(photo: In front of my apartment at Lat Phrao Road)

In the next days (starting today) over one million demonstrators are expected in Bangkoks streets (Why?). These demonstrations were postponed several times, but today it looks like its happening. New Government laws were made to secure everything and force the red shirts for a quiet and non violent demonstration.  Some people also expect a coup and difficult situations near the Government buildings. Lets see how its gonna be…

peng und schon wieder neujahr!

chinesenewyear

Schon interessant wie sehr sich kulturelle Traditionen unterscheiden – Während wir in Deutschland am 31ten in den Flaschhals schauen, feiern die Thais erst im April ihr Neujahr und zwischen den beiden gibt es dann noch die Chinesen, die in den letzten Tagen in Bangkok für Aufmerksamkeit gesorgt haben.

Procrastinators Unite… …Tomorrow!

procrastinators

I don’t know why – but in the last weeks I’ve never been so busy and doing actually nothing at the same time.  I met all my deadlines but I’m doing everything in the last minute. Kind of annoying but I don’t know whats the reason, maybe the daily dosage of smog clouds in the street…

How To: BKK Traffic Rules

bkk_traffic

My motorbike is not even 3 month in use and I already reached the 2000 km mark! I have to say: It is just great driving a motorbike in Bangkok. Its fast, cheap and convenient! You are never stuck in traffic, you can park nearly everywhere and you can even pick up a friend or scare away annoying dogs in your soi!

But I have to admit that I had some problems lately with the (for me unusual) traffic rules and the funny police officers in Bangkok…

“Flo you suck” – “Why?” – “I can only read the page titles of your blog. I mean who the fuck speaks german?”

My student college is right! Its been quite a while that I’ve been thinking about switching my blog posts to English… So from now on twist your tongue and expect more bilingual stuff ;)

Stift beiseitelegen, bitte!

end_of_handwriting

Das unser Leben wesentlich schneller abläuft als früher wird einem nicht nur die Großmutter erzählen, wir merken es selbst jeden Tag. Es scheint fast so als floriert unser Leben unter einer einzigen großen Deadline. Schneller, schneller, schneller…

Vorallem durch die ganzen digitalen Medien und neuen Technologien scheinen wir immer mehr an ein Limit zu drücken. Bin letztens über einen interessanten Essay gestoßen, Thema: “Warum unsere Handschrift aussterben muss” - Allein der Titel brachte mich zum lächeln, weil ich darüber schon häufig nachgedacht habe.

Freedom sometimes starts with a Fire

tehran_28.12.09

In den letzten zwei Wochen hat sich einiges getan. Nach dem Tod von Ayatollah Montazeri gab es tägliche Demonstrationen. Nahezu aller meiner Freunde in Teheran sind auf der Straße und ich verfolge die Demonstrationen mit Herzklopfen. Ob die langsame Revolution ein Ende nimmt?
