Seriously speaking...

On Saturday I'm going to Chicago until the New Years at least, so I don't know how often I'll be able to come and write here. But I'll try, and post some photo's aswell. After I come back I will promise you a surprise of sorts. But no revealing until then...
Well, I'll leave some hints on the way. :) First one is this link. I don't know why I didn't put this earlier, but I guess it's never too late. One of their activists and one of the few experts in modern slavery, Kevin Bales, was my Human rights class Professor this semester and that is probably the class I enjoyed the most so far in all of my studies. Not because of the topics ofcourse, which were dark and gloomy as anything, but the way it was conducted and the ideas we shared, truly amazing.
But that's not the point. Anyone who sometimes gets an urge to donate something to people, this is the place you should go to. They're doing such an amazing job all over the world, and I just hope that I'll be able to get involved in the future.
The other hint will be the best selling book on Amazon at the moment, soon to be a huuuge movie. Heh, after slaves there isn't much I can say that has any significance. FreeTheSlaves!!!

P.S. These photo's change every time you load this page, so please do. ;)

Rules of the South

Back again. Some of you may have thought that I go out every night, all night, to examin those male-female relations more closely. I am terribly sorry to dissapoint you... believe me, more then you can imagine... I'm not saying I'm not willing. I am not saying I am not capable, oh no, I am saying I am being prevented by the State of Mississippi, and not just me, but everyone!!! There's no discrimination in these laws, oh no. Public order shall be ensured at all times. Any and every drunken behaviour at all hours of day and night shall be stopped and taken care of immediately [by arresting the drunken person]. All public shops and clubs that pore alcoholic beverages will be closed before 1AM on ordinary weeknights. On saturdays no store will be opened after 12AM (!!!) and will remain closed all through the Holy Sunday. This is in short what the laws (at least in Oxford) ought to look like. I haven't actually read them, but believe me, Police is there to remind me. And n

Here I Am...

Never mind, an old song... To begin with, a brief account of our visit to Washington D.C., a lovely place that by some strange universal accident landed on a wrong continent. :) We didn't get much chance to walk around the City, somewhat because of the rain and also our busy schedule. But we did see (at least from afar) most of the most famous monuments that make this city what it is. We were located in the City Center so we also saw all the old architecture that one wouldn't expect anywhere outside Europe, and also got a tour of a big fortress Americans call State Department. But we got a chance to see a whole lot of Bosnian politicians. I do not want to curse on this blog so I will just skip the general impression I got from our political "elite" and religious leaders. With people like that our country can only go – downhill. I did get a chance to meet a lot of interesting people outside of that group. I made a little mistake, 9 Bosnian students came to that anniver
