fairytale

One day, I'd love to travel to Europe. There are the obvious reasons for wanting to go, getting to see the great and historical continent, exploring its old cities, London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, etc. I've heard marvelous things about the place, my mom went to Paris when she was 12 years old, as her father went for business and took the family along (not a common opportunity in these parts), and she loved it. I'd especially love to see the Eiffel Tower. From the pictures I've seen of that magnificent structure, it looks incredible. Paris has many amazing architectural sites, and I'm sure that they'd be 100 times more inspiring right in front of me than they are in a picture. The same goes for London and Rome - old cities with old buildings. However, from what I've viewed from Berlin, it looks like a more modern type of city with beautiful buildings that are all glass it seems. This modern style is my favourite architectural style, and I hope that one day, I can design a building for Zaharia in that way. I'll get to that place, some day :)

It's my dad's birthday today. I'm not sure what we'll do, but I'm sure it will involve a dinner with extended family... just like every time we have a birthday. I remember the days when we'd go out to a nice restaurant, eat any kind of food that we could think of, enjoy the atmosphere. I just hope the evening passes without any major disruptions.
