I write with a fountain pen. It looks better, has more class, and basically my ballpoint writing is incomprehensible.

Then there’s also a part which is built by architects from Amsterdam. You can imagine what that looks like. Canals, bridges, and a town where smoking weed is the main priority.
And of course there’s this thing:
