Something ;)
ON IRA ZAZ
On ira écouter Harlem au coin de Manhattan
On ira rougir le thé les souks à Amman
On ira nager dans le lit du fleuve Sénegal
Et on verra blûler Bombay sous un feu de Benegale
On ira gratter le ciel en dessous de Kyoto
On ira sentir Rio battre au de Janeiro
On lèvera nos sur yeux sur le plafond de la chapelle Sixtine
Et lèvera nos verres dans le café Pouchkine
-Refrain-
Oh qu’elle est belle notre chance
Aux milles couleurs de l’être humain
Mélangées de nos différences
A la croisée des destins
Vous êtes les étoilles nous sommes l’univers
Vous êtes un grain de sable nous êtes le désert
Vous êtes mille pages et moi je suis la plume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Vous êtes l’horizon et nous êtes la mer
Vous êtes les saisons et nous sommes la terre
Vous êtes le rivage et moi je sui l’écume
On dira que poèts n’ont pas de drapeux
On fera des jours de fête autant qu’on a de héros
On saura que les enfants
sont gardiens de l’âme
Et qu’il y a des raines autant
qu’il y a des femmes
On dira que les rencontres
font les plus beaux voyages
On verra qu’on ne mérite
que ce qui se partage
On entendra chanter des musiques d’ailleurs
Et l’on saura donner ce que l’on meilleur
--------
Refrain
--------
Vous êtes les étoilles nous sommes l’univers
Vous êtes un grain de sable nous êtes le désert
Vous êtes mille pages et moi je suis la plume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Vous êtes l’horizon et nous êtes la mer
Vous êtes les saisons et nous sommes la terre
Vous êtes le rivage et moi je sui l’écume
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We will hear Harlem to Manhattan
We’ll redden tea in the markets of Amman
We will swim in the river Senegal
We will burn Bombay in the fire of Benegal
We will scrape the skies above Kyoto
We will feel the beat of Rio to Janiero
We will raise up our eyes to the ceiling of the chapel Sixtine
And lift our sunglasses in Café Pushkin
-Refrain-
Oh this is our beautiful chance
To million colors of being human
The mix of our differences
At the crossroads of destiny
You are the stars, we the universe
You are a grain of sand, we are the desert
You are million white pages and I am the feather
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You are the horizon and we are the sea
You are the seasons and we are the Earth
You are the shore and I am the sea foam
They say that poets have no flags
We will have days of celebration
as many as we have heroes
We will know that children are the guardians of love
And that there are as many queens
as there are women
We say first encounters are
the most beautiful travels
We see, that deserve only as
what we can share
We can hear the music of beyond the seas
And know, how we can give the best of us
--------
Refrain
--------
You are the stars, we the universe
You are a grain of sand, we are the desert
You are million white pages and I am the feather
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You are the horizon and we are the sea
You are the seasons and we are the Earth
You are the shore and I am the sea foam
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Me kuuleme Harlemit Manhattanini välja
Me tee värvime punaseks Ammani turgudel
Me ujume Senegali jões
Me põletame Bombay Bengali tules
Me kriibime taevast Kyoto kohal
Me tunneme Rio rütmi Janieroni välja
Me tõstame oma silmad Sixtuse kabeli lakke
Ja tõstame eest päikeseprillid Puškini kohvikus
-Refrään-
Oh see on meie ilus võimalus
Miljonile inimeseks olemise värvile
Meie erinevuste segule
Saatuse ristmikul
Teie olete tähed, meie oleme universum
Teie olete liivatera, meie oleme kõrb
Teie olete miljon valget lehte ja mina olen sulg
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Teie olete horisont ja meie oleme meri
Teie olete aastaajad ja meie oleme Maa
Teie olete rand ja mina merevaht
Öeldakse, et luuletajatel pole lippe
Meil on niipalju pidupäevi
kui palju meil on kangelasi
Me teame
et lapsed on armu kaitsjad
Ja et on nii palju kuningannasid
kui on naisi
Me ütleme, et esmakohtumised
on kõige ilusamad reisid
Me näeme, et väärime vaid seda, mida suudame jagada
Me saame kuulda
meretagust muusikat
Ja me oskame anda endast parimat
--------
Refrään
--------
Teie olete tähed, meie oleme universum
Teie olete liivatera, meie oleme kõrb
Teie olete miljon valget lehte ja mina olen sulg
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Teie olete horisont ja meie oleme meri
Teie olete aastaajad ja meie oleme Maa
Teie olete rand ja mina merevaht
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Général: The Amazing Usual
This late morning I opened my bag of four organic oranges, climbed out the kitchen window and up the little wall next to it and enjoyed the hot sun and the view over dry thorny nature, brush - mostly my dear ajonc and génet - and trees, light yellow fields. All under pale blue summer sky and a hot hot summer sun. How I enjoy buying organic fruits! And eating them! Norris about washing your hands after peeling an orange or a banana - feels heavenly!
Here I can buy organic products from the supermarket at a price of usual products or very little more expensive, so I try to buy bio-labeled bread, fruits, cosmetics (all of my cosmetics is bio label!), breakfast cereal, cookies .. :D I also try to buy local, that being desserts and yoghurt and I eat lots of yoghurt - I like it and I had to take antibiotics not long ago. One other of my quirks is juice. Tropical fruits juices :D The supermarket where we usualy shop, Super U, has it's own line of tropical fruit juices and I have tried almost all of them: guayava, litchi and passion fruit. Must say that the latter is my fav!
And one of the most amazing thing is that I do not have to worry about money. I have 325 euros per month. Too little? In Estonia the median wage is a little under 900 euros, prices are pretty much the same as in France and I was unemployed, before that a student supported by my not so wealthy family. I have had problems about money for years and years, always depending on someone. Now I have only myself :D
Or actually not. I am surrounded by my fellow volunteers, students doing their research and other people working or living in the station. Usually we cook together, having around 9 people at the table. Often we dine outside. So I am trying really hard to change my habits, like worring over food spoiling :P :D Last week I bought meat after a looong time of buying slices of bacon or one chicken fillet, please! and when I say, that I bought meat I mean that I bought pork for 9 :D
People usually speak French and I can understand 1 word per 20 minutes, rarely more - like then they are talking about codinette' :) Sometimes, mostly when they are joking around I get really sad, because I so much want to understand. My French is stubbornly residing in written language and when I try to speak.. Japanese blocks the door, smirking. Both the facts that I can understand written French prretty well and that my Japanese is giving me a hard time because of for some reason it has got activated - why now! why not while my Japanese studies???!!!! :D are amazing too.
And of course the fact that we have a computer room we can access any time thus enabling me to write this blog, be in touch with my friends and maybe something else ;) And from my second or actually first :P blog you can find poems and stories written here :)
What else :) The lake! This happened to me today:
"Went to have a peaceful walk on the lake side. An idea - why won't I go from the forest track to the lake shore? - Wrong idea. Got swarmed by tiny frogs and a cherry on top, a baby snake too. The scariest 1,5 metres in my life. But the froggies were cute, even the snakey"
I also try to swim in the lake - yes, in an artificial, but very alive lake with frogs of different sizes, fish, snakes and sometimes herons, cows drinking from there and swallows always flying over it - and not because I am not scared of all the wilderness in it. I t scares me!
And of course the French organizing skills.. the funniest thing ever! :D Nervewracking, crazy and after overcoming the oeh-s and woes a big big laugh :D Again :D
All for now, wrk finally? 16:54, time of notice to get prepeared, a record :D! 5 minutes. :D

1st
THE first week was a true limbo. Of our 3+3 team only 2 had arrived, the after arrival training hadn't taken place yet and so me and La Déesse just had fun in the company of SBP people. Station Biologique Paimpont, our home and family for 4 months.
* * * Tips: "Indroduction" to a language means that the person knows basics of basics. Not ready to attend a 4 hour scientific seminar.

Keeping in Mind
What we emphasise becomes important. At every moment we can choose who we want to be. Dreams come real trough dreamers who dare to make them Real.

The Yellow Welcome
Genêt et Ajonc were the first things I saw. Being sad, having taken the wrong more expensive bus from the airport I looked outside from the bus window: everything is yellow. So beautiful. That yellow made me happy.
1st of June. Arrival, Nantes
