Young and old people in Anatolia


Because you like people and because you taught me to see them in their nice moments- like these, hopefully.

Technology

By coincidence, I was looking at this just now. Sorin found it as he was loking for some old documents in his mother's house, together with a few more old things such as his father's war decorations.
I guess its use is obvious. It only does additions and subtractions, but it's not very easy to use- at least, not for me. And it's anything but a pocket thing- rather big and heavy.
I cannot stop smiling thinking of my students using one of these instead of their mobile phones or tiny calculators.

I was looking for some old material and I found this photo of me. I've been looking at it for some minutes. This uniform I was wearing was awful but I looked quite professional.
Was I about to call a student's family to report bad behaviour?
Was I about to call the Minister of Education to let him know I disagreed with their laws?
Was I about to ask for more coal for the central heating at school?
Not at all, it was the gesture we were told to have for this photo.
Nevertheless, I'm happy I kept it.
