Where is the time?
It's amazing how travel will change your perception of time. I left Europe only 3 weeks, but it already feels like three years ago. And this summer in America feels long to still life. I remember talking to one of my friends last month and noticed that, even though we were only in Spain a month ago, I felt like I had not seen him.
I often wonder why greatly changed travel my perception of time. Weeks feel like months and months feels like years. I think that if you are racing to every day, so much to do that it just accumulates and your mind pushes events further and further down. It feels like things were so long ago, because you do so much since the last save. That's about the only explanation that I can think of. 09 is almost gone, and yet in spite of Europe such as age feel my life in Taiwan earlier in the year before, feels like it was yesterday.
Maybe it's just the short-term memories that appear after such long and, once the spirit sorted everything out, it all feels normal again.
What has to do with travel? Absolutely nothing. I just think about how much has happened in 09, how fast it has gone by, and still have as paradoxically in recent months like an eternity to feel. I'm thinking about, because tomorrow afternoon I to New Zealand flying to Bangkok to spend three weeks at home.
This week went far too quickly. I had high hopes for my time here. I wanted to do a lot of work, visit and catch up with friends. Now I find that my time running to me before I had enough of it to do all these things. It is not stopped due to lack of trying- I do not think I have to move, as I got off the plane. But despite my best intentions, the time flew away from me and I feel as if I have not reached me anything- my wheels just spun.
Although I wish I had more time here in Bangkok, I'm really looking forward to going to New Zealand. The photos in my guide book look amazing and the only bad thing I have ever heard about the country is that it has too many sheep. And if the worst is, I think New Zealand will not be so bad. A chapter is closed and another begins but time passes too quickly. It may feel like ages, but I just wish it took ages.
