Prague..

Just yesterday I came back from a weekend stay in beautiful Prague, Czech Republic. It was the second time I've been there but still loads to discover as I have only been there for a day before. The actual reason for going there was meeting up with the co-founder of my aid organisation. Yes, my aid organisation. The biggest dream of my life, i always thought will take ages to fully come true but somebody opened my eyes and said "why not start now?" so..I did. United States Of Peace is an aid organisation that is devoting to diverse chosen projects, first ones will be published not too far from now. Have a look at our website www.unitedstatesofpeace.org ! I will keep you updated with news about USOP. Hope you enjoy some of the pictures we took in Prague...x Mary

Ireland again...

It's already been two weeks that I've been in Ireland for holidays...indeed the most meaningful holiday I have ever had. We spend the first week in Cork city, where i used to live and it was great to refresh all my memories, especially in my favourite pub - Sin E (see end of video)... 4 nights out were followed by 4 nights in as i caught a massive cold (oh how does that come.. :P ). We spend the second week in Monkstown, near Cork with Pat, a now very good friend of mine. We got to know each other on a common friends birthday party in 2008 and it was lovely of him to host us. Great Island car rentals provided us with an amazing Toyota rental car and we really discovered the county during that week, which i liked even better than being in Cork city. Luckily we had the best weather ever, we had 2 rainy days only but most of the time the sun was shining bright and it was quite warm ( 10-15 °C) ...what can i say...those were epic holidays with fun nights out, great conversations, really good music, beautiful sights, disasters and wonders. And i am more than happy to be back soon...

Merry xmas and goodbye.. ;)

With bags packed and the best xmas ever behind me (now know what it is like to have an actual family) I'd like to wish you all a very merry xmas although it's almost over (but never too late) :)

I am off to Ireland starting tomorrow. It's been 3 whole years since I've last seen the place i call home and i cannot express in words how much i miss it. Probably I am luckiest person on earth right now. I will be back on January 12th - with a massive post about Ireland (or lots of different posts about Ireland)

PS: it really annoys me to see how people are moaning about not getting an i phone or a car or write posts like " i hate christmas " ... i cannot believe words like this are written by people who have a lovely family, girlfriend or boyfriend, great friends, a good job etc etc... some people have NO IDEA about what is important and that the best things in life are free but not to be taken for granted. On christmas my friend and me have been driving into the city bringing clothes,chocolate and other things to people in need. Where will this world go if everyone stops caring? People seriously need to wake up and stop being so selfish and arrogant and over all: ignorant. I love this world but it hurts me to see how s t u p i d people can actually be...take your time and think about it next time you see a homeless.

Back from the Hols!

Back on the Albion, very relaxed from the holidays but also stressed from the first two days at work where a whole lot of work was already waiting for me to get back...

So i had my friend Briseida over who is living Mexico and will be moving back to Canada quite soon. We met 4 years ago and got in touch when she wanted to send her cousin Maria a text but accidently send it to me - an accident that lead to a great friendship. It was the first time we ever met and also her first time in Europe. I wanted to make the best out of her trip and luckily i seem to have succeeded. We spend the first two days in the capital, Berlin and had loads of fun there. First thing we actually did was helping out a homeless - twice. Also we visited all the famous sights like Brandenburg Gate and the goverment buildings..and of course we couldn't deny a visit of Madam Tussaud's. After discovering Berlin we went back to my beautiful hometown Erfurt, which she totally fell in love with. She said that i actually live in a fairytale ( I think she is right.. ;) ) .. We also gave my favourite city Weimar a visit and Thuringias most famous castle "Wartburg"...despite the touristic stuff, we partied alot and had fun with hot wine on the local christmas markets... told random people how beautiful they are...sat down with Mafia people for drinks...and...even got a tattoo. Well - at least SHE got one. A beautiful Canada maple leave. She spend many years of her life in Canada, it is where she had her most important time ever - so it means a lot to her. Enough with the talking, enjoy the pictures and the video (sorry, it was my first time I tried Magix..i promise I'll do better soon - also, i will most likely buy a video camera soon)
