His current income was nothing compared to what he previously had piled.

Especially the special exhibitions, the small happenings and the private art

At the following stop, Uno got off.

Once upon a time, in this part of the city, it was known to house a home for
retarded and mentally ill, but that was a long time ago. Now police and military
