Hi Pln and all, Thanks again!!! :)
"Great minds think alike", you should post that quotation in Simone's thread about the best quotation, statement, one-liner for you. LOL I have already talked to Mikhail too and he was about to leave his workplace at the same time I had just arrived here to start my workday. But we had time to exchange some words, it was good to talk to him. His an IT guy like many members here, including me LOL. I believe there's a kind of difference in me in one year ago until and now. Within that time, I've improved a lot my writing skill and I'm still doing. Thanks to you and all the motivators that we have here. I'm lucky to date a girlfriend like the one do. To be sincere, we haven't planned all the places that we intend to visit there, but we have already bought some magazines with maps and turistic places to visit in France, as well as its prices and how to get there. I still haven't seen anything in Brussels, but we still have time. Surely I'll ask ask you when I have some doubt or curiosity, since you've already been there. I really appreciate your support. You've sent me some suggestion about the beers that I can taste there. LOL You may know that men go to europe thinking about beers and women about perfumes and so on. LOL Great day you all!!!
