Kenya

P1000423

We were in Kenya early December. Invited for a wedding and visiting friends in Wundanyi, a place I’ve been to several times already and where we have a few friends.

The Posho-mill is still working, but running a private kind of charity is difficult. Lots of expectations meeting the difficulty to honour all of them. That is the issue.

But we shall try to buy a plot of land and see what we can turn it into.

Kenya is indeed one of the few private places I have come back several times. I just appreciate being with the people down there and to see, how they manage their life!

Shit happens …

Zertificate

As you may well know, I have started my studies of an MBA this November. For somebody who is used to comment and judge others it is quite a thing to get used to being commented and judged. But it is the main purpose of a study: you have to learn, move forward and simply advance with your knowledge and get used to be criticised. You are going for a study because you don’t know things yet but want them to know….

Apple, the cloud and privacy issues

Wolke

For the first time in my life I lost my mobile. I am quite paranoid about losing things, so I really take care and in consequence losing something is rarely happening to me. I am clumsy and keep forgetting where I put things, but I rarely lose. This time though it well happened: taking my IPhone when going out, forgetting to close the zip. Just didn’t look after the Buddhist thing: when you do things, just do one at a time and concentrate on it….

London – the all too obvious!

1.4.06-14.05.06 123

Many things have been written in and about London. London is omnipresent in all areas of life, politics and culture. Londoners say „the one who does not like London does not know London!“ Some French instead stated „Si vous n’aimez pas la France, quittez la!“ This is the self-explaining difference ho the Londoners consider themselves in pure reservation even though London is not England and France not Paris. But London is indeed one of my favourite metropolises, if not the most favourite!…

Athens, Greece

Athen Arbeitskopie

Whenever you think about Greece, you think of a blue sea, white villages, seafood and Syrtaki. Lately all media were full of reports about a corrupt state system, overpaid civil servants, voluntary inability to adapt to the new and a society giving each and everybody but itself the responsibility for the current national mess. For outsiders it is very difficult to perceive a coherent image: being a friendly tourist destination versus a country on the brink of total collapse….

Dubai – paradise or hell for many?

P1060853

A place which was a fishing village just a few decades ago turned into an Eldorado for architects, into a global financial and business centre an, a hotspot for all kinds of activities and people. Dubai is offering unlimited possibilities to each and everyone but remains nevertheless one of the most cosmopolitan, thrilling, active and somehow tolerant places in the world under the condition you accept local habits and rules….
