The trip has been soooo much fun so far. I have met people from various places and of course interacted with quite a few cleaning ladies and gentlemen. A friend of mine and me have decided to do a small exhibition in St. Petersburg, on the theme of insects or little critters. I think they represent my trip really well. Insects are unwanted, often misunderstood, despite they are key to our survival as a human species. It`s not popular to deal with insects, as it is not popular to deal with suicide. Insects are also the enemies of cleaning ladies - in most cases. I prefer taking pictures of them instead of killing them. So I am now also busy taking portraits of insects or related topics in urban areas. This trip has been perfect so far and I have written quite a few short stories in hand writing. I will try to transfer some of them to the PC now. Of the people I met, I liked the guy from Poland, he is doing work on ecovillages around Europe. Interestingly, people don`t move there for environmental reasons, but because their friends live there or because they are short of money. That says a thing or two about motivation. He concluded with a smile, if there is only a dry toilet to shit into, that is what you are going to use. whwahahaha. He had some kind of dry humor. A lady from South Africa made a similar argument, but totally earnestly. She told us how the very affluent, who could not be bothered by environmental challenges so far, have started to install dry toilets during these times of severe draught in Cape Town which seems to make things possible, nobody dared to even utter aloud before. She is amazed by what can be done when people are under pressure. Same here, time is running. It`s time to post some short stories now. Enjoy reading.
