Happy Moon Festival!


Huí en dia, les famílies es continuen reunint durant un dia per relaxar-se i per menjar pastissos de llunes. Durant aquestes reunions encara es conta la llegenda de la Deessa de la Lluna, Chang-O, als més xicotets de la casa.

Hi havia una vegada un famós arquer, Hou Yi, que amb les seves fletxes podia matar els pitjors enemics de l’humanitat, bèsties ferotges que habitaven la terra. Yi estava casat amb Chang-O, una dona bonica que havia sigut la criada de la mare de la reina de l'oest abans del seu matrimoni. Durant aquesta època, hi havia 10 sols que donaven voltes en torns al voltant de la terra,un cada 10 dies. Un dia, les 10 òrbites van eixir al mateix temps, provocant una gran amenaça a la superficie de la terra i a tota l’humanitat. El savi Emperador de la Xina va convocar Yi i li va demanar matar tots els sols excepte un, i així ho va fer Yi. Quant Yi va fer la seua feina va ser recompensat amb una píndola, l'elixir de la vida:. L’Emperador li va dir que no tinguera pressa per prendre aquesta píndola, abans havia de preparar-se amb l’oració durant un any. Com que Yi era un home savi, va agafar la píndola i la va amagar a casa mentre començava el seu preparament. Durant aquest temps l’Emperador continuava fent-li comandes a Yi.
Aprofitant que el seu marit no hi era, Chang-O, va veure una llum brillant que hi havia al darrere d’una biga, i seguint el seu perfum va trobar la píndola i de la va tragar. Tot seguit, Chang-O va descubrir que podía volar. Just en aquell moment, el seu marit va tornar a casa i se’n va adonat del què havia passat i va començar a reprendre a la seua dona. Chang-O se’n va volar per la finestra cap al cel. Yi es va donar pressa i la va agafar de la ma i la va seguir pel cel fins que degut a la força dels vents va haver de tornar a la terra.

La seua dona va arribar fins a la lluna, i allà, sense alè, va tossir part de la píndola i va caure de la seua boca. Allà hi havia una llebre i la dona li va manar que agafara un morter i fera una altra píndola, per poder així, tornar a la terra al costat del seu marit. La llebre encara està batent la píndola…

Pel que fa a Yi, es va fer construir un palau al sol com Yang (el sol i el principi mascle), Chang-O com Yin (la lluna i el principi femella).
Una vegada a l’any, en el 15é dia de lluna plena, Yi visita la seua dona, és per això que la lluna està més bonica que mai en eixa nit.

Edinburgh: Auld Skool with my lads
Saturday I went down to South Clerk Street where I met Chris and Siobhan at the Southern Bar, Chris was playing at the Eclectic Mud. We had a great time, trying to catch up with our lives for the last 4 years.
Sunday, It was Fringe in the Meadows, it was weird as the last times I’ve been there it used to be in Holyrood Park. There was a great atmosphere but still raining since Wednesday so I ended up in the Spiegaltent in George Square, then later I went to the Delaney’s residence where I saw everybody, and then to Jon and Jude’s. Great to see Leslie, Ben, Corinne, Jon and Jude, Kenny and Jo and Bonnie.
I stayed Sunday and Monday with Jon and Jude, it was so good to see you, I’ll never forget what you did for me. I love you.
Monday I had an appointment with Jo Delaney. I met her in town and then they invited me for dinner. We had some wine in the garden and while I was throwing the ball to Bonnie, we were talking and laughing about old stories.
Tuesday it was Jon’s birthday, so Happy Birthday Jon!! I hope you decided where to go on your Round the World Trip, it sounds really exciting . You know we have an appointment in Asia if I’m there by the time.
Tuesday…yeahhhh….I was finally going to meet all my mates, Chris, Siobhan, Stef, Stevie and Ross. I had the feeling as if the clock had stopped 4 years ago, seriously, nothing seemed to have changed since the last time I saw you. You are still the same fantastic people I remember I had as friends. You made me feel like at home again, very welcomed and thanks for encouraging me to go back, I wish I would…Thanks for sharing your time with me…YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE PEOPLE!!

Caledonia your calling me and im going home
Let me tell you that I love you
and I think about you all the time...
Caledonia...Im goin home!!
I dont know if you can see, the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, ive been afraid that i might drift away
And ive been tellin old stories, singing songs
That made me think about where i came from
Thats the reason why i seem so far away today.
CHORUS
Oh but let me tell you that i love you
And i think about you all the time
Caledonia your callin me and im goin home
But if i should become a stranger
You know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia your everythin ive ever had.
Well ive been moved, and ive kept on movin
Proved the points that i needed proovin
Lost the friends i needed loosin
Found others on the way
And i have kissed the ladies and left them cryin
Stolen dreams theres no denying
Travelled hard with contience flyin
Somewhere with the wind
REPEAT CHORUS
Now im sitting here, beside the fire
The empty room the forest choir
Flames that couldnt get any higher
Theyve withered now there gone
But im steady thinking my way is clear,
And i know what i must do tomorrow
When the hands ive shaken and the flown i will dissapear.
REPEAT CHORUS

Stockholm: Ice, Ice baby!!!!
Al darrere, el Palau Reial, i baix nosaltres fent-nos les sueques...ja, ja, ja....
The Old Town o Centre històric.
A la nit va vindre la meua amiga Milla a buscar-nos a l'hotel. Ella és de Oulu, de Lapònia a Finlàndia, però fa 6 anys i mig que viu a Estocolm. Vam viure juntes a Castelló i des d'aleshores ens hem vist un parell de vegades arreu del món. Hi Milla! It was great seeing you. We have to plan something for your next visit. Say hello to Boris and Anders!
Well, Milla, as I told you, the next time I'll go there for a longer time, thanks for showing us around and introducing us to your friends.
