And knowing yourself, you will be able to know others. We did it.

Convenience has never been an important part of my life. My parents died when I was five, and I lived with my uncle Lam. He was a renowned archaeologist. We often went on expeditions - what are the amenities there? Of course, it's great to be able to bathe properly in a large tub, or calmly go about your business without straightening the candle.
