Just like in India or SEA,

but a bit less smoky. These are the Tuk-Tuks of Sintra.

I have here two examples. Both from Piaggo. Both APEs. Ape means bee in Italian. The scooter called Vespa means wasp, the tuk-tuks bee. They certainly have thought about that at the Piaggio headquarters. I love Italy. The women, the wine, the lively streets. Where else in the world does it make so much fun to put a bottle of wine in your pocket inside of your jacket and chat with the people on the big square?

When was I there? 2005?

I slept for a moth on a couch in the flat of my new friends. Musicians, students of art, .. it was some of the best moments of my life. I sold self-made ballons with wheat flower in them. All I needed was a couple of euros for salami and white bread. Some water, set.

My heart becomes heavy when thinking about these days. My face was young and the skin a bit more elastic. Nowadays I smell like an ox and walk like an old man. One leg shorter than the other the hip problem manifests more and more.

Life. Fucking cool!
