Shut It Quietly - Day #1

Without love a lot of things are possible. With love even living here is possible!

The city is wide, civil construction is impressive and horizontal, and the experience of a totally new and foreign lifestyle is worth the try. When I first arrived at the airport, I wanted to cry. It is a very small airport, very crowded and very disorganized. There weren't any clear queues, it was too hot and damp, most of the mobile belts for the luggage were out of order and everybody was pushing and shoving to get their passport stamped. It was a clastrophobic nightmare. But once outside the airport, spaces seemed less confining, a lot of greenery welcomes you and the landscape is a simple network of organized streets! I felt much better!

Driving at night turned out to be a very luminous experience. I enjoyed looking outside the window throughout the 15-minute drive home. So far so good. "Home" was also a very welcoming event! Colored walls, romantic lighting, spacious rooms, cozy furniture...perfect!

I slept like a log.
