"Fontan" is the place for
the rich people of Odessa. Here possible to understand that such peoples have no taste in architecture: houses of these guys are very big, have 2...5 floors and are surrounded by the stone fence with height 2..3,5 meters. Such houses can't be cosy- they look like building of Supreme Soviet. Owners of such houses have big belly, bald head, big amount of big dogs, big cars, big and thick gold chain on their neck. But their woman companion is very fragile and young. May be, one part of the owner's body is not very big? May be in such way, he want to compensate for this ...small defect? |
