"Lets go............." We left my hotel and went to a japanese resturamt. Its only took us about a few minutes to get there. The resturant is called THE GREAT MOON and we went inside. As we enter, the japanese waiter walk up to us and bow at us but he was happy happy to see me.
"Good evening Shizue sama how are you?" he asked in japanese
"Doing okay so far.........." replied back in japanese
"Is this your friend?"
"Yes, her name is Stacey.........can we go to our table?"
"Sure this way.............." he led to our table and seated us like a gentleman. He gave us our menus and left.

"Maybe towards the end of my time in this world, I will write a book. I would like to reflect on all I lived through and all the people I met along the way." I reply to Lysander.
"You're a good guy. Easy to talk to, you know?"

"Thats a cool idea. The memoirs of Hope. I'd read it."
I smile.
"Thanks, that means a lot. I just try to be me, thats all I can do. I don't think I was trade away being me for anything."

I arrive in Munich since it is safer to travel there than directly to Berlin, but not by much. I silently get on a train, giving them my fake papers. I spend the rest of the ride quietly looking out the window, hoping that no one will talk to me. I pretend to sleep in order to avoid conversation. By looking at me, there is no way to know that I am not German. I can speak a little German, but not well enough to pass as a native. This is all very dangerous, but it is something I must do.

*Stacy looks at some duck on the menu. She used to love eating duck. She put her menu down and smiled at Shizue.*
"I will have the roasted duck."

We walk a while longer quietly. There are some nice gardens in the park. I stop to admire a hydrangea bush.
"I heard that the leader of Congo was assassinated the other day. It seems many leaders are suddenly becoming the targets of assassins."

I sigh.
"Yah, its all a real bummer. And, of course, the ones that get killed are the ones trying to do good things. I suppose thats the way the world works."
I hang my head.
"And thats one of the reason why change needs to happen, and fast. You See?"

"Pretty good choice..............and I will gonna have a kitsune and tanuki udon.........."
When the waiter came back, I told him, in Japanese, of what we wanted. He wrote it down on his small notepad, grab our menus and left,
"So Stacey.......do you live in Venezuela or just visiting here?"

"I still think we can retool things. What happened here and in Congo was wrong. That was unjust. But there must be a better way. You don't see Finland or Sweden supporting coups or assassinations. There is a higher road where everyone can win." I say to Lysander as we walk.

*Stacy smiled flirtingly at Shizue. He started to fall for her.*
"Do you live here?"

"That may be, but it certainly will be a bumpier ride. And, if you dont have ahuge change, there will be countries that remain behin, because they can. Then it will be an even bigger gap between poverty and the rich. Awful, thats what it is."
I sigh.
"But, all in due corse. We should really keep our heads in the here and now. We need to get Veezuela back to normal. Hey, that reminds me!"
I smile.
"I was thinking: what if we have a huge socialist conference after all this is done? Invite enveryone from comunits to democatic socialists. It would be ball. We could all talk with eachother, and of course in our own groups... have speeches. YOu know, all that stuff. It would be great!"
