In response to the comment to the previous entry: Hi Denis, Benzin is a small town but you should be able to find it on the map. It's on the Island of Uznam/Usedom (since part of the island belongs to Poland it is Uznam on the Polish side and part belongs to Germany so it is Usedom on the German side). It's right next to the border with Poland on the Baltic coast. A really beautiful place.

I am nearing the end of the semester and I have a lot of studying but still don't want to miss some nice events going on. Gosia's parents are coming from Africa for a visit on Friday and I hope we can all go to Pow-wow in an orchard park in Queens. There are some movies I want to see, some meditation sessions at the Tibetan House I want to go to... I will run around a bit before the school is over and then on 9th of August I am going to Brazil to visit Claudio and Victoria and their daughter Luisa. I will also backpack a little along the Brazilian coast. I haven't been to Brazil so it will be a whole new experience. After I come back in September I will pack my bags, send stuff to Poland, wrap up the apartment and get myself ready for Europe and... be ready for the next adventure! I enrolled into school in Amsterdam and classes start on 8th November so I will have time to settle there, find a place to live, some job, some places of interest. I already made one friend there Kathrin who is a student at that school and we exchanged some e-mails. The wind of changes is sweet and refreshing. I am setting my sail to welcome it. More about it soon.
