Good evening everyone. Or maybe morning... Or maybe someone decided to spend a few minutes during the day and wandered in here)

Sit back comfortably and move your right/left? hand away from your face).

Straighten up and stretch. Are you really-really comfortable? Me too =) Well then I'll continue.

So, first the most important thing... I'm very glad to see you. Why? Because if you're reading this - it means you're interested. If you're interested - I simply must be grateful.

And further... Next, I'll reveal a little secret to you. No, not about aliens. And not even about robots of the future. Brrrrr. It's so uncomfortable and somehow unsettling... The secret will be closer to the end, so that you read what comes before the secret, otherwise all secrets told before they're supposed to be told aren't secrets at all..=)

It all started when I decided to take part in a contest. "IEC - 2029".

I made up my mind, but my thoughts wouldn't line up into a long and logical chain for a long time, and I didn't feel like just improvising on the fly like in school.

I read other blogs. I liked them. And everyone writes so interestingly. And so futuristic... Ah, I thought, and decided it was already late, after all it's midnight, I wrote half a page of an introduction and went to bed. Morning is wiser than the evening...

Alarm clock... I really don't want to get uuuup.. Five more minutes... Well at least four...

I open my eyes, and everything around looks somehow new...

Hmm.

• ¡por fin!
• Switzerland?
• Faire sa malle?
• Luggage? Where is my luggage?

A hum of voices merges into one and echoes back.

I don't understand anything.

The phrase appears before my eyes "Work and Travel. "Gather a group of 5 friends and any country of your choice!""

A girl runs up to me, slightly out of breath, but she smiles... She smiles! (And how do they have the patience for everyone? To answer five hundred thirty-eight questions every day...)

Office. They invite me in... (I love coming to their office. If everyone were this genuinely kind, grumpy salespeople would disappear, because they'd be ashamed of their grumpiness, and it would be nicer for me to buy bread.)

-Where are we going today? We have new...

Just a second! What tours? Where are we going? And what about the visa, the consulate?

Choose first?

Um.. Well, let's take a look...

Taaak...."235 countries, color in the white spots in the geography of life"

Interesting... Can you book? How?? A reservation six months in advance?? And you calculate everything for me and with discounts? Wow....

Aaa, can I go to Japan? Seriously can I? But how to communicate... I don't know Japanese at all(((.

You can also go to New Zealand? No way... And to? Where-where?? To Antarctica to the icebergs???

Can I, for example, go where the Maya lived? Um.. and to Bermuda? And to Tokelau and to Fiji? I can't believe it...

And I remember back in 2010 I was sitting the same, choosing a state in America.. And it seemed like everyone mostly went there..

Okay. I got distracted. I somehow can't decide what to choose... I don't know so many languages, how am I supposed to go?

New translator programs? They react on their own, and then even explain everything?

O.o How many languages will I learn then.. I don't need that many..

Well yes, I agree... Although... Payment worries me..... Nooo.. It's probably expensive... I can't afford it at all. Really-really can you choose how much to pay and the repayment period? Somehow unreal...

And what's that bonus? Oh no.. I don't want to be in someone else's dreams. I'm kind of scared... Do you explain safety rules and trainings? Still somehow - I haven't decided yet...

But what if they don't give me a visa? Now they give them to everyone starting this year? To everyone-everyone? Ah, well I haven't broken the rules and I'm not involved in criminal circles. A couple of documents? Okay, I'll bring a statement from the dean's office that I promise to return). Oh come on, no matter what you say, home is still better.

Thank you, can I drop by tomorrow?

Look at other agencies? Nooo. No way!!! I will never trade my IEC for any treats. I somehow feel very good here... So tell them all that I don't want to go to them. No, no, and no! They didn't even come close... And here's another question I have... You kno.. well post..

...Well. Why does the alarm always ring at the most interesting moment?((

If only we could have something like this IEC in 2029 somewhere... Like a dream from the future... A very interesting dream... I mean, it's probably as perfect as it can be, I thought, and, with a whoosh, I jumped up and ran to take the exam.

As you know, everything ends. Even soy sauce.

And so my essay ends here.

Thank you for your attention and displayed patience.

Oh, I promised a secret, just whispered to you and no one else, okay? otherwise it won't work: let's gather in 2029 in the same place and at the same time... and sing "Happy Birthday to you.... dear IEC and many happy returns of the day..." Well and so on and so forth, you can bring your balloons to give to everyone... I'll bring the cake!

But to nooooo one! Shhh... It's a surprise!!!..
