| January 30, 2010, 22:54 An ordinary Saturday. For some time, for our Saturday was, as many days today, certainly not normal. Since mid 2008 we started planning our trip around the world, every day is special. This Saturday was a trip around the world Saturday. World. This weekendse day we arranged our trip from behind the screen. Details, admittedly, but not unimportant matters. Judica has made contact with option 3 on our list of potential places to stay Moskovitische. Our hotel in Beijing is now settled and for a small problem that we saw with the charging of Judica's camera, we also have an elegant solution / gadget found. What a small world is it anyway. Everything can be controlled from the couch. Only the actual travel needs - how poor! - Still to be done outside. That means suffering, dirty feet and only at night from the couch from the photos the day experience. Hmm. What does a man himself  Oh, and today I have my MiniMe cleared and travel prepared. Too late now to even go back on my decision to a mini-laptop to take to the Far East (from where the small emergency probably will). Since today is running Windows 7 on there and that's excellent! Everything works fast and smoothly and it all looks very slick. Only those small keys remain accustomed. Every fifth word on the screen that I am trying to get get my fingers in knots: do mini me! Dewit michael | Posted in The journey | No Comments » January 21, 2010, 21:56 By the light of the major fundraising which today controls the media, I have today and yesterday some work done on the website. Perfectionism is primarily the reason why the site was never completely finished will come, but it surely is fun. There is a mini-card added to each message that indicates exactly where it comes from. For now still buy all posts in 's-Gravendeel, but within 5 weeks we hope to change this. Today for the first time since a week back has been working. Since the start of my contract days wear slowly also to be felt. With some regularity I asked a colleague: "What about the preparations for the trip?" With a tingling sense of inadequacy I confess that there is not much more to regulate falls. Most of it is also regulated, I think. How much should it be regulated? Just let's go, right? Oh, another TB skin test done. I was thinking of a scratch in the arm with a quick answer to the question if I have TB, but that seems an outdated image. It was an intradermal injection! My God, what a state. And Monday, then come back for the results. And that is to be understood literally, I understood. The test provides a rash if I have TB. Yet see nothing. No surprise.

In one way or another it seems so unreal, because our life now consists of s normal things like work, friends, shopping, errands and other things. But in 40 days will no longer be so. We are nervous and excited, the voltage is still reëeler. I'd like to think this trip me some more insight into the meaning of life and sense of clarity about what and how I want in my life. Here in the Netherlands there is a TV show, 'Boundless Love', which is about the Dutch people who fall in love with a foreigner and decide to move there and to leave everything behind. These people, especially women, often move to a country where living standards are at least said lower than normal. Naja, standard of living, luxurious things. I admire that ... but life there is and seems so much simpler. If you live in a small town, why would you need to have a mobile? You can also just walk around. Let alone that video chatting over the internet is to explain. You paid money to be able to communicate with someone with whom you can go along. Life seems more pure there. I hope we on our journey opnieuew come into contact with that which is pure, and less jaded ... because it somehow seems like we live in a reality close to the reality of 'The Matrix' is. Yes we have a few choices, but the most important decisions are made by companies and governments who are imbued with political games and self-interest ... at all. Today I have seen the film Avatar, which was very good. The film shook me awake. In children's books and perfect worlds it is always human nature or the beauty aanvalt.en EITs otherwise it's always the "others" who save nature and help to survive. That should say something about us ... we teach children that nature is good, but most children of this age are scarcely real to see nature. Argh ... I'm running through my brains and will try to stop. This website is about the journey preparations and of course about my philosophical corridors. I hope this trip will teach me to reassess my life and help me decide where and how I want life from then on. juutsel | Posted in The journey | No Comments » January 20, 2010, 18:53 We are leaving, we are really going to go on this trip. Somehow it Seems so surreal, for now our lives consist in or somwhat normal thiongs like work, friends, groceries, errands and other stuff. But in 40 days this will be no more. We are getting so excited and the tension is getting more real. I would like to think That this trip will give me some more sense of life, and sense or for what I want to be living. Here in the Netherlands there is a tv show which is about Dutch people who have fallen in love with a foreigner and Decided to move there and leave everything behind. There people, mostly women, or at move to a country where the life standards are so much different then They Are Used to. I admire that ... but life is so much more simple there. If you live in a small village, why would you need a cellphone, or be bootable to talk to someone over the computer? Life Seems to be more pure there. I Hope that on our trip we will once again get in touch with what is pure in the world ... Because it seems like somehow Already we are living a life Which comes close to what is Described in the Matrix. Yes we still have some choices but the main Decisions are being made by corporations and goverments Which are poluted with political games and searching for what makes them better ... at all costs. I just went to see the movie Avatar, All which was very good but Also shook me up. In childens books and perfect worlds it is always human nature, attack who or what is beautiful ... and it's always the 'others' who survive and protect the good. That Should say something about us ... That we teach kids naturally kids is good but most of the time Hardly get to see nature. Argh ... I'm rambling and will try to stop my brain, I just Hope that this trip will teach me to revalue my life and help me Decide where and how I want to live it from then on. juutsel | Posted in Before the trip | No Comments » 51 ° 47 'N, 4 ° 37' E January 10, 2010, 18:27 The new year has started and the journey now feels even closer than last week. Yesterday was the bar and angry again, but some people have super handshcoenen hat and pulled out of the closet and help us get to our previous anti-cracking property and clearing all the stuff to the store to spend. It was, in particular by the commitment of everyone, really very good and apart from what the pain is completely gone super. We arrived back in the afternoon .... and my love got the great idea a little more gas than is necessary .... and as we glided. We pushed through and run .. quiet and slow but not stop until 180 degrees on the road we have a tune from the curb stop. A big dent in the rim ... but you should we still managed by the MOT. Today we sit back in and do other important things ... tax ... what website and our muscles relax. Tomorrow back to work ... for 6 weeks, and that's where I still can enjoy.  juutsel | Posted in The journey | No Comments » 51 ° 43 'N, 4 ° 17' E January 10, 2010, 18:26  Last weekend we once again moved. Moving stuff, preferably in boxes, is a hobby for us to be. In recent months we have so often packed with all kinds of crap that I walk dragging me by my tax return this afternoon really just wondering if my appeal is not to 'mover' would have to change. Our household is now spread across the country. Some still here in 's-Gravendeel and a larger portion stored in an old refrigerator in Den Bommel (a village in the heart with a bronze statue of Mr. Ollivier B. Bommel). Our refrigerator has number 29. Same number as our house here in 's-Gravendeel and also the day Judica and I were born. A nice coincidence. Now I'm an evening meal on our anti-squat stove. What our house might be forced to taste exists, I still try to bring in the meal. Usually, with not too much results. Even so, I appreciate in this cold, harsh challenge us (temporary) roof even more. Dewit michael | Posted in The journey | No Comments » | |
