355 Days - A Trip Around the World

Unfortunately I had to disable comments - I'm simply getting spammend too much. On some days I get more than 500 spam-entries and I really don't want to deal with this any longer. The problem is that I haven't figured out how to leave reading of comments enabled while disabling posting. Therefor it is unfortunately currently not possible to read any of the comments on this site. The search-function is also affected by this. I will leave for Laos and Cambodia tomorrow and will deal with the problem once I'm back. i.e. after March 1st, 2006. More »

I don't think it's quite time yet to let this blog die for good. There are still a few things I'd like to tell you about my trip, about what I learned etc. Today I'm gonna write something that has been on my mind for a long time. A brief, incomplete list of the best and the worst from my trip. More »

I can hardly belive that I've already been back in Germany for ten days now! It feels like yesterday that I arrived back in Munich. And I still haven't fully arrived. But I suppose that's hardly surprising after a year of travelling. More »

Eleven days ago, the day after I had returned from Tikal, my server had a hard disk crash. The site was down, everything seemed to be gone. And guess, who hadn't made a backup... More »

I can hardly believe that I only have one day left! On monday it's time to fly home! So it's starting to be time to say good-bye. But I won't say good-bye quietly and sad! I'm trying to say "cu soon" with laughter, hugs and kisses! More »
