Jesus Green
The days are getting warmer. I spend most of last week laying on the green grass by the river, listening to music, writing and watching people in the sunshine. It is strange to realise that most people are so unprepared for the sun.

Wales, Snowdonia
I've spent the week end in Wales camping and hiking.
We camped on a mountain near flocks of sheep which I could hear occasionly during the night. It was very exciting!
Saturday we tried to conquer the peak of Snowdon, but unfortunately we had to abandon our quest as our friend felt suddenly very ill. We spend an hour by a lake near the peak and fed seagulls with bread.

Sunday we went to a city by the sea, which name I cannot recall as I found it difficult to try to pronounce Welsh names. The city was inside walls. Near the sea was a castle.

Friday, the 2nd of May
Tried to go to a japanese meeting, yesterday.
But as I knew no-one it was hard to recognise anyone.
I ended up cycling back in the dark. Dark cities have something peculiar but yet not frightening. In dark cities you can see the stars in the sky.
Certain streets have no lights but for the lights which shine through the windows.

Wednesday the 30st of April, Cambridge
Yesterday the rain fell again all day long.
I walked in Milton Road under a very big umbrella.
The streets were covered with pink and white petals.
It looked like after a spring carnival or a wedding.
Some cars were covered and petals swam in puddles.

I had a night picknick with John by the river bank of King's College.
We sat on a bench and ate bread and cheese and tomato salade.
Geese were chattering loudly around us. They had invaded the grass and seemed to lead a war against ducks. It was all very exciting to watch. I was imagining attack plans as many ducks were one by one gathering near the bridge. It looked like a secret war that the humans were not supposed to know of.

Cambridge, GB
I've been living in this gorgeous little city in England for about a year now.
I cannot believe sometimes how beautiful it is and it makes me sad that none of my friends or family from my home country have come to visit me.
They all say "we'd like to come, but we are so busy at the moment"
In my country, travelling seems to be very difficult and maybe because we live in such a beautiful place, that we don't want to go abroad....
Monday the 28th of April,
The rain has been falling all day, sometimes heavily, sometimes soflty and quietly.
The flowers in John’s garden are growing fast, eating greedily the rain like a baby drinks its bottle. There are tulips red and yellow and the grass is fat and dark green.
There is a parfum in the air which burns my eyes and makes my breathing heavy.
But I do not know which flower it is which has a parfum which is to me like poison ivy.
The building works behind the colleges are almost finished and the tree leaves have grown very generously over the week end.
In the evenings, when I leave the house to run to John’s I see snails in front of my door.
They are faithfully there every night. I wish I knew where they live because I cannot see them during the day.

Or it doesn't fit with their holiday plans...
I intend to move around and observe and meet people and discover the world.
That is why I have decided to show and talk about the places where I live and travel to. I'd like to describe the things I've seen and the food I ate and the smell I've smelled!
I live near the river Cam in a small house with my landlady.
It's a cute little house with wooden floor which is quite unusual for England as most houses have carpets everywhere even in the bathroom (even class rooms in schools).
