| | | When I found a sticker that had been left by an explorer years prior, posted the sticker here, and received confirmation from the person who had left it, that was an almost magical moment for me. It was almost like an omen, verification that I was on the right trail by participating in this hobby. I also once found an old financial record that had been used by (and contained the handwriting of) a man who had been murdered in that location decades earlier. Standing there photographing that book with his writing in it, in the site of his murder, with the partially-collapsed ceiling looming overhead gave me one of the spookiest feelings I have had in years. I have since spent a fair amount of time learning about this man and his fight for social justice, a cause that he and a colleague gave their lives for. I consider them to be local heroes, and it is sad that more people in the area don't know about their sacrifice. Because I am still hoping to make something happen in regards to the financial book, I cannot provide any of the specifics right now, but once the situation is fully resolved one way or another, I plan to write about it.

| | | *always have an excuse to travel to different countries. I would have probably zero interest to travel if i wouldnt find out there are so much to explore abroad, too. Vacation plans, yeah, these are sorted, too. *working in a place where are people who has "an itch" for urban exploring, too. *it's incredibly easy to sort out romantic relationships - if i meet a guy who is less adventurous than me and does nothing related with UE, than he cannot be a partner. So simple! *students finds me as an subject of their ue-related thesis. *making promises for myself and it works when it's related of UE. Of course, there are some other things that moves me to live (books,friends,family) but UE is the most "pushing" one. God, i'm soooo lazy and not motivated! *learning new languages! That, yeah, that magical moment when you find out an interesting photography with explanation that you're not able to understand so you open a dictionary and try to understand meaning...ha! Magic! And then you add lithuanian and russian explorers on Facebook so you really can learn basic phrases. *not being concerned about stereotipically feminine appearance. When i was 14 / 15 , i weared high-heel shoes day-to-day. Then i discovered it's not comfy for exploring and walking in general. So fuck that. Only when there are special occasions such torture is appreciated. *I can remember better specific childhood memories when i see real sticker of Spice girls chewing gum, floppy disks, ice-cream package and so on. there are a lot more things! etc etc etc
