About Me

PHILOSOPHY

Think but don't think two much.. Plan but don't plan everything.. Leave some space for just random stuff, because plans will never go like you think.. And normally the random stuff is the best. Think if something is really not sensible but otherwise just GO and take your chances, experience, talk to strangers.. GO with the nut ideas.. Live life.

Well one very amazing/odd thing comes to mind right away from CS experience: In Romania city called Sibiu we (me and two of my friends) got a free dental check from our CS host.. Best way to tell the story is in summer 2008 in transylvania at night time when the clinic was already shut this guy who we have met two days ago open the clinic just for us and in these quiet atmosphere this guy take this instrument's on the table and asks who want's to be there first??
