[Belligero]

Thanks, Fritzl.

I'm currently living in Norway. I travel often to Hungary, though.

German forum isn't ringing any bells...

In any case, here are a few more photos from the workshop to get back on topic:

Living in Norway and traveling often to Hungary, you don't happen to work for a certain telecoms company?

It is too hot to wear full length pants. So many daring ones go pant-less. Those who are also hot but has more sense regarding hygiene and decency opts for Shorts.

same logic.

thank you.

the majority of my shoes comes from hungary, though from small workshops on the countryside, which "we" discovered after the fall of the iron curtain.

actually, i use a very young shoemaker in the neck of my woods, who inherited a full workshop from his grandfather, who passed away a few years ago. unfortunately, i never met the old man...

...and i'm involved in the start up of a mtm-operations based in austria. more to come soon...

Of course not. Kimchi is Korean. Wabi-sabi is Japanese.
