What we yield and what comes after

In July I left Brazil, I went back home to Mexico without a clear perspective. What came after was 3 months in Germany, knowing each other. Then Mexico, Guatemala and Belice together. Now I am in Bonn discovering a new city, new people and a new challenging and inspiring job. Sometimes what we yield is just a small price to get the chance to discover the new adventures to come.

When in Brugges (aka Serendipity weekend)

Written on July 2008

"Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for."
Lawrence Block

So we decided to go to Brugges and explore our subconscious, this was one of the few times we had before we are completely busy with the day to day. Personally I had a bunch of things to think about and I wanted to explore what my subconscious was telling me.

This doesn't happen very often to me and I am the type of person who always thinks that everything should have a logical and rational explanation... maybe not.

Anyway, one day before we decided impulsively to go to Brugges and just disconnect from everything and everyone else and see where it could take us.

So we decided to have a Serendipity girly weekend there trying to find the meaning of the dreams, and read whatever our mind was trying to tell us and go with the "not-planned" flow, if it was meant to happen then it happened.

Thanks Kirsty for this really cool weekend in Belgium, I will not forget and it helped a lot! Let's keep on looking for shisha places!

Random things I like from Europe...

Published on Wednesday, July 23, 2008

After leaving San Juan, Puerto Rico I started my journey through Europe. I went from San Juan to Frankfurt to Nurnberg to Erlangen, a couple of days later to Prague (I will always love Prague!) and then to Berlin (this city won my heart!). After I left to Brussels and Dworp and now I am in Rotterdam.

I have to say that every single city has something amazing, but the simple fact of being in Europe makes me realize some small things I enjoy. Here my list of cool things from Europe.

Random things I like from Europe:
Sparkling water
Breakfast (fruhstuck)
Orange fanta
Riding a bike (or trying)
The traffic lights in Berlin
The windows not fully open
Ikea
Czech beer
MC offices in Belgium and Czech (thank you for hosting me there!)
Potato salad
Prague itself!!
Highways in Germany
My favourite house in Dworp
Belgian chocolate and waffles
Trains stations
The peeing kid fountain in Belgium
Fries with mayo
Dutch cheese
The landscape going from Czech to Germany
The fairy tale architecture
The diversity of languages and learning about them
The chocolate cake at the bakery in Brussels :p
