With the city of Querétaro practically being washed away by relentless rains, it was nice to get off the subway this morning and see the tourist board moving quickly to make a virtue out this.It's that sort of nimble thinking that makes the town the #1 non-beach tourist destination year after year.

Dentist at Work

From Rantings from Afar, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

As might be expected, going to the dentist in the UK (as in Malta) is not the cheapest. Even if you do it on the NHS, you still have to pay here. So when a tooth started niggling me last year I thought I’d try and find somewhere to treat it which wouldn’t break the bank. While trawling the internet I came across Guy’s Hospital Dental Service. Guy’s hospital has an associated dental school with King’s College. The dentistry students of course need to get practice.... Read more

A year before, Pia went to Amsterdam for the first time >>>Hey guys, I just sat down. Which is just incredible for me. The three past days have been kinda crazy, hence the lack of posting on my part. I joined my sister on her apartment hunt in Nantes... just like I joined her two years ago in Rouen. At the time, we found a great apartment after a few tiresome days. And tiresome it was this time as well, believe me. However, I feel we struck even harder this time by finding not just a good... Read more

Of temptation and capitulation

From 66 Square Feet, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Suffer the fig eaters to come unto me...I find it unlikely that Eve, if she had existed, would have risked so much for the sake of an apple. Especially since it probably tasted a lot like the crabapples we know today. And while the fig and the apple share the distinction of being domesticated very early, the fig seems to be winning, at around 11,400 years ago.No. I think it would have been a fig. I would behave foolishly for the promise of a plump, perfect, ripe, soft-skinned fig.Or perhaps it... Read more
