5 Random Things

I was tagged by MiKa to post 5 random things about myself. That's some new strange game of art bloggers...

So:

1. I think the driving tram is one of the best professions of the world.
2. I like non-alcoholic beer more than alcoholic. There is a bit strange thing in Pilsen - city of one of the famous brewery of the world.
3. I came to believe that to be unskilful has some advantages.
4. When I was a child I desired to be a water sprite. I was fascinated by two lives - above the water and under the water.
5. Now when I am writing these sentences my wife is doing the ironing.

Now I've got to tag other 5 people. Hope they wouldn't be angry...
