Warm welcome back in snowy Germany

After twelve months living in the tropical island Singapore it was quite a huge change arriving back in “good old Germany”. Snow covered Munich, which I landed and during the last two weeks I experienced temperature between -15 and -5 degrees each day with beautiful snow, frost patterns and many cold fingers. After some days in great Bavarian family-athmosphere I visited my home-town and my beloved Baltic Sea, Hamburg und welcomed the New Year with good friends in Cologne. Afterwards I went back to the Alpes and managed to learn the snowboarding so good, that I will come back this season to experience the blue sky, fresh air and great feeling while sliding down soon.

If everything goes right I will stay in “the greatest city of Europe: Berlin” until end of January and will leave after some preparations in March for Africa. I will keep you posted and hope to see good friends over the next weeks and invite them all for World Cup to South Africa. :) Looking back to Singapore I have to say it was an amazing year and I want to thank all friends to let me experience Asia in such a great and smooth way! I will be back!

Relaxed Holidays in Germany

After heading back to Germany I experienced three magnificient weeks of holidays in my home-country. First I had 31 hours of birthday because of time-shifts and celebrate my 30th birthday on two continents with a great party and lot of great friends in the “1a Lauschgift” in Berlin. Afterwards I was touring through Germany; starting in Hamburg, Schwerin back to Berlin and finally arriving to Munich. Here I felt that I was attending a “trainings-camp” with constant mountain-climibing and records in cross-country skiing… 35km daily… I hope to be prepared for Singapore football now. :)

After so much holidays with rain and snow I am now lucky to be back in sunny Singapore. And I am excited about the next weeks cause I have to decided on my new job over here and hope all my dreams come true. As you see attached I already like my little island so much, that I published the first article in the “Ostsee-Zeitung”:

Singapur: Mein kleines Disneyland

Sad goodbye from Botswana

After three magnificient months of work, crazy trips, amazing friends and enjoying the summer of Africa I have to went back tomorrow to cold and icy Germany for celebrating chrismas… and I still cannot imaging how it will be: thirty degress less and with rain in greyish Munich and Berlin. I really enjoyed my time here and a lot of people asked me last days, what was special about Botswana: for sure the openess and friendly kind of the people, which is really different from European style and easygoing, even if problems are bothering you, they always smile. Thanks therefore my bros and sis!

After arriving in Germany I will realise an intensive trip through whole country: starting from Munich, over Schwerin, Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen and then back to Black forest and Munich. Afterwards the next adventure will start – I will join Susi in Singapore and plan to spend at least next year there, firstly finishing my thesis and afterwards looking for great job and experience Asia in her hearth. Life wonÂ´t get boring and that itÂ´s all about. :)
