1, Something very GOOD.

2, Wana bet?

So do you like Canada more than Denmark? We have a travelogue tape with Denmark on it which we use as an HDTV demo .. looks like it's beautiful there, and the people seem very friendly. Taxes might be a bit high though..

I like Berlin.. If you don't like posers, NEVER go to Bielefeld

Bah! Get a Botox treatment and move to California. It pretty darn close to paradise and we aren't burdened by "real people".

Once you're settled, you can marry Carmen Electra, do lunch with Jay Leno, and run for governor.

Many people get fed up with there own brand of humans sooner or later. All the layers of society, traditions, suppression, what-have-you.

On the other hand, most people don't want anything else 'cause it's too threatening. They feel secure and can identify with something they know.

Sooner or later you are going to get fed up anywhere in the world if you are expecting other people to give you a life. Killing yourself won't help either 'cause you are just going to get born again with the same problem.

You need your life and continued self renewal.

Yeah, that looks hopeless when you see and do the same old crap everyday. So what do you do?

Get on your bike and get the F outa there for at least a month. Leave Italy in Italy. Blow out all that stale air and get some fresh air. Shake all that crap out of your head 'til you can see things differently, 'til you can see things around you with interest.

Give yourself time and space. There's no rush.

Only then think about what you might want.

if you want real people, come to Montreal. maybe they aren't the friendliest people in the world, but at least they'll tell it like it is.

Plus, you'll never be bored and you'll have a great mix of warm summers and snowy winters.

Don't forget Montreal women. wow.

LOL
Well Carmen is only 3 years older then me, so that's ok.

I'll take a close look on San Francisco in mid october (if everything works out as expected).
Do you know any hotel that's not to expensive and worth to check in (and not to far away from the interresting places)?

At the end of the week (18/19.11) I'll move to "Doubletree Hotel San Francisco Airport" (http://www.doubletree.com/en/dt/hote...tyhocn=SFOAODT), because there is a conference taking place.
The hotel looks nice, but I think it's to far away from the places I want to visit.

I would be nice to get around a rental car, but I think the public transport should do it, even from the Doubletree Hotel.

Hey, Liz.. what was the name of that hotel you stayed at in the bay area?

San Francisco Airport, technically, is not in San Francisco. It's further down the pennisula in a spot that happens to be even foggier than San Francisco. Possibly, the hotel has a shuttle to BART's new SFO extension. That would get you downtown very quickly. Once you're downtown, you can get just about anywhere using public transportation:

San Francisco is probably the most expensive city in the United States. There aren't a lot of reasonably priced hotels in reasonable neighborhoods. I'll ask around.

You could try hotels.com or Priceline.com for a better price.

New Zealand, although hard to move to (due to fairly strict immigration rules), is pretty close to paradise.
