Glad you could escape boredom at least for a day ;-)<BR/><BR/>Regarding your questions: there is an upside and a downside to everything in life. I try to keep as closely to my passion as possible, but never disregard the practical. In the end we do need to eat, and we do need a roof over our heads :-)<BR/><BR/>I don't travel that much, actually. Simply because I don't have that much money to spend on traveling. A lot of my traveling takes place on-line. That is my highway to stay in touch with my European/Canadian/American/Indian network. So in the comfort of my own home I travel a lot. And get inspired a lot!<BR/><BR/>Please don't loose your curiosity. :-) If you're modest enough in the beginning, try to follow your passion as closely as you can, I believe the financial/psychological/social rewards will follow. <BR/><BR/>The challenge is to be creative within the limits that your surroundings set for you (there is no escape from that, unfortunately).Elmine Wijniahttp://elmine.wijnia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253612748703053546.post-82471251375928452732007-05-24T03:40:00.000-07:002007-05-24T03:40:00.000-07:00Hi Ana, I hope you had time to see things in Amsterdam! I looked up for you what the three XXX mean in the Amsterdam flag (they are called Andreas crosses). It is not completely certain, but they stand for the three plagues of Amsterdam: water, fire and the pest. <BR/>Next time a beer in Paris?Carla V.http://carlav.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253612748703053546.post-60164934860058038232007-05-23T23:45:00.000-07:002007-05-23T23:45:00.000-07:00Hi!<BR/>Thanks for the comment.
