Weird weekend
Every time I spend a while in my hometown with my family, I’m awfully tempted to go back to this place.
I went shopping with my mother on Saturday, buying groceries. Cheep, cheep groceries. Compared to Munich here, I was amazed how cheep everything was.
Then there was my brothers’ birthday party. Loads of lovely people, who I’ve been acquainted with over the years. I wouldn’t go so far and call them all friends, some of them surly are, but I feel like I belong.
What’s more, I am not sitting in front of the monitor all day and night. When I’m there, I spend my time with other people, talking, playing and interacting. Sitting in the Sauna, having dinner together.
I miss my clan.
On the other hand I don’t think I will go back. I still feel like I haven’t seen enough of the world and I need to get out of Germany sooner or later, mostly to Scotland.
But what am I seeing here in Munich I haven’t seen so far? Not much, that’s for sure. Mostly it’s been there, done that. I hardly use the amount of offered cultural activities. Opera? Once. Theatre? Never. Exhibitions? Errr… Concerts? More and more, mostly in the last year. Cinema. Definitely the English one. I won’t go back to watch dubbed movies; can’t do this back there.
Spending much time in trains however, is not a good looking prospect. And what about my band? And my friends here?
Maybe I’ll make a list with the pros and cons. And the costs. Stupid, stupid costs. Need to think about it.
