2011 Oscar winners

Last night the Oscar ceremony took place, with The King's Speech being the great winner.

This post is just to follow our 2011 predictions, to notice that we were right in 3 out of the 7 categories.

It's true that we guessed the easy ones, like the lead actor and actress and the animated movie, but, in the end, the statistics matters: we're getting better compared to last year, when we guessed only 2 out of 7 :)))

Already looking for the next year's ceremony.

Until then, the next US event to be followed: the NBA play-offs.

 

Trip to Linz, Austria - part 1

Linz has a nice historical city centre, with a few tourist attractions. If you are in the area you should check it out.

Another sex shop in Luxembourg - Ladies First

Given the significant number of people accessing our blog in their search for BlueVision, we thought to present them with some choice.

Centrally located, on 3 rue de Chimay, it is called Ladies First and it also has an website: www.ladiesfirst.lu.

They advertise themselves as a "love shop" and not a sex shop, but they are in the same business. It was probably out of the need for differentiation in such a competitive market.
