Hello Pln Jason Charles Hani Ed Ria Simone Chaya and all, I'm really into knowing new places and cultures. Always I hear the name Lublin, it reminds me of Dublin, but just the names. :) Thanks for enjoying having me as a friend, I have the same feeling towards you.
You mentioned about the stamps on envelopes. By the way, I inherited a collection of them from my cousin but it turned out to be hard to continue the collection since we are lacking sending and receiving letters. Consequently I put it beside and gave up continuing the collection. (** I still remember the stamps from Poland). About the books, I make a mistake. I said that I was interested in exams of proficiency in English, but actually I'm not in that level of English. I'm interest in Cambridge FCE or CAE. It reminds me Eckman and his story of making mistakes in English. :) It's hard to express ourselves perfectly in another language other that our native when we are not fluent. Don't worry about the books, when you have some spare time, you can help me with that. I put the weather from some cities from Europe here in my desktop, so I can keep track of them until I get there. :) Have a nice day you all!!
