nampenda muyaka

some of what i'm reading right now... sorry for no translation

Lew Tołstoj
Nie kochamy ludzi tak bardzo
za dobro, którym oni nas obdarzyli, ale za
dobro, którym my obdarzyliśmy ich


Hii pweke ni uvundo, kuondokewa si kwema.
Muyaka

Mwanadamu si kitu
Na ulimwengu si wetu
Walau hakuna mtu
Amabao atasalia
Mwanakupona

Swahili poetry is beautiful

on my mind

what has the culture to do with development?
how about in tanzania?
what're the benefits of artistic cooperatives in east africa?
how can they empower people?
how can we interpret a psychological interview?
do we need psychologists?
ninasemaje possesed by evil spirits katika kiswahili?
what would carl rogers say?
what would freud say?
what is 'utendi wa fumo liongo' about?
when did zanzibar conquer mombasa?

...and many many more questions on my mind right now?

praga city game

it's beautiful outside. the sun is shining. the spring is in the air

on the streets there are people wandering around, looking into dark corners of praga - the infamous, old part of warsaw. it's a city game organized by infopraga.com.pl

(by the way, check also an online game)

so, there was quite a bunch of people exploring the secrets of praga while trying to find questions and solutions to answers and puzzles, as well as interacting with people on the streets in order to fulfill some other tasks.

it was brilliant!!!! i can't wait to play the next one!!!

the choice

so i'm back home again. it's good to start a new year with travelling, especially when you encounter so many good people on your way. starting in berlin, then in copenhagen (morten/olsen :)) and all the others, the bus driver in bergen. eh, life's good and the world is a good place, if you only choose to look at it this way.

i choose to think that it is a good place and an extremely fascinating one too.

now it's just the matter of smaller choices - do i continue to study and work or do i leave it all behind and go exploring and learning someplace else... don't know yet. i guess, i'll be taking the decision every day :)
