You guessed it - I'm back in Helsinki ! It had been about 6 months since I last set foot in this country but when I landed in Tampere airport it seemed like just yesterday. Nothing much has changed here and everything seemed familiar. It's great to see M again and I've moved in with her, living in a one room apartment by the sea in a suburb not too far from the centre. It's going to be hard to fit back in I'd imagine - the culture, the language, the climate, the fact that life is quite different here to what it is like in Brussels. Still, it's temporary - I'm going to finish the studies, I've got my old job back and life is going to get started again after this week of moving in, sorting things out and bumming around with M getting to know each other again.
The 6 lane road has disappeared to be replaced by the Baltic Sea but the itchy feet are still there. Coming here is the next step towards the big rollercoaster of life - a place where I can get money coming in, work a job which actually pays, get the Masters finished and find out where I'm going. As long as I can avoid spending it all on overpriced beer...
On that note, I'm off for a beer.

I'd like to thank Marvin Gaye for allowing me (by not stating any particular objection in writing) to shamelessly use a name of his song in my title. In the pages below, I will rant in an incoherent, sometimes enlightening, and more often unenlightening way, about a variety of topics, some of which I have a vague knowledge of, and some of which I assume I do. This is all written in preparation of the Africa project for 2009.

Who am I ?

- It's hard to tell sometimes. I grew up between two cultures, living in a third and now live in a fourth. On a personal level I am a normal person with abnormal dreams, wanting life to be one long rollercoaster ride, and willing to do anything to get there..
