I published the above poem on my blog, and also added another poem I wrote (in
Swedish). That's been the bulk of my writing in other languages. Speaking has mostly
concerning Russian this week and Chinese (obviously).
Speaking of China, I will be going to China in February and stay there for almost six
months. This is going to be bloody awesome and I will love it. I hope to be able to
visit one or two countries extra during that time (which ones remain to be seen) but
we will see how that all works out later.
So yes, Mandarin is seriously going to be important for me in the latter part of 2014
and throughout 2015.
Other than that, I am working slowly and steadily on improving my Russian, and this
seems to be working. Furthermore I have been reading lots of German lately, which is
really good - not that I find German hard to read or anything but I have little
contact with it which makes it good to return to it every once in a while. Once that
is done I will return to reading other things - I still have Swedish, Russian and
Romanian stuff to finish so I should be fine.

Ich bin vergessen, euch der Link zu schicken nach mein letzten Blog:
Ich kann dichten!
Vielleicht sollte ich dort auch etwas auf Deutsch schreiben. Aber Zwang gefällt mir nicht
so.

Mais on a écrit en français. Autant d'articles en langues étrangères, et aucun en
français - c'est moche.
Alors j'ai rectifié cette manque!

Success on the road today - during work I was walking by a house and heard a woman
speaking a foreign language to her children (I wasn't paying attention to what exactly)
but it sounded like Russian so I checked my letters and the name on it was Russian. She
asked if she could take my letters (and I heard the accent) so I simply answered in
Russian.
She proceeded to ask me "Have you been here long?"
Ka-ching.

It took a bit of convincing to get her to understand that yes, I am Dutch...she kept
asking if I really wasn't Dutch and if my parents were actually Dutch... apparently the
news that your friendly neighbourhood postman ALSO speaks fluent Russian is a bit hard to
process.
Or well, what passes for fluent Russian round these parts. But I think I can get away
with saying that nowadays.
Watch me make 50 unnecessary mistakes in the next Russian thing I write.

It is a universal law that after such a claim mistakes follow naturally :-)
