How long is too long to wait?

Miercoles 7 de Agosto. Bueno, mi lugar de residencia es Leipzig. Se dice "Laiptsig". Vivo en un muy lindo WG (que es una abreviatura a la monstruosa palabra Wohngemainschaft o algo asi). Basicamente se trata de una casa, o mejor dicho un departamento, el ...

Wave Gotik Treffen Part the Second

Wave Gotik Treffen Part the Third
