After Götheborg...

Life's not the same after the Götheborg's stopover in Jakarta last June. At least, for me. The girls and I participated in the activities at the port and in town during the ship's stay, and it was for us a truly wonderful experience. I can talk and talk and talk and talk about the Götheborg but I'd better suggest you to go see www.soic.se instead :-)

Anyway, when it was time for the Götheborg to continue her voyage to China, saying goodbye was heartbreaking *sob*. But now since I see things differently (one of the lessons I learned from the Götheborg project is that even the craziest dreams – with certain degree of madness – can actually come true), I couldn't help myself from smiling or even laughing every time I'm home and get inspired by the Götheborg: I see our lower terrace as the 'weather deck', the balcony is the 'sun deck', we have our 'cabins', and the dining / living room now seems to me like the 'gun deck'. Minus the seasick, that is. Somehow imagination can keep our spirit high ;-)

(and maybe, that was the reason we weren't annoyed when the street outside the house was flooded – though we didn't like it. Whenever it happened, we used to go up to the balcony and looking at the flooded street, we'd say "oh, are you sure we're not in Venice?")
