excited what´s ahead

During the first days I have had the opportunity to discover the city: see the old town, get the first glimpse of the diversity and awesomeness of the bohemian areas of the city. It is quite little that I have seen, but enough to be excited about the time ahead.









Although the pace of life is fast(already the trafficlight for pedestrian lasts such a short time!, you have to run to get over), has the city also calm corners and cute hidden places, where time does not matter.

Not even an hour went by since I had arrived and already I saw flags of Japan in front of different companies. I can´t still believe, that just while walking home or around in the city, there are people passing by, who are speaking in Japanese!:)









And of course all the japanese shops, restaurants and parks are breathtaking! And not only for the products, but also how they can proudly provide the best service and how nice the shopkeepers are! In one food store there was a shopkeeper assistant, who was constantly checking that all the products are on their right place and at the same time he sang a song- not only once, but two times I heard him singing happily:D

The piecies of puzzle

Almost every week I take one chinese cookie to look what is there inside. I like this kind of little rituals that add a little bit of spice or colour in daily life. The weekly rituals can be whatever kind of activity learning a poem a week, hearing radio in the language that you would like to master, thinking how your day could be or something more material like drinking morning coffee. With the last one there might be millions of people that do it on the other side of the world at the same time. From time to time I am amased how I have these "sticky" ideas in my thinking that when I take a piece of something sweet, it would really cheer me up. Although in chocolate and happiness-hormone have a connection, then it seems to be one of the fix ideas that smoking is for calmness, coffee must be drinken to start with the day etc. It should be rather obvious for whom that good is that almost no one gives another thought why do we have such bee in our bonnet.

Back to the cookies. The chinese fortune-teller had for my week that I will have a suprising find. Last week my founds were really different: the sun, a seeshell in the forest, spring flowers, a spoon, a song, bike keys, hope, but this week it was all a little bit different. I could say that it was as if to find two pieces of puzzles (different pictures and eah had millions of pieces) from which my attitude to life will be formed. As another allegoric example I would say that I found a doorjamb,a corner of one roofing tile, a cornise and a doorhandle that all are from different buildings.

On the day when I saw the first rabbit of this year, I spoke all night with my flatmates about the revolt in Libya. It was so different feeling to talk about this topic with somebody whose country is connected with the problem so closely. In Italy, especially in the southern parts, the migrants are such a problem, because of the big number, the unefficient intergration and cultural and religious background. She is such a world citizen from her attitude to Europe and her unpatriotic relationship with her country. As she with rather untolerant way sees the situation with Africans in southern Italy, it shows that the situation is already critical for the country. In addition to that what Berlusconi says and does, what happens with the migrants in a year or so, had Italy strong economical relations with Libya. The matter of having a continual gas supply, is a frightning question for all.

The way how the discussion ended, was beautiful. Giulia saying that actually we should be capable to live here on the earth all together. It is something that I have not thought about the last days being restrained, feeling the hogtie because of the gush of news.

We cannot explain here in Europe why we have obtained the most of the riches and as a freeloader living off. Why in Africa the common people do not have almost nothing and we here...? That is not on our decision but we still make the play along. And the dictatorship should have been then also in the interest of the europeans who have had the gas from there for a long time thanks to the collusion with the local powers easier and cheaper. Could there be another reason to the fact that the land full of richness, have 60% of people that are unemployed and 87% of the population being poor.

Happy birthday!

From enthusiasm, at 5.30 I woke up to be in my thoughts with Estonia today longer.
I won´t describe my preperation for the birthday, it would be too long. But as first of all I will make a post from a girl that works as a cook in Prag.

"Inimesed, midagi uskumatut on juhtunud.

Tegin aastapäevaks sülti. SÜLTI, saate aru. Ja tuli välja ja inimesed sõid ja kiitsid ja maitses nagu sült ja nägi välja nagu sült ja.. noh, oligi sült!

See on mingi... väga suur verstapost mu isikliku arengu päevikus praegu. Sült, see pole naljaasi. Huh.
Elagu Eesti!"

Elagu Eesti=)

I have been thinking here rather much about the habits and daily routines: how to be fit and healthy, how to plan my day, how to be successful. In the cases of successful people there has been always been a process from one extrem to another, to find in the end the middleway. When to look for an example go my thoughts somehow far in East and to the prince who become a yogi before reaching his goals. That meant to decide to take instead of endless richness he chose total emptiness around him. But only when the inner state of him could be described by these words, he became who we know as Buddha. In the process of learning one should go through a similar path. At first to get a hang of using the write words and phrases in th suitable places is difficult, but achievable. Still, the greatest masters do not use the words because they sound good and make the text more beautiful. Britta Tarvis, the most expert person that I know from literature critics in England, has told me that the finest way to write is concentrating on the thoughts and not the words.

Today started somehow so beautifully- from the moment I woke up the sun was shining for me. Walking along the streets to a friend of mine to eat together, in reality,through a bad foggy whether, I could somehow still hear the birds singing happily and could notice walking by from a window how a woman was singing inside. Having eaten and looking outside from the window, I fet as if I was in Italy- pinetree and the simple and funny Italian atmosphere. The food we together for lunch had cooked was amasing good and I loved how we were both hyperexited about the "Reißverschluss"- zipper, what was 1851 discovered in Usa. And I achieved a lot of goals what I could had never hoped. And I quess the big reason behind the happiness was that I went to bed with a good feeling, having thought about the nice day had had.

Practically speaking, I had moved from knowledge and skill to attitude that means the last step of learningprocess. I name the most important keythoughts in being healty and successful:) To leave hours between eating(time for digesting), not to eat sweets- cacaocream(cacao, honey, warm water and vanille or dried orange peels, dried cranberries) instead of all of that junk, regular meals(thanks to kindergarten), to repeat, rethink the learned material of the day through(or in-formal lessons)in the evening like blogging, The three-minute-rule(do everything that takes so much time instantly, not postphoning it), to choose the priority nr one of the week(helps easily achieve goals), to keep a little bit order,to do sports(when nothing more than a walk or 5 minutes of yoga)daily and when I have a little bit of enthusiasm after all of this take a minihobby a week.

On the Orange in my hand there is written: Saksa Laine-kirjasulg

I leave this title in Estonian as a good example of the state of confusion, as I have just arrived in Germany from Estonia and having settled again in German everydaylife. When I arrived in my blockhouse, was opening the door downstairs and having noticed that somebody at the same time the door was opening, I said to them at the time of thanking and saying hello, "Tere"- in my thoughts I was still in Estonia.

I woke up today having a feeling that this day is a good new beginning. Of course every day is a new little beginning, but this day especially good. So today was started with yoga and meditation and ended with blogging and hearing German language (more specific "Deutsche Welle" ehk "Saksa laine"). It gives me a sort of comfort feeling and knowledge of development and insurance, that I can concentrate and open my life to new daily routines.

When I would start talking about all the other new routines- minutly be-happy attitude, daily thankfullness(analysis), monthly money calculations, weekly German lessons and walks, fortnightly new habbits like jonglen. So more can I at the moment even think of. All the other acticities I do for myself, I guess would be for that to make sure I keep those mentioned. And what to think of this bunch of ideas? That to make sure the ideas that are shared, are kept and remembered. Having maken sure for myself, that having already a system, can everyone in this plan many many spontan ideas add. And if after this letter I really manage to write every day here, would be a creat achivement and a basis for all other ideas.

I love fascination, questions and paralels. It make life go in the right way. Or lets us think that lifes goes in the right way. I was sharing time with my cousin´s daughters and one dialog, what I loved:
- "Why do the little ones always cry and scream?"
- "The always have a reason, and it is a very big one, for them.And even when it is something of a reason like "the oranges are orange" they still have it."

The sequens of similar occasions in life are fascinating. The parallels, similarities that can be drawn from day to day. That is the only reason why I want to grow old. The fact how I could think out (like one of the persons I admire) why I have I had such friends like I have had and why have i had similar problems that repeat form time to time, why have I had certain illnesses.
Now about the oranges. One of my favourite books was "Organge girl" for a while only because of the first picture. Now just because I remembered how good it was, suddenly having seen it in the hands of one friend of mine. I liked the fact that somebody having a hard time would buy a basket of oranges. I love one frined of mine who on our travels would go to simple bars where they have put out oranges to show that they make fresh juice, would buy there one. Even more I love thouse baarkeepers who would give this girl the orange for free and say something nice. The theapic procedure of peeling an orange and the nice smile of my friend who has seen, that I have a given her a orange in the hand that has a smile.

The questions of the day: what makes me fascinated, would I like to grow old, what there was a one day cap- no tomorrow, but all the 364 days after it.

Plätzchen, lebekuchen, pfefferkuchen, Orangekeekse, Stollen, Zimtkuchen!

We have Gingerbread and Christmasbread, they have here in Germany for christmas and wintertime so many different types of cookies (and these are only for christmas specialties!).

A new baby was born...
for the Banana- Avocado. Who is the father?

Everybody who knows about artificial insemination principals, knows that with putting in the fertile soil a seed, there is a possibility of nascency of a new plant. The flowerpot, where was growning a lonely banana-plant,

When my life would be a couch, then in this year at them moment, sitting on this couch you could enjoy from a mountain peak a view under on the village. Looking from above under, there would be possible in the night distinguish only the bigger and smaller lights in this village. These are almost like lighthouses, but the distance from each other and the sea wont let them.

To start talking about the couch itself then the size of it is now unknown- time will give a good explanation to this matter The couch will be colourful, mostly yellow-orange-red-brown just like my new woolly socks. As one armrest you see would be a drum and as another armrest there would be a “German-Estonian understanding dictionary”. The seat itself would be a big big yellow pillow that looks like the sun.
