Strange Situations That Remind Me of My Birth Place


  • on the train, coming back home from a day of hard work finishing up a project: I look out of the window, it is a dark winter evening and I see a house by the train tracks, and it is an odd sight as I can discern exactly what the entrance looks like, with its walls made of planks of wood, illuminated by only ine light bulb, the garage roof overhead and a window made of horizontal glass panels. 
  • Reading a book, it is a short story by Jorge Louis Borges, and it is placed in buenos aires. I can feel the summer wind of the south, that precedes a storm, on my face, bringing relief to the extreme heat, and I don't experience it in this country, and only people from that part lf the world can understand exacly what the main character is experiencing.


Many times we perceive the world with our memories.

Story of - Frogs and Raspberry Beer.

...these are the two things that are vividly stuck in my memory from that trip, needless to say I am talking about a French town.

Colmar is lovely, with its canals and pretty houses! It is a lil touristy, but worth it!




St. Martin's Church is impressive, and we had the privilege to see a stork sitting at the top! It is gothic, and feels like gothic...the inside is gothic and the outside too. I love gothic style so I was happy! When I am near something from that period I always feel like what I am living can't be real, and that we must be in a book about some sort of secret society that meet at midnight and light a fire in the dungeons praying to some strange god that we will never know about, and they are plotting to conquer the world through some really smart move, like making everyone poor so that they can buy whatever they want...so to speak.

The half timbered houses are adorable, their makers worked very hard with creativity and style, being in contrast with the church, for when I look at them I immediately think of happy families who work hard and meet at dinner for a lovely meal prepared by aunty Freya.

This is a town to be visited asap!
