Posted on June 3, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Dreamaticus

My class started at 14:00 and it was already 14:05. I still needed to collect the materials from my office. More pressing was the requirement to dress. I couldn’t really turn up to teach wearing just a navy blue towel. … Continue reading →

Posted on December 9, 2012 by Dreamaticus

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Dreamaticus

A lost suitcase, an unknown phone number, and the scandal of banking hours in British provincial towns (Rousse)

Posted on July 29, 2012 by Dreamaticus

It was their mistake, but I should have thought of it earlier, especially since I was the one who would suffer as a result. By the time that I returned to the café H and K had already left. They … Continue reading →

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Dreamaticus
