After 80 days around the world… I landed in Muscat, the capital city of the Sultanate of Oman. For this last phase of my three-month-long trip, I am not prepared at all, but I do not have to be, Christiane took over and checked all the necessities. Christiane visited Oman in December 2016 for her first time […]
The last weeks I travelled through mega cities such as Seoul, Osaka, Kyoto, Shanghai and Hong Kong. All those cities have a tremendous speed, density and its own kind of automatism which catches you whilst staying there. You feel subjected to the dynamic of the city like you are captured in an endless ribbon of time. Unless… […]
Nara / Japan, part III With a population of 377.000 Nara is a small town besides most of the other big cities in Japan. It is a ‘quiet’ city but it was not always like that because Nara was, in the Nara time where it was known as Heijō-kyō, the capital city of Japan. That was between 710 […]
Belize, the only Central American country with English as the official language, has the longest barrier reef in the Northern hemisphere and the world’s largest population of jaguars living in the wild. The approach via Miami no longer bothers me; I arrive late in the afternoon, take a fixed price yellow cab for $ 35 […]
Searching for cool places in New York by bike is a bit like chasing Pokemon, except the rewards aren’t digital. I push the pedals in a steady rhythm, zoom past yellow cabs and through Soho to get to my favorite coffee shop in the Bronx. Cycling isn’t the first thing you’d connect with New York, […]
If you think the ice age is confined to the poles (or ice cream parlors), you’re wrong! Here’s an audio-visual treat for everyone who likes to throw caution to the wind. I made those recordings during my time as tenant of the Alois Günther Haus (1782 m) at Stuhleck/Semmering from 2013 to 2015. Although the […]
Eagle eyes had latched onto me, reacting to my slightest move. The mighty eagle perched on my left hand, supported by a wooden cast., while my right hand was holding the reigns of a Mongol Steppe horse, and that’s how we rode deep into the West of the Mongolian steppes, to Olgii in Altay. The […]
Putting the pedal to the metal while racing through the desert has long been my dream, and then it deflated … all four of the wheels had to be deflated to half their tire pressure, to be precise, otherwise my car would have gotten stuck in the sandy soil. Namibia got its name from the […]
What beauty, what a pity. The only thing in Tibet that’s greater than its mountains, culture, religion and the smile of its people is the prevalent feeling of hopelessness. This despondency has covered the country for decades like persistent fog because no international organization or single state is petitioning actively for change. Depending on where you […]
Sulawesi, an island between Borneo and New Guinea, is – at 174.600 km2 – gigantic. The size varies depending on which online source you consult, but what are a few square hectares at that size! Sulawesi really has a lot to offer, not just in regard to its varied nature, but also culturally. Besides the size, […]
