Microsoft sucks!

Have you heard the newest Microsoft faux pas? The worst is that it puts Poland in negative light! This is the image you can see on the US Microsoft website:And this one you could see until few weeks ago on the Polish one (now it's the same as in the US):First of all, look, how bad Photoshop work it is. Do the people look in natural positions to you? I mean this woman's arm seems to be bent in an awkward way, the monitor in front of her is not plugged into anything (maybe it's the Microsoft newest gizmo), the white laptop, doesn't look...

This Saturday was fabulous, we went to Buccheri, a little village in Sicily to see the Medfest, a medieval festival, I just found a good description of this event on this website:"Each year in August, an enchanted spell is repeated in Buccheri, a small town perched on the Hyblaean plateau in the province of Siracusa: taking a leap back in time, visitors and residents alike find themselves in the Middle Ages.Indeed, during the third week of August, the town is shaken by two days and two nights of medieval rites and celebrations, to the...

What was this all last week about.

Helloooo everyone! So I'm back after my short holidays on the south-west coast of Sicily. It was amazing. It was all about lying on the beach, reading (I've just finished the newest book by one of the most popular Italian authors in Italy, Federico Moccia called "Scusa ma ti voglio sposare"), relaxing at the hotel swimming pool, eating fruit (have you ever tried Sicilian grapes or melons??), sleeping and devouring the Sicilian cuisine in fanciful wine bars and restaurants : ) It was perfect. Look at some pics I took:1. I'll start with...

We had very high expectations for Fall '09 and Spring '10 we anticipated high number of...
