I wish everyone a happy new year! Maybe not everyone but all these people who know me. So what happened the last 2 weeks?
I have been to France. With 2 friends I went over the Chistmas holidays to the northwest part of France more exactly said to the Brittany. We left Berlin and had about -2 degrees. When we arrived there were about 10 degrees. Juhu! Altough the travel was long and ardous we had our fun. The car (a VW Polo = a small German car) was not really unconfortable but in fact we filled it up to the roof with our luggage for 3 weeks. Most of the time we felt like sitting in a can. After 18 hours we arrived in Treouergat. (Don´t know how to pronounce it). I was very happy to stretch myself again.
Treouegat is a Place where is no receiption with the mobile phone and where the word „Internet“ is not known I bet!
For the last 3 years I can`t remember a time having 2 weeks no Internet.
Our house was really nice. 2 floors, 2 bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and a fire-place! And the best thing, we were expected by a high class 5 stars menue with several special meals from the Bretagne. „The cook“ made these holidays to a palate joy.
If you are used to become awake before the computer reading the first emails an checking the daily blogs (like I am) it is very strange looking halfawake on your screen realizing that there will be no connections and no incoming news. The next days I nearly forgot all the IT things which I actually wanted to do in my freetime. And so I did the only reasonable. I enjoyed my time with my friends.
I never thought that much about my time. Reading news, blogs and articles everyone of us finds more or less interesting steals so much of my time. So I decided to limit myself in 2008. I decided to waste daily not more than 2 hours for the Internet.
Resolutions for the new year! Yeah!
The rest of my time in France I visited some cultural places and had many walks at the rocky coast. I felt the hard salty wind of the atlantic ocean on my skin and enjoyed the ‘wild’ nature.
Back in Berlin I unpacked my bags and my computer immediately began to talk to me:“I need energy! Give me something to do, please.“ I tryed to do my best and to stay hard to myself. OK, not more then 2 hours a day. But this day I still had still my 2 hours!
2 hours later I was very happy about all these news, blogs and videos „my internet“ offers to me. 2 hours got 4. 4 got 8. 8 got 24.
Internet I am back. Happy new year Internet!
