• Taken by my friend with whom I have worked together in DRC during July 2003 – February 2004 ( 8 months) has just returned to Kinshasa for yet another business assignment.
  

On Sun, Jan 17 voted at Ukrainian Presidential elections at the Consulate General of Ukraine in Prague. I have voted for the fresh blood in Ukrainian politics, supporting the youngest of all candidates - Yatsenyuk. Voting process appreared to me as effective, professional, fast, transparant, polite. I have enjoyed it. Then together with friends had a lunch at one of my Prague's favourite places - Cafe Calma. Secret behind my preference is that it is at the Kievskaja street (Kiev in Ukraine is my home town). In photos.

Be aware of possible phishing/scam/identity theft, if you ever dealing into person using this credentials:
- Rav Valeria
- Anne smith valeria
- smithvaleria27@yahoo.com
- +447024023950

So it is just a warning, can't accuse anybody.. just double check all the information very very careful. Most likely the person behind this credentials is not going to help you, yet instead can fool you.

while looking for a new apartment in Prague I noticed the add on Craigslist.org that some person from UK is there on business with his family and offering to live in his Prague flat in a meanwhile for a rent way below the market value, yet also in addition for a good maintenance of the flat. the add offered that the keys would be shipped from UK by DHL... suggesting it would happen AFTER the rent money + damage deposit be transferred to the bank acocunt of the person.

Following with the person, he has declined to provide any confirmation of his identity. Also the phone number could not be called from skype - it looks is is some special pre-paid or number that you can't track identity of the person behing it. Also done a due dilligence search for the person and there are suspiciously no information on the net about him/her... except manbe simlar rent posts for the flat in Edinburg....

So the more I folloew up the more I got the feeling it is a trap. Maybe it was not... I'm posting this information to share my experience as a reminder to be more careful, do due dilligence online and never shre/revelal critical personal information (money, ID numbers) to somebody whom you don't know well or somebody who is not willing to open to you (and share relevant identity information) in return.

Fantastic cartoon. Strongly recommend! BONZAI за РОДИНУ!!!
