Returning
For some reasons I had to make some readjustments in regards
to my travel planning. I had, unfortunately, to cut off a month of traveling
and set the date of my return to November 10th. However, I was able
to include instead, somehow as a final firework to my round trip and a treat to
myself, 3 days in Hong Kong! That means
I will leave Manila on November 1st, stay a week in Kota Kinabalu
for a vacation at the beach, travel afterwards to Hong Kong and will then
return finally and after all to my beloved hometown of Berlin.
Even though I am somewhat sad that I slowly have to make
arrangements for my return I can also not wait to see my friends again and
sleep in my own bed. I always thought that by traveling the world you lose a little
bit the tights to what you call home- but now, after experiencing travelling
for quite a while I would argue they are not getting lost, they are changing,
adjusting and getting modified. I cannot tell if I have become more mature,
wise, smarter or better looking… (well – I am always good looking)…but I can
tell that I have learned to cherish even more the precious moments with my friends,
not only in Berlin, but also in all the other cities around the globe. - Anyways -for me, now, I must admit I am just
really looking forward to get engaged again in my everyday life in my neighborhood in Berlin; as a
friend just recently told me: “Having everyday paradise around you can become
really intense.”
Upcoming Week
However- I am sure that until then a few more challenges and
adventures are waiting for me! On my list for next week only: join two days of
meetings with a delegation of the World Bank, collecting the first empirical data
for my thesis, both quantitative and qualitative and learning how to surf.
–Could be worse I guess…
