Work wise I was in the lovely Salzkammergut a lot the past month. Several Times in Mondsee, right next the infamous church which was used for the site of the wedding in the movie "Sound of Music". Every time I was there, a horde of Americans and Asians would walk around the square in front of the church, take a look inside the church and fill up the memory cards of their digital cameras with

I think the picture speak for itself! I saw the truck today on my way home from work and could not resist to share it with you! A clever and non violent way to show support.

Well, since everyone is giving the current president of the United States such a hard time, I think I personally have to step up and thank him for making one of my biggest dreams come true. How you might ask? There is also a little pre-story that I want to share, which dates back to the year 2001, to be precise, the 9th of September 2007. I was travelling around Australia at that time and

I just spent some really wonderfull days in London. No sightseeing, just friends. Wandering around the city and having a cup of tea every now and then, just perfect. One of my favourit spots is the V & A Museum, it has a fantastic cafe with this amazing giant light bulbs. Very modern, but it fits perfect with the rest of the old fashined museum.

Don't worry, I am just kidding! But who knows - this week I got five offers from people around the globe to buy my website. Apparently Google changed its policy towards link-selling and now buying “aged” websites is the new thing when it comes to SEO (Search engine optimization). I can’t believe I bought the domain in 2002 and the website has already been around for more then five years. But

Hi folks! If you have nothing to say, just change the style... I have been very quiet in the past few months and only added a couple of pictures here and there and some short stories. The truth is, I just don't feel like writting at the moment! So to keep things a little fresh around here, I decided to say "Good bye" to the old template and let a new one take over (the old one was full of bugs

A friend recently described my facial expression with the following sentence, I will post it in the original german and I think its really flattering!

Today I climbed up 393 steps of the belltower of the "Neuen Dom" to get a breathtaking view of the city. Despite the strong wind and the clouds an amazing experience!

Another G8 meeting, this time its Germany! The big players meet in a seaside spa, called Heiligendamm - to talk about Global warming, poverty in Africa and Globalisation. The summit lasts for about 3 days and costs about 100 Millon Euros. If I am correct that makes 385 Euros for every second of those three days. When big players like George Bush, Angela Merkel, Tony Blair and Vladimir Putin

Yesterday I welcomed Vistor Nr. 100.000! Horray! - To celebrate that event I am off to Cuba for the next few weeks! Just kidding, that trip was planned long ago. If I get proper connection in Fidel Castro-Land I will try and let you know how I like it over there!

A couple of weeks ago I spent a few days in Rome. I explored the ancient ruins of the Palatine Hill, the Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, the Spanish steps and of course the Vatican, home of Pope Benedict XVI, the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church. I joined two tours and both times had a wonderful guide who showed me around the city. She had a great knowledge of history from the early

A while ago I got the first season of Greys Anatomy on DVD. You know why I did so? Because it’s a must have in a guys DVD collection. Especially the first season, hardly anyone has seen the pilot, most have missed out the first season entirely (Its only nine episodes anyway). Women are much easier seduced into your flat if you have Dr. Meredith Grey’s first adventure at hand than to see Leonardo
