The story of the man who falls

It is the story of the man who falls and as he is falling he thinks "up to now everything is ok", "up to now everything is ok", ..., "up to now everything is ok", ....
Falling does not hurt, landing can !!

Music in the street,

This is a sign of quality ... good place to live

Train in the darkness

Dark blue windows, some mystery behind, and the sound ....

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Fantastic during the summer

    Geisha_Girl is right! Christian a man who shops at Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore with Ivan Jimenez has no shopping tips for the windy city?

    Your travels are not for the normal backpacker types like me where a room is to sleep in, but your restaurants sounds great. Beautiful pictures in your travelogues, great page.
