Thank God

...for eventually finding out that I am not "The Very Center Of The World" ; and for the privilege of finding it out quite late.

I am spoiled. And so grateful for that!

And by this I actually mean:
when I start traveling I was thinking that everything is due to me, expecting to find the comfort of my own home in everyplace, and just because I was there of course that everybody automatically should dispose. Like I said: Center Of The World.

This erroneous point of view did not prevent me of enjoying the journey but made me condescending.

Tried to keep a "funny condescending" side of the story, made fun of myself too and was, still am and will be subjective. Just that now, when reading what I was writing years ago... well... I am proud to see there is an evolution.

I like traveling, I love discovering and this made me more of a traveler than a tourist, and later on I understood.

I understood that I am not The Center of the whole thing and this transformed entirely the shade glasses that I was looking through to the world.

Difficult to say that getting down from an pedestal does not hurt, but certainly it makes you more alive, more generous, more open; more.

Lost

Here we are, in honey-Malta.

For two weeks now I enjoy the yellowish color of the place, I discover it, admire it, smell it, taste it...

We are in a nice hotel in Sliema, view to the sea and to the Manoel island.

Speaking about the view: the following photos represent the usual view and the way this view changed in less then ten minutes during my second Saturday morning in the place.

TRAVELER's FORTUNE: Epilogue

These are just images that will stay with me, nice, precious moments, rare moments, moments when you hear yourself say: wow, this really is the time of my life!








 This is the internet plug that was just above the toilet in one of the hotel's bathroom in Vietnam.





These are the precious worms canned in alcohol, who knows what for!

The same, here's a bird being conserved and bottled, along with her plums... Next to the snakes...
 


Just a girl... "Dreamy Vietnamese Girl".



This photo belongs to a friend I've made in this trip. I'll use it cause it's beautiful and think it's a nice-panoramic-epilogue.
