Europe 2022/2023 lovely chaos

 Inflight cancelled a week before .. got another .. so far  . didn't get the money back. ... yet

Versailles: 12/09
The Window of the room in Versailles was broken.. couldn't stay there .. 

Kaiserslautern: 12/14
First trip (Paris - Kaiserslautern) cancelled on my way to the train station. snow everywhere .. took me 7 hours instead of 2,5 hours to reach destination .. met a Russian girl (Katia) .. told me she has 4 kidneys. :) 


Haya is one of the loveliest people I know.. promised her 2-day vacation .. she didn't know more.. however she was happy to see me .. and so was I.

Lugano: 12/15
Took the train very early with Haya .. told her we are leaving for Switzerland .. all the way to Lugano .. about 6+ hours of train ride.
Hotel.. check-in.. shower .. food etc.. then she learned that we are going to see Vasia .. exited.
Later learned that we are going to concert hall Beethoven Concerto .. Bomsori Kim.. double exited.
Overwhelmed in the concert .. couldn't deal with having picture with the soloist .. However her high time was meeting and being a friend with Vasia.






Langenthal : 12/16.
First meeting Nicole at the station  .. Etienne after work.. I was impressed how Haya managed to get conversation going after being in Germany only 2 month.. we had great time .. the next day we saw the kids and left back to Kaiserslautern.


Prague: 12/18.
Went with  Olga from Ottobrun to Prague (in her car). The City is very impressive .. pretty in everything.

Met Jana first time after 2 years of message-correspondence .. Very nice, kind and lovely person. 

Had actually great time in Prague.. the few days of joy acceded all expectations .. I'll be back there very soon.  


On our way back we visited Regensburg (where I learned German).. nothing was special.. I guess I didn't like the city much .. I don't even have any memories of it.. didn't think of taking any photos. thinking of that now .. strange.. !!!


Coburg: 12/23
Family was there at Najdat .. somehow there was nothing that I liked.. An alternative plan was needed. I had to leave earlier than I planned.

Kaiserslautern / Munich: 12/28
Haya was happy to see me again . so was I .. we went to Munich. a town I'll always love.. she did love it. I couldn't see as many friends. They were out of town or sick. Managed to see Tina. 
On the way back there was an accident and we were late .. missed the last train in Mannheim and took an Uber home .. Haya was kind of annoyed. didn't know what / how to do. etc.. I learned how weak can she be facing new hardships.. she is still Syrian .. It takes some time to adjust and customize.. smart, very naïve and impulsive.. Extremely lovely.. 









Paris: 2023/01/01
Back to the small room in Versailles.. ready to work .. somehow I did feel home there.
few days later I contacted Diana .. we met at the train station and spent few hours together .. the little kid is 19 now.. nice and funny personality.. 




few days later I went to see Amine
and Vincent .. had nice evening with them .. 


Brussels: 01/13
Good times as always .. it is so relaxing to be there .. Natalie stayed at her parents the few days I was there .. didn't do much .. the usual .. chatting , eating and going around .. I like that city and my very special friends in it.

PS: somehow Haya and myself grew much closer and quickly... however I don't feel she is capable of distinguishing adoration of a friendship from (regular) adoration ? I don't know for sure. but sure is: one day, It is going to change  .. it will fade out as quickly ...well.. what shouldn't happen will not happen.. she changed.
