Individuals

Why have I chosen this topic to write about, well this good old Earth on which we live is full of individuals or would you prefer people. Every country in the world is full of different people all with their own individual language, colour and religion, it's a difficult consept to understand how we are all so different. Did God want the Earth to be like this or did we just evolve over centuries to the stage we're at now. We've got good and bad, honest and dishonest and people who are just plain evil,would it be better if we were all the same I myself don't think so. We all go on holidays to a different country at least once in our lives, maybe for the climate, food, language or just because we want to experience a different culture for ourselves and to see in real life how they live,I've been all over and never cease to be amazed how different we all are, but as long as you've got a phrase book you'll get along just fine no matter what country you visit, most places we visit the people who live in those countries are mainly very hospitable to visitors as of course it's a way of making a living and they learn a little about us which maybe will be beneficial to them in the future as more and more people visit their country mainly because word of mouth, talking to our friends about how great our holiday was,so the next time we go on holiday we chose the same place or a different country, that's what makes us individual, the search for knowledge like history, recipes, religion and basically something which is a change from our lives in what ever country we're from. It doesn't matter if they are different from us in colour, they are still individuals and we have to appreciate and respect that after all we are just passing through after a couple of weeks in that country. When I've been to different countries I don't try to find a place that serves the food that I'm used to or speak the same language that I do I always try to act like a local and not a tourist,to get a real picture of how those people live and survive and make themselves individuals. They are exactly the same as us apart from the obvious and that’s why we visit these countries to see what makes them different and I for one wouldn't have it any other way. Individuality is special and should never change, what would the world be like if we all spoke the same language, ate the same food, had the same religion and history then really we therefore wouldn't be individual we would all be the same and that would be boring. Tell me what you think if you know how to comment as I would love to hear from you and of course share if you enjoyed reading my blog write about something else tomorrow. Thank you.

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
