travelling notes (i)


At one point you realise that the whole idea of travelling is to feel uncomfortable. It's what you do it all for - to see an Italian gentleman take 15 minutes and a million gestures to explain the short way to a concert hall, to see a pagan party in a God-forsaken Spanish province that you take a whole night to decipher. A hotel should be decent, weather tolerable, but feeling settled, feeling at home - it's the opposite of travelling.
