Why I blog in English and why blogging is fun..
Yesterday I was in Madrid, today I got this mail:
Hi Ine.
I'm not sure if you remember me. I'm one of your long time readers.
We exchanged some mails when you were leaving for Cuba some time ago... :) We exchanged words about our common friend: Yasser, from Karama.
You even posted my website as one of your daily links... (it was really a surprise).
I keep reading you blog, at least once a week (too busy to read all my feeds daily). It's really interesting, and getting better all the time. I take this opportunity to congratulate you for all the great things you are getting in the last couple or years: your work, your own flat, your girl... You deserve it... :)
Since then, I also have some news... now I have a daughter of 20 months. Her name is Nerea and she's really a little princess.. You'd love her. :)
And well, today I read that you are in my city (Madrid) !!!! Or maybe gone by now... :(
I've seen that you were in the city center... I have even recongnised one of the shops where I buy shows (Tacones, in Preciados) :) That's funny :)
Next time you came here, drop me a line... and if schedules allow, I can show you around...
Yours,
David.
It's a funny yet so exciting world when you come to get these mails. Where you meet friends in different places and share pieces and bits, and they inspire you or vice versa.
Internet did wave borders in its way.
And I admit, these readers are the reason why I continue writing in (often broken) English.
Because language isn't anything more than a medium to pass what is important: the message.
