A salt mine in Transylvania, aprox. 200 meters depth. It has a nice internal lake where one can rent boats. Was here last week:
Don't have any own pictures atm.

And thought provoking. I don't think that before now I'd ever considered where salt actually came from

Just posted this on FB, but I might as well do it here too.
So a few days ago I was woken up at about 4am by tons of loud sirens flying past my house. I figured that, like usual, it was some kind of police thing happening at the dodgy council flats that are just up the road. Evidently not, this time.
Totally gutted. Hope they were insured.
Edit: I should add that apparently everyone got out unharmed, thanks to smoke alarms that went off. And the houses on either side were fine too

Finally got my first one.
Look at this CLOWN. What a stupid ass tattoo.
Did you check with your Mom if it was okay to get one, or are you going to be grounded for Easter again?

I believe it was an arm tattoo, but i'm only guessing here.
And your stalking shit is getting pretty tired.

Without wishing to pass judgement on anyone's particular designs, I find the whole concept of tattoos extremely bizarre. Let's draw a permanent picture onto our own skin! Such a weird concept.

I used to make myself the same question, until a friend said that there are marks you may want to keep on your body forever. They may remind you of an important moment in the past/present (reason why now you see the Olympic rings tattooed quite frequently if you pay attention to the athletes' bodies), of your cultural heritage, or it can be a purely decorative adornment.

Their permanence is exactly what makes them strange to me. I can't think of a single other decorative adornment that lasts forever, which is understandable because tastes (and fashions) are always changing.

Apart from the really egregious cases in which the tattoos look nothing like what was originally intended, I'm yet to see someone who regrets having them though.
I considered having a tattoo myself when I finished my Master's (I thought of having the myth of Babel slowly progressing from Latin to my own idiolect on my back)... but given how much of a wimp my body is (it never really accepted my piercings), I thought I'd better give up and just keep torturing myself climbing up the academic ladder

I had never heard of this before. Interesting.

That's the second time in a couple of posts that I see you using this word. I had to look it up in order to understand what it means. In return for my efforts, I demand that you make a recording of you pronouncing that word!
