CURRENT MISSION " If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now, put the foundations under them " H.D. Thoreau ABOUT ME I am a Pole with Hungarian,Austrian,Armenian and remote French ancestry feeling this multicultural heritage in myself; with noble background and attitude, plunged into the past but open-and broad-minded; a humanist and dreamer loving poetry and arts,but being able as well to firm and analysing talks about politics,psychology,world problems and socio-historical machanisms affecting our present. PHILOSOPHY I have always had a deep desire of seeking and finding sensitive, profound, and intellectual people; Individuals, who don't fit the "mainstream" and general triviality; persons, who are for instance able to contemplate the magnitude of gothic French and English cathedrals, as well as the essence of simplicity of grass(as W.Whitman), who are able to subtle emotions, as well as to laugh and joke :-)

One Amazing Thing I've Done
These are definetely the two cities; one is Prague,- the utmost miracle-, which astonishes, bewilders, and shows me her different face whenever I am there, and the other one, completely different of course- the downtown of Chicago, which was probably the biggest surprise of all cities that I've seen so far; magnificent architecture, including first in the world, 19th c. skyscrapers, exceptional atmosphere, surprisingly clean and cultured..
Teach, Learn, Share
so many things :-)
