Good past revisited

I am in Strasbourg for another EP craze or in other words session... Long hours of work, socialisation, recapitualtion, regeneration and here it goes again... Usualy I stay at a friend (big thanks Albina) this time is different. I decided to stay at the European Youth Centre... was quite funny to get a room 311 which is right in front of our former office with Miros, where I can still see a poster of Trakai hanging, as if we have never left this house... Great memories, many of the same people... Good old, filthy, un-conditioned cyber centre... There is another feeling while being here... I think it is a feeling of personal path evolving as the time goes by...

My first time in the Youth centre was in 1999 - eight years ago - still the high school student celebrating the 50th anniversary of COE and first time visiting Strasbourg... beautiful memories... there was a romantic touch to that, which left a great impression of the city and moments in there... The Youth Centre and its staff seemed such a high level secret society, where as I felt as a tourist, therefore discussions where passing by and most important moments were taking pictures and enjoying the Lithuanian company (interculturality was yet to be discovered)...

Another memory of this place relates to the Youth Forum and a meeting of AC or COEACOM do not exactly remember, but we then discussed for the first time relaunch of the campaign... some years after it is kind of funny to see the slogan and new topics of the campaign all over the house...

We evolve, but places like this can give you a feel of where you are and where you have been...
