About Yossarian...

I am an economist who rides a train to work in the morning and bikes for fun in the evening. A view of your city or an interesting building would please me greatly. Or, send a postcard with a boat, a plane or a train.

If you don't know what to write, tell me they charge for a cup of coffee in your town.

Write to me in french or russian, or english, if you prefer.
