Huize Hotel Shiyan

Angy just handed me a new book and it's really worth reading. Malcolm Gladwell wrote BLINK, a book about situations when we know something without knowing why. And he shows how powerful these snap judgments can be. Here is a little series of quotes that I found really interesting. 9 - We have some experiences. We think them through. We develop a theory. And then finally we put two and two together. That's the way learning works. [But this book looks beyond this.] 16 - When ...

... with 'doing something about it' though is the first time they only make it worse. In the bathroom case, I happened to find Rieke's apartment in some sort of sauna and boiling hot water all over the ground, good thing the computer wasn't lying on the ground. I can't count it anymore how often that happened now, people trying to fix something and all they do is make it worse. What's wrong with you guys?

... And that's where it starts becoming unacceptable, group dynamics are way to dangerous, cause people just stop thinking. Guess how Hitler became so powerful... 7. My last pathetic little complain to complete the collection People look at me and all they think the moment they see me, is that I appear beautiful and immediately they draw the following conclusion out of this, which is that I must be the happiest girl alive and of course rich. They envy me for ...

... that, there is nobody there. It a beautiful spot of free nature right around Shiyan. So it took me exactly two minutes to take off my clothes and jump in. Boa, I love water!!! I'll wait for a sunny day to show you some amazing pictures. Continuing the bad one.. ..Guess what the second time we met for my Sunday class, six new people showed up. So I gave 'em new names, later on during the lesson I found out that the new ones ...

... it. It was when I randomly met Hans during one of those fancy business dinners. I could have talked about dream interpretations with him, he seemed to know quite some stuff about philosophers including Freud. I would love to know how to interpret dreams correctly. If only I had talked to HANS, Hans, Hans, ...(little inside joke am Rand..) Besides that I got addicted to 'Lost', I never thought that I would ever watch this show, but since I'm in lonely little Shiyan ...

... Which leads exactly to the question, what is there worth changing. I'm sure there are a lot of things, but what subject would really get me? Where would I be willing to put all my energy into? I need something that needs me. I met a guy in Cambodia, he was probably around his fifties and he was simply in love with bees. Why can't I love bees. Instead we are sitting around, watching TV, how senceless!

What a Christmasmorning ;o) My mobilephone got a textmessage at 6.30 in the morning. I thought if it's that early it's got to be urgent. And it was, it was Angie asking me for the cinnamon I lend from her the day before, so that I won't forget to take it with me later on this evening. She was making cinnamonrolls for all of us, to have a delicous christmasmorning. I love it when she bakes, it smells awesome and tastes even better. So I tried not to wake up my mum and went down ...

... around the corner. After quite some exercise we went to the footballfield. We had to climb over a wall, which really made it exciting. For a while we were just laying on the gras carpet and watching the stars. I even saw a shooting star. Told you I was way too lucky. After a while Breanna came up with this nice little game, called '10 Fingers'. One after another you say one thing you have never done and if you have done it you bend one of your ten fingers. Since I've done ...

... back at you and they actually mean it. It seems like it almost makes 'em feel special. A 'girl'(she was 32) once asked me to walk with her, just for the walk. She said she enjoys walking with me, so I did ;o) That one of these things that would never happen in Germany. - Food is unbelievably cheep, but I think I mentioned that already. - Baby's are allowed to use the street as a bathroom. - There's no cheese and cream, except you buy it in ...
