In the print NYT edition, I frequently see advertisements featuring expensive jewellery worn by beautiful women, and I think I know who purchases this #jewellery for whom. - I ask myself, is it a form of prostitution if she marries him (or he marries her) solely for financial gain, to obtain wealth?

In the #Czech #Republic, you can travel by train to almost every corner of the country. It has the highest railway density in Europe, in terms of km of rail per square km (next: Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland). – I've spent a few days travelling through this beautiful country by train.

From now on: Whenever someone wants to discuss #Trump with me, saying that he's not so bad after all, that his policies also have their good sides (hello, right-wing conservative voters!), I'll stop discussing it and just show this one post from him. - You can't believe it, can you?
