I like being alone. I understood long ago that alone was not a synonym of lonely. Far from it, but I just don’t need people around me. Not meaning I don’t enjoy company… Au contraire! When I left for Copenhagen, I realized I had spent the last 6 years in the company…… Continue reading Solitaire…
Yeah, I miss you Denmark… That was a few minutes before landing in Copenhagen, just over two months back. You had put your most beautiful sunset on, just for my arrival. Solnedgang… I was about to meet with you at last. To see you live, to hear you, feel you, taste you… I was about…… Continue reading Jeg savner dig…
In the early nineties, my father got hired to work in a bauxite mine plant, in Guinea. We moved to a small town, Kamsar, that was built by the company, CBG. Here are a few, randomly picked tales from my 5 years spent there. (Note the giant poodle pup just above the country’s name… It…… Continue reading Kamsar, random tales… The black panther
Sharing is a great thing. We are usually taught at very young age how to share. Learn to share your toys if you want to make friends on the playground… My mother would say… Then I learned to share meals with loved ones, to share gifts on special occasions like birthdays or holidays… I even…… Continue reading Time zone blues…
Today’s my 12th day in Denmark now, and there is one thing that followed me since day one… For as long as I have souvenirs about travelling, I remember my parents telling me that being a Canadian was a good thing, travel wise. I couldn’t quite understand why, but I accepted it for what it…… Continue reading Oh Canada…
Due to unverified but still concerning enough information, there has been a slight change of program regarding my upcoming trip. After thinking it over, I decided that Denmark wasn’t all that fascinating after all. The language is hellish to speak and/or understand, and there was really so little to visit anyway! No, I have set…… Continue reading Slight change of plans…
I bought myself new earbud headphones a few days ago. Tangle-free for that matter, and I thought to myself “Wow! That is a killing idea! No more untangling!! Untangling headphones has taken sooooo much of my precious time in the past!” Well, that was before New headphones met Old headphones in my bag. Either the…… Continue reading Tangled love…
Dear Mom and Dad, I woke up this morning in Albania. I was a bit confused at first, not quite sure if I was still dreaming, but it seems that I really am in Vlora. I just didn’t want you to worry while I find out what is going out here… I apparently live…… Continue reading Bons baisers d’Albanie…
While having a conversation about vacations, I thought about my trip to Cuba a few years back… A lot of people here in Québec go for places like Cuba, Dominican Republic and Mexico when it is time to book their vacations… It really is not surprising knowing the 4 Fs ( see my earlier post “Frette”)…… Continue reading Under the Cayo Largo sun…
On December 8th of last year, I made a public request for a hug, thinking it would be harmless since the potential hug-receiver was in Denmark, with no reason to think he would show up in Québec anytime soon, and I wasn’t about to go to Denmark either, as much as I longed for it……… Continue reading Danish bureaucracy…
