Joy

It seems we have been in Poland for ages since I managed unconsciously to post pictures from our trip to the glacier in Polish - once that happens it clearly means that time has come to start trying to move our lives in a direction of some more exotic place. Perhaps something not as extreme as Nigeria where I went to primary school for two years but somewhere where it is sunny and warm - we will move to Africa in step two of steering our lives into the excitement path...Nigeria came to my mind because we watched yesterday District 9. The other day on our way to Berlin in the car radio on BBC World we heard an official complaint by the Nigeria Minister of Culture against portraying the Nigerian as worst villains in the movie. I had a feeling that the whole humanity was portrayed as a bunch of total assholes and Nigerian looked quite decent in that comparison :)

Anyway today we watched Julie and Julia and enjoyed it very much. Perhaps because of the fact that Rita loves cooking in the same way those two loved it or perhaps because they were following their passion in life - though it was not exactly an easy way. I probably liked it very much also due to the fact that my uncle makes the best Polish food I have ever tasted. Every year it tastes more heavenly. I am not a fun of Polish cuisine but his Christmas dinners are amazing.

Our three days stint in Kaprun is something that made me feel the same way as I guess the two feel about cooking. I always loved snowboarding and the more I do it the more hooked up I get with it. Spice snowboarding with traveling and living in new places - here comes the perfect receipe for me!

Perhaps I will be able to do it with the little Leon pretty soon. They start teaching them at around 3 years so already in 2012 the three of us can go skiing/snowboarding together. Considering that he is very active in Rita's belly I think there should be no special problem in convincing him to do so...

Oh I needed this time the Christmas break big time! Having the best year in my life while touring the world and then getting into high speed corporate world was too big of a strain for me. Hopefully I recover enough by the time new year arrives.
