Riddle!

What is in common in the following places: Vienna, Tel Aviv, Kosice, Nizza, Haifa, Mumbai, San Jose, Spisska Nova Ves, Linz, London, Ulanbaator, Bratislava, Würzburg, Baltimore and Lodz? Ok, I'll tell you (or, as we say in Hungarian: the farmer is free!) So, our little blog had hits from all these places in the last 10 days or so.

Amazing isn't it? Well, to be fair it did not exactly become world-famous, but several people spent a few minutes on our page...You might wonder what for - well, "oy division" attracted quite a few internauts (all the ones from Israel) but we also had hits by the keywords "walking pine tree" and "sex in the sea" :-)

no kidding!

This is the name of a movement (initiated from Vancouver).
Here is also an article about it.
I really would like to hear your opinions about this topic in general.

Sea, Sex and Sun

Yesterday in my garden: Sous le soleil, la chaleur torride de l'été.
I couldn't help sharing this instant of pure tenderness with you.

Book-crossing

I needed to do something to get rid of the huge Belgian flag from the opening screen - attracts too easily the eye of my colleagues :-) So I am going to talk about a clever littel idea that I got acquainted with about a year ago, in a restaurant. There were books in a corner with stickers on them, with identification number and some instructions. So, the idea is, you put a sticker on your book, register them online (to get an identification number) and then either let them lay somewhere or take them to "controlled crossing" zones, to have an exchange, for example.

Of course it is much more exciting to find a book, but there is a thrill in giving them away to strangers - it's a certain sense of goodwill and fun, of course. I currently only have one book travelling (there is a chance it will never re-surface again, but still: you can check it out - especially the journal entries at the bottom of the page :-) - the BCID-number is 111-5835661, type it in here) and there are couple of others at home waiting to be released! Maybe you can catch my books at some point? That would be fun :-) There is actually a chance: there are around 300 people registered for Slovenia, 700 for Hungary...and 3000 for Vancouver! Good hunting!
