A little enthusiastic feedback on Munich, but my dream is to move around the city on two wheels in The name of health and ecology could be realized here.

However, everything in the world is relative, and how Once you can dispel myths about such acquaintances countries.
We spent two nights in a row talking about life, politics, about what right and what not. And what can I say – I had to teach English. I regretted so much that I understand only 50% of the entire conversation, but our girls knew the language well and were interested in interesting talk, constantly forgot to translate me.

Returning home, we noticed that road works here lead at night, not during the rush hour, creating traffic jams. And how are they just up thought of this?
