Lemmego

as a small city in north westphalia, germany, lemgo is a quiet place. i arrived here yesterday to meet and stay at my brother will's place. luckily the sun is on our side. although it winds sometimes and temperature drops during the nights, i still feel comfortably fine here.

the journey to get here was exceptionally difficult, i must admit. i took a night bus that departed ten minutes too early, but arrive one our too early too. leaving me alone in a small german town at three in the morning with no shelter. i was feeling terrible cold and lost. i speak no german. even if i did, there was no one to spoke to anyway in that small station near bielefeld.

i struggled with cold, listening to my mp3 and learned how to get the earliest train to a bigger town. after two hours of waiting in minus eight celcius, i made it to bielefeld. at six in the morning...

but now i am restored. although i feel that my mind and my heart are still in the open fields of the farmlands i visited four days ago in antwerp. my curiousity still dwell in the classroom of the second level elementary school i visited last monday.

today i will leave lemgo. detmold is the next stop, before my long journey continue to the lowlands...

And those 2nd grader's mind is still with you... "When is that Chinese man coming back to help us?"
They weren't happy with the juf An's answer: "he left to visit his brother in germany" "A pity, I really liked him" said Keaton..
"Will he afterwards come back then??"
Just can't take 'no' for an answer ;)
