Last night I went through about 6 consecutive green traffic lights. I was so “caught” by this thing that I forgot to turn left at some point and ended up at the edge of the city. I think … that’s the way it is in life, right? You catch a “corridor” that you think is perfect for you, you are so excited that everything is going well and suddenly you realise that you have not gotten where you should. You realise that your goal was completely dif ...
8 days. No more, no less. If you stay less you can’t see all the interesting places. If you stay longer, you risk getting bored or getting more and more stressed by the negative parts of this country. Egypt is home to 3 of the largest cities in human history: the Pharaonic city of Luxor, so important that the Egyptians simply call it “The City”, ancient Alexandria, the largest university center ever, and Cairo, the largest city in Africa kn ...

We all have the same time. The priorities are different. When you say you don’t have time, all you do is lie to yourself. Everything is an illusion. Stop for a second from what you’re doing to s ...
Canary Wharf, one of the biggest financial districts in the world has been built by a romanian. Yes, a romanian. In 1988, when port industry began to decline and the docks became useless, The Canary Wharf project has been sold to the Canadian company Olympia & York and George Iacobescu was the man in charge with the project at that time.

I like cities where you have a lot to do. Amsterdam is one of them, besides London, Barcelona, Paris or New York. Here in Amsterdam, you can visit museums, spend all your money on girls or drugs, take a romantic walk through the city’s canals, spend the night in a coffee shop, or simply walk the streets. I thought I’d better document the next post so you can discover the city from inside too. Some historical data. The first docume ...
