No extraordinary reactions could have been expressed after I mentioned Islands [for the sake of respect Ill try to use Europe as rare as possible]... Man on a bus right before leaving asked me where im going with such luggage. "England". "ahhh.." - clear dissapointment. Crowds of Lithuanians invading towns and farms, so seems nothing new can be writen. But as Ive decided to share my personal history here for myself and for those whom I love, is it really matter that you are no more Kolumbus in exsotic land such as israel. A question is if living in Newcastle is minus or plus. Coz if I would be pure lithuanian i would go straight-a-way to London to beat some pounds.
Newcastle? Somewhere in the suburbs of England? One of the poorest regions? Whats that? But as I am not usual one with a standard life uni-family-job, so lets go there and in a way, that people around me would question WHY.
I havent seen much yet, but... The previous post about teambuilding could express already, that Im quite amazed with the nature around. I like that the office where I would spend some time there will be not far from the sea again. Sea doesnt allow to run away from her - finds me in any place I go. Yesterday we jumped out from metro and the first sound - the creek of seagulls... One such a sound is enough for to be inspired for entire day...
Ive got some challenges already. Besides my own project which gonna happen a little later, Im involved in world youth culture summit. and strongly involved which causes some feelings as fear, joy, engagement, enthusiasm. Much to do... Great thing can happen... Because its exactly what I was dreaming some years ago. And here we go - now do it... Higly recommended - if u have a dream, be sure that you really want to be happened, coz you have to work with consequences.
Anyways. Exploring here geordi culture not the easiest challenge. And the most stressful - their bloody dialect. Feel like and old woman trying to bring myself closer in order to understand what they are eating. For a moment - catching up the context and trying to grab twisted intonations. But I didnt expect being them so warm here after an input of others that english are cold. "here is your change, darling" - big smile on shopkeeper's face. "oh, cheers [=thanks], that so loovly". [hehe, for those who are coming - dont forget love=loove, bucket = booket, lovely=loovely]...
after breaking my records in adams big movie collection review, monday instead of pure work we enjoyed teambuilding searching for a castle!!on a two-storeyd bus my seat soon became hot, as I couldn't sit peacefully. misty sun comforted me and green green fields. had no wish to scatter words around not to break away simple and nice moment. jumped into train - north and fast. our newly made work sixtet is ready steady to work for my new home, newcastle...
train ran away leaving us to choose any direction - not even our bosses knew our right way. local daddy directed his thumb towards green hills as if they would have been straigth from Windows desktop picture. no question if to choose light way or through greenery. as if that was in any case somebody's fields, we might have had at least a single thought that some adventures awaiting. well, banging hunters somewhere in deep forest we left behind, and suddenly we apperead exactly on a way to some mustangs. he he - their no-under-control actions dont give them proper horses names. standing wordless all six, when one of us screamed "run back!". not the best idea, because we appeared exactly to symetrically situated another gang of horses. wo! yepiyeye! we found ourselves stucked in between two fences with no garantee to preserve us from angry faces. i preferred path attached to closely passing-by train as i discovered i can at least rule the situation. ben followed, as others quickly passed fiels using the moment when horses were making a royal round-about. no major adventures followed not considering wet heavy shoes after crossing damp ex-future-river. around 7 miles we were walking on the wild North Seashore. Ive noticed my life recently apperead to be situated near the seas somehow someway. my lithuanian sweets were just about to give some extra energy to colleagues - he he, so easy to become friends to sweet-eaters guys.
but where is Castle??not desperate yet, but.. when weve got to see it in horizont, mood lifted up immediately. mentioned few breakes we have fighted with decreasing energy and increasing hunger... all the way i preferred to keep silence - try eating as much as possible that solid wild beauty... Castle was beautiful! brilliant! i like this kind of English castle architecture! it brings me somewhere back to history - standing and meditating at the hard stone walls - was worth walking so long. work session after strong traditional meal, and teambuilding continued in a train station playing funny games. Good to know colleagues not only by their faces, but jokes and fears and ways to make solutions!
Current Mood: amused
