susan elsagir's

now we are back home again. tabea visited her grand-
parents and was flying to budapest. amazing, she did
this  already twice without being afraid of. it's really
courageous for a girl of the age of 9. isn't it? but after
arriving in budapest, her grandparents as well as her
cousin marius picked her up, took her in their warm
arms of family and  went  to serbia.

this is the big chance for all children resulting from
a family of 2 or more different nationalaties. they all
have the chance to jump between different cultures,
landscapes and influences. in this point the elsagirs
are truly rich in. :-)

what evolution, technology and world wide business
serves us, is that the whole world gets closer together
as we know, all people and nationalities, cultures are
going to remix more and more. the only thing we have
to do is, to life this kind of evolution encluding living
our individuality and individual culture we're coming
from or feeling inside our hearts. that's the way ...

but i don't wanna talk about all this global ideas. the
message is: it will become 'normal' (what is really normal?)
having such family constallation regarding the future.
hopefully it is not a point of splitting your soul into
"where do i belong to". It's a chance. so take your
chance ... 

amir and me liked to see the sea. so we traveled to the
NL in this well known little - very little - town named
domburg. nice place specially when you stay next to
the beach and have tropical temperatures that even
the north sea was so hot. very nice accommodation 
(there's a link in my linklist) - allways important for me
- nice atmosphere - these sweet little houses every-
where - friendly people - even the german tourists
(mostly 'rheinländer') and the feeling of to be some-
where else, in a different place than home. but also
a nice place to stay. 

so, no problem finding friends there. amir found two
little surf-ladies at the beach. after one day he was a
surfer too. me, i had small talks to the little ladies
parents and other people around. also i tried to
juggle as i learnt 10 years ago in paris - and it
worked again :-) i'm very proud of it. i even found
a juggle partner who could do it with four
juggle balls. not me, i limited and trained it just with
three. he told me, that you'll never loose it,
if you are able to make it once. it's a little bit like 
riding a bike ... 

so please enjoy some of our impressions ...
until the next entry.

susan.
