Sophie's World: July 2010
http://sophievda.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
During my time in Burundi I got to travel a lot around the country, hence see a lot. This is just a selection of the million photos I took from locals. And to be honest I kind of knew a lot of them, you just dont point your camera at someone do you? Well yes, sometimes you just do. Links to this post. Here, some of the shots I took from this people that after 6 months became friends, co-workers, etc. Unfortunately I did not have my camera at all times and I am missing very important people here! Well, no...

live your dreams: May 2009

Friday, 15 May 2009. Bertinchen chronicles – season 2, episode umpteen. Him: il y a probleme avec le volant-moteur; il faut le remplacer. Me : c’est quoi le volant-moteur? Him : vous ne connaissez-pas le volant-moteur? With an incredulous undertone). Never mind, tomorrow at 3 pm your car will be ready I was told. sweet – all in time for the holidays! I never claimed to be a socialist – but does that mean that I don’t care what happens to people with lesser capacities? I guess the one thing that I have le...

Random thoughts from random places: May 2008
http://davidjcole.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Random thoughts from random places. Tuesday, May 13, 2008. And we are all its victims. It caught us slowly. So silently that we never even realized. But caught we are. But ultimately this trap is different. We all ask ourselves. Again and again. Do we really want to escape. Thursday, May 08, 2008. It's in the air it seems. Tel Aviv. Versonnex (population 1938). Johannesburg. Brussels. People I know are all on the move. So the question is whether it is a members only club. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

live your dreams: March 2010
http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 22 March 2010. Something. well, there is little to do. And yet I can't say I have been bored in the last 2 years. maybe because adventure always finds me. take any story you want - as boring as can be - add a car meltdown and you get the idea of what my life is like :-). The party was great fun - dancing on the beach, whilst the waves roll onto the shore in the background. in the dark it felt like we were actually by the sea. and I miss the sea. He put it on speaker and told the caller that he wa...

live your dreams: you can't.make.this.shit.up.
http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-cantmakethisshitup.html
Monday, 19 April 2010. You can't.make.this.shit.up. There are people who pay a lot of money to go through adventures like the ones we seem to attract. and you are most probably not going to believe this story; but seriously: you can't make this shit up. There are a lot of tse tse flies in the park and we have been stung badly by them before, so I got out the mosquito net fabric which we promptly taped to the windows so we wouldn't need to drive up the hill in a sauna box. and we were off. And just tape t...

live your dreams: November 2009
http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 24 November 2009. Never a dull moment. My housemate said to me last night that I had too much action in my life. what do you mean? I asked. 'well, you never do anything without bringing a story back; and not just a beautiful-butterfly-on-a-seldom-yellow-flower story, but stuff always happens to you'. Turns out the brand new timing belt was worn to shreds, again. urgh, again. The next morning the venue for the retreat was a technical school which includes a garage - jackpot. I drove the car s...

Monday, 19 October 2009. Ever had a racing car for breakfast? We won't know the difference. Well, we were. I found the receipt two minutes later and believe it or not we'd purchased a jar of cheap honey at the price of a racing car. well - so much for wanting to save money. Not only the humans were having a blissful time! Posted by the bonster. Wednesday, 14 October 2009. 45 lessons of life. 1 Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2 When in doubt, just take the next small step. 11 Make peace with your pa...

live your dreams: September 2010
http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 13 September 2010. Your real duty is to preserve your dream…. I bought a post card with this quote on it a long time ago. And it has been on display in all my rooms I have had since. I have, in fact, spent quite some time mulling that statement over: does it mean, you should always have a dream, any dream? Or does it mean you should always have at least one dream that just is your dream, but which you never actually realise? When do you decide it’s the right time? Ever since I got my car I have b...

live your dreams: chadventures
http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010/05/chadventures.html
Saturday, 22 May 2010. This is possibly the first post in literally years that will not focus on a car melt-down - but everything else is pretty much melting down, or simply melting. After two and a half years in rwanda I have to admit I am getting ready to leave that country; have even been considering moving back to europe because I feel I have reached saturation point - for now. The closer we got to n'djamena the more yellow the landscape became; I started imagining the heat down there, the dryness, t...
