Thank you all for charging my batteries for the winter, and making my first (but hopefully not last) easa such a memorable experience!

Hola everybody!!!

It's been 5 days since I've arrived in Spain but untill now, I didn't have the time to leave my message here (working 9 hours per day...agggg). Any way, I just want to say THANK YOU ALL. It was my first EASA experience and I'm looking forward to repeat it next year (I wish it would be possible).

Duncan, I admire the work you were doing there. Lewis and Adam, those 2 rabbits were delicious!!! and Marko, it was great that "porteño" speaking of you XD.The rest...just keep on being so freak!!!

So, that's all. I hope we will meet again and will have a larger chat. Maybe next year's EASA, maybe in a future EASA in Spain (who knows?). At least you will find me here!!

Saludos!!!

PS: I'm thinking about sharing my pictures and videos in a P2P program....do you use emule?? what do you think about that??

After a long trip, 2 days without sleeping, finally i get home, all the feeling of this easa still remains, thank to all the people of EASA, it was a great experience. i hope to see you soon, take care

Dear European Architecture Sickness Association. Duty Doctor

I am an over worked under paid architectural student who recently has experienced a series of harrowing life like hallucinations. My concerns are growing as to their long-term impact, severity and possible ramifications! Let me explain. I keep waking up in this cold sweat, bitten by all over; as if by bats or mosquitos, and finding myself high off the ground in makeshift dig’s resembling a shantytown, where torturous groans resonate from distant corners. In a vain attempt to escape the apparition I go to shower, only to be confronted by distressing screams of young girls. With that failing, I consider happiness is found through food, but then; as if chained in a working gang I cue to be force fed a branch like wheat stick I hear people cursing as a ‘baguette’. Seeking true evasion I yearn a cup-of-tea, but instead dishwater seems to suffice. This nightmare has been frequenting me daily now for nearly two weeks. As I drift back to harmony and the doldrums of the morning’s monotony disappear further irregularities to my usual routine begin again. These can only be hallucinations; surely. Wandering the alleyways and trodden backwaters of the shanty town, dishevelled youths bearing archaic tools, chanting in foreign tongue marching in orange suits appear and disappear, like snow whites dwarfs more appear in grey suits; again with new tongue a staggered walk and gesticulating arms. Trying to turn on to a new path and escape the escalating madness; more come with greater surprises, bridges appear from nowhere going from nowhere to nowhere. As the creak of metal resonates the shantytown metamorphoses and like wood worms chewing through a rotten tree people run from corner to corner, some making noise others carrying noise, the cursing and thrown arms skywards increasingly apparent as if these bodies, like me are possessed. Again these hallucinations become monotony. Daily at the same time I find myself ushered into a room full of people, with a man in black preaching to us who I hear people calling; ‘The Architect’. As these echoing daily services go on I try to question what IS going on. Then I find not even my words are understood, a vagrant offers to translate my English to English and some how all becomes clear; ‘The Architect’ his congregation and combatants all ‘nod’ and ‘tut’, I am none the wiser and melt down trying to disappear and escape the madness. Please if you are or have experienced the same prolific thoughts let me know. We might be able to work it out together.

Any schnitzel around? (Not only Belgium's roadsigns are lousy, Belgium restaurants can make lousy cordon bleu too! I am still not sure if there was no taste or no meat in the product, or that it was both)
