It isn’t real, is it?
(versión español más abajo) I am having an interview with a colonel from the army. He is very helpful by providing me all information I need, and we end up with a lively discussion about how to overcome the deep crisis his country is going through. During the interview I get distracted. Not by the…

Courageous people
She sits next to me at the table, a young woman around 30, let’s call her Ana. She tells me about her job, that she likes it a lot, but also that it is a bit complicated. What she does is quite unique in the country, and you cannot follow a course here to learn…

On the road again

Three bars of chocolate (01/06)
This morning I found a reminder to pay an invoice between my other mail. I remembered the original invoice was from January, now we are end of May, so three months later. They had been kind and patient with waiting until now. I was not forgotten to pay the first invoice. The fact is that…
