Have a nice week-end.
Unfortunately I couldn't go to Barcelona because of the visa issues :( At least i made it to Prague for the NGO Accessibility Workshop with our trainers - great event!! though translating non-stop for several hours was quite challenging :) It was wonderful to see old friends and meet new ones. Catching up on things now, as always :)
Hugs from the finally warm Moscow!
:))
So when you plan to move to Europe, ha?
You are right - a year is too long, so please, come to Moscow!
I've just uploaded some of the pictures; i think i was the only one who took them at the hostel :)) And guess what - there WAS sun in Riga... after everybody left - Prof. Freibergs was foreseeing ;) Have a good day!
As soon as you activated your feed here, I will take your feed out off the RSS feed of the middle column, otherwise it will appear twice (once as a main RSS feed, once as part of your blog posts).
For the moment, I took up the feed of your blog to feed the central column. Your articles are great!
do you feel like importing some of your flickr photos on the riga event? just go to "photos", "add photos" and scroll down to "add flickr photos"
