Замислете дека процесот на гласање на државно ниво е префрлен на интернет.

The Guifi.net network has grown over the past 15 years as a technological, social and economic project to provide Internet access nowadays to more than 80.000 people.

University of Cambridge is supposed to be one of the best universities in the world. As of 2020, Cambridge is ranked the world's third best university by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

This post is about my experience of living and studying at Cambridge.
