Just today I arrived in Sagadi, Estonia, participating in a three-week Erasmus Intensive Course. And fuck yeah, its in the middle of nowhere again. Its hard to concentrate: I am pretty drunk already and the hall is full of people playing cards, Jenga, talking and listening to music. Still; its the first time since ages that I have the inspiration to write again. And for sure its no coincidence, that this moment comes, when so much reminds me of Iceland.
The spanish guys, sitting on an own table talking to each other. Reminds me definitly of back then. The polish guys, with their accent, which I now know not only Piotr has incorporated. Eddie Vedder, like one participant of the cource, sitting next to me, whispirng into my ear some words of freedom.
Beside so many thinks might remind me of the time in Nupúr one special thing has probably changed. While my stay in Iceland showed me, that the whole world is there for me to discover, that neither Austria nor Iceland is something to refer my life to – one year after I returned from my probably life changing journey, I discovered something thats really worthy to refer my life to. Not a place anymore, but someone I truly love. So my place is at her side. Thats whats for sure.
Still I think I will really enjoy this upcoming weeks here. And I am looking forward to a vacation I will do in Iceland this summer: doing the Laugavegur and probably take a trip to Hornstrandir and enjoy some nice New York Cheescakes in Babalu and some nice hot cups of coffee in C. Its nice to know where to belong. I missed this feeling way too long after returning from Iceland. After I left BSI with a tear in my eye, rushing toward a place which was not the same for me than when I left.
Yeah. Probably I forgot the most noteable fact of all. Drinking Saku. Saku. You remember? The probably cheapest, enjoyable beer back then in Icelands Vinbudins. As I can remember it was 249 kronurs. It´s Estonian. And I am drinking one can right now. Skál!
