when i got off the train tonight i noticed there was a full moon. i have noticed the full moon each month since september. it never really happened before that. tonight when i saw it, i thought: three months ago i was in khiva. that's what i thought last time too. only then it was two. i wonder for how many months this count will continue.
it seems like a lot longer. that night in khiva i wandered the streets in short pants with a desert wind blowing on my face. tonight, i was crunching over snow with my briefcase in my hand. it's like a different planet.
