The British Library

I love books and wanted to visit the world's largest library in terms of total number of items long, long time ago and today came that day :) 

The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom and is the world's largest library in terms of total number of items. The library is a major research library, holding over 150 million items from many countries, in many languages and in many formats, both print and digital: books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, videos, play-scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings. The Library's collections include around 14 million books along with substantial holdings of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far as 2000 BC.

  2. Liuba, pare-mi-se că te simți în largul tău acolo, la Londra! Sincer, oriunde aș fi m-aș simți super bine, dacă aș ști că sunt înconjurată de cărți unde am o mulțime de prieteni credincioși la care să le spun toate durerile mele (aș vrea să nu fie nevoie:)).
    Pupici!

    1. Maria, ai dreptate ma simpt in largul meu aici si parca traiesc de ani buni :)) Sa stii ca nu am prea multi prieteni, am multi cunoscuti, insa prieteni devotati aici nu am, doar pe Dumnezeu si Alex si imi e de ajuns :)
      Iti doresc sa fii asa puternica precum esti si sa nu fie nevoie sa iti impartasesti nevoile cu cineva :)

      Te pup cu drag xx
