CURRENT MISSION

Go back to my home country by land with my wife Yuri.

ABOUT ME

We are very narrow-minded persons, misanthropic, and we like to eat trash food. We hate to travel and we don't want to meet new people. We are very unhealthy, never walk nor cycle to go somewhere, and we can't cook so we eat only things coming out from a can. We are sick of nature so we spend all the time we can in concrete buildings.

PHILOSOPHY

Marc: Accept that one single brain is not enough to understand issues that matter.
Yuri: Never waste any time you can spend sleeping.
