  • How Sinico S.p.A. and a chinese friend cheated me.

    I was comfortable moving to Shanghai in 2005 because I knew I had work there. Selling machines from Europe to China. Eventually, in 2006, we build up a partnership with the italian company Sinico S.p.A. - they produce tube processing automation machines. Machines, that cut long tubes in small parts and make them ready for [...]

  • The growing Entrecard phenomenon.

  • Grand Theft Auto IV sucks.

    Yesterday night, I finally managed to finish the last mission. I’m now 70-something percent through the game, only having side missions and other stuff left. But I’m not gonna play that anymore. I am so damn bored from the game!
    I’ve played GTA. GTA II. GTA III. Vice City. San Andreas. I enjoyed them all, except [...]

    I’ve got a little cold from all the heat, to be more precise: From all the air conditioners standing everywhere. It’s not really healthy to have sudden temperature changes from over 20 degrees, but some people simply ignore this fact.
