Dramaturgien auf Milos

04/09/2018

Milos verbinde ich vor allem mit der Dramaturgie, die sich durch den Wechsel der verschiedenen Szenerien auf meinen Radtouren ergeben hat. Die Insel hat gerade die richtige Größe, um sie komplett mit dem Rad zu erkunden – alle paar Kilometer kann sie mit einem anderen abwechslungsreichen [...]

Japan

13/03/2017

Ich habe nun dank völliger energetischer Erschöpfung durch eine Kombination aus Arbeit und aktivem Sozialleben (*räusper*) wirklich schon erschreckend lange nichts mehr geschrieben, und werde nun zum Glück durch meine Reise nach Japan aus dieser bedauerlichen Routine gezwungen. Trotz 2,5 Jahren [...]

Seattle

27/07/2016

I am sitting in a café called Panama Hotel Tea House adjacent to the hotel with the same name – a historic house previously occupied by Japanese. I don’t know the details, but this entire district is called Asia town and there are black and white pictures on the wall showing Asians [...]

Greece revisited. Part 5: Looters in Athens

04/06/2016

The title is certainly not giving the city justice, with its charming old town, historic sites, faboulous market streets and great restaurants, and the many different neighbourhoods it has to offer.

Greece revisited. Part 4: Salt Lake City

You are wondering why I am continuing the series after a month, already back in Germany? The next story will tell you.

Greece revisited. Part 3: Meeting the family

03/05/2016

By the time we reached my uncle’s house we had already stopped by or greeted a couple of my father’s friends or distant relatives on the way and had had a small lunch at my great uncle Christos’ place, who by 12 was already drunk and insisted on serving us some Tiropita and [...]

Greece revisited. Part 1: Kastrosikia

29/04/2016

Back to Greece, my father’s home, after many years. The last time I had been to Greece was before I went abroad and came back, before I started my own business and failed, before the end of my almost-marriage, before burying my idea to have kids, before the Greek financial crisis, before [...]

Kathmandu Express

22/08/2014

Ohne die Grenzen Kathmandus gen Himalaya verlassen zu haben, kann man sich nur schwerlich qualifiziert über Nepal äußern, das nahezu alle Touristen doch wegen seiner Gebirge, und nicht wegen seiner Hauptstadt anlockt. Mir standen jedoch nur wenige Tage zur Verfügung, und so mussten sich meine [...]
