the week of Firsts

in luxembourg. never had it in my dream list to come...but here i am. je suis la. everyone speaking french (that's a first), a building made of glass (never worked or spent any amount of time in one), meeting a person every single day whom i had only heard of to be only faced with "oh i have heard of you! (being heard of is a tricky statement), where my heels get stuck in odd holes and i have only almost fallen a bazillion times on immaculate floors...

i don't know. everything is first here. i am literally out of my comfort zone for a period of more than 4 hours. the last time i left my comfort zone was for the radio show last month.

can a city be so spick and span, with such sharp corners, have shiny interfaces and yet be so far from cosiness? yes it can. just a friend of mine said one would need some really close friends to want to live in luxembourg. i miss istanbul not because of its familiarity but because of its surprises. i think i crave surprises more now in my life than any other time...i can't decide if that is a good or a bad thing.
