Sorry for the lateness this week. Go forth and expose....
WE: What is the scariest thing you could possibly do today?
You know you've lived too long abroad....
...when you have culture shock visiting a country where they speak your mother language.
I am completely thrown off my game and occasionally finding it harder to communicate in England than Germany.
Easter Holiday pt. 1
My London welcoming committee: Organic & Dairy Free Blueberry Breakfast Cake with Creme Fraiche and a steamy cuppa coffee. Sitting at the Cake Shop at the London Review Bookstore Cake Shop. this was the perfect first stop after the busy adventure I had just getting to London. Not to mention it is not far from the hostel I am staying at and just around the corner from the British Museum (which I will be hitting up shortly). The cake was divine. Sweet and moist. And a conversation starter as I sat there discussing favorite cake combinations with the shop owner.
I left early Tuesday morning from Münster using what I think of as a cyber hitchhiking site. Finding someone who was driving to Düsseldorf I went along for the ride at a fraction of the price a train ticket would cost. It's also a much friendlier way to travel if you are going alone. My only problem was that the bus leaving for the airport didn't depart until 3:30 AM! So my day was filled with walking, sleeping along the "beach" of the Rhine River, and stopping in to various cafe's for a coffee, beer, or a meal. Later hitting up the cinema for Slumdog Millionaire auf Deutsch, which I can now do without any problems understanding.
Düsseldorf was fine, though nothing spectacular. They seem to have a good deal of culture happening which I suppose isn't so surprising as it is the governing capital of the most densely populated Bundesland (state) in Germany. I spent a lot of time walking around the Oberhausen neighborhood which was simply gorgeous although I am assuming expensive. There seemed to be a lot of money in the city. Anyhow...I somehow found a way to fill up the time until 3:30 and tiredly made my way to London. A city that I am enjoying immensely despite it's fast pace dueling with my lack of sleep. More on that later.
A Song for You: Polite Dance Song
It is past time for a musical update and I thought this sweet music was perfect. Not as upbeat as I usually listen to when spring suddenly bursts into my life...for my staple spring song go back a year right HERE and have a listen. But for the here and now just click in the side bar. I really wish I could have posted the video for this one, but they have disabled embedding. For some gold lamé, an eye patch, and hypnotic pelvic thrusts that are questionably polite wander over HERE.
The Bird and the Bee
resurfacing after the thaw
More than a month of Weekend Exposure and nothing more. Much has been happening the last bit and I will slowly unveil pieces of it. I am at the point of being absent from writing for so long that I am unsure of where to begin, what to share, and what to hold onto for another day. At the very least, spring is here. The biting cold has vanished from the air and I can walk and commute without a million layers, the sun has even graced us with a few choice appearances. That can be said both literally and metaphorically. And what once felt like a vast emptiness and sadness when remembering Utah and friends has become a sweet sadness that I can comfortably live with while simultaneously having a warm feeling that I am in a place not so foreign.
And that is where I am going to leave this. I am finding my way back to the blog, to connection and community. To living and celebrating life and I am feeling all the more comfortable doing so.
