I registered FreedomWall.net with a vision to create a community-based website where members can share everything they think worth sharing in the internet.

But sometimes, travel could be equally stressful, especially when the weather and traffic conditions are not that cooperative. Hence, instead of going out of town, I spent one of my weekends within the city boundaries—in a place where the ambiance is close ... Read more
