(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) For me one of life’s biggest gifts is to meet with interesting people during travelling. In some cases this means only five minutes spent together, but still resonating long inside me for a reason. Meeting with Robert is just like this. His first sentence is something like […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) Reg:They’ve bled us white, the bastards. They’ve taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers’ fathers. Stan:And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers. Reg:Yes. Stan:And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers. Reg:All right, Stan. Don’t labour the point. And what have […]
(Listen to the music while reading blog post.) Flying to the island of Madeira is a quite unique experience, and not just because you have to cross half of the Atlantic ocean, but also because the airport is a bit tricky. I really don’t want to spoil it, so I just tell you, it was […]
