Reestablishing...

Reestablishing...  That's the word of the day, for several reason...
For once, it is something I've been through when I moved back from London, also when I found my first job here and now my second...

It's also Something I need to do, to be able to move on.

After London everything seems different in your now wider eyes, You tend to see, want and do things in a grander way. That might prove itself difficult if you're the only one on that train, cause this new train of yours is just not so quick.

Ironically You'll need to re-learn your old ways... they are still there, cause they are just part of you, but they might be buried somewhere in the oblivion...
People will seem different... too much complaining..too little action... Maybe you're the one that's different know, you've been molded and know can see the reflection of the old you in the others around you.
The surroundings will seem the same.. too little improvement... You will expect to see major changes, more variety, more creativity, more options, more of everything, but reality is that there is not much, and what you now have is still not enough...

That's when you need to reestablish. You will need to adjust your camera lens, a bit more sharpness, not so much brightness, until you're able to see just right, that's when you start to speak your own language again.

BUT be not fooled. It will never be the same. This is were you will find the power of this little prefix "re-". Here it implies a change, another try, a new start, a new commitment. So there you go. Commit yourself to your new surroundings, your new reality, your new house, your new friends, your new job and your "new old Language".

Reestablishing is just one of the challenges of being human, It happens more that we know, and more then we expect, but it will come to us and as chameleons that we are, we will cope and adapt. As one once said "Adaptability is about the powerful difference between adapting to cope and adapting to win"
Max Mckeown

Lets also not forget the words of our dear Einstein" The measure of intelligence is the ability to change"

Underground Strike... Survival of the fittest

London is a huge city, the biggest on United Kingdom and the second biggest in E.U.. It has more than 8.3 million people living on it and the Underground itself, runs in 250 miles of land ... it's no small stuff.
Now imagine all of those people trying to move around the city without the underground... Its not a nice thing to see. This is when human nature reveals itself, for the good and for the worst. You can see how resilient we really are and how much of the animal we have inside...

Get ready to leave home at least 3 hours before, I've tried 2 hours and its not enough. Don't forget to maximise you patience, fill your wallet and wish it won't be as bad a day, as you expect it to be.
The bus lines are a sight, but you should not get demoralised by it cause you need to save it for the bus that will NOT stop, and the next following 10 ... Don't get too excited if it stops, cause it just for unloading...

Suddenly you find yourself in the wild Savannah, you are just another feline, longing to get that coveted pray AKA that small and really tight place on the bus, that will allow you to feel the breath of your fellow commuters, and guess what they had for breakfast/lunch/dinner... Just lovely. Don't think you'll get that spot easily, you'll have to be strong and stand all the pushing and biting, they won't mind if you are a small kitty or an expecting lioness.. this is the Savannah, the survival of the fittest.

You have two other options other than the bus, walking or taking a cab. The first will take some strength and resilience, cause it will be a long journey. As for the second it might take some lucky, cause there is this possibility that someone else might have taught of the cab before you did  and so you have to once again wait for the next available. As I told you before, you need to fill your wallet cause it won't be cheap...

And you ask me how I know all of this things ... I've been through them....
