The day he landed and handed over the moisturizer, he narrated a story about how he got hold of Mustella. He enquired in about 10 shops without luck and started wondering if such a  brand existed. He showed the name of the brand to his friend, who confused him even more. The friend suggested to read it as "Must alla" which means "it is not a MUST" in English. Mr cousin was wondering if I actually meant telling him that i needed a moisturizer, but "it is not a MUST". Holy crap! P.S. Mustella is a baby moisturizer which has a lovely smell.

The beginning was interesting and someone caught me in the hallway and conveyed his opinion, which was that I could lead the initiative. God knows what he spotted in me? I was never inspired enough to get involved wi
