When do you travel alone? When you have time and money to go, but your friends don't have. Or simply because you like.

I realise that when we start to work, earn money, our time fund is not the same. So it's difficult to plan a journey together. Initially. I did that because there was no choice but after all, it is all about myself.

Solo travel has many advantages. You do what you like when you want and where you go, you're on your own schedule. When you travel alone, you will focus on discovering

Hello, my dear members of MyEC.

Often, I see members here write or say,
"How are you, dear?"
"Come on dear!"
"Have a nice day, dear."
"What is going on, dear?"
... and so on and on.

A friend of mine, a native English speaker, told me once she does not understand why people say so. I had to smile because I knew why she found it crazy that people who are not close to each other (they are no lovers, family members or very close friends) do call someone in that way.

That made me write this post.

When we use

Days pass so quickly

Like whirlwind  ruins my heart

My desire is to stay close to you

In your hug

Together we make jokes

My destany

Stop here

Hard to say 'good bye'

But I have to say it

No more choice

I hug your shadow this night

In my longing

I'm sorry I whisper

I can't forget all easily

Remember me in your heart

I feel that my favorite thing like kind of favorite music, kind of favorite movie, favorite colour..vv have changed so much compared to 2 years ago. When i was in college I like striking color because I want to look outstanding. But now i like pastel color or dark color such as moss, beige, ochre...vv. 
I think change of living enviroment will affect to your mind and also your preferences. When you change your job or change your accomodation and you meet other people, you will have new perspectiv

 May be until just one century ago or even less, there was no term media as we know it now. The best tools of media are photos and sounds or both of them (videos). By such material, the media has so strong raucous magnitude in our present time. It is the time of photography mania in which there is a big tendency to visual carnage.

It comes as no surprise that photographer chases mishaps trying to find the most horrible dead bodies or the helpless victims of misfortune. He doesn’t intend to give h

Returning from your city empty handed, not even have life

I have been the continuous guest of the city

Every stone in the hand of my rivals now recognize me.

The friends and well-wishers disappointed me

May they give some wounds while leaving

Now not permitted even to crawl, otherwise,

would have blossomed the flowers of my wounds

I was the burning stone of dessert, you were the river,

May you quench my thirst while leaving.

I am weeping, but do n

Let me introduce Mr.Tanaka Kouichi, a Japanese chemist who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2002. He invented a method of mass spectrometry of protein that is useful for the early detection of disease. The process of his invention is interesting. One day, he mixed a solution A with a solution B by mistake, but the mixture contributed significantly to his invention. It is interesting that a mistake results in success. Have you ever experienced something like that?

Many questions may be raised when it comes to think of the best mechanism for choosing leaders.
I think that elections , dictatorships, coups, domination of one party power, monarchy, principality and sultanates are not excellent ways to authority for leadership.
Unfortunately, Election sometimes opens up a pandora's box of disasters against voters and even people all over the world. That makes us wondering if there is really democratic states!
As far as I know, in many countries the rate of

Each employee has a boss or a leader. (We all know what is the difference between the boss and the leader. So... ) By ill luck, I have a boss though we have a quite good interdependence.
Lately, I have lost some weight mostly due to overworking but time is money and money can make your dreams come true. Hence, I don't mind working a little harder for the time being to chase my dreams. So to cut a long story short I will just rephrase the conversation I had with my boss a short time ago:

About four hundred years ago, there was a shogun who opened Edo bakufu. Bakufu is the Japanese word for a feudal government headed by a shogun. He fought against many generals before he became a shogun and he mostly defeated them. However, he was once defeated by a general, and it is said that he pooped his pants with fear when he fled on horseback. It is also said that he made a painter draw a picture of him pooping his pants in order not to forget the humiliation. It seemed to give him motivat
