One of the strangest things you see in this chaotic and badly organised country must be the lines of people waiting. Even after all this time it still amazes me how people, one neatly behind the other, stand waiting in what often seem like endless lines. Never pushing, and surely…

The 9th of September 2009, now 2 years ago. That was the day, or rather the night, that we were crossing the atlantic, the day our holiday destination changed into home country and vice versa. How could we leave the, in every way (except for the weather, of course) perfect…
