This one looks like an improvised bed.
If you go couchsurfing again you have a place in Maastricht.

Gibraltar

Gibraltar is told to be a bizar place. It's the part of Europe which is located the closest to Africa. The sea is very dangerous and feared by sailors because it is where the Atlántico and the Mediterráneo flow together. Many arabian fugitives drown there because they try to reach Spain in rudimentary boats, commonly called "pateras". It's common news in the spanish press. A couple off Gibraltar's streets are still under English domain I believe. A minuscule "off-shore" Britain. You can suddenly pay in pounds and fall under the English laws in the middle of the Península Ibérica.

bizar = bizarre

Arnon

For somewhat reasons, John Lennon and Yoko Ono got married in Gibraltar (she still is a New York civilian). Near the great white rock. It's in the song "the ballad of John and Yoko."

If you ever found you're Yoko, could you imagine marrying her in Gibraltar?

Your lecture

Thanks for a very interesting evening in Ghent. Hoe het door merg en been ging. I hope you'll enjoy KH.

arnon

I like the wall.
I love the wall.
can you cet a room with such a wall?

cet-get

but the statement stays the same.

To Arnon

You made a less courteous impression on me then before. Could it be that you were jetlagged?

I suspect that I rued the questions as much you did. Although I am aware that could be some sort of vanity as well.

Rectification

Jet lagged seems to be the correct spelling. I apologise

Rectification

I should have written "than before".

Once more: English is not my mother tongue.

@Pjotr
If you allow me, what question(s) did you ask?
(yes, I thought a bit about jet lag too – some fatigue)

To Bernard

None. Although that I wanted to ask why he was so reluctant to consider himself a moralist.

@Pjotr
I think he answered to that question in the dialog after the lecture. (for this reason, moral judgment, next to horror, was considered man’s most terrible enemy by colonel Kurtz, in often referred movie Apocalypse Now).

My question was a reaction to the moment you are referring to.
I believe Hertmans brought the relation between morality and writing to which Arnon answered with more ambivalence than I expected.

Does this answer satisfy you, Bernard?

@Pjotr
If I remember correctly, Arnon said that our moral judgment depends largely on which side we identify with – but this is not the same as an absolute moral relativism. This ambiguity is fine for me, it is a delicate subject. (I think the concept of the Final Judgment is an excellent metaphor for how morality works – in the other we judge our self)
