I am still doing this as it’s an ongoing task.
This year, through my private trips and trips for work I visited the following towns and contries
Athens, the island of Thassos – GreeceAmsterdam – Netherlands (fairy tale citty, 80% of the people seem to think they are relative of Merry Poppins and no curtains combined with the freedom of thought there I think accounts for less bills from the shrink)
Leipzig – Germany (there is always something comforting in the order in Germany when you are tired of the opposite but then it’s terribly sad and empty when you get to look closely into it…)
Newcastle, Brighton, London – UK (simply very english and the north)
Millan – Itally (amazing personal experience with the Labyrinth and the only complete surrender to the culture as far as I could)
Barcelona – Spain (a bit disappointed when I got there as I have been dreaming about it for years and it did not exactly made my head dizzy, but I learnt a lot interesting facts and stories, and also learnt that the things I know less about and the things I do not expect and did read 10 encyclopedias about before I get somewehere are the things that fascinate me the most. Having come back home I get return in my memories with a warm feeling of joy and freedom, after all.)
Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Sukhothai, the islands of Phuket and Similan – Thailand. (amazing, the most gentle people on earth, the presence of buddhism in their every daily life and understandings was fascinating, their smiles, the nature – I can’t possibly put everythin in few words, just go and see it.)
It was quite of an year for travelling. Often, there was not enough time to absord everything before moving on, but I did get to explore or at least touch other cultures.
