-silent conversations-

many times, sitting in the train, i am amazed with the amount of thoughts that rush through my head...for many, especially in Europe, traveling by train is a norm, but for me, an Asian, from a country where cars dominate all the major forms of transportation, it is really an exhilarating feeling to be taking the train (even though i have been doing that for almost 2 years now). The feeling of being transformed back into time, like in movies, in sepia tones....and the scenario is enhanced so much in winter, with the Italian women in fashionable fur and leather, men in expensive looking suits and hats....so surreal....sometimes i guess i zone out too easily...get carried away too easily....

most of the time....i bring with me something to read, something to study...as i saw that every old and young person on the train is so absorbed, with crossword puzzles, sodoku...books...homework...such an interesting culture....not to waste the traveling time having silent conversations with oneself, like i do all the time.....

however....this short easter holidays...many thoughts again rush in and out while i was looking out at the beautiful spring landscape...and not stupid thoughts...but thoughts i will write down so that it will mean something...consciously or subconsciously...that's the promise i made to myself...hope i'll be able to keep it....
