- lots of dreams - its a new years eve - Milica my mothers friend is organising a party in the swimming pools of a luxurious hotel. But she enclose all the people in the room with glass walls - all the people leying in the foldable beach chair - beds like in big brother. Somebody say - Common you cant keep us locked here its New Years eve. Lets go swimming. And we go out.

- go to the post office. for sending packagies they send me to the other part of the town. I take a cab. On the way taxi driver takes one more costumer. He is loosing his way. cant find the direction. When we arrive he asks me for 20EP. I throw him on the seat 5EP and go away. At the post office I realise that I dont have enough money for sending a package so I go to out to find cash machine. Now walking under the bridge that I aws always passing over with a cab going to Khana Khalili. Its willed with small stores and workshops. I buy a bunch of stickers in arabic. Back in post office - My package was 1.100g so they want to charge me as 1.5 kg. I take some rice out of the bag so its 980g. Anyway I pay the shipping a summ that is probablly half of their month income. I reckon they could hate me for a moment.
