Smelly Romance.

Him, Her, beautiful park, kissing on a bench, smelly trash bin in the vicinity.
The greater part of park benches assume waste basket nearby by default.
The lesser part of park planners have ever thought of safeguarding
bench sitters from nauseating aroma of a waste, by moving bins as far as possible.


Park Planner: "I Like it Ahh-lawt!"



Park Planner: "Noway Jose!"

Echoic Memory


Sounds can evoke emotionally charged memories.
For instance, the sound of a bell, mounted on a spring,
(also known as jingle bell) puts a smiley on a lot of faces.

Boring nerds in thick glasses call sound memory

The art of enjoying food - good coffee.

Every day, 83% of Americans drink coffee. ( Link )

The biggest part of that 83% drinks coffee of very poor quality.



The smaller part of that 83% drinks coffee of a little better quality.



The smallest part of that 83% drinks coffee of good quality made at home.
The good quality coffee cost is significantly less than poor quality coffee cost at Starbucks. 30 days X $3/cup = $90/month spent at Starbucks.

Here is what it takes to enjoy good quality coffee.

1) Good beans ( Link )
2) Good grinder( Link )
3) Good pot ( Link )
4) Good recipe( Link )

A cup of good quality coffee will, most likely, give you a good start for a good day.

Understanding beauty.


In a ballet no words are spoken from the stage. The dancers must tell the audience the story using only their body movements and gestures, which they execute to the accompaniment of music.



Basic performers' gestures have a lot in common with sign language that is used by deaf or mute people.

- Both hands to the heart for “love“

- Hand cupped by ear for “hear“

- Bowing to show loyalty

- Strong motions with fists to show anger

Professionalism and Quality.


One more generation, and these words will disappear from Dictionaries of most countries.

Meet the legendary, world famous God of Sushi - Jiro Yoshino.


Jiro is 85 years old, 75 of which he devoted to mastering the art of sushi making. His 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant, inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station, is sought after by many people worldwide. To their greatest disappointment, the place is booked up months in advance, in spite of being the most expensive sushi place in the world.

It takes 2 years to learn how to properly give a 45 minute massage to octopus, so that its meat is properly tenderized. It takes 7 years to learn the art of slicing the fish. It takes 10 years to learn how to pick the right rice and another 10 how to chose the right fish. Only then, one learns how to make sushi.
