered the position of regional director in a Russo-Finnish firm. // I miss Her...
suggestion of the day: If you are suffering there’s a good way to remedy that. Wear a pair of shoes two sizes smaller than yours. When you come back home in the afternoon and take them off, the world will seem a different place.

"STREET" is great fun, but it's NOT pics of empty streets, your feet on the pavement, graffiti, traffic lights, ten poses of your girlfriend, or buildings without people. More info --> [link]
