More
goodbyes.
Friday I
returned to school after a week of absence and I always love coming back to my
school again. The school day was pretty normal, I got the photos of the photo
shoot we did a few months ago. I gave a lot of my friends a small photo to keep
with them as a memory, I also wrote all small texts on it; it made loads of
memories come up.
In the
night there was the goodbye party of taekwondo. All my friends, all the little
kids, and all the parents of the little kids arrived at the party and quickly
the salchichon and the carne asada was being prepared on the grill. On the
meantime I put on my taekwondo suit and the teacher awarded me with the blue
belt, there was no exam I showed enough the day before when we were practicing.
The rest of the evening I spent talking and chilling with my friends of
taekwondo. They are very good friends and I can talk to them about everything;
I didn’t really expect to find such good friends here.
Taekwondo
has become a really big part of my life here, and my life in general. A new a
sport was not on my ‘to-do-list’ or in any of my plans. But it was a very god decision
to do it, and I am very thankful to my friend Chino for that. Taekwondo opened
a new world for me, in never considered Martial Arts something for me but now I
know that it is for everybody. Taekwondo made me more secure and gave me more
self-confidence. But most of all it is importance that it gave me friends. Note
for my-self: you want friends? Get into a sport. I hope I will be able to
continue with taekwondo in The Netherlands!
Yesterday
was a very different day, full of unexpected and fun things. In the morning I
went to Jaco with an uncle and my hostbrother, this time not to surf, no this
time to work. My uncle goes every Saturday morning to an organic market in Jacó
in I asked him to help him. It was a very nice and small organic market, but the
amount of gringos which arrived was incredible. My uncle sold top-quality
organic products such as mangos, papayas and avocados. I went to past amounts
of souvenir stores to buy souvenirs to bring home. Later we went past playa
Hermosa to see a surf tournament but that wasn’t really something.
In the
night I went to a video game tournament in a private in Orotina to chill there
with some friends. I didn’t participate but had fun with my friends there.
There were some people from my school with whom I didn’t really talk that much
but I did this night and I think that they could be really good friends of
mine, to bad I have only 4 days left. That is a feeling I have been living for
the last days: ‘what the hell does it matter?’ I am leaving in a few days so
why should I care about this or about that? These thoughts go away after a few
seconds of logical thinking, I don’t want people to remember me as some kind of
douchebag and I really care about the people here.
