Happens that today I went to buy some garbage bags to Migros, the store where your'e supoused to buy them....., the fact is that I never bought them before, so I didnt know in which section they where, and none of the ladies there talked english.., what a problem..., half an hour just looking for garbage bags......
At the end I found them..., but I got as a conclusion, that sometimes the German is important.

Rainy Day...
It's 2:45 and it's very rainy, plus cold weather....., I don't want to work today anymore..., just go home, lay in the couch and watch a movie.... :P
The Dudes !
Since we got gmail we have been talking almost every day, laughing, joking, advising (I'm Dr Heart for you Lufer), talking about almost any topic that you can ever imagine....., but the most important is that in one way or another you've been a kind of support for everything.... Thanks for that guys..

I had to Change...
I was really happy with my Blog at Aiesec, but the main issue or point that made me look for another blog is that most of the time the servers were down, so I wasn't able to post, and also a few people reported me that my site was constantly down and very slow. That's why, now I'm starting this brand new Blog powered by Google. Lately, I can say that I'm a Google Fan. I've gmail (Since June 2004) which is very good (Thanks for the advertisement), I've got "Picassa" that's a software that works as a kind of album for the digital pictures.., very cool by the way.., I highly recommend you to download it if you have tons of pictures and want a good tool to view and organize them.
And today I read that Google is developing a web browser, which will include gmail, blogger software, the search engine and also another bunch of things. They're developing too a small operative system based only in searching....., I read "Wired".

No more publicity in my Mailbox.
Each day, when I come from work I find my mailbox full of publicity (Magazines, newspapers, flyers, etc). I would enjoy them, but sadly all of them are in German, so no way.... , that's why I created this sticker, to make the mailman understand that I dont want any kind of publicity ever again.

Schwarzenegger model? Will the kids study this government model in the years coming?
What IS the Schwarzenegger model? First, he's a political hybrid who can't easily be labeled, categorized, or dismissed as a conventional hack. If Clinton was famous for practicing the "politics of promiscuity" - his willingness to try out a variety of ideological positions - then Schwarzenegger is a political cross-dresser. He's the quality-of-life nut whose pro-environment views sit comfortably with Democrats; he's the self-made multimillionaire boss who embraces the Republican's laissez-faire approach to business.

Extension ???
Yesterday I was walking and met with one of the big bosses here.., I said hi, she replyed and also asked me about when's my contract going to end..., so I replied on the 12th of January, so she told me: "We can extend it, what do you think? Would you like to ?"............... Well, my answer was "Maybe..", but honestly is a deep and clear NO. I want to get back first, finish my university.., and do a lot of things that i've been planning long time ago. Also, I feel happy because of that, because I saw that what I've done here is good, if not she won't be telling me that........., thats a fact.

Betrayed.....
Today I feel so fucking betrayed; dont know what to feel..., it's like a mix of bad emotions.., a lot of bad emotions that don't mix well and as a consequence I don't really know what to feel or how to feel........ I really hate when somebody says something and does something completely different......., also tired of fucking fake people.., ignorant people.., selfish people................................., a lot of ideas are coming right now to my mind...., BUT I have to keep it calm.............., the answers will come later also the solutions.

Paris....
This time, I wanted to do something as Paris, something different... Thats why I did a colage of some pictures that I took there... Casually, I found a store called "Esteban", they sell perfumes and fragances there....., thats very particular !! JeJeJeJe.
Well, what can I say..., Paris is Unique.., its arquitecture..., constructions, churchs, places..., EVERYTHING!
The first question that my head did when I saw the Eifel tower was: How many people has taken pictures of this huge tower??? I think is one of the places in the world with more camera-shots...
I stayed there with my cousin.., it was a great time..., also we went to a party on saturday.., it was cool !! PARISIENE people is definetively very open to foreigners.., I think that's one of the firsts times that somebody talk to me in a Disco without me being the first one in doing it...

And then..., I moved to a new flat !!
And then, when I arrove from Lugano, that week I moved to a very nice new flat, Im really happy here, my room is awesome, the living room and the kitchen also... Is really fresh, I like that a lot !!! And also, I have a view to an old train station......, so theres no car, no trams.., nothing that could disturb my nice dreams !!
Back to Lugano
Lugano...., if I were able at the beginning to choose a city where I would liked to do my trainesheep, it would have been Lugano..., what a wonderfull city.
The lake its just great, the arquitecture very nice and different, and the people are more friendly.
I left Basel on thursday night, and arrove there at 11PM; stayed at Jakup's place, the OCP of LC Lugano..., you're great man !! We had a party that day, smoked some narguila (it was my first time and was great.., really relaxing by the way). The next day, we just chilled out..., too much drinks.... jejee.
In the night we went to a local bar, a little bit of fun, I was really tired, also the others, so we went early to bed that day.
On saturday morning Jakup and I went to Bellinzona, to Valentina's place, were I ate a really ITALIAN pasta, made by real italians..., it was really good to eat with her family..., also i was missing mine. Later on, we went to Locarno, also really nice, and after that Jakup invited me to his place, were we had a real ARABIC food with his family (He's from Siria), also with his parents..., that was great.
I left that day at 19:23 , arriving at Basel at 23:23, really tired, but it worthed !!!!

Lan partying...
Long time ago without lan partying....
We played at feldbergstrasse 48, more known as swissnology an information technology company. Mark, marc, roger and me.
We played Battlefield Vietnam, awesome game !! I kicked their asses...
After that I went upstairs to pick up Brett and his girlfriend to go out for a while. We took a beer first at the flat, and then we headed towards NT Area..., Im not so sure about this name.., the point is that this is a really different place because is located in an industrial complex full of trains, trucks, warehouses, the typical night escenario where a pretty woman is walking throught it, and suddenly somebody is following her, the woman starts to get scared and walks a little bit faster looking back again and seeing that the extranger is doing the same. She, desperately starts running and then falls in the wet and used pavement. The extranger approaches her, take a deep look at her scared eyes, and takes out his sharp knife and cut her throat. She starts bleeding and tries to scream for help, but she cant talk, nobody can listen to her.., she dies.
That's the way it looked, no more no less. After going throught this passage, we found the place, 5 different dance floors, two of them are open air, and the remaining ones are indoors. First we went to one of the open air places, it was kind of psycodelic. Big umbrelas in the grass, like the umbrellas that people use for the beach, being lighted by a pink light that make you beleive that the umbrellas are pink and not white. Those places were completely full..., so we decided to head to one of the indoors, the first one really crappy, so we gived it another try and went to a second one. The music was ok, but it was very empty..., so there were no atmosphere at all, so we just sat down for a few minutes and then took off. First we headed to Brett's place, I had to pickup my backpack there, after that I went to my place and falled asleep.

Zürich Street Parade 2004.
31 Trucks full of people jumping and dancing with the musik and the beats !
This was just and simply great.
I'm amazed how much people has been gathered by the electronic culture...
Talking about it, I'm going to make a similitude:
The electronic musik is like the contemporary art, is something that takes you time to start enjoying and appreciating it.

Six Months !!!
Time flyes !! Now I've been here for 6 months.., and it seems like only 2 for me.
There are also new trainees, and also others already left.
I hope to see you later Chris....
I think that the small face down the picture will describe us both having in mind all the tricks that we played together on other people (Specially the landlord. To see the landlord story please refer to my "Insanity files".) ! Jajajaa, those were good times !!

I can't talk to a child !! Isn't that incredible ??
It may sound crazy, but the other day we went to a Greek Restaurant in the french border, and I was sitting in the table, waiting for my pizza, and a small child started to make me faces and to show me her teddy, she of course wanted to play, so we start making faces to each other, and talking by signs with our hands.....
The interesting thinkg is that I wasn't able to talk to her because she of course speaks french, and I don't .... It's just incredible to see small childrens talking in german (I can't understand anything of it), french, an any other languages..., but of course is their native language.. It's just incredible the capacity of learning of a child..., I'm amazed.

Lyon, France
Unique, that's the word that I would use to describe Lyon. It's arquitecture.., full of well positioned things everywhere..., nice people, 2 rivers inside the city, some history from the Romans, extrange and creative constructions. And, did you know that you can cross "almost" all the city throughout it's buildings?? THat's the most impresive thing.. The government pays to the people that lives in the buildings so they can open the passages that are in the inside of each of them, as consequence people can use them to move easily on the city.
