tonight at 23:oo the eurolines bus will take me away from brussels to berlin. yeah, at last? well, actually it is a little sad. i met some people in the last two days, which made me think, i could spend a bit longer time, there are so many interesting people around. and berlin and everything which is awaiting me is far from being quiet and peaceful. it will be emotional, seeing my family in about

i dont know what to do with my frustration. there are many things i dont like about brussels. but hallo, i was trying to like it. i was trying not to blame every shit on this city, but sometimes i just want to let my frustration off something. sorry this is the time.3 times have i been to ULB library here, each time i was almost exploding with anger and frustration. i wont tell you about previous

Somehow semi-consciously i got into the plain, which took me to Prague, with no cash in my pocket, and thoughts in my head all about my laptop being in the luggage, which i had to check in, and my precious thesis thoughts under the risk of getting ruined in it. when i arrived, i realized i didnt know where to go. i knew i was staying in the dorm, i didnt know the name of the dorm, nor the name of

I was talking with my trukish colleagues the other day, and we spoke of games, and they remembered backgammon, and started counting in persian, and wondered how come they used these words and not other... here is what i found on history of games like chess and backgammon...ChessChess is first mentioned in texts dating from the early centuries of the common era, when the Sasanian dynasty ( A.D.

there is an amazing person in this world, who was named after one afghanistani female warrior - nafisa. i believe the name in one way or another determined the way of her life, her choices and aspirations, her ideas and commitments, her feelings and hopes...i am the lucky person to know this person and to feel that wherever she is, we think of each other, we need each other, we share the ideas,

issues on my mind:workshop on EU's external borders. the first panel. very interesting. i could follow. many specialists, scientists and practitioner from all over europe;discussed are: what are the borders? do we need borders? where do borders begin? border control, borders as areas of insecurity, migration as a threat, and activities of many fancy organisations like frontex and bla bla bla...

i havent posted since may 2, does it mean i haven't learnt anything since then? I have revised my concept of posting my newly acquired knowledge, can't be bothered with that. i am sure it isn't the most interesting thing to read either. well, the idea of keeping the track of everyday learnings is not bad actually, but it is the style which is important i guess.... since May 2, 2oo7...When was it

I’ve learnt on 2.05.07 that… I don’t like my new room, where I have moved in just today. There are several BoMCAs like BoMCA1, BoMCA2, BoMCA3 and 4 and 5, which show phases. Well, BoMCA is a Border Management in Central Asia proramme launched by the European Commission in the year 2003 and is supposed to be implemented in the period of 2004-2009 in Central Asia.

What I have learnt on 25.04.2007:i. Steinmeier’s sentence: ‘President Yeltsin turned his eyes towards Europe and opened Russia to the world’ii.

Back in Brussels. Since Saturday night. went to the park, well it is actually more sophisticated. the place is called king's residence Laeken, and we went to the Serre Royales de Laeken, where the king Leopold II built amazing green hauses in 1873. the amount of flowers and odour made me feel dizzy and wonder if a man could be so much in love with flowers. My first day in CEPS... is the name of
