The fourth dimension

When Alenka yesterday told me it was already 6pm I thought it's was the typical mis-timing many people get, especially over the weekend... When I later discovered my watch was slowing down some pillars of my life scrambled down: time, my time!.. Maybe those who complain Prague isn't the mosty sunny city ever are quite right: my watch runs on solar power! However my first thought went to this almost 4 months here, which have been of quite some intensity: I'm feeling like in a time blender where my past and future mix into a strange, enjoyable, at times stressing, present.

I've changed job and I?ve changed house too. The overlapping of the two things hasn't made it the best time of my life, but I'm now getting settled again: my old job was going all right but I somehow got across a better offer (same job, just better package, including future possibilities)? Old home wasn't bad, but far (according to Prague standards) and the landlord a master bitch! We now got, and it wasn't easy, a much more central place, a bigger house and a flatmate who seems a very nice guy...

The WE from the last sentence above is Veronica and I... In my humble opinion emotional and rational intelligence have met in this Venezuelan girl and moving together was as logistically convenient as feelings driven...

Sirle and Alena, two good memories of my Estonian and Australia experiences have been here since I arrived? then Eoin, an Irish who used to live in Estonia too, came for a short visit? Recently also met Alberto and Kasia (still Estonia)?
Dean, the English guy who took over my Swiss role, came to Prague for vacation... we spent some time hanging around and it was good and smart fun mirroring the person he is!

A couple of weekends ago I was in Swizterland where the real first reunion of the Swiss AIESEC MC I was part of in 2003-2004 took place.. . Happy birthday to Fabu, the first one to turn 30 and thank you Caroline, Joelle , Fabu and Selim for being always a family!

My previous time in Austria was on a car trip from Switzerland to Prague, when I asked Marek to stop the car: I opened the door and put my right foot on the ground. For over 3 years that was all my interaction with the Austrian territory; getting out of the train a few weekend ago, I made sure my left foot was the first one landing... it takes little to make a trip such a good fun... Veronica and I enjoyed the romantic city and the funny guy playing the hammer at the classical and opera concert in Vienna gave us a few nice smiles... not that we were lacking any though!

Despite all I have experienced, I'm still fascinated by the time dimension: it's incredible what you can squeeze in less then 4 months; and then there is this feeling... that is still just the beginning...
