We heard of a Medieval festival in Meißen so we went to check it out only to see that it is held in an enclosed area with an entrance fee of 10 Euro per adult and 5 Euro for kids. And for a family of 4, that will be a total of 30 euro. I…
I asked my girl several times if she is still interested to continue learning violin and her answer has always been yes. But somehow, it seemed that her heart is not in it. If we talked about Ragdoll however then you can see the sparks in her eyes. She wanted one but she cannot always…
