Into the white: Beautiful Norway in winter

Oslo: Norway's Capital

This year we wanted to have a very special start into the new year. And so the idea to visit Norway was born. Destination: Oslo and Tromsø!

On the 26th of December our group of 7 friends (Vally, Georg, Sara, Olli, Marci, Erwin and Zippi) were off to an adventure of a life time. We did not really know what to expect – but we heard many stories about the beauty of the country so far.

Our first stop: Oslo! The hotel we booked was just next to the Central Station and we loved it. Great value for money, cool chilling area and nice rooms. (Info: Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station) 

The very next day we started our sightseeing tour in the early morning. Well, actually first we wanted to have breakfast somewhere. That was quite difficult though, cuz everything was still closed at 9am. The rhythm of life must be different in Norway...

Oslo in the morning

If you stay in Oslo you cant miss the National Museum. Most known picture: "The Scream" from Munch, of course! But you will find as well some other very famous painters like: Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and Matisse.

After the cultural thing we took a stroll to the Royal Palace, watched the change of guards there and went further to the Vigeland Park. A very picturesque Park with heaps of statues. Great spot to take some funny pictures.

At the evening and after a few hours in the freezing cold of Oslo it was time for a hot drink. Perfect place: the harbor. There are a lot of little bars and nice as well as fancy restaurants.  

Our time in Oslo was very limited (we had only 1.5 days) so for the last few hours we decided to walk up to the National Theater. It’s a very cool building and on the roof top is an official “Place to Kiss” (Oslo marked different spots in the city as places to kiss). And the last attraction we visited was the Oslo City Hall with its great paintings and impressive rooms. 

Other attractions in Oslo:

•          Akershus Castle and Fortress
•          Nobel Peace Center and Oscarshall
•          Day-trip to Bergen and the Bergen Railway
•          Bygdoy Peninsula
•          Holmenkollen

Tromsø: “The capital of the Arctic”- surrounded by mountains, fjords and islands

In the early afternoon we had to say goodbye to Oslo. Next destination: Tromsø.

It was snowing when we arrived and we found a fairytale-like winter wonderland. We were just impressed by the beauty of the city which is surrounded by mountains and fjords. Our apartment was as well a real good deal - a bit above City Center with a 360°view (Info: ABC-Hotel and Vikings apartments). Wow, what a welcome to this wonderful place. 

Arrival in Tromsø - walking up the hill with all our luggage

Romantic Tromsø

We had a whole week in Tromsø and a lot of To-Do-Things on our list:

1: Celebrating New Years Eve

There was no special Event or Party in Tromsø on New Years Eve, the Norwegian prefer home parties. So we decided to do it like the locals! After a delicious self-made dinner we attended a concert in the Arctic Cathedral. Highlight: Due to the fact that the Cathedral is on the other site of the fjord, you have to cross a 1k long bridge!

After the concert we walked home, had some drinks and prepared our self for the big firework at midnight. And honestly, I have never experienced such an impressive firework like in Tromsø. I think every single person in Tromsø (and I really mean every person) bought some fireworks and at midnight, by the blow of the horn from a cruise-ship in the harbor, everything started exploding around us. We just stood on our balcony (ok, actually we freaked out a bit and run from one site to the other one) and admired the amazing show while smoking a cigar from Cuba (thanx Vally and Georg!).

2: Northern Light Spotting 

Arriving in Tromsø we booked immediately a tour. There are many provider of these tours and they drive you with buses (small ones and big ones up to 50 people) through the area to the best spots for watching the Aurora Borealis. But even though we drove all the way to the Finish border, we were not so lucky that day and saw them just for a few moments.

But the next day we just stood on our balcony and all of a sudden everything turned green and we could witness this amazing and so unbelievable natural wonder. Wow, what a start into 2015!!

Before flying home there was a very strong activity and we could see the so called “Italian flag” (the lights turn red – so you have the green, white an red colors from the Italian flag).

Tip: With the App “Aurora Alert” you know how strong the activity is. If there is activity, you just need good weather (no clouds) and you can see the lights as well in Tromsø.

3: Whale Watching

Impressive nature and impressive animals - a great combo as we thought. So we booked a sneaky little boat and cruised through the fjords of Norway while spotting these amazing animals. Highlight of the trip: the captain caught fresh fish and made us an incredible tasty soup! 

Tour Operator: Tromsø Friluftsenter http://www.tromso-friluftsenter.no/

Tip: You can book bigger and smaller boats. The small ones take about 8 people and you get very close to the whales. The bigger ones are more comfy because you can go inside when it gets cold.

Whale watching

4: Dog-Sledding

These 5 little dogs can carry us through the snowy landscape? No way! That's what we thought at first sight. But we found out quite soon that we've been wrong. Actually it was hard work to keep them in moderate speed. For this great experience we had to pair up, one was the musher and the other one could sit quite comfy in front of the sled. For about an hour we slit through the beautiful nature and had a lot of fun. Some of us almost fell of the sled, some had trouble to keep the dogs straight, but it truly was absolutely amazing. After the dog-sledding we got spoiled with a great lamb-stew.

Tour Operator: Lyngsfjord Adventure and Camp Tamok http://www.lyngsfjord.com/

Tip: Camp Tamok is located in the middle of the mountains, far away from everything. You can stay there as well for a night or two and experience the Northern lights, or do Reindeer Sledding or a Snowmobile Safari.

Dog sledding 

5: Food and Drinks

We found pretty soon our favorite coffee place: Risø Mat & Kaffebar. The lovely little bar with its incredible tasty cakes, salmon sandwiches and cool drawing's on top of the coffee became our first stop almost every morning. Highly recommended.

As fish lovers the dinner at the restaurant “Fiskekompaniet” was a highlight as well as “EmmasDrømmekjøkken”.

Our favorite pub was definitely “Huken Pub”.

Coffee Art

6: Museums and Culture

The “Polaria” was a nice museum telling you insights about the arctic. Highlights: The architecture of the museum and the feeding of the seals. In the “Polarmuseet” can you experience the history about the expeditions into the arctic.

Furthermore the “Domkirke” as well as the “Arctic Cathedral” (they organize frequently Midnight concerts) are worth a visit. People interested in art can visit the “Center for Contemporary Art” and the "Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum".

Domkirke

Other things to do in Tromsø :

·         Walk around the lake “Prestvannet”

·         The Vistor Center in Tromsø can help you book all kind of tours

·         Walk along the Fjord

Lake “Prestvannet”

All in all we had an amazing time in Norway and it truly was an adventure of a lifetime. We will come back for sure!!
And thank you Vally, Georg, Sara, Olli, Marci and Erwin, you made this trip unforgettable. Let's say it with Sara's Words:

Out and about in South Tyrol, Northern Italy

I've travelled quite a bit and talked about my travel experiences in foreign countries. But it acutally never crossed my mind to write about my beautiful home. So this one is for the place I grew up and the place I'm probably going to grow old: South Tyrol.

When crossing the boarder to South Tyrol it probably wouldn't occur to you that you are in Northern Italy. However if you take the time and have a closer look you will soon notice a few differences. South Tyrol is somewhere stuck between Austria and Italy. Not only geographically. But the lifestyle, fashion, the mentality, the language and the food, almost everything is influenced by both cultures. I awalys like to say that we took the best of both nations. We are hard working, ambitous and accurate like Germans and connoisseurs and life lovers (yes, dolce vita) like Italians. And the best of all, we don't take ourselves too serious, are always in to have some fun and almost always pretty noisy. :)

The first thing you'll probably notice when crossing the boarder is that all of a sudden everything is bilingual German/ Italian. This is because the majority of the population in South Tyrol is German speaking. However you will also notice that most of us switch from German to Italian within seconds and vice versa.

A slogan once said: South Tyrol was formed by the Alps, but it's shaped by a Mediterranean lifestyle. And that's what it is. We love our beautiful landscapes, with its stunning mountains as well as pasta, pizza and a delicious aperitivo. We are sunbathing beneath juicy palms and climb the Dolomite's mountain peaks. We shop at Armani but always have a The North Face or Jack Wolfskin jacket at our fingertips. :)

In my opinion South Tyrol is a must see destination for every traveller. It's getting hot in summer and cold (with a loads of snow) in winter. So if you like the outdoors, South Tyrol should definitely be on your list. People here will always welcome you with a friendly smile.

Some must do's for South Tyrol:

1. Visit the the tower in Lago di Resia


 2. Stroll around Europe's smallest city Glorenza (population 600)


3. Enjoy a swim on a hot day at the Terme Merano


4. Go out in the region's capital Bolzano


5. Go hiking at the Alpe di Siusi


6. Enjoy the sun at Lake Caldaro


7. Climb the Dolomites


8. Take a detour to Val di Funes


9. Go shopping in Bressanone



10. Stop at Pragser Wildsee

Letter to Lisbon

Dear Lisbon,

for ages I've been dreaming to visit you. I've been told your are beautiful and full of style. So this summer, Lisbon, I travelled through Portugal and I could't wait to stop by and to finally visit you.

Maybe it was a bad decision to visit you by car, or even a worse decision to pick a hostel in the famous Alfama. However, the combination of arriving by car and having to drive through the narrow lanes of the Alfama maze almost made me lose my mind.

Never mind, though, it was a difficult start, but I had two days to get to know you and I was all excited because I was sure we would get along well with each other.

So I did like my Lonely Planet recommended. I strolled through the lanes of Alfama, visited the Castelo de Sao Jorge, the famous Sè, the Praca de Comércio and plenty more. I also went to Belém to explore the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the riverfront Torre de Belém and the Monument to the Discoveries.

However, Lisbon, I'm sorry to tell you there are some things I really don't like about you. If someone is not into fish or once in a while would like to have a tasty alternative it's almost impossible to find it. Maybe, coming from Italy I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to good food, but Lisbon, I'm sorry, I was rather disappointed by your cuisine.

Secondly, I don't like all the drug-sellers on the streets. It's simply impossible to stroll around Rua de Áurea without being offered Marihuana or Cocaine every second meter. Maybe it's because I'm very much against drugs but I find it rather disturbing.

Thirdly, I've been warned to be careful as there are many pickpockets and other criminals (apparently drug dealers?) around. So I watched my handbad and my boyfriend his camera like a mother her child but his camera had been stolen anyways, only within a second of distraction...

Fourthly, I missed the beautiful buildings. I saw a lot of dilapidated, abandoned shacks, covered with graffiti and streets full of rubbish.

I like you, Lisbon, for your shabby charme, but ours will never be a love story.

All the best
Manuela

P.S. If my camera wasn't stolen I would add some pictures now.

What there is GREAT about Britain

Bad weather, fish and chips, a cup of tea, or Mary Poppins… all associated with Great Britain. But there is a lot more to Great Britain than this. Experiencing it first hand while traveling
the South West of England and Wales we figured that Great Britain is the perfect summer destination.

Most of you probably would forgo Great Britain in summer. Well, there are a lot of other destinations in Europe that might be more attracting just like Spain, Italy, Portugal or France. And I don’t wanna lie to you. We were considering them as well.
But missing the language, the mentality and most of all full English breakfast we just told ourselves “FUCK IT” and decided to spend two weeks in England and Wales.
Looking back it was a great decision! However, no doubt we were quite lucky, as we’ve been told we had the best summer England experienced over the past six years. So please forgive us, if our opinion is a bit biased!

"Into the Wild" somewhere near Postbridge

I don’t know what it is like with you. But we are getting bored quite easily. So spending a week in a four –star resort somewhere in Croatia where you pretty much spend the entire day lying at the beach is just not our cup of tea. At the same time I don’t want to miss out on a great beach because of spending my entire time running around to see the must-see sights in a big city. So what did we do?

Postbridge - Dartmoor National Park

Monika has never been to London before, so we decided to spend the first four days in London. Sightseeing, wining and dining, watching the musical ONCE and strolling around Covent Garden, we had four amazing days. However, being tired of the big city we decided to rent a car to heading down South towards Dartmoor National Park. At the beautiful little village of Postbridge we decided to go for a walk just to get lost and came across amazing landscapes.

I felt a bit like “Into the Wild”, standing at the top of a big rock and seeing nothing but wilderness beneath my feet. From there we were heading to Cornwall, really excited to spend a few days at the beach. And again we were blown away by the beauty of the country. Seas of dazzling turquoise and gold-coloured beaches made us forget that this actually was England. Steep cliffs reminded us of the scenery of so many Rosamunde Pilcher films that we just wanted to stay and never leave again. Right from the beginning both of us fell in love with St. Ives a little but quite touristy town on the South West coast. Stunning beaches, steep streets and cobblestones in the city centre caught our attention. And the cute little shops selling beach themed décor perfected the postcard-like picture.
Keen on having some party and a few bevvies we made our way to Newquay (basically the Rimini of England), a party town that has no equal. Attending the Boardsmaster festival 2013 and camping on a campground with probably the dirtiest showers and toilets we’ve ever seen (and we stayed at some really shitty places before -  so this means they were actually really shit) we met some guys from Wales and had a great night out at Central and Walkabout Australia Pub.

Two days of partying, however were enough to
satisfy our durst and we decided to make our way up North towards Exmoor National Park. We visited the beautiful towns of Lynton and Lynmouth and stayed at a clean and comfy campground. It seemed that peak season was already over and apart from us there were only a few other tourists in the streets of Lynmouth, exactly what I was looking for – a beautiful and quiet coast town.

From Lynmouth it was about a three hours ride to Wales so we decided to take the chance to get to know this beautiful region.
Visiting Cardiff and Gower Peninsula I have to say that Wales is definitely worth a trip. I don't know if it was just of the bad weather we had but it was pretty quiet at the peninsula. In Parkmill we went horse riding and in Port Eynon we walked around the beach and had a great meal at a traditional pub. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too good and we only had one day at Gower so we didn't make it to see the other parts.

Back in Cardiff we started the night at a pretty quiet Kiwi pub and finished the night in a crowded Irish Pub. After having a great Italian meal in a lovely restaurant in the centre of Cardiff we made our way towards Cotswolds. I heard a lot about the Cotswolds and always wanted to see it, so when I first saw the towns of Lower and Upper Slaughter, it turned out to be exactly like I imagined it. And again, this feeling of wanting to stay and never leave again was back. I can’t tell how often it hit me during this vacation. After having a traditional full English afternoon tea in the gardens of the beautiful Lords of the Manor hotel it was about time to leave the Cotswolds and to head back to London to make our way back home!

Must see spots: 

• St. Ives 
• Exeter 
• Land's End
• Dartmoor National Park
• Clovelly 
• Cape Cornwall
• Lower and Upper Slaughter 
• Lynmouth
• Gower Peninsula 
• The Minack Theatre (Cornwall)

Dublin‘s fair city...

...where the Girls are so pretty *sing,sing*

Finally, we are back travelling! Destination: Ireland! First Stop: Dublin! It’s just for a week though, but other trips are planned soon and we are soooo happy to get out a bit of South Tyrol.

 So at the beginning we wanna update you what happened with us after we came back from Australia in August 2012! Actually: not much. Manu found a job in a Marketing Agency (Brandnamics, Brixen, South Tyrol) and I found a job in Marketing (Red Rooster, Bolzano, South Tyrol).... End of the story J.

After getting our life’s sorted back home we said it’s definitely time to go back travelling, at least for a bit otherwise we will get crazy here J Thinking of the perfect first destination there was of course just one option:  Ireland!

Manu has already been there in 2009 and she loved it! I can remember how annoying she was after she came back from this trip, singing all the Irish Pup Songs and talking non stop about how hot Irish guys are J.  So, after working for 6 month in an Irish Pub and after I met so many Irish I was really curios to get there!

We flew on April 25th from Milan to Dublin, and arrived there at around midnight! It was freezing cold in Ireland compared to Italy, where we had 25 degrees when we left. But the taxi driver explained us immediately we should stop complaining because 8 degrees are pretty good for Dublin J.  I fell in love from the very first moment with Dublin and Manu was anyways already over the moon!  Due to the fact that we arrived very late that day we just went straight to bed.

We started the next morning, of course, with an Irish breakfast! Oh my god, how we missed this awesome food!! I don’t know why everyone always complains about the food up here, we think it’s amazing (and we are from Italy so we have to know it =))! After brekky we went to different sightseeing places: Stephens Green, St. Patrick’s Church, Christchurch, Grafton Street and last but not least: Jameson Distillery! Was really cool there, very interesting, we learned heaps! Especially that Jameson doesn’t taste that disgusting when you drink it with Ginger Ale and Lime J. We met as well some very funny Guys from Switzerland at the Distillery, all teachers at the „Waldorfschule“. For everyone who has no idea what „Waldorfschule“ is: An alternative school where teachers don’t really teach their kids proper math and grammar, furthermore they get taught how to clap and dance their names (no joke) J.

We had some drinks with them and a great laugh, thanx guys! And we all know: You would have had no chance in getting the job (Insider: we saw that Temple Bar was looking for stuff so we made a challenge out of it who is getting the job, the Swiss guys or us J)

After a long day running through the city like crazy we went home to get dressed for the evening: Irish Pub time!! Before we finally could leave the hostel we got some lessons in the Alexander Technique (weird thing about how to get rid of back pain or every other pain just by laying down on the floor every day for 20 minutes in a certain way). At around 11 we finally arrived at Temple Bar! It was absolutely packed, but awesome! We went to some other pubs as well and in one of them was a great band playing! We spent basically all night in front of the band annoying them to play all the songs we wanted to hear (and Manu knows heaps J).

We got home at 6 in the morning, a great night I would say!!

After a good rest the Guinness Storehouse was on the plan that day! One of the Must-Do’s in Dublin! Was very cool, not as cool as I thought but cool J!

I know, there would be many more things to see in Dublin but we found that we‘ve already seen let’s say the basics and so we went after the Storehouse at 2am straight to the Pub! Drinking Kopperberg and Captain Morgan Orange, listening to great music and having loads of fun.

Later that day we just went home to get changed and than off to the pub again! We saw some Irish Dancing, where listening to a band which members where around 15 and played the absolutely best covers of all our favourite songs, met some Canadians who actually thought Manu is from the States (Americans are soooo stupid =) and had some glasses of Jameson – Ginger Ale – Lime.

We had an amazing time in Dublin! But we were really looking forward to our road trip! Next destination: Carlingford!!

Wisdom of the day:

If you go on a road trip with Manu in Ireland be aware of the fact that she knows a song about every fucking shithole... and that she will sing this song to you over and over again till you get into a new town where she starts singing an other song! Never-ending story, unless you drive off the cliffs somewhere J!

10 things to do in Dublin:

1. Pour your own Guinness in the Guinness Storehouse
2. Relax at St. Stephens Green
3. Go nuts in one of the many Pup‘s in Temple Bar
4. Buy a CD from a Band which is basking in town – you’ll never know if they get famous one day
5. Take a picture with Molly Malone
6. Buy the movie „Once“
7. Visit the Dublin Castle
8. Go shopping in Grafton Street
9. Warm up with some Irish Stew at the Porterhouse
10. Stroll around Trinity College

A backpacker’s tale: About the agony of being home again

Hey folks,

Zippi in Siena

originally our first blog entry was supposed to be about our latest backpacking experience in Ireland. However, I figured there is something more important I would like to write about before talking about the joys of backpacking again.
I call it the agony of being home again. For those of you who have been traveling for a while and had to go back home you probably know what I’m referring to. For those of you who are still traveling this may not be any of your concern yet. However, I do emphasize the YET.

After traveling/ living/ working in Australia for a year it has been quite a challenge coming back home again. Both of us found it really difficult to get used to the life back home. While traveling, every day is just full of surprises, most of the times you don’t know where you are going next and more importantly you don’t know what to expect. You basically live for the moment and that’s what makes everything so exciting. Every day you meet new people, make friends from all over the world and literally every day has the potential of being the best day of your life.

That’s why it was really hard for us to get used to the routine back home. Of course we missed our family and friends and were happy to see them again, but after a couple of days both of us just wanted to go back to Australia and to keep on traveling again.

The problem we both encountered was the fact that we couldn’t enjoy ourselves anymore. No matter what we did or who we were with it was just simply not as much fun as in Australia and New Zealand. We were constantly listening to songs that reminded us of the time in OZ and NZ, recalled stories over and over again and just didn’t want to let go. The good thing was that we were three friends traveling together so being back home at least we can talk to each other as all of us understand what the other person is going through.
Monika and I had different ways of dealing with the new situation. Monika used every single occasion to leave the country again. While on the way to a job interview in Munich she just decided to hop on the next train to Paris. She also went to Siena, Salerno and Florence. I tried to distract myself by focusing on my new job. Not even a month after being back home I started the job which has left me with no time to process the fact of being back again.

Zippi in Paris

While just recently meeting up with a friend in Ireland we met in New Zealand in September 2011 he raised the following question: “Guys, how have you been dealing with being home again?” Before I could even answer his question he mentioned that he felt quite depressed after coming back. Basically he was going through the same things as we did. So that’s when I started asking myself: Was it a depression I was going through? Is that possible?

I don’t have an answer but all I know is that 9 months after we left Australia we still talk about it as it was yesterday. We recall memories, look at the same pictures and listen to the same songs over and over again. And slowly but surely I’m wondering if this will ever change? What if this was the time of our lives and nothing will ever compare to this?
I remember a person from my village I talked to just before I was on the way to Australia. Twenty years ago he has been traveling himself and he still referred to it as the best time of his life. Another friend from work has been traveling in Australia five years ago and after work we constantly meet up to look at old pictures or just to talk about things that happened to us while we were over there.

Zippi in Salerno

Well, after being “depressed” for months I guess
we just realized that instead of being sad and miserable it is about time to cherish what we had and look forward instead of looking back. One day we’ll probably be back in OZ or NZ and by then we just decided to enjoy the time we’ve got at home – even if it means using every single occasion to get out of the country and keep on traveling and even though it is just for a week. :)

Counting the days. . .

hey folks

It’s been ages that we updated our blog. So here we go!! It happened so much in the last months, but we will shorten it a bit. And to be honest i have no idea where to begin with aaaaall the stories!!

First of all: just the 2 of us, manu and me, are left at this stage in Australia. Max went home in March and Daniel went home about a month ago and surprised his family and friends completely cuz no one expected him. We changed as well our accommodation a couple of times. after we got kicked out of the ymca (loooong story, even we are not sure so far why.... one reason could be parties, swimming in the night, consume of alcohol in the venue, ...) manu, daniel, gully and me moved to the youth shack and brad left Darwin and moved to the outback. manu and me got really soon sick of youth shack though, but luckily we found a reeeeally nice apartment in knuckey street. Daniel decided to stay in youth shack and gully found a house in marrara.

To the job situation: daniel became a really successful manager at red rooster and he was Max’s Boss. Btw, Daniel got a promotion after the second day... and if we consider the fact that his boss was gay... mmmhh... everyone can imagine what that means =)) Anyways, after Daniel left the store had to close down and everyone lost their jobs (only joking =)).

Manu found a second job as a travel agent for peter pans for a couple of months, but kept on working in Shags. I started a second job in the coffee club. We had some really stessful days with 16,17,18 and more hours a day, but we just wanted to earn as much money as possible. But the problem with more money is, that u have as well more money to spent. That’s the reason why we got regular customers at the shopping centre in casurina. The both of us had already to buy a suitcase cuz we had no chance to fit everything in our backpacks.

so, what else happened in darwin.... we met tom green, we got a call from the police to help them to solve a murder, we went to the V8, we spent a great day in Lichtfield National Park, we had campfires, were drinking beer at the mindl markets while watching the sunset, we followed the euros and cheered like crazy for Italy, we celebrated all the Aussie festivals, worked on the Icecube concert, had some amazing picknicks, saw heeeaps of crocs, spent hours at the waterfront, got spoiled with self-made Brekky/Lunch/Dinner, worked for the parliament house and met the first lady of the NT, saw “My week with Marilyn” in the Deckchair Cinema, met 2 rugby teams with the hottest players u just can think of, we were singing Karaoke (what’s my age again - blink), annoyed kangaroos and tigers, were drinking like crazy, worked on St. Paddys day in an Irish Pub (was not really nice, but manu and me had some drinks first... so we were hangover at midnight =)) and of course: we met the most incredible and nicest people ever. I think we really found some friends for life! Thanks guys 4 everything, 4 every single shot (even if we could have killed u the next day =)), every hug, all the fun we had together and the amazing friendship!!

Hope to see everyone of u again and don’t forget: New Years Eve 2011/12 in Dublin!!

At the moment manu and me r sitting in the plane on the way to bali, it’s our last little holiday before we take the flights from Darwin to Sydney/Melbourne and then back home to Italy. We r really sad, can’t imagine to leave everything behind here, all the friends, the good life we had...

But life goes on, and we'll see what the future brings. Hope we have some amazing days in Bali and can enjoy the last days overseas! And as it says already in one of our favourite songs: every new beginning comes from some others beginnings end...
