  • Malaysian Adventures: Time’s up

    By the time I’m writing this I’m already sitting in my room in Bogor. I made it back home. The last two days in Malaysia I had to spend in the Embassies. First in the German, later on in the Indonesian. But after some time I had it all figured out and was ready to…

  • Malaysian Adventures: A City from above

    I am not really sure whether I should find it positive or negative to stay in Malaysia for a longer time. I won’t be able to get back to Indonesia before next Tuesday, maybe even later. Thanks to AFS I can stay in another host family which had been very kind to me. I am…

  • Too much to report

    I greed you from Malaysia. Yeah you heard me right. I’m not in Indonesia any more. I’m not done yet telling out about my Indotrip. Further I had some activities from YCM, but first I’ll tell you about this Malaysian Adventures. For unknown reasons my visa wasn’t extended anymore, so me and Stefan had to…

  • Indotrip: A River in the Jungle

    When we had been in Bukit Lawang we were trekking for a day in the jungle. We have seen a lot, but that shall be another story. After the trekking we reached an beautiful river with a small laguna. There we stayed and took a bath in water after hours and hours of sweating. We…

  • Flattring

    You might think I missed an ‘e’ in flattering, but I didn’t. Today I’d like to present you a social micropayment service. As you might have noticed, a new button has arrived under my blog called ‘flattr’ – there is also a facebook like-button, press it if you liked what you read. What is this…

  • Indotrip: Bira

    So today I’m running a bit late in writing you for several reasons. Today I’m going to tell you about our stay in Bira. A sleepy seaside village at the south-eastern part of South Sulawesi. If you come under the week you may even wonder how there could be tourism at all in such a…

  • Indotrip: Hotel Carolina

    One remarkable place on our trip was the Hotel California – wait Hotel Carolina – we stayed in Tuk Tuk, a peninsula on the peninsula of Samosir in Lake Toba. If you’re still confused by California, Tuk Tuks (really not the transportation!) or the peninsula on the peninsula, take your time. For the others I…

  • Revamp

    I decided quite a while ago to change the look of my blog. Tonight I went through with it. I found a design and made some minor changes to fit it to my imagination. I hope you like the new design. With the new design an improved accessabilty of older content was introduced. Now you…

  • Indotrip: The Beginning is the End

    This had been the three fastest weeks of my life, at least it felt like that. I remember  like it was yesterday how I waited at the Jakarta International Airport for two hours because my two good friends Hanke und Adrian wouldn’t come out. But actually yesterday I saw them walk back into the Jakarta…

  • A more quiet Time

    So folks, I barely ended my stories about Ujung Kulon, just to announce the next trip. Starting this sunday I will trip around Indonesia with two friends. We will hit Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and Bali in the said order. I cannot promise to write you within this three weeks, though I will try to. It…
