Here is where everyone is from that visited the O2 forum in the last 24 hours.,

OBJECTION!

The geotag Mr Spikowski quite understandably but nonetheless falsely attributes to Poland should in fact stick out of the neighboring Belarus, the country of my permanent residence over the recent 50 years, a beautiful land of 10,000 lakes and rivers whose fortresses and castles are probably twice as old as the US oldest artifact, and that can easily host the entire Great Britain w/o Northern Ireland, or Portugal and Hungary taken together, or five Netherlands or Denmarks at your own option.

I wonder what the landscape would look like if you removed the churches..

[Mike Lobanovsky]

Actually not as bad as you might expect, panе Janek.

Visiting Poland is at the top of my bucket list.

@chrisc:

I second that! Pictures of Krakow are like glimpses of a fairyland. Notably, there are over 200K students in this Polish city alone, and its universities date back to the beginning of 2nd millennium.








@edcronos:

The first two pictures look heavenly, but the two trailing ones don't look welcome at all.  But I guess this is a curse of every other overpopulated area in the world... Belarus' entire population is a little over 9M people which I guess would be quite close to Rio and its satellites.

Charles,

Which geotag of the two British ones is actually yours?

[José Roca]

Here is the time for the "Fallas".





Paella valenciana (the true one)



not this British aberration:

Jose,

!!! I LOVE IT !!!

My ex-wife runs a small business in Barcelona and she's been inviting me to come and stay there for some time in the summer. I was somewhat hesitant (that's not just two blocks away from my door, after all) but now I think I'll accept her invitation, if only to be able to taste the 100% original fine cookery your compatriots have to offer.

Our house for 55 years is at the very top centre-right of the photo, set back in the trees.

Sweet Charles!

It doesn't get much better than that.

[Mike Lobanovsky]

Home sweet home... Howdy Charles, I'm seeing you in the window!
