Defeated by Beiruts nightclubs

bjoern — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:06:42 +0000

Today we wanted to have a dancing evening and expirience the magnificient nightlife of Beirut with all the cool and modern nightclubs, beautiful girls and great music. We have heard a lot but after engaging two taxi-drivers and visited six nightclubs we had realised, that we were defeated. Two clubs were closed, one was occupied by the Lebon army and the other three we couldnt enter… cause we were only two boys… this lack of girls brought us home after two great hours through whole Beirut with its police-stops and army check-points. We learnd, that we should invest more in contacts with local girls. :)

Mega-crazy Beirut

bjoern — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 20:24:47 +0000

As we arrived in Beirut rainy weather was hidding the town, but finally we saw the great city on the beach and before the mountains and were happy to get here finally. We drove in town with a huge American black Chevy and soon our lifes got more crazy, as we walked through a camp of Hizbollah-miliz and 300meters later we saw the Christian miliz head-quarter of Beirut and our hotel is just 500meters away from both.

But it went on crazy, as we visited the totally newly build city-center with tanks and army-guards all-over and dead streets but a huge VIP party on the roof of a hotel, where you got only entrance with guestlist and no care appeared under BMW… Porsche Cayenne, Ferrari, BMW V and bigger, Mercedes all categories… but we listened this music from our hotel-roof until five oÂ´clock a.m. and five minutes ago we saw how whole Beirut celebrated the arrival of their troops from a battle in a refugee-camp in Northern Libanon… dozen tanks and army cars were cheered and music boosted… crazy town but we enjoy this mixture and relaxed today at the great beach with riffs and perfect sun and will soon start to search for the clubs here.

Without beard in middle of Turkey

bjoern — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 18:26:11 +0000

After exploring the magnificient beach of Olympos and the funny mountains of Göreme we are finally approaching the end of our trip in Turkey and are on the way to Syria with the famous night-buses. I decided that short hairs on my head suites well to no beard and after two years I asked a turkish “barber” to cut theses hairs – now I feel five years younger…

List of lost stuff #1.0

bjoern — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 21:43:40 +0000

After more then two weeks on our trip to Middle East through Easter Europe and Turkey we evaluated today our missing stuff and have to report some tragedies – surpringly Jona is leading this field of competition but I believe, that next weeks I manage to get closer to him, there were already too many people helping me to lead.

list of lost stuff #1.0
1. mobile-phone Nokia N70 with 400 contacts (BjÃ¶rn, stolen in night-train Bukarest-Chisinau)
2. cover of Nikon D50 (Jona, lost in Sofia)
3. swimming-shorts Nike (BjÃ¶rn, lost in Istanbul)
4. digital camera Nikon D50 (Jona, stolen in night-bus from Istanbul to Pamukkale)
5. tooth-paste “Ajona” (BjÃ¶rn, lost in Pamukkale)
…

But after all we had a great day in Pamukkale with this great white mountain in middle of this town, that is based on lime and water and was discovered by Romans, that made great bath out of it and build amphi-theatre. We enjoyed ourselves.

homework finished… :)

After two days of sitting in different coffee bars and enjoying wifi-internet in Bukarest, Sofia and Istanbul I finally finished my homework for university in 24 pages about the Dafur-conflict and the involvement of African Union and European Union. Great feeling to be free now for next four weeks from work and university and enjoy the Middle East. :)

Magnificient old but fancy – Istanbul

bjoern — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:05:10 +0000

Stopping in Thessaloniki and searching there for bathing was our idea but we really wanted to make it to the “secret hint” we got, so we drove more then one-and-a-half hours through Greece and were not sure, if we ever come back to the town we started. But it was worth to go there, even if German tourists were already there. :)

After this short Greek adventure we went to Istanbul with the night-train, that is not known to German railway system bahn.de – but there is one and so we went to this acient town and ignored this town first day totally by going to the Prince-islands in the Marmara-mare and enjoyed the beach there. In the evening we managed to go to Haman with some Airbus-managers, that actually trained rugby to Turkish kids these days… and were overwhelmed afterwards, felt almost drunken so relaxed we were… maybe the picture introduce this a bit. Next day we managed to see big parts of the town, but the most amazing picture was to awake with the Hagia Sofia in the eyes… only few hundred meters away, as you see attached. Istanbul is an amazing city with ancient history, great tradition but lively and fancy bars, neigbourhood and people. Very much worth to see and enjoy – for more than one day!

Sofia – was great surprise

bjoern — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 09:19:29 +0000

After taking the cool night-train from Chisinau back to Bukarest we enjoyed the luxury version of the night-train from Bukarest to Sofia very, very much – it was even with working shower and great sightseeing outside, so I did not found my time to sleep but was having great fun. Now we have a Balkan Express ticket, meaning we can go to Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey next five days how we want – and we will use it. For sure!

But Sofia was amazing, I did not though it is so beautiful but the historical old buildings suiting well to the new upcoming Western buildings in the city center and as the weather was perfect we had a great day with Vera showing us around and introduced us to the best ice-cream in town before we left with next night-train (three nights now in a row) to Thessaloniki in Greece for bathing!

Working and travelling in Moldova

bjoern — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:01:22 +0000

After arriving in Chisinau we managed to got “some work” to do in Moldova and started evaluating the rural youth empowering program in Moldova by driving 12 hours each day, but it was great fun cause we evaluated girls-training seminars and saw really every little village in this country. :)

So far we did not get brown and healthy but that weÂ´ll manage in Turkey, where we are now approaching. But this adventure was great and I really loved to see good friends again. Hope I will return in this crazy country soon. BTW our haircut improved… itÂ´s now more russian style. ;)

Björn on tour in Romania

bjoern — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:55:32 +0000

Our amazing trip started day before yesterday in Bucarest with great help of friends of us, that showed us around in this great city and made us aware of “the Paris in the East”. We got also great support while renting an appartment for us in the city center and enjoying two rooms for Jona and me the whole night – magnificient view included.

After all sightseeing in Bucarest we managed the take the night-train to Chisinau, that was cool experiences cause they train was lifted at the boarder around two meters high to have the “russian rails” under it. Unfortunatly my mobile was too scared of this Moldova and so it disappeared and now I am without any numbers but with new Moldovian mobile +373 791 337 81. We will have fun next days with crazy car-drivers, accomodation at a camp in the country side and of course Moldovian hospitality.
