"I am driving to the town where Melania Trump grew up. I read that there is a newly built statue of her. This must be her second sculpture because the rst one was made of wood but someone burnt it down. After shooting the bronze icon, I decided to treat myself to the famous Melania cake in the town center. A single slice costs 4 euros and I did not eat it there. The next day I wanted to taste it but it was too late - my parents already ate it.
