Hallooooo from warm Moooscow!
I see I see...Alicia is planning a little summer gathering with Peterako:) very good to know, although sad because I am not so free to move after this july..Hopefully, I ll be working full time with my government job..I am sad actually not to be able to see any of you but I know that after december I will not have this job, so decided to sacrifice..who knows possibly we will have some winter gathering again!! and dont exclude Moscow please!!! I have one international hostel that is full of international people and comparatively cheap for Moscow! At the moment I am also trying to find a separate appartment ( might be a little away from Moscow centre) but if I do - you are all welcome to stay there:)
million kisses to all leidencrewers, even those that I dont have chance to talk to! I remember you all and I miss you a lot - trust me on that!

im here again,
lets try to make some updates on my whereabouts and whatabouts, since i havent talked to many of you for months already.
im still in egypt, but im going home on 28th May.i dont know yet for how long and what will i do in summer, but i expect to find out during this month. cairo it is getting hotter, but i got some good practice on my trip to Aswan in southern egypt. it was 51 degrees there which is my career high yet. in Aswan i met my friend and relaxed for 2 days by floating on the small Nile boat. i still havent cut my hair, but it seems to be just a matter of time.
Last week was also pretty unusual. Some weeks ago one guy stopped me on the street and asked if i want to be in a movie as an extern. I was not in the mood at all, but a friend who was with me insisted that i should take it and go for interview. i respect girls opinions, so i went. on the interview they told me they're about to start shooting the new big egyptian movie staring Omar Sharif (in case u dont know him, ask your mama) and that they would like to have me there. ok, i said, i wont leave Omar in trouble. so the result is, that all the last week i was kind of movie star... to be exact i was one of the 7 sailors, who were on the ship, where all the story is taking place. Movie should be issued in January, so you might be able to see me for a few seconds, maybe even in your cinema. Film is called The Passenger (Al Musafir) and it is a stupid simple kitchy romantic lovestory...only my presence makes it a bit watchable. But the good bunch of people gathered there and soon became friends, so it was a lot of fun on the end. im posting also a photo of the only slovak sailor, have fun. It was also paid very pleasantly, so i didnt mind at all.
In case i will be free in summer, i deffinitely want to go to Greece, to see how my friends live there and enjoy the food and sea. So, greek crewers, pls, let me now about your plans and maybe we can manage to combine them somehow. also, there is preliminary plan to go for music festival in slovakia 4-5july (www.hodokvas.sk there is english version also, but slovak one is more updated). it would be excellent if some of u manage to come.i have to finnish now, ill be back soon hopefully..so stay happy and dont cause troubles to your mamas. kisses, i miss u all.
Hallo popolo.
i said to my self that some of u might feel a lack of art and culture in your hard-working academic and profesional lives, so here i come to help you. our president had birthday last week, and i would like to share with you one stunning jewel of contemporary arab lyrical poetry. it was published in a state-owned newspaper, and promptly translated. This piece, unfortunately, it's not an irony. enjoy:
My dear child,
On the celebration of your birthday, I find myself at a loss as to what kind of gift I should offer you, my most beloved child.
On this happy occasion I asked myself: Should I offer you a flower, watered with the water of the Nile, and that flourished in the embrace of the palm trees… and as I presented it to you, it took the shape of 70 million of my sons and daughters?
Or should I take the traditional course and light a candle for your birthday, and all my sons and daughters would gather round as they sang with a beautiful voice and with all their heart ‘happy birthday Mr. President’?
Shall I just plant a kiss on your forehead my beloved son?
What can I do to express my happiness on the day of your birthday… well I will recount, on this happy occasion, something precious in my mind, your long and difficult path which takes you to my heart, my memory and my feeling.
You are a powerful eagle soaring the skies… teaching my enemies lessons they cannot forget, and you protect me from the shame of defeat.
You, my beloved child, tackle the difficult issues like a noble fighter, carrying my sons and daughters to security, comfort, allowing the flower of freedom to bloom and sing the melodious tunes of democracy.
You tower above all patiently, while some of my children try to tarnish the forum of freedom, abusing the democracy which you have welcomed through doors and windows.
You have been patient with some of my children who have lost their way, and wished they could see the light. You didn’t try to silence any voice or break any pen, for the sake of freedom and democracy. You treated them like a noble knight.
I know you don’t like praise… but you are a part of me and with the rest of my sons and daughters, you are my wealth.
Happy Birthday,
Egypt
PS: i will write something more about me in next few days, i promise... you must agree, it would be not appropriate from me to mix my low human stories with such divine verses. cheerz
