Friends are fantastic and wifi is wonderful

So I've made it through the first week of E.S.C.A.P.E trip, without losing anything apart from sleep and half of my voice, and experiences, memories, new clothes and probably about 2kg gained.

I have spent the last week in Denmark and Sweden, catching up with friends I haven't seen for years. With many of them, it has been like I saw them last weekend. I have been lucky enough to be able to pick up these pieces where I left them, and arrange them into a perfect picture of partying and playing. When I think back to when I last was here, it seems so long ago, updating someone on the last 4 yrs is pretty fun, especially when each year has been as full as I was after the brunch buffet in Åhus. 

Anyways, it was really hard saying goodbye to these guys the first time. I never thought I would have such special people in my life again. Well, thanks to an upbringing filled with love and my ever-optimistic outlook, my heart is like a big hotel, with a ton of rooms. Of course, there are a few in the VIP suites who get the deluxe love and constant service. There are a few more basic suites with guests waiting to be upgraded to having 24hr spa access. Then there are some international guests like the ones I have recently had check in again. These guests may have only had brief stays in VIP suites, but once they have stayed in "Joana's Heart Hotel" I will always care about their wellbeing, they are the ones who receive the complementary fruit basket when they check in again.

Now I wouldn't have been able to find lots of these friends if it weren't for wireless Internet. Really we live in a pretty magical age. I was seriously afraid of causing an aeronautical disaster by using the wireless they had free on the aeroplane. To break down the concept that I was sitting in an aircraft moving the speed of sound, the  communicating with people in 3timezones and transferring currencies is just too difficult for me right now, writing this whilst sunbathing and enjoying 'the view' .

I've been able to connect to wireless in busses, trains, planes, restaurants, airports, town squares, parks and houses. Connecting to wireless has led to connecting with friends, family, employers, banks, airlines, dance studios and tourist sites. No more lonely planet guidebooks and Internet cafes. 

And speaking of Wireless, that's the name of the first music festival I'm going to go and see in London. I'll make sure I ask Kanye and Justin Timberlake to have a look at my blog if their iPads are connected to wifi at the Olympic Staduim. Who knows, if we become friends on Facebook, Justin Timberlake might finally be able to check into his room at the Heart Hotel I have reserved especially for him since 1999.
