I put this video with my pics and those of my friend Nino in Georgia:) oh, I miss this country.

My trip started well as soon as I landed at Dyce Airport (Aberdeen) I managed to find a taxi to go at my hotel in Aberdeen city centre (Crown Street) my cabdriver was friendly and told me a lot of information about Aberdeen such as why it is called the Granite City or the Grey City all houses, building there are made of granite, therefore they appears all grey, that’s the only color for building your going to see there.

Many of the houses look new when they are one century old, my cabdriver explained me that when it rains and after the rain the granite shines and appear clean.

One of my many Georgian friend is a dancer, she sent me this video earlier today.
This is great Georgian ballet, bad me, I was supposed to go to Batumi last month.
But I ran out of money for that month that will be for a next time.

This is a rather sick story, I ran into:

A 26-year-old young man, Ehigie Omenai who kidnapped two children including his eight-year-old niece, Blessing Omenai, for use in a money-making ritual is now a contrite person. “I feel very sad and ashamed of myself, I pray that God will help me get over this problem so that I will go and win souls for Christ…” Ehigie who claimed to have obtained a diploma in Civil Engineering from the Ambrose Alli Univerisity, Ekpoma, said he had to embark on the failed project since he could not find any means of livelihood, following his inability to travel to Spain through Morroco because he had no money to sponsor the trip.

Palpable fear gripped residents of Irrua in Esan Central Local Government Council of Edo State penultimate Friday when the incident occurred as parents went in search of their children, sensing that ritualists may have invaded the community.

From what Saturday Vanguard gathered, Ehigie had never agreed with Blessing’s mother since his elder brother got the woman pregnant. It was said that Ehigie sent the brother’s wife packing after the elder brother brought her into the house with the reason that it was not his brother that impregnated the poor woman.

I just learned that the 33rd America Cup will be again in Valencia during summer 2009.

Despite the unexpected twist on Tuesday, the three public administrations (local, regional and national) decided on Wednesday to sign an agreement that would open the door to the public announcement of Valencia’s repeat.

After the usual self-congratulatory speeches from all involved parties and the champaign glass in front of the trophy, Ernesto Bertarelli, head of Alinghi, and Michel Bonnefous, CEO of America’s Cup Management, laid out the basic framework of the 33rd America’s Cup.
