About the time in Mokdong deportation center I'll write a detailed report tomorrow or after tomorrow. Now since Saturday I'm in Berlin. The evening before I arrived in Frankfurt (it was f... cold - I arrived there just dressed with a t-shirt) and there on the airport I had to spend the night. On the next day (Sunday) I took the train (because the lack of money I had to use a very slow connection) and after about 8 hours I arrived in Berlin. Here at first I had to find some of my friends, to find a possibility to sleep in the following night. Because I had just 5 Euro (about 5.500 Won) left, the following hours I just was walking (a subway ticket here is about 2.500 Won). Ha, after 5 weeks without any possibility to move around - in Mokdong we were "living" like "sardines in cans" - it was not funny, not really (even today still my muscles are paining (uhoo, cry, cry...). Because I had not even one telephone number I was running around without any success - no one was at home... Finally, after five hours and a 10 KM walk I found friend who were at home. Here since that time I spend the nights. On Monday I had to do the first steps to begin my new life in exile: at first I had to get a new I.D. card and other stuff like that. In the afternoon I visited other friends and I had to hear their laments about the self-destruction of the political movement in Germany, and it seems realy deplorable (about that soon some more detailed...). And now I'm sitting in one of Berlin's main universities and struggle with the computer system (here is the only place to use Internet for free, but even here the machines are very slow and the mouse seems to be 20 years old, it is not possible to upload pictures - y'day I made some, but I don't know what to do with this stuff now...). The next steps for me are to find a flat for me and a kind of work (here are about 14% of the population unemployed!). After tomorrow I will meet friends in the night and perhaps they can help me to find something. As I wrote before I start here on the point cero - everything what actually you need to create your daily life I lost in the last years, or other stuff is still somewhere in Seoul. But fortunately one friend of mine kept a video camera for me, so soon I can start to continue to work... Intersting things I found out in the morning on Frankfurt Airport: the majority of the "ordinary" workers there are migrant workers. Here in Berlin, sometimes in the subway the "Germans" are in the minority (later I will try to make some regularly reports about the living conditions of migrants here). Sorry, that this first article is more personal, but to write about political "developments" here I just must realy arrive... mi-anh hae-yo... Because on that comuter it is not possible to save files (f... OLD Europe!!) and I'm worrying that the computer just went off, I'll finish now. LATER MORE.
