I always liked travelling, born in a small island Just a few hundred square kilometers, any excuse is great for some change.I have been to London for a workshop a while ago. While I have been to London before, i was never alone, but this time it was different and besides the great work mates I met I was alone in a big city.. feels a bit like those old-ish 80s movies.
There is a beauty in the amazing diversity and richness of different cultures coming together and meeting in a plex like London but then again there is a lot of contrast and I think the edges blur slowly.
At some point during travelling when everything is so different, things start passing by with a general sense of indistiction. This feeling sometimes is like a drug, a hallucinogenic.
Travelling is more than just going from A to B ...
People, faces, buildings, trains, stations, planes airports they are all moving their ways as fast as they can whizzing by, this turns me into a very introspective mood. I get to feel belittled and awestruck at the sheer sizes of these places and I get somehow more close to the world and it’s a bit like more in perspective of where I truly AM.

New trends in robotics can convey complex behavior and expressions. The following is in Japanese but you will get the gist.
Machines will have feelings one day not to far
Once the mental image imitates to a degree the human one and it is reflected on the face of a machine we will have a moral reflection , empathy will kick in and we shall start thinking twice before hitting the reset button.
