Recovery


Water Calligraphy.
For training your brain


On Saturday I felt a bit better, so I allowed myself to join Liya's dinner at her place. She invited some ppl from school and she told me that I'm more than welcomed to come if I feel any better. I thought that a dinner at someones home is a really good idea for starting to do something after being sick. Dinner obviously was great, and the evening past so fast that I was really surprised it was already 1am. The next day I slept so good until almost noon. There's no words to describe how much a good night sleep is being taken for granted... After 3 or 4 nights that I woke up almost every hour, and when I finally woke up in the morning it was to end the nightmare of "sleeping" - this long good night sleep made me feel so much better.
I had to get my certificate from uni - the one for finishing my semester (ppl who stay for another semester don't pick it up now) so I decided I wanna show Rob where I studied and the area. It was a cold and beautiful day (like today) the sun is shining and the air is kinda clear and bright (well no blue blue skies but it's good enough for me). We picked up my certificate (they put it in a really nice red hardcover) and went to the park across the street from uni.
It was Sunday afternoon and there were a lot of ppl there- it was so nice to see them doing exercise on special outdoor gym equipment, and singing together, playing cards or badminton, painting, or writing calligraphy on the ground (they do it with water- just to practice, then it dries out and they can do it again). It was especially refreshing to see them do these things coz usually we see so many of them just wondering around the supermarket or the malls on weekends and we find it really terrible that they have nothing else to do but walk like zombies.


Exercising in the park
These facilities are everywhere,
and are being used by older ppl especially.


In the evening we went to a nice Italian restaurant in the center of town and then we went to a foot massage close to where Rob stayed the first weeks before we had the apartment. It was nice talking to the 2 ppl who gave us the massages, coz they were a lot more intelligent then the young girls and boys who work in the massage place next to where we live. They actually knew some things about other countries, let alone their own.
