""In love with the wind" is my brand

We builded the conrete foundation of the castle. I decided to tell a joke and told to a local man next to me that, according the ancient legend we have to put soem man inside of the column. The man started to think and confirmed me: "I will find it".

My chidhood was very hard. I moved from my village with two different socks.
