  • About Transportation

    So the first difference to see compared to Bogor is, NO Angkots at all. They have a bus system there and these nice Tricycles with a seat in front you can sit on. And of course Taxis. But we rented a driver for the first day because our first day was all about sight-seeing. For…

  • About Being Sick … Again

    Before I tell you about all the cool stuff, let’s talk about the not so cool things first. I got Diarrea while I was in Yogyakarta. Luckily it I still could come around. After I got medication from the doctor it soon became better and I could enjoy Yogyakarta more. But somehow it is really…

  • About a Trip

    So I’m back home now and it is time to write about my trip, but lamentably or luckily it is to much for one post. So you will find several posts about this trip in the upcoming days, each covering one event. Starting from today, later this day I’ll post the first one. Inzwischen bin…

  • 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.

  • About an Earthquake

    So by now I have been asked several times if I am ok. With this notice I’d like to tell all of you I’m totally fine. The earthquake is happening on another island, Sumatra. Here on Java we barely felt the earthquake, I didn’t at all. But it is really sad what is happening there…

  • About Surprises

    I imagine you want you hear beautiful stories from Borneo, so do I. But mine is different. Very different. All starts with the morning before the flight, I didn’t feel that well. But I ignore it, I don’t want to miss that chance for a dumb feeling. So we headed of to the airport and…

  • Vacation and other little things

    So I’ve been on Lebaran-Holidays since Wednesday. Lebaran or Idul Fitri (arabic: becoming holy again) is the end of the Ramadhan-Month and concludes the fasting time by asking everybody for forgiveness. You could compare it to Christmas-Holidays in christian countries. Tomorrow I’ll be heading to Southborneo, more exactly Kalimantan. You’ll see some beautiful pictures in…
