The pink city by Janice Nigro There is nothing like a personal tour of a city especially in a foreign country.You will get to the best restaurants or events without having to work at it, and in the local language. I did not do my homework for my brief tour to Toulouse, France, after some... Continue Reading →

In one cocoon the umbrella is used for the rain (and really does you no good because it is too much rain) whereas... Continue Reading →
Are you making funny of me? To brush my teeth, to shower, and toothpaste were my newest Norwegian words, and with these latest linguistic tools, my Norwegian homework assignment was to ask people what they did before breakfast. I think that is what the teacher said. It didn’t matter, the exercise was to make a... Continue Reading →
