Go forward in time to December 2009.
El árbol que tú olvidaste
siempre se acuerda de ti
y le pregunta a la noche
si serás o no feliz
El arroyo me ha contado
que el árbol suele decir:
Quien se aleja junta quejas
en vez de quedarse aquí
Al que se va por el mundo
suele sucederle así,
que el corazón va con uno
y uno tiene que sufrir
Y el árbol que tú olvidaste
siempre se acuerda de ti
Arbolito de mi tierra
yo te quisiera decir
que lo que a muchos les pasa
también me ha pasado a mí
No quiero que me lo digan
pero lo tengo que oír:
Quien se aleja junta quejas
en vez de quedarse aquí
Atahualpa Yupanqui – El Árbol Que tú Olvidaste
Maemo Summit '09 gave me the chance to visit Amsterdam for the second time. A city I love and can't get enough of it.
All photos of Amsterdam, in its flickr set.
Also, Berto and I took a couple of days of holidays after the summit. We visited Den Haag (flickr set):
Delft (flickr set):
and last but no least, Rotterdam (flickr set):
Of course, I also made some pictures during the summit. Not all of these are so great as this one, though:
I read the other day in a Finnish newspaper that the Chilean musicologist Alfonso Padilla was awarded by the Student Union of the University of Helsinki as the best international teacher.
Of course, this is not very relevant to be in the Chilean news. We all care much more about Pellegrini's career in Real Madrid, and whether he is fired or not after every match.
Arrived in Helsinki yesterday evening after a rocking Igalia Summit near Padrón in Galicia. Unfortunately, my luggage didn't make it with me.
This is the third time in a row that my luggage doesn't make it with me (same happened when I came back in August after spending two months in A Coruña and on my trip to Amsterdam for the Maemo Summit in October). Downside is not having things I need with me, positive side is that it's comfortable to get your luggage delivered to you instead of having to carry it all the way from the airport. Of course it would be nice if this would be predictable, in order to have the important stuff in the hand luggage instead.
Hopefully, it will arrive safely as it did the other two times.
Go backwards in time to October 2009.
