3/5/2018 Tiistaina tämä vikko oli Vappu. Minä menin Helsingin minun tyttäriä Olga ja Venla, minun vaimoa Katja, ja minun veljenpoika Antonio. Antonio asuu Ranskassa, Mentonisaa.

Si sono andato per la prima […]

I am working on my PhD dissertation. The last stage.

I have been thinking which metaphor better describes this […]
