Make a guess in your mind.

Okay, ready? How about less than sixteen per day, but [...]

When going to Bulgaria, don’t just take financial conversion rates into account. If you’re used to a rather punctual society, or culture, there’s another conversion rate into account.

Missed calls from numbers I don’t know.
No coins in my wallet.
Waking up with a head ache at 4.30 pm.
Not recognizing some of the names in my telephone.

Boy, I must have had so much fun last night!

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I was ill for a week and I’m not really in the swing of things anymore. This week I might go to the mountains to take pictures since it’s the start of the ’snow season’ there. Oh, did I mention it will be for my work? Sweet.
Anyway, I [...]
