My Dear Friend Manuela had made me an interview. The first subject of interview was Istanbul and how I was impressed with various civilizations and cultures that they had met in Istanbul,Turkey.
I would like to start by saying thank her for asking me so interesting question. The interview has been issued on her page wholly but I want the first question with its answer to be posted here. I hope you'll enjoy reading.

Manuela: How is it to live in one of the biggest city in Europe that 15 000 000

A Short One

As I've already said.

An interesting place to know, learn, grip, clutch, clasp, hold, clench; catch, seize, grab, snatch,..., more than English could be,–)

If you have time and curiosity, of course.

Some links could be broken, if your first gaze it's a broken one, try with other.

Wordless Wednesday #9

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WINNER:  Ranu who wrote: "This little girl is a future scientist. So she says (the caption):

"Do you know that there are more than 100 products made from pork?"

 

I chose this one because this is something she would probably say. This kid knows far too many facts for her age because she memorizes every word she reads!

Letter to an Unknown Father

Dear Papa,

Today, I was driving to work when suddenly, I thought of you.

The last few years have been difficult for me.

Where were you?

My heart started feeling empty, yet heavy.

I began to wonder if you're thinking about me too.

It's been a long while, hasn't it?

Have you been well?

Happy?

I pray so.


I know this is unexpected of me to write to you.

It's something I've never done in the past.

It's a pity that we never got a chance to be together at all.

You weren't there to hold me when Mother gave birth to

In the last few years, economy in Belqium has badly declined. In Wallonia, steel companies went out of business, as in Flanders, those making cars, as Ford, laid off a large number of their employees. In both cases, those companies were the pride of Belgium.

The minimum rate wages before income is about 1250 euros per month. To answer Expector's question, the average taxes rate is around 43% but it can go up to 70% ( for people who make A LOT of money) Most of us work the 6 first month of the y

Convenience as the availability of a birthday cake, and other delicious food, cards, candles and all that goes to celebrate.

A Simple Child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?

I met a little cottage Girl:
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head  
She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad:
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
--Her beauty made me glad.

"Sisters and brothers, little Maid,
How many may you be?"
"How many? Seven in all," she said
And wondering looked at me.

 All that is gold
    J. R. R. Tolkien
 lotr.jpg

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.[
