Beach bound!

Hm…Kitesurfing didn’t work out today. Tomorrow it will…hopefully :P Today was beach time and working hard on the tan. It is funny how cultures are different in Asia and in the West when it comes to the skin color. Being white is worshipped, since if you have tan, it means that you are a simple worker, whereas in the West, if you have nice tan, it projects the image of prosperity – the fact that you can pay for holidays in a sunny place, especially in winter.

So yeah, just lazy relax and swimming in the sea, which really is gorgeous. During the day the water is really shallow for a long time, but when you finally reach a point where your toes can’t touch the seabed, you can still see it clearly – just watch out for the boats that far away. Floating is amazing, just gazing into the bright blue sky or observing the boats…Pure procrastination. Oh, I did proceed on reading “The girl who played with fire” and I think it’s not as good of a book. There is tons of unnecessary description of shopping in IKEA that drags on what seems like forever. The dialogues don’t have any depth and the characters are shallow. The first book of the series, “The girl with the dragon tattoo” was a bit better, but for the same reasons it was a torment to go through the first half until the actual action begun. So I’m going to break the principle of finishing the books and just give it away. By the way, I wish somebody came up with a thing, that would register my thoughts during the day and that I wouldn’t have to carry around and remember about. I forget so many things I want to put in writing!
