I was three years old when I tried smoking for the first time. I can clearly remember that moment. We lived in the Far North, in a population centre, where one can get only by a helicopter to. Only buildings of a club and a radio station (that at the same time was an administration) [...]
When I was a kid and was only learning the social world in the fifth form of a comprehensive school, my father brought a lot of boxes with apples from Moldova. That was time when the deals were made through barter, as nobody actually had money. And everyday I took 10 apples to the school, [...]
Light salads for active and slim, festive salads for hospitable and cheerful, original salads for bright and ambitious. I've been collecting various tasty salads recipes in this section from the world's best chefs, which fascinate with their diversity, exquisiteness and creative approach. A salad recipe was first invented in ancient Rome, and then French cooks [...]
– Dad, dad, look at this small fish! At this very moment, I understood that our Antalya adventure was successful. We survived early getting up, dramatic climate change from +5 in Istanbul to +25 in Antalya and never-ending 3-km walk along a quay, frightening cats and happy passers-by.

There is a nice oceanarium in Istanbul, which was unfortunately closed for a regular check during our stay in the city. But sharks had been already promised to my kid. So all I could do was [...]

Some things were cheap, for some I had to pay certain amount of money, but in general I'm quite happy with my walk to jumble sale. Recipe [...]
To be honest, there are only 2 photos in this post that were taken by me. It's easy to recognize them. They depict my son enjoying his favourite cars, ships and everything that's related to them. If you ask me, how many toy cars he's got at home, I'll say: couple of hundreds. At least. [...]

My son is a very stubborn young man. He wanted to get to Hong-Kong with me badly to see dragons. I don't know why, but he decided Hong-Kong was a city of dragons. But I travelled to Hong-Kong on my own and sent him photos with Hong-Kong dragons and, of course, post cards depicting dragons. And [...]
