I´ve been writing just what I´m doing... but I was watching a movie "Before Sunset", which was recommended by many friends, because it´s just about a conversation recorded at once, and identified myself when she talked about her staying in Varsovia. I think it describes a bit what I felt in Norway and what I miss most, even knowing such feeling can´t last forever anywhere I live.
"In a couple of weeks something changed in me...This city was quite gloomy and gray...but after a while, my brain seemed clearer. I was writing more in my journal...ideas I´d never thought of before. It took me a while to figure out why I felt so different.
...I realized that I had spent the last two weeks away from most of my habits.
TV was in a language I didn´t understand. There was nothing to buy, no advertisement anywhere...so all I´d been doing was walk around, think and write.
My brain felt like it was at rest...free from the consuming frenzy. It was almost like a natural high. I felt so peaceful inside. No strange urge to be somewhere else, to shop...maybe it could have seemed like boredom at first...but it quickly became very soulful...It was interesting...you know"

Hei Tais! I'm USA now! I'm doing volunteer work in an organization in Chicago, doing dishes from 7 in the mornig to 2 in the afternoon. It's not what I had in mind when I went here, but someone has to do that as well. Will be here upto middle of May. Then I will meet Finni and have some fun days with him:) And the last month I'm here I will visit some relatives in LA and Minnesota.
How are you doing? Working now?
