Desire and Rain

I can't get an image out of my mind.
It pops up in the mornings when I open my eyes, when I'm daydreaming, when I have bad moments and chaos around me...
I just so clearly see this.

Me on an early morning with a big cup of tea, wearing soft, knitted sweater, looking out the damp window, it's raining outside, but still, it's beautiful and completely calm.
Indescribable. I just now I want to be there, and that place does exist.

And it's not even something that I don't know where to find...

It's so weird, when you have that strong desire for something. And you want that with all your heart. Really. All my life I was looking for this feeling. I've tried and loved and I still love a million things in my life. I'm proud of everything I've done and what I'm doing. But there is one above everything. And it is to see this amazingly mystertios World, to write about it, to capture moments anyway, ANY WAY.
And time to time when I'm tired, I want to go home and look out that window and just listen to the rain.

Let's say when one day I calm down a tiny little bit, and I won't travel every month, (just every oher ;P)  still have that dream there about my castle hotel and wee cafe. Yeah, it's not a question they are in my mind, just as deep that they evolving to come up in the right moment!

 

I know, and I'm the one telling I'm not too romantic.. What are all these plans if not a tiny bit of romanticism?;) But who cares?!

Inspiration:P

That's quite inspiring, isn't that?!:)
I think, that's the best advices I've read lately.
And it's so useful in the period when people fucking piss me off!:P

Flatmate

Well, today was National holiday, and except coffee, burger, coffee and beer... I didn't do much. To not to be totally lazy blogger, let me introduce my monster cat. She (who is actually "him") is very adorable. Especially 50% of the day when she is sleeping. The other half enjoys having me her slave. Lovely. That's Hermione.:)

Ink and words...

I decided on wanting a typewriter, a real old one.
It's a dream of mine to write, to share my thoughts, to share experience, to talk about stories and describe places, share feelings with people about wonders I see around this World.
And although I'm so addicted to my laptops and ihphone, but I have to admit, it's not really the same kind of feeling as handwriting or using a nice old typwriter with all the histories behind. I love vintage things. Love secrets behind. Guessting who was the owner, how her/his life was like, all the moments and energies, I believe these old objects keep memories, and has an effect on our life. That's why it is so scray for me to buy something used. But I beleieve somewhere inside we know what belongs to us, and what are those things we should keep away...

It's me always telling, we should all do the things we want to. So, I should seriously buy that typewriter. Doesn't matter if people like it, or it's only one person reading my thoughts. As long as I'm fulfilling something I love, nothing else matters.

 

 

Movie mood

I was never really a big movie fan.
I don't say I don't like cold evevnings with a cup of tea and a good movies, but my philosophy is that instead of watching movies day and night, try to enjoy your own life and make it as colorful and eventful as possible.
BUT, time to time the movie fever gets me and forget about my rules... well, I don't have too strickt rules!;P

I don't think of myslef as a romantic person. But I rather say, I'm not cheesy. I don't like big cream, if you know what I mean. I don't like the kind of..."too much".
I prefer the unexpected, deep and no cliche kind of romanticism.
I'm always trying to find those movies that are close to my soul, the ones can teach me and fill me with all kind of feelings. The ones that mix me up and change my World.

Oh, and of course some chick flicks anytime...;)

 

Not to talk about my all time favorites, here are the recent top 3:


One Day

 

 

  

The Perks of Being a Wallflower


 

Blue is the Warmest Color

 

 

 

So let yourself having a hot drink... (or a glass of wine;), some warm blankets, solf pillows, and escape to the unknown with a great movie, but don't forget to wake up tomorrow and live your life to the fullest!:)



Where are those summer days?

Have you ever felt like closing your eyes for a second, and when you open them again, all the things you were looking for are gone?
I have the same feeling about summertime.
Winters are always so long and you can not wait to finally enjoy those summer days, go to the beach and swim, lie on the sun, have a picnic, barbeucue, summer night walk, endless parties, oh and ice-coffee..;)
Now I'm missing all these and feels like these moments never happened.
Although my summer was lovely with a lot of smile and laughter, and my bucket list can be truly happy!:)
Give me some time, and I'll try to blog about my nicest memories soon.

But now. Now I feel a bit of emptiness.
And it's not only about autumn. Because I love autumn, the colors, the smells, candles, hot tea, soft blankets, fireplace and long walks on a sunny afternoon after rain...
But .. I'm tired of people. Tired of big city, crowd, noise, busyness, selfishness, rush, cars and the sad faces of people.
I want to run away, far away and live on an island. And no, maybe it won't happen tomorrow, but I won't let this dream just stay a dream.

I hate when people are going on holiday, they come back, can't stop talking about how great it was, how much they enjoyed and that they could live their life there. And my only quieston is, why don't you go and live there then? Why everybody thinks that they have to stuck in a place where they aren't truly happy?
Your life is only yours and you are the only one who can decide how and where do you want to live it! I don't think anybody was born to be sad.
I don't believe we have to be fully happy all the time, every period of our life, but I know we can be satisfied and enjoy the happy moments we get.

At the end of the day, if you can think back for at least one good moment of your day, then it worth it, then it wasn't a waste of time!

What if there is only TODAY?

I have to admit, I totally neglected writing my blog.
That gives you an idea how inspired I was in Iceland and how inspired I am at home. :P
I have been doing lots of interesting stuff, concerts, picnics, friends, amusement park, visit at home and work, work, work.
So, it's not about not doing things, but I feel less creativity than when I'm on the road. 
I couldn't wait to come home and start some art projects, writing... including some blogging too.:)
But it's never too late, so one and a half months after my journey, I feel like energizing myselfs and start something with me and my creativity... if it still exists!

First thing is to reminding myslef for my bucket list!

So, here is my "official" bucket list, but it's not properly updated, there are looots of thing I have done lately which were very important for me to accomplish, but I've never put it on my list.

http://www.my50.com/profile/szandrak/

I think everyone should have a bucket list. Ok, it doesn't have to be online or puplic. It can be on a piece of paper.. The only important thing is to remind yourself not to forget all your crazy dreams. It's easy to say, one day I'll do it. One day.... when I'll have more money, more time, more friends, better job, more self-confidence, bla blabla..
But how do you know these will ever happen? What if you'll never have more money or more time?!
How do you know you can postpone these again and again?
Why do you think later on you'll still have chance to fulfill them?
What if there is no tomorrow or no next year?
If you would have only today, how would you spend your time? Would you do the same as now?
I don't want to die and be sad and disappointed that I have never realized my dreams.
Better to be crazy than to never live at all...

So, do you have your bucket list done?!

 

Ég anda

I'm back home, but honestly, I have to tell you all, I'm just so happy, because managed to make the most from my last 2 days!
I didn't give up on my dream about going to Grimsey island and crossing the Artic Circle!
It was really a special feeling and the perfect proof to believe I can make my dreams come true and if things don't turn up the way they should, I can easily go for them again... and finally, if you are patient and storng, you get where you want to and get whatever you'd love.

It wasn't a question that it worth it! Although the way there on the ferry I thought I die of being sea sick, but as you may found out, I survived!;)
It was a hard 3 hours there, 3 hours back... but the 4 hours I spent there were truly amazing.
The bird life is something incredible and the shades of green, the calmness... and simply knowing that you are at the northernmost point of Iceland.

And did that in the coolest way, without my jacket!! Managed to leave it on the ferry bus...
But I was lucky enough, on the way there a very kind Swedish women offered me her extra jacket and on the island my nice new American friends helped me out!:)
I got to know them on the ferry. That's why I find it amazing to travel alone. You are so much more opened to meet and talk to strangers. And finally these people are the ones that make the whole journey fun and memorable!

When we were back to Akureyri, we went together for a nice dinner and had my last drink before starting my way back home next day...

...but that's an other story. Continue soon...:)

Myvatn area and relaxing natural hot bath

Oh, yeeeah, I managed to do today's plan: the lake Myvatn excursion.
And we only got stuck once when the car didn't want to get going! xD
Except the Glacier Lagoon, I think this one was definitely the coolest landscape I've seen here so far.
It was exectly like being on the Moon (ok, I have never been to the Moon..;P ).

 

We stopped by also the famous waterfall Godafoss and had a wee hike on an amazing lava field.
We visited the hot spring area of Myvatn and also the Natural Thermal Bath.
Yeah, that's life! Sitting in the hot water and enjoying those landscapes in the background... Unbelievable. That's what I'd need every day after work! ;)

The tour guide was a very pretty middle age women. Not that usual sporty type tour guide. How can I say... she was more like me! haha
And I was very surprised when she came to me and asked if I saw Eurovision song contest this year. I asked why, and she told me that the Hungarian one was the best and she really liked our singer. :) How cool is it that you are in Iceland and you hear such a nice compliment.:)

I feel like writing more, but I'm getting extremly tired and sleepy..

There is a huge mess around tomorrow's Grimsey ferry and buses... I'll do my best, but I'm quite worried as I still don't have ticket and seems like no bus connctions. At least not both ways...
That's why I longerned my stay in Akureyri so I go crazy if finally I won't be able to do it.
Everything on my Icelandic must do list is done and to be completly happy before going home, I just really need to reach that island!!
I know I can be maniac... :P

No Arctic Circle today :(

So, basically, just very breefly I had a disappointing day!
I walked 45 minutes to Akureyri Airport to wait there 2 hours, to get the news that they still have no clue what time the plane can leave, because of bad weather conditions....
Just before 3PM I gave it up, because the one and only ferry leaves back from the island at 4PM. So not that there was no chance to take at least a wee walk in Grimsey, because I might still have done the trip if they at least guarantee that I catch the ferry. But no.
They refunded my money, but I still had the ferry ticket which was actually exactly the same price as the flight.
So, I had an other 45 minutes walk back to the centre and managed to get my money back at the information office. Actually they were really so nice that didn't even ask for any certification, they just simply gave me the cash! That's cool at least!

But still, I was very sad... So what else can make you happier than a huge sugary cake and a latte at my favorite cafe.

There was the pont I found out I won't give up! I longern my stay in Akureyri and go to Grimsey on Wednesday. But simply by ferry both there and back. Don't risk the flight anymore.
I had to book an extra night, but for the last day in Iceland I really need my privacy so booked it next door at the gueshouse and I'll have my own room!!
But check out and check in will be lovely as I leave very early and come back very late...

And of course with that change I risk my way back home as I'll go back to Reykjavik on the same day when my flight is. Previously I organised the way it was, to make sure, in any case I get back to the city.
Fingers crossed! I don't want to stuck here, although would be great to spend more time in Iceland... but not without money, accomodation and plans.. :P

Let's hope tomorrow's Lake Myvatn excursion won't be cancelled, otherwise I really go crazy!!!

And actually I can't understand what's going on. At first I almost couldn't take my flight from Budapest to Reykjavik. It was really just about minutes and loots of worrying.
Then they cancelled my Southern shore trip which was including a flight and managed to do the trip both ways only by bus.
But I still felt happy that I have this Grimsey flight booked and then booom. Extreme deley.
I try not to worry about my flights back home!! Hopefully that was all and from now I'll be lucky again. ;)

Bike, sun, relax, grass, Kjarnaskógur

Today we had amazingly lovely weather, at least compared that it's Iceland! :)) It was around 18°C, but I'm sure it felt even warmer on the sun.

I found out that I rent a bike, but at my hostel they told me there is no bike rental in town.
I didn't give up, so went to ask the main information centre where they told me the same. Then when I was already on the street, the girl from the office was running after me and told, they found one.
So lucky me!
I picked it up at 12 and rented for the whole day.
I went to visit the Kjarnaskógur area which is a nice, green, foresty place where you can hike, have picnic, there is a lovey play ground and camping.

I met with this friendly mini horse.:)

 

 

I found some very cool walking routes. The interesting thing that all of them was a bit different. Some of them were bright green, some of them dark and scary.

 

 

 

Then I found a huge picnic area where there was only me and after having my packed lunch I fell asleep. Soooo relaxing.

 

 

After coming back to the centre I had a latte at my favorite wee cafe. It's really a cute one, although the coffee is not really anything special.:/

Now I've just met with my lovely new roommate (one of 8 :O) and he or she, I don't know, couldn't really decide.... wasn't able to say a simple hello. Really!! Are these people just climbed down from the trees?? How is it possible that somebody just simpy unable to say hi?
So, there is really nice atmosphere in the room. Oh, and nice smell too. They don't know what it's like to go and have a shower.

The opposite of that are those girls who even took their hair straightener!!!! And as soon as they arrived they went to make their hair!!
I like to look good too, but still... it's too much!

But, if I survive tonight, I fly to Grimsey tomorrow! Can't wait!

South Shore, Glacier Lagoon, Akureyri

I have a lots of things to tell about, but so far so little time to sit down and write.
But now it changed, because I arrived up North to Akureyri and it seems like it's not the most interesting town ever. ok, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be happier if it would be bigger or busier, but somehow I have the feeling that it's too big to enjoy the nature, but too small to do anything interesting.

But at first let me tell you about yesterday when I went for that South Shore and Glacier Lagoon tour.
It was sooo so amazing. Maybe that's why I'm a bit disappointed today, because after so much beauty, you can't truly appreciate what is simply just nice.
It was so much more wonderful than I expected.
We stopped by amazing waterfalls on the way there and back, captured lovely landscapes, but the true wonder was the Jökusárlón Glacier Lagoon.
I have never seen anything like that in my whole life. I have been to many places, but this one was something totally different experienced.
When I first saw that landscape, the sea with those huge pieces of ice.... It was like a bit of heaven. We went even for a boat trip.
Maybe I'm made of stone, but tears never came to my eyes before because of happiness. I'm not that type. If I'm happy I smile, if I'm sad I cry. I never undertood those who just so easily melt of beauty and happy moments.
But it happened to me know and it was a wonderful feeling. I was so happy deeply inside. I knew that I just have to enjoy this moment and I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

I promise pics will come soon too, but my phone is on charger now and THE photos of my big Canon camera will just come later when I'll have the time to carefully pick them, cut them and resize them if needed.
But I have to tell that I have some really good ones.
I'm planning to order some huge prints of them that I can hang on my wall at home, and even a wee exhibition would be cool.

So, let's talk about today.
I've never tried carpooling before, but just for the heck of it, I put on a request on that site.
And yeah, I received 2 offers to ride me up to Akureyri.
I was a bit afraid and skeptic, athough I'm not too often thinking about danger and possibilities about bad happenings. But honestly I almost couln't sleep. I had different kind of versions in my head, like what if he will drive me to the middle of nowhere and kill me... :D
But he did not. Luckily! ;))
He is such a sweethearted old artist, born in the USA and grew up in Iceland.
But he lived also in Norway, Sweden and a lot more places. He has children in Skandinavia and one of them married to an Indian women.
Right now he came up to visit his brother who is a painter and his wife too!
He had an amazingly interesting life, he feels the same I feel about Iceland. He has such a special little World, he has a fantastic imagination and definitely a friendly personality.
Finally he invited me for dinner to meet with his brother. So hopefully tomorrow or the day after I go and meet them.
You know, this is the kind of day when I say it's absolutely true that life starts after stepping out of your comfort zone!! Keep that in mind!;)
If I listen to my scared side who told me that it would be so much safer by bus, then I never meet with that guy who will be definitely a friend forever.
We had two other girls in the car too, who actually came to the same hostel as me and they are at the same room as me... What a shame! :P
19 years old girlies who came for one night to go party and get drunk...
This is the moment when I feel I'm old and grumpy and boring! :P
But really... If you want to get drunk, find a better place than up north in the middle of nowhere. I'm here to relax and enjoy the nature and not to listen them chit-chatting all night long. Blaaaaaah.
If I ever want to go to a hostel, please remind me that I hate hostels and I hate stupid teenagers and I hate to sleep with other people in one room and I hate the atmosphere of hostels.....!! Should I continue!? :)
Couchsurfing is so much better!!!

Hopefully I'll manage to sleep at least a little. Shame I didn't bring earplugs. Not that they are healthy, especially that I have a bit of earache.

I try to find some nice walking routes tomorrow as I don't have anything booked for that day. I wanted to spend it with relaxing and enjoying the nature, but so far as I see, mountains are a bit too far to get there by walk. Will see.

Golden Circle

I'm back from my Golden Circle tour which was asolutely great!
I don't tell I haven't seen anything more beautiful while I was at the Western part, but seeing a geysir, a 6500 years old crater, Gullfoss waterfall and the Thingvellir national park... is definitely a must when you're visiting Iceland. Most of the tourists who come to Reykjavik do that trip, so they can get a taste of the country. I didn't want to miss that out of course.

Actually at first we started to pass by places I visited before when we were driving to Arnarstarpi, so I was a bit disappointed first, but later on I totally fell in love with the Geysir, so I'm glad I had that lovely sunny afternoon.

We were 6 at the group, luckily that's good, I  don't like those huge buses full of people. They were quite nice, at first it was hard to make them talk, but later on they were friendlier. Except one annoying women who thought that she is the most clever person on Earth and I went crazy about her questions to the tour guide. Every single minute she had something to tell or ask and of course she did that in a very intellectual way. :P
But the old Canadian couple was very very lovely.

The tour guide was a pretty young short haires blondie. Oh, I loved her hair! So, don't be surprised if I come home short haired! ;)

Later on, most likely from home, I'll upload looots of photos with decription. Now I don't have the time and energy to do that. I just want to give a bit of taste of my journeys.

It took us 7 hours to do the whole tour, I loved they didn't mind stopping frequently.

And here are a few interesting and/or funny things I heard today:

- If you get lost in a forest in Iceland... Just stand up! :P
- There are 90.000 horses in the country and they are those special mini types.
- When we were in Laugarvatn, the tour guide told us it's quite a busy town.
Then she told, there are 200 people living there... So you can imagine how busy it is! ;P
- For a few thousands of people they have 200 churches!! Every farm has an own church.
- Playing golf is getting popular in Iceland, it costs 10000 - 20000 ISK (~18000 - 37000 HUF) a day.
- 5 people have died in car accident this year
- There are so few crimes only, that the court has time for cases like at a divorce who gets the dog. :D
- Almost everyone in Iceland have a story about elves and trolls.
The tourist guide herself believes she experienced meeting with them when she was a teen.
- In Iceland they have 13 Santa Clauses. They are the kids of trolls.
So children here get 13 presents before Christmas, or if they were bad, they get potatoes instead.

That was all for today, time to rest as they managed to book me a trip for tomorrow instead of the one that was cancelled. So time to go SOUTH!:)

Whale watching, lobster soup, Sóley

I'm always in the move and love to feel I'm using my time in an active way.
So, yesterday afternoon sponatenously I went on a whale watching boat trip.

Although I saw a whale for a few seconds, I wasn't able to capture it, but instead I took lots of lovely photos about dolphins. One of them was super cute and was jumping out of the water, doing different tricks in the air.
I
t was really cold, I can't remember the last time I was freezing that much!! Of course there was a special jacket you could use.... but as always I felt I'm much stronger than everybdy else and I don't need any extra protection. :D
After a tea, a hot soup and an aspririn, I was feeling better! ;)

At the evening my host took me a bit around and we went to see the lighthouse nearby.
Oh, and had an amazing lobster soup at a famous little seafood restaurant.

Later on I went to see Sóley, who was absolutely amazing!! Last year I was on her concert in Budapest and I can't believe that this time I saw her in Iceland in her home country.
I could truly enjoy the moment, my heart was so full of happiness!

But after all these perfect moments... I've got a messages from the tour office where I booked my day trips and they told me the Southern shore and Glacier laggoon one will be cancelled, as I was the only one who booked it and they need at least 2 people.....
I'm so dissapoinet!!!!! I hate when something like that just ruins my plan.
I don't want to go home without visiting that area.........
Hopefully today they will find out something. I'm going to this Golden circle afternoon in an hour, and they promised they will come and talk to me during the day and do their best to find an othe tour. Fingers crossed!!
;)

End of part one

Yesterday my trip at the western part of Iceland had come to an end. It was truly hard to say bye to all those amazing places, the calmness, sound of birds, the cool little wooden house and my fantastic host, Birgir! I'm such a lucky one! Experiencing all these is something very special. Good to feel that when i start something truly from my heart, than the whole universe is here to help and bring the right people, right places and the best moments into my life! I like to feel that being brave is worth it! It definitely does! People in Iceland are so nice and helpful! Yesterday on my way back to Reykjavik I had to change bus in Borgarness and the driver was so nice that he took my big suitcase from one bus to the other. Then when I arrived I didn't have a clue how to get to the centre, it took me only a few seconds to find somebody to help. On the bus I only had big money and they were not allowed to give back change, so instead he just told me, no problem, just go without ticket! How cool is that? And the host I'm staying here just allowed me to spend all my Reykjavik days at his place! So, I can say, so far it's perfect! Now I'm in a cafe house I noticed today, they have their own coffee roaster and right now I' having a columbia cappuccino. Love to discover this kind of places!:)

Day 4 in Iceland

Still at the Western part. Actually I should be back to Reykjavik tomorrow, but I’m thinking of longern my journey with one more day. I just wanted to make sure I’ll be back to the capital for my daytrips organised from there, but on other hand I feel it’s a waste if I just spend one more whole day there instead of this amazing calm, natural area. We’ll see. I try to go with the flow. Although flow won’t take me to Reykjavik if I miss the bus what they have only once a day! :P

Today it’s extremly rainy, grey and windy. My host told me, it’s unusual and they didn’t have that bad weather in the past few weeks… So yeah, I’m lucky to experiece this! ;P

But we still decided to go on a wee road trip to Ólasvík where we couldn’t get yesterday because of the blocked mountain road. Wasn’t so much easier today, we couldn’t see anything from the fog and mist, at a certain point it was very scary to be on the top of the mountain in that strong wind and don’t see anything around us.
On the way  back we found some lovely walking paths, but both of us felt like staying in the car and maybe coming back later on if weather becomes a bit better.

Yesterday I forgot to tell about our day trip to Stykkishólmur. It was a great little town with all those wooden houses. Actully it’s a point where you can get the ferry to the island of Flatey. Previously when I was planning my trip I was hoping I might be able to visit Flatey, but I think it worth it if you can spend there at least a half day, so left it for my next visit in Iceland.

On the way there we stopped by lots of nice little villages and towns like Hellissandur, Rif, Grundarfjördur, etc. We were lucky enough to just pop in to Grundarfjördur at the right time when they had some kind of celebration and people were dressed up as vikings. Was quite cool.

Now I’m in the house and waiting for the rain to stop and still have a little hope to expeience a bit of sunshine at the evening.

Being on charger.. ;)

It’s Sunday evening. Oh, no, actually almost night, but I can’t really feel the difference.

It’s like a 24 hours day without night. Love that.
Yesterday it was still bright, warm and sunny ouside at 10 PM. We went out for a bit of walking to the harbour and a bit more further.
Amazing bird life, you can hear them so loud and that sound is so calming and relaxing.
I have been to nice places before, and saw lots of beautiful pieces of the World, but this one seems like have all of these pieces together. Sometimes I don’t even have to look around and I still see snowy hills, rocks, cliffs, sea and lake. Yesterday I experienced to see all these together. Aren’t these all you need?
I decieded I need a summer house here! Definitely! Now I only have to win ont he lottery or become a famous artist! ;)

Today was even more wonderful!
Woke up quite late which is a shame, but don’t think I missed anything, because later on we did a lot!
Started with hiking to Hellnar where we had a coffee in the cafe house I wanted to see in real so badly! It had an amazing view. You can not wish any better location to a cafe! Simply perfect! Although they have to develop the coffees a bit.. I could help them!:) Might apply for a job next year! ;))

Later on we wanted to go to a town nearby on a way thru the hill, but actually it was blokked because of the snow. But we had a walk up there and went into a cave, called ”Singing cave”. Well, I chose not to sing, I didn’t want to frighten the elves! :P

 

 

We drived back home, I grilled some lamb and prepared fried potatoes.
After being totally full of dinner and being tired of hiking, we enjoyed the jacuzzi outside. Oh yeah, I know… I try not to seem like I’m showing off, but honestly, haveing a day like that, is something perfect!

Finally we finished the day with an Icelandic movie. Quite artisty one and not a lot of actions, but definitely an interesting one. It was about old people escaping from a nursing home , go back to nature and die there. Sad, but beautiful.
So far so good. I don’t know how are my upcoming days going to turn up, definitely will be different than these nice calm days here in the middle of nowhere, but I’m optimistic and hope for the best.


The only thing I know that if you never try, you never know. If you are being afraid of everything in your whole life, things won’t start happen to you.
I don’t want to sound like a weirdo who is always talking about being positive and bla bla bla, but honestly, I just write what I think and what I experience. I’m really full of energy and positive thoughts now.
Although we were walking all day long and I almost can’t feel my feet, I still feel like finally my battery is on charger.. :)

(Just realized I started my blog with yesterday evening, but actually I didn't mention yesterday's daytrip to Stykkisólmur. Will tell about it later on.)
