note that in the Hungarian National Gallery have properly decided to give little room for the style of painting is dominated by the prospect, and jump directly from 400 to 900 (albeit with a negligible parentheses baroque, full of portraits of people with the wig). Bravi.

In Hungary there are no turnstiles in the subway. On the other hand there are the controllers nasty, arrogant and overbearing. Running in groups twelve. A solution to the problem of unemployment, I guess. And I 'finally felt like watching KONTROLL.

going to spend the evening in the midst of hundreds of young Eastern European dangerous.

Bolhpiac wanted to go to market, near the castle of Vajahunyad, but found the site occupied by a fair cosplay Oo the other hand I'm scrubbing the wlan.

Budapest view on a sunny day makes you think that if there were a culmination of the human species and we 'came close early last century. Everything else, after the disaster, and 'stubborn arrogance, we must stop them'.

After two days spent in the spa budapestine declare: the human being is made for be immersed in a tub of water temperature range of the thirty-three degrees and forty-two. The rest is vanity and wind.

Now I'm in the coolest clubs and central Budapest and here the beer costs two Euros. Too much! People cross the street, go to the match open 24 / 7 here before, and bought at eighty cents, and then drink in the park and come back out here. Another world, definitely.

The girl who does the night shift where to stay in the hostel is very nice and has some taste in music very congenial to me. (Ok ok I admit, it's all true but this status has been written with the sole purpose to make you rosicare).

Notes for Italians abroad: Budapest to make a coffee while not bad, they do so in Bratislava to Germany.

for future reference: the point where the Danube and the Morava confluence is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.

I say softly, because my experience is not quantitatively significant, but between the Slovak and Hungarian cuisine, the first man to win low.

the evening of the benches were filled with Primaciàlne Namestie carrying notebooks, netbooks, wifi phones, all unknown to sneak wlan. Channels

is in Bratislava. 1:2 ratio of men to women. Every two women, one is very beautiful. So there is a very beautiful woman for every man. And maybe some men are gay. Better that I go that tomorrow I wake up at the 830 ^ ^

is beyond the Iron Curtain again briefly. Customary tear.

back in the country most mediocre, most ignorant, racist most of Europe.

Schematics Of A Wall Furnace

Bike sharing in Turin - static analysis

Since last autumn in Washington in the second district are tentatively appeared some bicycles for a bike sharing service. Many speak of this mode of transport like what our cities will be able to lift the burden of mental distress caused the backwardness (and obesity) of those who decide not to raise their own ass (flaccid) from the seat of car by opting for more sustainable methods of transport. I think like all things bike-sharing also has its pros and cons, but all in all is a system with great potential to improve the quality of life. However, in this post I will give my personal opinion on the assembly of this bike and I will draw my conclusions.

the avoidance of doubt leave with what I liked and I leave the criticism last.

  • Brakes - 2 beautiful v-brake levers and aluminum calipers.
  • Transmission - Single speed with a good chain guard for no-mess, non-slip pedals with rubber inserts. Simple, effective and requires very little maintenance.
  • Front Large shopping basket.
  • picture frame without a top tube that easily climb into the saddle.
  • repairing Fenders generous splash even more annoying.

And now the painful note. Even more painful because some defects are present in the same places that I just praised.

  • Nowhere is it written that the front brake should be controlled by the left arm and back from the right, but usually it is on all the bikes, so what is the point that on this bike share has chosen to reverse the levers? This thing looks like a particularly cheap, but for example in the wet if one forgets that the slowdown is likely to end up reversed on the ground without much hesitation.
  • The crown measures 42 front teeth and the free wheel well 22 and moves around a wheel 26 ". We are facing a development worthy of metric a single speed mountain bike fit to face uphill on dirt roads, but not the paved area and almost completely flat in Turin. Just do not understand what sense to mount a confirmation report so short.
  • The saddle is attached to the frame with a nice quick release, but is locked in the media ... so people high or very low ones would face serious difficulties to ride on a deal like that. I understand that stuck with only a saddle quick release is easy prey for thieves and vandals, but it would be more practical to find some alternative system to allow for the adjustment, however, prevent theft.
  • The fork in the city is useless, especially if low quality: it weighs just. Much better than the spoked wheels with a high number of intersections.
  • Who had the idea of \u200b\u200bleaving a bike exposed to weather this was truly a genius: the unpainted parts were obviously rusty. The transmission is the first to suffer, but probably headset and wiring will suffer the same inevitable oxidation.
  • The service is open from 6 am until midnight ... But why? What is the point that if one wants to go out to drink a beer with the bike is forced to do hours of Cinderella?

Sorry to be so abrupt in the reviews, but a bike sharing system like this is just disgusting and I would not be surprised if no one not use it. The bikes are approximate and left to rot on the street. That's not how it is promoting cycling. I think that whoever had the bright idea to manage this service so poor are the same people who design bike lanes Turin who seems made to be injured. But surely the perpetrators of this massacre have not the slightest idea what it means to turn cycling into town, probably because the last time they saw a bike was in third grade.

If I can I'd try to take a ride in one of these means to test the service not only in terms of static.
