Note me

Currently I am at Oshawa, Toronto. A lot experienced in a short duration of trip including my stay at Iceland, which I would like to share with you:

I have been in the wish to see Northern Lights in person in order to have the feeling of how beautiful the nature is in another form for a long time. One major purpose of my trip to Iceland was to accomplish this wish of mine in addition to the other natural lives there. The weather was cloudy during my stay; therefore I couldn't make to see the Northern lights . The first day of my stay at Iceland (which was planned and booked according to the plan) was skipped due to flight delay of IcelandAir, which made me stay at Copenhagen one day more (pushing the patience for one more day). Luckily I could, at last, managed to have the chance of having overview of Copenhagen and had some shots that you can see through "Kobenhavn, Denmark" folder. One night at Copenhagen and then at last the flight could come true. Then I arrived to Keflavik Airport, the international airport of Iceland..

ICELAND (SCANDINAVIA)

After arrival to Iceland you can see the beauty of the country. While being transported from the international airport to Reykjavik you can see the volcanic nature at the rocks and the different type of moss covering that rocks. The tourism there is based on tours; and first job of mine was to book the ones of that tours that fits my limited time of one and half days. One day: Golden Circle tour and the other half (the last day) Blue Lagoon which is a must for everyone to see, enjoy and push the borders of relaxing with warm/hot water there in Iceland.. Golden circle is a route of different natural places in Iceland at close-by places to Reykjavik: Waterfalls, Geysers, etc. The last day was spent in Blue Lagoon: just perfect I can say (please don't have the mood of envying but have the planning to see there). What I informed you in this journal is short be sure, if we are talking about Iceland: there are more for us the photographers..

CANADA

Now I am at Canada.. People are saying "how are you doing?" to me at the first meet, which I couldn't find a way how to reply to that . I learnt that it is somehow saying "hello". People are nice, at least they are not scaring of me. But my friends I am having trouble to talk to people although they seem to be friendly: one reason that I found out that my English is poor (some don't understand me and also I don't understand some) - I will solve this as soon as possible!, but still looking for your suggestions if you have any; and another reason having the afraid of being treated in the same reject-ional behavior to my friendly approach as Danes did.

To get used to the environment I am going to have a stay at Toronto in the coming Easter with my Belgian friend, who was my colleague in my host university at Denmark. Thanks to my Belgian friend named as Lies, she has helped me a lot in Denmark, and has showed her friendliness to me all the time. And now also in Canada she is doing the same..

The moral of my trip story is that "Be humanist with being friendly, with caring of everyone around (also the local ones, that you may have missed unconsciously to be friend to them, and with not being selfish"! The god (in each religious language) , the positive energy,.. (whatever you are in the belief of) will give the response of your goodness back all the time.

Thank you for listening (if you could make read of this journal up to now)
