I am a water lover, well i was. I was when i used to have the nice mediterranean water to swimm at, where half of the fauna is extint and the only danger is ... a big wave? Then i headed to Australia, started hearing about shark attacks, cocodriles, water tides, i started to freak out, then the water was freezing cold.

Anyways, im diverging here a bit too much. When i think of the amazon and the water in it i start to freak out by thinking of anacondas,cocodriles piranhas. But then I made a new discovery. Martin Strel, marathoon winner who is swimming down the amazon mentioned the toothpick fish as a major danger in the river. HUH? Toothpick fish, yes the TOOTHPICK fish, so let me explain.

The fish itself is one of the smallest vertebrates in the planet. It basically will enter your body through your penis and you can only get rid of it by surgery :D What goes in doesnt go out through the same way. So be carefull next time you jump into the amazon water. There havent been too many human attacks by the toothpick fish also known as candiru however the few that exists seem to have been quite ...painfull.

Here is a funny (okay, painfull) report of a Toothpick fish "attack"

I felt like urinating. I stood up, and it was then it attacked me. The candirú attacked me. […] When I saw it, I was terrified. I grabbed it quickly so it couldn't go deeper inside. I could only see the end of its tail flapping. I tried to grab it, but it slipped away from me and went in. […] I was very afraid, because the candirú bites."

this is definately damm intresting

Va benne chi vediamo pronto,Ho messo questa foto perque volio andare in spiagia...e non pagare il biglieto d aero per andera in la spiagia.... sono sicura que non e un grande problema si non pago il biglieto.

I have to say that I am very fed up of blogspot not allowing me to edit like it did before. I dont know what is wrong,but there is no way to put colour to the text, to put HTML or to preview pictures, nor to change font size. This has been going on since December and its being very frustrating. Actually got absolutely nothing to write, got an inmense confusion on what is the best thing to do during my superlong holidays from suposately 18th of may till 10th of september.... just a few things.

1.) I have to take the chance that i have now to travel, time is value :)
2.) I will not sit in the couch for longer than 2 days
3.) Id like to have some money left in my bankaccount when the months are over

unfortunately a job in australia is proving to be hard due to visa issues.... so lets hope everything starts geting cleared up within the next few weeks. In the meanwhile im geting ready to go over to Brimingham and Warwick and maybe Barcelona :D Not many news from the lowlands. Oh yes, new roomate, and a new home in Sydney right by the Opera House and botanic gardens :D New tier on the bike meaning normal biking again,new courses ... oh and of course rain,rain,rain and more Randstad Rail tests, im fed up!! And this year no gala, hurray! :)

P.S.

Its impossible to call a place home, so I keep it to the yellow arrows.
