Ta-daaaam! London craziness summarized!

I haven't been blogging for quite a while, so I even started feeling bad for betraying the interest of my 11 faithful followers. The last post was a really poor attempt to try to NOT be FORGOTTEN!

The Middle East is "on fire", Fukushima puts the whole world "under pressure". It all sounds like the scenery of the latest Holywood blockbuster where an American, a black guy and a Jew will save the world, and of course some hot female scientist like Angelina Jolie will help them!
The whole world seems to be going through a really disastrous phase, where as I haven't really had the time to follow all this news in details, since I have been so busy organizing my own personal life! I feel bad about it. And right now all nonsense to be posted here seems insignificant. But well, this is life. As long as I don't have radiation in front of my door and as long as there are no bombs falling over my roof, I will be worried about what my hair looks like and what should I wear today. BAD BAD BAD. But this is human nature. If somebody has any idea how to change it: PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME on that matter! I'm ready to do anything within my power that could help anybody anywhere in this world.

I have gathered a lot of blogging material, pictures, thoughts, comments, anger, emotions, impressions, also some positive ones over the last few months... But I haven't had the time to organize them into somethings structured (as if my blog could fake any structure...)

Anyway, I have a good reason for that: I have been in London. All the time.

Since January till mid March this city has been truly

OVERWHELMING

In contrast to:

Somewhere in EAST, around Dalston

To escape the London craziness: A PARISIAN GET-AWAY:

macarons with the size of a hand and burlesque-like dancer @ Raspoutine

So basically living in London for about 4 months has been very intense, lots of fun, pretty loud, dynamic and exhausting, very crazy and...

WELL, it's time to explore new, more relaxed and holiday-like working horizons!!!

PORTUGAL HERE I COME!
