About Borobudur
Long time no post, I’m sorry for that, but I was quite occupied. Well about that old Buddhist Temple is only to say: Watch the pictures and enjoy! Schon länger nichts mehr geschrieben, hiermit entschuldige ich mich, aber ich war in letzter Zeit ziemlich beschäftigt. Über diesen alten Buddhistischen Temple gibt es sowieso nur eins…

About Silat
Today I had my first Silat-lesson with Raka, a friend of mine from the AFS. Actually another of the exchange students was supposed to join, but lamentably he couldn’t make it.

About my daily Way
Little to say, just enjoy some pictures I took on my way to work and back. Es gibt wenig zu sagen, genießt einfach die Bilder, die ich auf meinem Weg zur Arbeit und zurück gemacht habe.
