Spring It was definitely one of the most memorable season for me to date. My first trip to the States! And if I recalled the nightmare that I had at the airport, it definitely made it to my top ten list of worst travel experience. Lessons learned and forever etched in my heart. I had [...]

I could rarely catch a glimpse of blue sky this winter. It poured viciously most of the days with fat, grey clouds in the sky. But sometimes when there was a day or two of blue sky for a change, I almost went crazy with relief. This is really bad. The way I let the [...]

Before I came to Europe, I’ve never liked to eat cheese. I didn’t even like so much as a whiff of milk.

I went for cherry harvesting the other day at a colleague’s place and I came back with a modest 2kg of cherries. We (actually I) finished most of them in just a couple of days.

Have I mentioned for the zillionth time that spring is my favorite season of the year? Actually I love all the seasons except, maybe winter. But now that spring is almost over (bawl!), I thought it might be an excellent idea to celebrate this year’s wonderful spring season by being outdoors, just us, our bikes, [...]
