understanding

They didn’t speak any English at all.
My Swahili is quite limited.
But still, we managed to have a million great conversations together. It’s amazing how much people who don’t speak the same language can understand from each other as long as they just want to.
Some say that language and borders are barriers. But I can’t see that.
People miss out on so much because they are afraid. Afraid of not understanding, afraid of unexpected things and afraid that something might go wrong.
As long as people have an open mind and are willing to try to understand each other, language and borders are nothing but great possibilities!

the magic of books

I have many books.
And I absolutely love them.
Fantasy books, biographies, novels, dictionaries, travel books and you name it. I can never get enough.

One of the things that I love about them, is that they make me forget the things around me. They let me dive into the imagination and the memory of others and live a life that is not mine. Books are a magic way to disappear for some time. I close myself into my room with my book, I shut myself out of the real world and I hide in another one. And that is the magic of books to me. They let me be someone else for a while, someone I am not, someone I will never be, They let me do and experience things that I will never have the chance to do. But somehow, just by reading the books, I feel that I have done it after all.

It's magic...

The fairytail city

I felt like I was walking around in a fairytail city with castles on every corner and princes and princesses hiding in the towers...It was amazing!

usa vs Al-Arjan

Okay, back to some serious business

A few days back I saw the documentary "Usa vs Al-Arjan", and I couldn't believe my own eyes, or ears for that matter. An innocent man was hold prisoner for 2 and a half years without being charged of anything!! And after a 6 months long trial where he was found NOT GUILTY on every charge, he was still not released from prison. It's crazy, I don't know what to say other than that I'm shocked. I had heard it was bad, but that it was that bad!

And me who thought the Usa was a democracy, I guess I was wrong...
