Book Review #2; Dead Aid by Dambisa Moyo

This particular does not need another review but i personally want to share my little bit of review.

Waiting on the Snowfall

Waiting on the Snowfall

The weather is not exactly predictable. This plays into the uncertainty of life itself but it is also human of me to be wondering why the snow is delaying here in Uppsala, Sweden.

You Cannot Eat Your Cake and Have It!
