Part II of our Holidays.

77.

First snow today.

It's so dark and grey outside, it's impossible to get some nice and bright blog pictures.

Colourful food and clothes will cheer me up. What are your suggestions for grey days?

Found some great new inspiring blogs, find them here and here.

Celebrated a best friends birthday.

Really missing some motivation for my Master Thesis. Only 3 months left!

I am almost cracking up.

Hope you'll all spend a wonderful weekend!

Part I of our Holidays.

Thank you all for the lovely responses to my last post! Obviously a lot of us like the season between too hot and
too cold the most.
Summer is over. I am heading off to warmer places. See you in 3 weeks!

Missing summer though winter is still absent.

2 - Update Dubai.

Dubai 2011. Hope to be there again someday. There where some questions about this big city. And I want to answer them though I just spent a few days there. First: it is really superficial. If you know the play "Hotel" from the 90's - it felt like being captured in it, like it becam real somehow. There are a lot of different architecture styles, a lot of unfinished superhuge buildings, but also a lot of sparkling and glamour. In the middle of the town, next to the Greek, there you find the historical part. My impression was, that the city is really rich and clean. It didn't saw real poor people there, but of course I didn't get close to the construction site. Everything is going to be rebuild after a few years, it seemed. A taxidriver told us, there are 80% foreign workers in town, but they're from everywhere around the world. He also told us, that the sheik let build a new metro system, and at some holidays everyone can ride for free. One point, that really strikes my conscience is the fact of the huge amount of energy and water they use every day. I mean, who needs a skiing hall in the desert? Airconditioning everywhere, turned down for about 20° outside. But as I was told they plan a suncollector plantage in the near future, maybe a first step to ecology. But nevertheless, it was a rather positive experience and if you know how poor people live in other big cities, this is not the worst. I think we could live there in our regular standards and obviously a lot of european people decide to work there for the simple fact of getting payed a lot more. This is of course my tourist view of things, but that's all I can tell. Wish you all a nice week!

We're back from our little trip to Austria, lots of storm and snow, but it was relaxing though!
Hopefully all of you spent a wonderful Christmas with your beloved ones!

Some old photographs of better times.
I love b/w.

Found some old photographs from our first trip to Asia.
Longing for warm weather & exotic fruit. Barefoot & light clothing.

Is it November yet? What was I doing this year? There are still so much unfinished or not even started projects...

.

It's getting colder. Morning fog & lovely smell of roses, reminding me of warmer days.

Homesick.

Finally got the account for using the internet here at the new school.
Last week was pretty heavy, but now we can work on our own most of the week.
I really like working my own schedule.

I never lived in a city before. It's so noisy. I miss the countryside.
But home is not that far & I will go there in a few hours to spend my weekend there.
