LESSONS FROM AUSTRIA AND SLOVAKIA TRIP – PART 2 (FINAL)
I visited art museums in Vienna,
they showed the collection of paintings by famous artists.

were taking place on the same day: on 17 April 2019.
About 190 million Indonesian were eligible to vote.
About 245,000 candidates were be running
for more than 20,000 national and local legislative seats

It’s a massive complex democratic undertaking.

This season of my life,
and many young children
suffering and dying from DIPG,

Me: You’re so hot!
(Tobi blushing from my compliment)
Tobi: No, I’m not… you must be so in love with me.
