Just finished reading an article about the findings in the Polish city of Malbork. The city was formerly called Marienburg where people of German descent lived. Though it was not the first mass grave found in the Polish city, but it was the biggest thus far. It contained about 2000 bodies. Believed to be Germans who died in times towards the end of WWII. Not only men but also women and children.

How they died and how they happened to be there, nobody had any real answers except theories. The bodies were completely naked when they were buried, thus no personal items were found. No clothes, no rings, no watches. Nothing were found but bones.

It is such a tragedy and I truly feel sorry for them. Those piles of bones were once walking, talking people, who once were happy, laughed, celebrated and even had hopes. None of them would have thought that their dreams and hopes would have been shattered by the war and they ending up killed brutally and buried in a massive hole. Forgotten.

Indeed a tragedy.

If you ever had a pet, you will definitely have faced flea problem at least once. I don’t have a dog or a cat, but my aunt had a dog (named Shaggy) that had a flea problem. She totally had no idea where Shaggy got them from. What we know was, once he got it, it was not easy to rid of them.

Fleascontrol.com is a website that offers tips and advices on how to deal with flea problem. Be it dog fleas, cat fleas or even home infesting, human biting fleas.

Did you know that Lavender, eucalyptus and mint can be used as a natural way of repelling fleas? Well now you know. I actually read that fact from the website.

For more interesting information like that, do check the website for yourself.

As an Asian living in Europe I find myself looking forward to find friends who are Asians. Even if they are not from the same country as I am. Most probably there are something that we can relate to or what we can call it as common grounds.

There is a website that is dedicated for Asian chat, but it can be used  by anyone of any race. Therefore, either because one is looking for other asians to chat with, or from a different ethnic that wants to make friends with Asians, to know their culture and etc, this website is the right place to be. The website that I am talking about is Asian Chat City at asianchatcity.com.

Feel free to check it out.
