Back home!
Wednesday, April 7, 2004
So, I went with my mum to Brussels. She was working and I just walked around on my own for a couple of days... I remembered Brussels as an awful awful place, and you know what? I was wrong, it's lovely. I actually quite like it. Ok, it's tiny, and lots of beautiful buildings have been destroyed and horrible stuff built instead, and it rains a lot, but... It's nice. With a daily flea market, random wonderful Art Nouveau buildings, an international community, loads of nice shops, nice little restaurants, and loads and loads of antiques shops. And nice trams and buses. I just liked it. And the nice thing is, I've found some ideas for what I could do after uni. One thing is for sure, I'll have to leave London. At least for a bit. But I don't mind, really. I've been told that the best thing to do would be to work on the field for a couple of years, in an NGO in Africa, Asia or Latin America. Specialize in something, like, I don't know, family planning or stuff like that (which seems interesting). And then try to get a job at the European Commission, which would be perfect-oh so interesting-etc. World, I'm coming! So I'm a bit less scared of finishing uni now. At least I've got some idea of what I could do. Trying to find out where I should get my licence - France is cheaper (540 euros) but more complicated (I'll only be here for part of the summer), England is more expensive (around 770 euros) but a lot easier. But my official residence is still here in Paris so I'll need to check that. We'll see.

Oh dear! Fortunata te, io non so nemmeno quando mi laureerò... questo comunque immagino volgia dire che anche se farò l'Erasmus tu non sarai a Londra, giusto? Beh, cosa ci vogliamo fare? E cq non è detto, no? La vita in fondo è così strana! Per quanto riguarda la patente non saprei che dirti. Tanto fra PArigi e Londra il traffico è uguale... Non so, dipende, è più semplice, per te, imparare viaggiando sulla destra po sulla sinistra? Se è uguale, immagini userai di più la macchina in Inghilterra o in Francia/Italia?

Version

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I cannot describe my life better than a picture can.
And because my heaven is here, I'll wrap the world around it and live in a cocoon. Quoting from a favourite song, 'Letting the cables sleep' by Bush, in its incarnation as a remix. And I do wish the friend who introduced me to the song was here to see the way things turned out.
The photos used on this site were all taken by me and can be found on my Flickr account.
