Working with people is often very pleasant. But when pleasure gets out of hand we are a bunch of scholars, girls and boys mixed together which will lead to an explosive mixture. Some day it will react and people will be hurt. Just mentally, not physically.
Hopefully it won't and this prophesy will turn out to be false, like most prophesies are.
One colleague of me is in love with a Turkish girl. She is the sister of another colleague.
That Turkish girl lives in Vienna and wants to go back to Turkey, to the Mediterranean coast. He likes to join her there.
He got to build up a complete new living, learn the language. And at an age of 50 that's hard. It's wishful thinking. I think he got no chance.
Who got a chance are people like my mother and her friend. They plan when they're both are pensionada's to buy a house in France. Prices are very low and one can get a house in the countryside.
A colleague of mine already did buy a house in France. An apartment with a view to Lac de Geneve. He likes to ski in winter.
Not my choice, actually. But when you can afford it and know how to ski, why not?
I heard something on the radio last night. It was about the new project of Christo in Central Park
