15. The View ...

Many have told me that I am paying more than what the place is worth, because of its location.


When I moved into the apartment ... the first thing that I bought was an armchair to put in the balcony ... and I spent the first couple of nights drinking on the balcony as there was nothing else to do.


Things have changed and that the apartment is less empty now ... but I still spent many nights on the armchair. Why? I simply adore the open view from the window ...

The downside of it is that I keep loosing my socks, which I have left on the drier in the balcony.

14. Toronto or Munich ...

A long list of interconnected parameters made me to go to work the day Germany trashed IKEA. The job was messy that day, forcing us to use masks and gloves.
Of course, the contractors only wanted -but never used- the required protection.

This was my view that day in Toronto ...

Which could have been this instead, if I was in Munich ...

Bad or good, we will face the consequences of the decisions we had made in the past.

13. Tall Iranians ...

Luiz Felipe Scolari:
I liked the Iranian team.
They have very good players.
They are physically very strong and very tall.

There is a difference between being able to jump and being tall:

Iranian player height: 167 cm
Portuguese player height: 184 cm

Unfortunately being tall is not enough to win a match ... I get back to my booze ... its time to let go.

12. The Phoenix Arises ...

No matter what team you support in this world cup ...
No matter who is your favorite fan ...

No matter how much you know (or agree with me) about the level of Argentina and Serbia's football ...
Just remember that trashing Serbia 6-0 is a significant achievement ...
The Phoenix might have been already arisen from ashes!

Do you agree Juan?!

11. Where I work ...

I was asked by many how my job is different from my studies.
Sneaking through Dr. Jones's web page, gave me this idea to use this link to answer your question.

The picture above shows my old school ... the below picture is of the place I am working now ... the comparison up to you.
