What is it all about? If not about money and not about reproducing the human species, then what? Living here, in this civilised world feels as if one would play a gameboard monopoly, but the others would forget that it's not for real. Have you tried to play monopoly with serious people? It sucks. Spielverderber.  If you make a list of things of what you have to do in your life, there is a slight possibility, that going around the world on bicycle occurs on your's. Anyway, it occured on mine. Things change. While we are busy with our laundry.  Why not stay? Too many precious things about going. While you're on your bike, you need only what you can carry with you. Waking up every morning somewhere or nowhere realising, that you've got another day to live (violins playing in the background). Not to know what would happen. The UNEXPECTED. Meeting people's or camel's eyes. Having steam of boing tea on your glases. Receiving a bowl with rice and beans, giving thanks to your smiling hosts, smoking a cigar while watching children play with your tent, packing, leaving, leaving a part of yourself, taking a part of them with you. I guess, it is simplicity (again violins, only louder).    s t a r t  -  2 0 0 6  s p r i n g
