Reunion after 10 years@English cafe

As I began learning Greek two months ago, I feel how difficult Greek is and realized the actual meaning of the phrase "It's all Greek to me."

Nostalgic Queen

I was glued to a CS TV program last Saturday, for it was a kind of documentary covering Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. I used to listen to hard rock music in my younger days. To tell the truth, I was a member of Queen's fan club. I had many Queen's LP records and disposed of them, since CDs became…
