Didn't even know that you can change your HQ. It's always been in Budapest, I already know that city with closed eyes.

I can see that you speak Romanian after the expression you used.. :)

To know something with the eyes closed (A cunoaște ceva cu ochii închiși) = To know something very well

That's a figure of speech used in English as well :P Although it would be more normal to say 'I know x with my eyes closed.'

My headquarters are in Vaduz for now, they will be in Riga, when the 2.0 is going to come out.

Or 'I know this like the back of my hand'.

I've never heard it used that way. The only version of the expression I've heard over here is "that's so easy I could do it with my eyes closed." I've never heard "I could see it with my eyes closed" or anything like that.

I've edited my post because I used the wrong word, like instead of know

The most common form of the expression is indeed "I can/could do x with my eyes closed", and in the context we were originally discussing the phrase KubaJAM posted is more commonly used, but I've heard it as I wrote it too. Or maybe it's just me :P

I didn't use a common expression, I just tried to be a bit different with my English :mrgreen:
Sorry if I offended any native English speaking person.

Used to be München for a long time. Now I mostly use the garage I have got in St. Petersburg.
I only buy garages to change the license plates on my truck from time to time. So right now I'm driving a Mercedes with a Russian plate. :)
