I had a second interview with M** last Friday night.
Svanholm was founded in 1978 and he came here in 1979. So he know many things about this community from the beginning. Moreover, he is a very kind person and I'm on intimate terms with him.
At the first time, I started recording the interview with my MP3. At first, I didn't want to miss his story because my English was not enough to understand his telling. But, not only for my understanding, it would be precious data.
After finishing the interview, I was satisfied with. He told about this community honestely.
And I had the first data!!!
However!!!
When I checked the file, there was no file. I didn't save the file!
It was the first time to use a voice recorder with my MP3. I felt sore! I lost the precious data!
On Saturday, I went to Copenhagen to buy a new camera and a new voice recorder.
I bought the cheapest camera which was made in South Korea(actuallly made in China, I guess...:)) but it was not cheap(899DKK). I was eager for a video camera. I really want to film many communities where I'll visit. Yet I don't have much money. Of course, I can buy a video camera now but I should save money to travle for one year more. I gave up a video camera in agony.
Voice recorders were very expensive. Over 1000DKK....I want to buy good one. I'm planing to collect many stories of people living in different communities. I'm still looking for a good voice recorder.
Anyway, when I returned to my place, I took a wrong bus and it was already dark. I walked and walked more than one hour in the dark. But I had a same experience! There were some lights and cars unlike the Hoge Veluwe in Holland. There were a lot of wind, a little bit rain, and strange sound which many big trees made by wind. I was exhausted and I slept all day on Sunday.
However..
I could learn how to enjoy walking in the dark. I couldn't experience this kind of darkness in South Korea. I was grown up in big city. Everywhere, everytime is light and noisy.
So it could be a special experience...
