The life of an astronomer (or, rather, of an astronomer-wanna-be) may well be miles away from the excitement, adrenaline and glamour of many other "occupations" in the modern world, but it does not go without a remarkable hint of adventure. Particularly if you are "into" the observational side of things (meaning if you actually care about the "real Universe", instead of studying well-behaved, human-created [fake] universes), your chances of "adventurous episodes" rise significantly, mostly because you might well get the chance to travel to remote places, meet hundreds of different people, and get to know so many different countries, cultures and languages.
So this fresh, newly-created blog is a simple result of a significant piling of out-of-the-ordinary life episodes in the last couple of years; they probably deserve to be written in some form, at least so that I can guarantee that I won't forget the details and come up with a totally different story when I think of them in 10 or 20 years. These episodes will include absolute box-office-hits such as "The sudden Scot move", "The Airfrance-Mercure-Paris-bugs-everywhere adventures", "Emergency landings", "Cooking with whatever there is", "The hawaiian adventures" and "How to go from Portugal to spain with no gas".
Of course, due to the (apparent) rebellious(ish) nature of the "writer", this blog will also include very odd ideas and thoughts about life, science, astronomy and many other areas, including great (or not-so-great) life tips!
So stay tuned (if you ever get tuned!), and let's start this!
