What is happening around the world that should be mentioned (and that is not the explicit discussion of politics etc because it's not allowed in this part of the forum)? I live in southeastern Europe in a country with communist past (and somewhat democratic present) that at this time has...

Visiting US was probably the furthest I ever traveled so far. Most of that time I spent in Illinois, and about a week in California, Nevada and Arizona (going to tourist places). It took some time for me to get used to everything being so far way and needing a lot of time to get from point A to...

Dryer is probably for people who have a lot of clothes, there was one when I was living abroad for few years and I had some good and weird experiences with it. If I was living in a house I would probably dry the clothes outside, in the apartment I prefer the indoor breezy method, if I do get the...
