I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cubelles, a beautiful Catalan coastal town near Barcelona. I hit the jackpot when I found an apartment right on the beach! Spending my time there was pure bliss; almost every day was spent soaking up the sea and refreshing myself with waves.

But every time I watch the news, I realize that I was lucky to spend my days there during the heat wave that is hitting Europe. There are roaring fires in many places in southern Europe, and, on the other hand, places where the summer is not particularly strong, like the UK, are experiencing record temperatures.

No comments. The climate change problem is already here :/

A few days ago I had the opportunity to visit Berlin again and I spent some very pleasant days in the company of my dear friend C. In those days I remembered why the German capital is one of my favorite cities in Europe, and although I am satisfied with my life at the moment, I will always miss that very interesting place!

One of the things I was always curious about before leaving Berlin was what had happened with the famous Humboldt Forum. I remember the first time I visited that space in 2015: at that time it was a temporary construction, created by the Humboldt foundation, that served as an exhibition space and viewing platform for the Berlin Palace - Humboldt Forum reconstruction project.

Well 7 years later, this project is finished and the palace is back to its former glory (at least the exterior facade) and it has some interesting exhibitions inside. Above you can find a picture of how it looks nowadays. Bis (hoffentlich) bald, Berlin

It has been 9 days since the beginning of the Russian invasion of the Ukrainian nation, which unfortunately has been catastrophic for this country. More than 1 million refugees have fled to neighboring countries, mainly Poland and several Ukrainian cities have been heavily bombed.

All western countries have condemned this unprovoked invasion in unison and have uniformly applied sanctions against the Russian regime. Hopefully, they will make it economically impossible to sustain this senseless war.

Slava Ukraini
