bochumania

...after almost one and a half years I came back to the place where everything started. I am posting from the internet cafe I visited the very first time here in Germany. Then, everything was confusing, strange... hard times. Today, everything looks different. Now I can ask if I can use the internet in german, not in english, I understand why am I here and be thankful about it... now I can cry of joy after overcoming all the obstacles and not because I don't know what's going on... confused and lost.
Because of that and much more today I say "Thanks to life and all those who supported me".
Viele Grüsse Bochum!

la chingada

"Cuando decimos "vete a la Chingada", enviamos a nuestro
interlocutor a un espacio lejano, vago e indeterminado. Al país de las cosas rotas, gastadas. País gris, que no está en ninguna parte, inmenso y vacío."
-Octavio Paz
