I would like very much to appear in times of knights and travel by the ship under a sail. I wish to see knights' battles on horses, how swords were made for them and how archer trained to shoot. I wish to try a deer fried on a fire! It's a severe, but interesting life. Probably sometime my dreams will come true and it will be possible to travel not only to any country, but also at any time. Then I will vanish in these travels, instead of sitting in front of TV.

The largest corporations participate in races - which will create the fastest, most powerful computer. And at the same time they cannot solve simple, but a huge problem - how to feed poor people and children?

Last night we with friend and her daughter have been in a museum. But on the way home her daughter was asking a lot of questions. At home I have found some coins and a banknote in 5 Cyprian pounds. Here there is even an image of this money. Now on this island everybody have shifted to euro. Interestingly, through how many years euros also will become just a paper?
