A few lines about my trip to US... Memories come rushing back, From the abyss of my soul and heart - Fighting back my tears, at the end of a short journey. Thank you all, for making it special - worthy of reminiscence, and an yearning for living those eternal moments, again... Those first images we captured on our cameras The first view outside our windows... The days we ran the length of Wall...

If you had previously thought that the world is a beautiful place to live in, do your calculations again. And if you still think the same, you are probably one among millions of people living in a virtual world. The real world is pathetic, and is going down into its own abyss at a speed that is beyond human...
