"Der Tourist versucht, das Fremde und die Fremden in einer temporären Figuration zu entdecken, um sich zugleich der eigenen Identität und Authenzität zu vergewissern." (Hans-Werner Prahl)
I try a translation: "The tourist tries to discover the other and the strangers in a teporarily figuration, to assure oneself of the own identity and authenticy."

So far it did not work to discover many strangers willing to talk a lot or even staying around long enough to study those. I decided to go on an exploration to the neighbor island Kauai to search for the foreign. But I guess sitting by the fire and philosophize brought me closer to my idea of self. As well do postcards I recieve from friends. (Thanks again P. & M.) I get closer to what I am here and what I want to do in my Second Life, well actually in the Second Life. I miss people here on Oahu....they come and go, travel fastly, globalized. Maybe another category of visitors are lovers, as there is a lot to do here for couples. So I guess in Second Life as in Real life love seems to matter a lot to the residents.
Kauai Island is just a short flight or sail away from Oahu and after I tried some relaxation on Oahu first I, went over to explore the landscape.

This fourth day is a lot about view. A change in perspective enables sometimes a change in thoughts as well.
 |
| Daydreaming... | | | |

Arriving at Kauai I discovered a canyon...definetly a way to different views...
 |
| Go girl...said who? ;-) |
|
I heard birds sing and parrots scream and that made my mind wander...
 |
| Even parrots come in couples here... |
 |
| Great view after crossing the canyon |
 |
| Definetly a nice place to hang... |
 |
| ...with friends...too many empty seats, even if I enjoy being on my own often. |
 |
| Limbo dancing is more fun in a crowd as well... |
 |
| And drinking alone makes no sense at all. |
 |
| The highest point of Kauai...silence, fitting loneliness! |
 |
| On top of a lighthouse....flying bird....rotary thoughts. |
 |
| A break...from!? |
I guess I learned my lesson by now! Will sleep on it tonight.

| Goodnight, John-Boy! XOXO MissR |
