One of the best things about Greece is the food. Fresh, delicious...and the wine Every time I go there I gain 10 lbs, and the girls no longer think I'm sexy in my thing.
Oh well, small price to pay. One pleasure at the expense of another.

After editing I will uploud the video footages of hiking through the highland of Wales and about the demographic shift in East-London. After London, the ''little bit'' of anti-European propaganda in the Netherlands, has become a lesser burden in my perception - unbelievable, truly an occupation they undergo.

After I recited from the Illiad, the atmosphere was created for Shakespeare, done greatly by this man; he did 'Henry V' later on in the evening at camp fire, that one was beyond excellent - I wished I filmed that as well, but it marked my heart. I will dedicate part of my time in learning Shakespeare.

What was the circumstance of this performance? Was it a planned thing or spontaneous? Either way, pretty cool.

We were taking a group-walk through the hills of Wales and I took the Illiad with me, he asked if I would recite from the book - not my intention but it was a great idea eventually; so I recited the first lines and talked about how Sloterdijk described the first word of Europa 'Thymos': Rage, Fury, Anger, that we should re-discover the meaning of this word, this feeling and take back Europa through this. And then he was inspired to do Shakespeare once the atmosphere was created - all spontaneous.
Always nice to be amongst such people.

My first round; excuse my ''big'' talking in regards with personal ''achievement'' - the other rides which were much further and more heavy, which I will uploud another day, made everything seem small. But it was my first time and so everything looked big and hence my 'wow, I made it so far already' talk.
That I returned so late was because, before doing the last part, I ate this:
And then I had to digest it for some time before continuing.

The camera I was using isn't compatible with the OS of the current pc I'm using so I had to dig out the old one to transfer them over and upload. They're big images and I can't be bothered shrinking them, so I'll just post the links. Some of them are a bit blurry because they were taken from inside a moving car.
These are taken in the Gaeltacht on the Dingle peninsula in Co. Kerry: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

If I had Nature like that and as in many other hilly / mountaineous countries; not a single day would go-by without climbing and walking. Trapped in a concrete world. A part of your people's heritage imprinted in the old stories at least.

Around 5 years ago I went on a road trip from Bantry Bay to Kenmare. I wasn't too fond of the statues themselves but the view across the bay from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is something I still recall very clearly.
Irish countryside is literally incomparable. Massive green expanses and sheer rocky climbs. Beautiful.

I have been advised to sign up for this website: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and through that website which I think is great, I came to this one; [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Basically, you will meet people who can help you in a lot of different ways. There are sections to offer jobs, group meetings, advice, sharing experiences, offering a place to stay (in exchange of work) etc., though this is also a good site I have been directed to to find cheap places to stay (like couch surfing); [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (.nl/uk whatever your country).
So, there is also a focus upon learning languages actively by your stay and they will help you, so you can stay and work in a hostel, a farm, help building a house etc., in a lot of different countries - now I am very excited.

It has to be that I've come full swing to an active, optimistic nihilism: a way out through the way in. I can no longer pretend that the World as Lie is worth lying for.

It might be It: to drift, from farm to farm, factory to factory, militia to militia, stay in to stay in, cell to cell, country to country, wilderness to wilderness across Europe and Russia for x many years.

My youngest bro just recently got back from backpacking with his best friend across Europe, starting out centre Rome, pressing northwestward and finishing the urban trail in Paris. For the most part, they were welcomed in Italy, primarily in Vienna, and some parts of Germany. Germany in all was rude to them, and France abhorred them. They met some relating Finnish gentlemen whose goals were similar to theirs.
On a train heading North Italy, his friend was sleeping with his feet on top of the seats opposite (he's tall). Then some Italian man walking by stopped dead in his tracks, backed up and blew up on them: "What do you think you're doing!" Friend replied, "sleeping." "What do you mean?" Crazy Italian, "You don't come to my country and put your feet on the seats. Is that how you ride trains in America." Friend, "We don't have trains in America." Crazy, "Now I can't ever sit there since you put your feet on the seat." Friend, "You what?" Brother, "So you'd rather make contact with an asshole than a foot..." Crazy, "What are you saying!" Brother repeats logic and it sort of clicks with him. The latter then flips out even more and had to be escorted off of the train.

Some strange creature which had sneaked in my bedroom; the first time I encoutnered it, it was was on the wall, I approached it and then it jumped from the wall and hid somewhere - next time, I saw it again though this time prepared, let it drop jump from the wall and smashed it. Alive it looked much bigger and threatening. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
