We miss you

We Miss You is a cool social campaign from three German film students. It deals with the relationship between humans and nature by asking an exceptional question: “What if nature cares for us or even misses us?” The online short film is intruiging and has a clear message: nature misses you.


The students used the project as a graduate film, which was awarded with three Young Directors Awards in Cannes.

Soon!

1 month of pure cycling. Can't wait for the 24th of July: I'll be in Paris to watch the last stage!

Rider unsafety

In one hand, I was really in need of sunny weather, nice temperatures (some days with almost 40ºC) and good food!

On the other, I was getting used to the peaceful roads in Norfolk where drivers respect riders and are cautious (majority). Here drivers are crazy! They always want to be in front of the riders, yell and horn at you, drive fast and some even drive through the red lights. Some streets have 1 meter holes.

Cycles paths are another joke in Lisbon: people use the bike lanes to walk (when they have a sidewalk) and cars and even big trucks are parked in the middle.
I'm not comparing Lisbon with Norfolk. The places are completely different. And I know if I lived in London it should be the same as here. But for me it feels different riding in Lisbon than before.

I guess the Lisbon riders will only have some safety when some drivers and people from the local authorities begin to walk, use their bicycles or the bus.

Feelings

Yes I'm back.

While I was in the plane watching the beautiful landscapes of my country and looking at the shapes of my city I felt really happy and thought to myself: "if everyone (including the people in my country) could spend some time away from the country and comeback after a while I guess they could have another mentality and try to preserve this".  The stress and the little-minor issues that people have in their day-to-day lives keeps them way from giving the exact value to our country. 

For me it's just for 1 month but feels good to spend some time with my family and my friends here. And to eat my mom's food! I don't cook badly (from what family says) but it's not the same coming home and seating in the dinner table with all the family together.

However I have to organize myself because time is going to fly. I have 2 chapters of my dissertation to finish in this month while take some time to see each one of my loved ones.

Bees

I feel completely different when I get out of my house and ride through the Norfolk fields and farms enjoying the sun, the peaceful roads and all the animals including sheep, squirrels, rabbits, cows and even foxes.

I also feel different when like today I got a bee sting in my lip! It hurts!

Do you want to be my friend?

I spend some time on the social media say Facebook and Twitter.

But never thought how the internet life could translate into a day-to-day life. Seems a bit strange.
