While I did just post about Krakow, I was actually in Lviv, Ukraine before that. I was there for 2 whole weeks and was terrible at posting anything. Firstly, I was not there as a tourist (some might argue that I am a perma-tourist but you'll see what I mean), I was there to work … Continue reading 2 weeks @ Dzherelo

Cultural Beauty
Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Something I have alluded to before but haven't had a chance to fully describe is how frank the social culture in India is.
