Summer of 2012

Once again i arrived in rainbow country.

This time i flew with our Chinese neighbours. Four flights to get where i wanted to be. From Alice to Melbourne, Melbourne to Ghuang zongh , something like that anyway, from there to London, to finally get to Brussels. Flying with a Chinese airline company is an experience, i can tell you that. A nine hour flight with no choice of movies, only 9 hours of strange kung fu and subtitles that are to far away to even read them. It`s like being on another planet. A language , i even couldn't`t guess what they telling. Lucky , the 14 hour flight to London had at least a private screen , where i could choose between three English movies and 21 Chinese movies. So , i did know those English movies pretty well by the end of the flight.

Brussels, life of the bourgondic pleasures. But , i was on a mission. No time to enjoy the bourgondic lifestyle. So i thought, but my eyes and taste were bigger then my will . I still managed to get 7 kilos heavier on the return flight.It`s a good thing they don`t weigh you on a flight, and charge extra money for the extra kilo`s you take back or put you in quarantine because you smuggle extra fat.

A yearly tradition is in working. A gathering of the cousins and nieces. It`s the second time in a row we managed to have a memorial night.  It was a pity , not all of them were available,  but understandable on the short notice we had to arrange the meeting. But next time we`ll do better. So we can start this tradition , once a year , the gathering of memories and futures. And keep the date on our calender marked in red.

I was on a mission, no doubt about that. Laying in a swimming pool in lovely company.  Days of wonderful relaxing. playing in the pool. Waking up , opening your eyes  , and seeing that everything is changed. My hometown is changed by name.

It`s amazing how life can develop if you allow it. If you are open to every possibility and open for every change , good or bad. It doesn`t really matter as long we see the good things in it. Returning to Rainbow country was a trip i even couldn't`t dream of . And i did a few trips.

 Visiting a fairy tale land , riding rollercaosters, exploring dungeons, gliding trough water pipes, dual bike riding.  It was a joy ride this trip. Emotionally and fiscally. Things changed for good. I`m no longer waiting at a red light. I`m racing towards a new unknown future .
