musings on being home

Well, everybody keeps asking me how it is to be back home. It is so many things: nice (to see my family), different (to the way of life down under), annoying (because there is so many things to sort out), nerve-racking (because my mum can be a control freak), frustrating (because the weather isn't behaving in a summerly way), irritating (because a lot of things have changed but overall everything is still the same) and so much more. My feelings to being home change almost every day but I guess that's just the way it is. It also doesn't help that I miss so many people from down under. Life can be hard!

Needlessly to say that I am looking for a change and thanks to my lovely friends in the Czech Republic change is on its way. This Wednesday I'll head over to Prague to see my good friend Pavlina that I haven't seen for more than a year, when I said goodbye to her in Auckland, New Zealand. There is also Lenka and Eva, two other Czech girls that I've met in New Zealand and together we'll have an awesome time kayaking on the 'Vltava' (Moldau). I've just spoken to Lenka who told me it is more a drinking adventure with a bit of paddling in between so I don't know what more to expect than fun fun and more fun.

The trip can be done in 1 day but we take the liberty to do it in 3 days because well, girls just wanna have fun. On Sunday I'll catch up with my parents in Prague to explore the Czech capital. I am looking forward to the whole trip but also exeptionally to the Depeche Mode concert on the 25th June. It's been a few years since I last saw them and in my opinion they are one of the best life bands ever!

More details after the trip...
