Lifeisnotamovie


The romantic movies where people offer their help and be kind and just have a random chat with the foreigners and getting to know eathother.. Wouldnt it be so awesome if u could be that helping someone to a confused, lost and alone tourist? Or just TO BE that confused, lost and alone tourist and someone else really kindly offers u to help u out and guide you and go with u. wouldnt that be such an amazing experience?

There was a guy in the train the other day, perhaps from America, making a tour through Europe i think.. and wanting to go to Luxembourgh and Berlin by train. When he asked the train conductor for help and directions, he had to find out that there WERE no direct trains to Berlin (there used to be though..)
And if he wanted to reach Luxembourgh by tonight, he could take the train which only takes 3h to arrive at luxembourgh apparently. I assume that he's going to berlin via luxembourgh.. Anyways, it was apparently quite complicated and i just felt bad for him and felt like joining him and just accompany him on his journey. I wanted to be that helping person for that guy,, it might sound random and lame,, but i think it could've been nice? But naturally im way too chicken to offer my help to a complete stranger. No matter how badly i want it.. nonetheless, it would've been.. it couldve been so good.. for both of us i think, cuz im just bored, and wanting to do something fun and impulsive. and he wants to see europe i assume? what better way than MEETING someone from Europe?
(i know it wouldve been so insanely awesome if i met someone portuguese when i was visiting portugal.. i kinda did, indirectly - mica, but thats not the same :P cuz we didnt really get to know eachother until after i was back in NL ;))
[everyone probably thinks about "that foreign stranger" sometimes,,?]

anyway, opportunity is already lost anyways, since im not in that train anymore. So it doesnt really matter anyways. Plus, i had some other excuses like having to work that night, because my mom was in china while there was a big reservation.. so.. =/ yea

anyways. i think the feeling is also being encourages because of reading Night Train to Lisbon.. i'm reading so many recognisable things in that book.. its a good book :) bit difficult to read through maybe.. (it took me like half a year or more even, to finish the book Jane Eyre.. :P its not that i didnt like the book. i really like the ending. but there's a big part in the middle of the book that was just really really really boring to read after a while. i dunno :P it took me really long to do that, cuz i was always to lazy or falling asleep when reading it. [i read in bed before i sleep])

but yea. lots of nice interesting and recognisable things i read in Night Train to Lisbon.. i take pictures of every memorisable passage in that book, and im hoping to upload a few of those as well as a sort of introduction to the post i'll be talking about xD

ehh,, nothing else.. i'll save it for a next post. though fotolog is starting to annoy me a little bit now about the fact that im forced to uplaod a picture with every log..
so im kinda considering writing notes on facebook instead of on here. but im kinda scared, cuz i dont feel like showing everyone of my friends on there what i write.....
mmm.....
