Holiday (Milano-Venice)

When I look up the sky

When I close my eyes

When I take a deep breath

I feel calm

It somehow reminds me the feeling that you are next to me

I am no longer student now!
Five years of long studying life has ended, now my new life is about to start (actually already started)


To celebrate, I gave myself a nice trip to Milan and Venice
As always, it has been very adventurous and funny.

To start with here is the list of what I had in Italy

• panini
• pizza
• cheese
• lasagna (the best)
• japanese
• Mc fry
• carbonara
• loads of pasta
• loads of gellato
• A lot
• Romantic mood
• crepe
• Kebab
• hotdog
• cheese cake

Anyway, I gained 3kg in 5 days.

One day on the weekend in NYC

Waking up after hitting head on the wall 6AM

As I couldn't get back to bed anymore, made a full breakfast and decided to go to Museum of Natural History. 8AM

Realized that battery for camera is dead. 9AM

Leaving home with full battery 10AM

Getting on the wrong train -twice
Waiting for the train at the wrong station -twice
Loss -2 hours

Finally arrived at the museum 12:30PM

Very crowded with families and couples. Me myself...
Joining the queue to get ticket + joined in the Spanish tourists group... where am I???...


Then Well Finally Im in it!!



Woa thats a huge whale! yummy..
Firstly, I decided to go to the planetarium.




The Narrator was Mr. Robert Redford
Coool.
but.... to be honest, Planetarium in Tokyo has more and clearer stars....




After that, with avoiding stuffed dead animals (im scared of them), Finally I was in dinosaur section!!!






YEAAAA
This is sooo coool!!
Specially Triceratops!!



If I were to be displayed after I die, I want to be shown like this....


Then, I went to mythical creatures section.



saw dragons, unicorns, mermaid, giants, Big Foot, Tengu etc...
People were touching those... manner....

Then I had a short break/sleep in a video room about the revolution for an hour.

After that, I went out after spending about 2 hours in Astrology and Science Sections.




As I had bad luck with train in the morning, I decided to walk through the central park to the station where I can get on the train that goes straight to my place.

.....


......


it was very cold... (it was actually under 0 C....)

I was wearing only jeans, thin long t-short and leather jacket...






Anyway, the park in winter has great atmosphere. I like it.



As might have been expected, I was dying from coldness.
So I decided to run with them.




On the way, I saw a couple taking wedding picture in this bloody cold park!
I thought "How awful brave they are"

Oh well, by the time I got to the station, I had no energy.

I really enjoyed my day off.

Letter

Dear whom I don't know the name

Thank you very much for telling me your life story and your advice.
When I saw tears in your eyes, dont know why, I was crying a bit as well.
I probably didn't understand all of things you said, but I could feel it.
When you said you are tired of thinking and now stopped thinking trying to be stronger, I couldnt say anything although I tried to. It was something Ive never thought of, but it's been here and will be...

And please forgive me asking you such a question. I hope you were not insulted.
But you kindly answered the question. I could see tears in your eyes again.
You said "sometimes yes, sometimes no, but Im probably trying to protect myself more than that" You showed a lot of expressions on your face. I could tell that you have experienced more than I can imagine.

I am very glad that I chose to walk to Midtown after work and sitting the bench in Union Square randomly. It was very nice to see you.

We probably won't recognize each other when we walk pass by next time.
But I really wish your happiness.
And I don't know how my life will be but I will do my best in my life as you do in your life.

Best,

Seiji Nakano

Journal about Barcelona

I have been in Barcelona since New year by myself. Now Im back in Liverpool.
I love travelling round alone. I can daydream whole time and I see everything as much as I want.

1st January 2006

Woke up at 11am, feeling dizzy. I guess I had flu. It was great start.
Left home at 3 to John Lennon Liverpool airport.
checked-in.
left to Barcelona at 9pm. I was feeling really dizzy and had headache, but somehow I knew I would be okay when I got there.

so I arrived at barcelona airport, and took bus to Estacio Sants. (I was not so sure that I was on the right bus or not.)

got to a youth hostel at 11pm. and slept feeling really tired.

2rd January 2006

Woke up at 10:30am. I was feeling better so I followed my plan I had been making when I was in London.



First , went to Temple de la Sagrada Familia. I have been dreaming to see this for ages. Went up to the top. It was beautiful weather too. then I had to go down the spiral stairs. It was like this



I was soo scared. Im so scared of being high place. I was shaking whole time unable to see things. By the time I got on the ground, I felt alive.

then looked round the temple.





then I went to the main street called Las Ramblas. There were loads of street performers.



at the end of the street, I saw Monument a Colom (the tower of Columbus).



then saw beautiful sea. I stayed there for few hours



then walked back in to the street. went to the barcelona cathedral which was big, but not as big as liverpool cathedral. Then wandered around the main street.
I poped in to a random shop for dinner.
well, I tried to speak in Spanish when I order. I suck at spanish, Im gonna learn it for my third language.
I had snails (Escargo?). It was oily and tasty. When I thought that I used keep a snail as a pet in Japan when i was a kid, I felt a bit sick but it was nice. I liked it.




After dinner, I went to the hostel and slept at 11pm.

3rd January 2006

I was really looking forward this day because it was the day I was going to Dali Museum in Figueres, 2hours far from Estacio Sants by the train. Dali has been the most favourite artist for me since I was in primary school. I copied one of his work as a homework.

Well, I woke up at 7am, feeling much much better. and got on the train at 9:21am. I was studying Spanish til I got Figueres.

First I went to the museum of toys, it was really interesting too.
Then now, it was time to see what I have been dreaming about.




I was gobsmacked for few seconds. "Im finally here" I thought
then went in. It was more then I was expecting.

then I got on the train back to Estacio Sants at 7pm. got back at Hostel at 9pm.
I wasnt too tired, so I decided to pop in a local pub. I found a small local pub around the hostel. had a espanol beer. then I tried to speak to pepole works there in Spanish. hmm, I really wish I could speak in Spanish well. I defenately will study that. oh yeah it was true that "Spanish girls are hot."

anyway, third day in barcelona was finished.

4th January 2006

woke up at 9am.
went to Parc Guell. It was also Gaudi's Work. stayed there for a bit and enjoyed sun and atmospher.





then went to National Art Museum of Catalunya. It was enomous.




then went to Milo Museum.



It was time to go and see flamenco.



was great, actually. I would like to learn spanish guitar.

5th January 2006

woke up at 11am. still feeling a bit unwell.

went to see Casa Mila, one of other Gaudi's works






then Casa Batllo, the other Gaudi's works.







It was just amaging. Im sure that I will be quite a connoisseur.

then I went to 4 Gats(Cats), the famous cafe which piccaso and many artists used to go to. they put me at the edge of the room which was quite nice.



had wine, and paella. I didnt know how to eat a prawn so I had to leave it...



after lunch, I went to Piccaso Museum. I was also great. (everything was great in barcelona so I cannot describe it)

then I again went to see the tower of Columbus. I thought this was the place you would swear things for the adventures. so I wished "please no more going to a wrong airport or missing a plane."

at 9:50pm, I left bacelona. the plane was delayed as usual.

I guess it was the best trip by myself I ever had.

Now, I have to do loads of washing...
