- could i buy this pen i borrowed?
"hm .. i don't think that one, but you can have the other for free"
- oh, thank you a lot!
"you're from germany?"
- no, but i lived there once before i came here so my accent might sound
a bit like that.
"what do you write about?"
- just things, i guess.
"the things you see?"
- not really, more the things i feel. it's like, sometimes i get this
urgent need to write, you know, it's like i didn't trust my memory or
something. i don't think that's so good always, like you should trust your
own mind more.

"so you got all those notes then?"
- well, often i don't care about them that much. it's just that when i
have some thoughts running around my head and i keep thinking about it
more and more and i'll have to write it down so it's settled. it's more
like a way of forgetting things but still you don't have to get back to
your notes since after you've written them, 'cause even though you don't
think of them anymore, you have them inside you and you can happily live
with them again.
"sounds like you're dependend on writing?"
- yes, but that's not that bad since you can even make a living of it, and
it's not always like that when you can talk to people too etc. but right now i
seem to be on this mood again.
"i think i know, happens to me sometimes too.."
- but well, i guess i gottaget going, it's a nice shop you have here!
"well it's not mine but cool anyway, all these things"
- see you..

---XXX interrupt---

"sorry, can you help me?"
- yes, of course!
"i need to find this area" (shows from a map)
- well, i think we're just about here, i was walking along Keizersgract
and just
passed the church
"so..?"
- just take this street, turn right from there
"OK, thank you!"
- no problem. by the way, where are you from?
"Austria"
- oh, i'm from Finland myself
"oh, heh.."
