The Visitor Roald Dahl NOT LONG AGO‚ a large wooden case was deposited at the door of my house by the railway delivery service. It was an unusually strong and well-constructed object‚ and made of some kind of dark-red hardwood‚ not unlike mahogany.

The stencilling on one side said that it had been shipped from Haifa by the m/v Waverley Star‚ but I could find no sender’s name or address. I tried to think

They teach us how to take the next step when we are in a difficult situation. They help to shape our life. It is impossible to become an educated person without books. Besides‚ books play an important role in upbringing our feelings‚ views and tastes; give us a lot of useful information. Frankly speaking I’m not a bookworm but

My favourite Saturday did not begin as you would picture one’s favourite day to be. Bleary eyed I awoke‚ momentarily forgetting where I was and rolling off the long‚ cushioned seat I had chosen for a bed. I came to the conclusion that a ferry boat was most definitely not the best place to rest for the night; what with people getting sea sick‚ loud chatter of those who clearly seemed intent on not sleeping at all and to top it all off my ipod had died! What luck. So there I was‚ musicless

I must it was a hard choice for me to choose my favourite dish‚ but I must say my all time favourite is the stewed ox-tail in red wine sauce. It is a Caribbean cuisine but it is so popular in other cultures that Chinese and western restaurants also make this dish. It can be served in a casserole‚ hot pot‚ or in a plate depending on the restaurant. Once the oxtails were simmering in the oven‚ the aromas were simply heavenly! The smell reminded me of Vietnamese pho from the star anise and cloves
