Gibolution

... or my evolution in Gib:

8 months ago we pretended to be planes taking off while crossing the runway. Now we laugh at the people who do it.

8 months ago I thought it is very weird that a road is crossing a live plane runway. Now it seems quite natural to me.

8 months ago I thought it is very exciting to cross a border every day. Now I get annoyed of showing my passport and purse contents 2-3 times a day.

8 months ago all I knew in Spanish was 'Me gustas tu', thanks to Manu Chao. Now I even understand a little bit when people speak to me and can speak a little bit too.

8 months ago I found the one big happy family (of everyone who works/lives in Gib) a nice idea. Now I very often wish there was more privacy.

And many more. Funny things cross your mind when you walk ALL the way home and cross a runway and a border halfway through ;)
