Is it his nearest of the human voice
is it more expressive vocals
that invent
every breath of duduk
when an artist carries in him
from all eternity
Then means
from the depths of time,
never ceased to exist,
all the joys, all the pains,
victories and injuries,
fine, new beginnings,
all storms, all the upheavals
no people, more than we are heirs
will have had to cross
drawing from the depths of his despair
in the hell of a cruel fate
faith, hope
that still exists
at the dawn of morning miraculous
the golden thread woven for millennia
that binds us forever in space and time

Singapore is the most expensive city in the world for expatriates, according to new data from the Economist Intelligence Unit.
It takes the title from Tokyo, thanks in part to inflation, high transportation costs, high utility costs, and an excess of luxury retailers.
Tokyo remains the priciest location for everyday food items, while European cities tend to be priciest for recreation and entertainment.
New York City ranked #26 in EIU’s ranking, a jump of only one spot from 2013. In comparison, it rose 19 spots the previous year.
The survey calculates cost of living based on prices for 160 products and services, including food, clothing, rent, and transportation. Each cost of living index is set in relation to New York’s, which is fixed at a base of 100. We’ve selected a few price points to highlight costs in the world’s most expensive cities.
