  • Towns of the World: Constance

    I just got home from Indonesia. Can you say ‘get home’ if you actually move from one home to another? Anyways, I am still not used to all the details of life in Germany. Sure i survive the basics, but as the German saying goes ‘the devil is in the detail’. It’s the small things…

  • No More to Say #1

    No More to Say will be a category  I’ll be posting on regular bases on my blog. It consists of several links I encountered in the Internet and I think are worthwhile sharing. Once in a while I might even comment them. Since most content is not published in all the 3 languages of my…

  • JIndoBlog? JInfoBlog!

    What? You might have realized the little, yet an important change in the name of my blog. From now onwards the blog will be more general, since my time in Indonesia is up. I will inform (yes, that’s the key word!) you about pretty much anything I found worthwhile mentioning. It might be trips, events,…

  • Goodbye Indonesia: Last day at Work

    My last day in YCM was a great day. Several events fell together. There was the movie-making, the Music Festival and of course my Goodbye Party. While the first two parts would be already enough for a blog post each on its own, I decided for now to only tell you about my goodbye. Many…

  • Indotrip: Around Samosir Island

    From the before mentioned Hotel Carolina we went to explore the Island of Samosir. We rented some motorcycles for a reasonable price there and drove north along the Samosir’s shore. The beautiful view on the Danau Toba made us stop every few kilometers in order to enjoy the beauty. Our destination was at the northern…

  • YCM Activitites: Green Earth Indonesia

    One of these days Green Earth Indonesia visited us. Their main work field is renaturation of former mining areas. The problem in Indonesia is, that dangerous chemicals are used in the mining process. Thus the earth there is literally dead after the mining ends. Normally renaturation happens on its own, but not under these circumstances.…

  • Indotrip: The Jungle Inn

    If you want to see wild Orang Utan in Sumatra, Bukit Lawang is your place to go to. That’s why ended up there. When we got there, we walked all the way up the river until the village ended and the National Park Gunung Leuser began. And there at the border of civilisation we found…

  • YCM Activities: Football Day

    I’ve been so busy, that I still couldn’t tell you about the football day yet. This day was some time ago when still all 32 teams were in the World Cup, so don’t wonder about the pictures. The tutors prepared a day full of activities all around the ball. From Quizzes to goal shooting. Everybody…
