That introduction is very important as it is the first impression to someone who could become your friend. So what to tell and what not to tell to make a good first impression? Obviously you do not immediately...
When I arrived in San Francisco, I was hoping to only see the houses we all remember from the populair show, Full House. However, I have to admit that it took me some time to discover the beautiful Victorian and Edwardian houses that are lined up on the hills painted in bright colours.

I find it actually very hard to find the right words to tell you about our magnificent wedding day. I could never have imagined that one day could be filled with so much love, so much beauty and so...

However it is obvious that the lady in the wedding dress should have some essentials at...
