  • About the Internet Connection

    So I got the wrong information from the retail store. My internet connection doesn’t allow 3 GB before it slows down but 2,5GB. Now I’m at 2,5 GB and it’s still some 3 more days to go.  Actually I thought I wouldn’t reach the limit. Guess I was wrong. Well lurching around with some 64kbit/s…

  • About Daily Life

    So since nothing special is happening, besides that I will go to Jogjakarta next week, i thought it to be the best to tell you about daily life. So on a normal day I will stand up at 7:30 a.m. and ready myself for work. At about 8:30 a.m. I will head out to the…

  • 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…

  • 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…

    Let’s begin with the most imporant: Happy Birthday Mom! Certain things are to be mentioned other every distance. Otherwise I got my polling information from the German State. They are already on their way back to Germany so they should be there before the 27th or Election day. I also dicided myself to buy my…

  • About ATM's

    About ATM’s Aren’t they like our very best friend? Especially on these days where you want to just get some money and suddenly they tell you just have made an unauthorized intent to access the card and thus it will be retained. Well it even gets better when you consider that it is the bank’s…

  • A new Home

    I don’t know when you will actually read this post, since I still have to look how to manage all the things with the internet, but I’m writting it for you anyway. It might be that you get like several posts at once. So all I did today was pretty much await the very moment…

  • About the Arrival Camp

    So this is the very last night in the Arrival Camp. We are getting ready to go to Bogor. But what has happened so far? I will give you a little review about the last two days. Yesterday beside some sessions about the culture and language we had a so-called “Mini-Olympics”. Or in other words…

  • Getting to Jakarta

    Episode 2 or Friday: I had to stand up early than intended because  of a thunderstorm in order to reach Frankfurt. You heard right, I didn’t say Frankfurt Airport, that’s because I needed to get my visa first at the Embassy. After all everything went fine and I got my visa. Luckily from Frankfurt you…

  • A little "thank you"

    At this point I’d like to give thanks to the most important benefiter, Gudrun Seiler. She contributed the mayor part to my fund raising. Celebrating her 50th birthday she asked her friends to gift her money. Half of it for my fund raising, half of it for one of her heart’s desires. She deliberatly shared…
