I hate not knowing where I am going and asking all the people around the right address. That normally happens when you are in a new place where you dont know the people and the houses and also because you either dont know the address for sure or the houses do not have the numbers on them. And thats frustrating. Plus all the neighbours look at you as if you were a robber and so on. So lets make a pact and all of us use numbers on our homes.

You can find them in diverse places like McDonald’s restaurants across Europe, Sint-Baaf’s Cathedral and the University Library in Ghent or Centre Pompidou in Paris. H
Oversized Chess Pieces for Outdoors
My whole family is crazy about chess and even I learned how to play this game from my grandfather. We all think it is very clever and stimulates the brain. So when we went to a villa to spend the holiday and saw a black and white checkered stone square in the patio we couldnt help thinking about chess. It looked like the perfect board for a game of chess, even if the size was a bit different from what we normally use, but it seemed amazing to think you could use oversized chess pieces. I was curious enough to look for some on the Internet and, of course, I did find what I hoped.
