Bye Bye Cork...

Leaving Cork was not very easy. After alomost 10 days of leaving parties and goodbyes I finally left Cork last evening.

For the last two weeks I was having some estrange feelings going on, I was thinking that maybe leaving was not the best decission. Well, who knows? You already know that I am never sure on taking any decission. But yesterday I was very scared. I was very motivated by the trip but when I was cleaning the house, packing everything the tears started to drop...

The worst moment, was when I closed the door of the house, I locked it and you brought me to the airport on that sunny evening, thru the strets I was passing every day...

Once in the aiport, it was very nice when friends start comming to wave me another goodbye! (or to make sure that finally I was leaving...) Then I had that feeling, initially I came to Cork just to learn English and then after two years I've realized that English is the last thing that I've learnt here (and you can check it while I am writing this with a lot of mistakes). In Cork I've leant how to be more person, to open my eyes and listen to the people, to help somebody like people has helped me. Cork is just a nice city, but is all the people I've met here who has marked this two years, as something I will never forget. Thanks for everything!

I think that everybody should spend a couple of years abroad. I think that maybe then there would not be as many troubles as now. Abroad you learn to listen the peple that has different ideas than you that are complety right and you understand them... but well, this is a topic for another day!

Anyway, it was very difficult to say goodbye to all the faces that made me happy but you are now really friends. I know that maybe now we will not see each other so often, but I am sure that we will share a "Patxaran" very soon! I alrady miss you!

Where do we start?

So here we are! Finally it seems that the blog is created. It has been very difficult to decide all the small details and you already know that I am a completely disaster deciding things.

So first of all I had to decide about the name. 'Asiajant', this is a new word I've just created using Asia and the common way to finish the gerund in Catalan, so basically it means my new adventure: living, learning, enjoying, suffering... during the next 3 months around south-est Asia.

The second thing I had to decide in order to create the blog was the language. You already know that I usually speak Catalan, but this trip was planned and created in Cork, where I moved two years ago and I spent too many good feelings and moments with all of you. Finally you were the ones that pushed me to jump from the plane and start this dream. I will miss you a lot but here you can post your comments and we can still be in touch. This would be now my new Crane Lane ;-) So, I will try to write the blog in English, that more or less is the language that many people can read and understand. I am not sure if I will be able to transmit my feelings in English, I still don't feel confidence enough. Then, probably I will switch to Spanish or Catalan... But like all this adventure, let's see what happens!

Anyway, so here are my plans. I'll be leaving Cork (would be a very sad day) on Sunday 28th. I'll be flying to London where I will spend all the night in the airport probably remembering, with some tears in my eyes, all the great moments you gave me in Cork during these last 2 years. Then, around 7am on the 29th, a plane is waiting to bring me to Bangkok, in the heart of Thailand.

Then, who knows... the initial plan is to go to the north of Thailand, crossing to Laos, then Vietnam and Cambodia.... How? I have no clue... Do ya wanna join this adventure?
