I woke up today (07'June) at 5 and something am with those big german immigration policemen asking for our passports. I was sleepy, didnt say a word,
just handed them my documents.
He was looking and looking and looking..... and looking! I did not worry, just waited. Then he showed to the other policeman, who also looked and looked
and looked more again and gave it back to me.
Then he found out I spoke English and asked for my passport again. I was wondering, am I beeing looked for? hehehe....
Then he asked me where I was going to, and I answered with my sweetest voice, heheheh: "Sweden". I was ready to show him the Sweden Festival papers
if he asked me what I was going to do there! hehehe... and show him my rock and roll hands \m/.... I am glad he didnt ask, imagine if he got offended.
Anyway, I think their way to deal with us is just to express power, the same that happens when we try to enter USA. Their immigration officers are
intimidating. But a suggestion, if you have nothing to hide, just relax and wait. They are doing their job and to be tough is part of it.
I was a little frustrated because last night I wanted to have some coffee along with something to eat but there was no restaurant in the train.
I love restaurants in trains. I can sit, have a coffee, look at the window and see myself passing by the world outside! Since the beginning of the this
train trip, we passed by part of Holland, crossed Germany and now we are in Denmark. Isn't it great? Besides, in a train trip, you can see all of this
through the window. I just love it!
And after all of those immigration issues, I went after some coffee. The train tripulant told me I could keep going to the next car which was
the restaurant. So I got ready for my breakfast, took my notebook and my video camera and here I am.
Also, there is a cool german man in the train. We were outside at the same time for a smoke and we were trying to communicate. The funny thing is
I dont speak German, which I would love to, I really love the language! And he does not speak English. But I think we understood just a little bit we were
saying, heheheh. This is something else I love in all of this!
Honestly, I can't wait to arrive at the hotel in Kristianstad and take a long hot shower! And change clothes!
It is yet 7:12am here and we are supposed to arrive in Copenhagen at 10am. From there, another train to Kristianstad. So, hang in there, there is still sort
of a long way.
I will be back later!!!
(some time later......)
Im now in the train to Kristianstad. It might take 2 hours to get there, I can say "yes, I am really tired". My equipment bag is very heavy and it is the
first time I use this one. I can put the notebook in it, but the problem is, it gets too heavy!
It is so nice when I get in places and I reconized them. For instance, yesterday when I got in the Amsterdam Centraal Station,
I myself found my way to the locker area. As I was walking I thought to myself "oh I remember this, or that..." Today, when I got at the
Copenhagen Train Station I felt exactly the same thing as yesterday.
Well, I might stop now, I am almost falling asleep and I cant miss my stop, hehehehe....
I will be back later!
