This was a hard day. We got up at 5.30am to reach our coach to Doubtful Sound right in time. The way to the sound was escorted by a nice sunrise, where rays blast over the surounding hills. First we went to Lake Wanapouri, where we went aboard of an small catamaran. It took us [...]

Sometimes people seems to be crazy. I read within an OOF notification: “…I’ll be tentatively on vacation…”. And no, this doesn’t came from a German. ;o)

I got a new colleague this days and could force him to create an own blog. Sure, not for his own… more to see where he is driving on down under. Cannot await all the photos!

Hi Folks I’m back online. Yes – fast, but not without a reason. First, usually all flights to Europe are starting around midnight. But after a full day of fighting through this city your feet will be tired and you won’t be in the mood to shop again at the airport. Duty Free is – [...]

This city is the naked insanity. If you are not carefully enough with yourself this city will eat you – completely. Never before I saw such a city which are exists through shopping malls and hotels. Often you cannot realize when you leave one shopping mall and reach another one. But please DO NOT enter [...]

Thursday morning I got up and it was still very cloudy. Depending on the situation in that accommodation I decided to renounce the shower for this morning. So I collected all the things are belonging to me dropped the key onto the counter and left this… whatever this was. I brushed my teeth on the [...]

Yes, Queenstown is situated in the west of the south island but it is “only” young, wild and playful like a late teenager. The west coast is like a man in his best years, rough, wild and stormy. The breakers bump onto the coast and you will hear their roaring for miles. It seems the [...]

Queenstown is not just only a town. It is like a winter sport town in Switzerland or Austria and it is – besides – the capital of the craziest people I have ever seen! Higher, faster, crazier, it is a war of new ideas. It is a competition about “What can we create that will [...]

Yes yes, you’re right. I’m on holiday yet and shouldn’t read my emails. But I use my Outlook also to check my private emails. So it was unavoidable that got an internal newsletter. I caught a headline: “Generation Y”. I’m wondering what happens? Do we move forwards? Maybe, if I should have children (sometimes) they [...]

Up to now I thought that European people and Americans are crazy. Now I have to correct myself. What’s happening when people of all ages are digging holes in the beach to sit in? The gold rush is over, or not? The light yellow colour is not gold! It is sulphur! Okay, the reason is: [...]

This evening we went to an elevated point in Mission Bay (Auckland) to see the comet McNaught. Unfortunately my photos aren’t as good as the one in the newspaper today, taken with the same camera as mine. Awesome! The elevated point in the background is the so called “One Tree Hill”.

Monday morning, I’m sitting in a class with all the new students. All heads – with serious faces – are bent over the paper with the first test. One is laughing. That’s me. Why? I read the following: I’ve had three colds this winter already, and it’s only January July. Ich hatte bereits drei Erkältungen [...]

January 27th will be my last day with the homestay family. Originally I planned to travel over the north island. But my host mother recommended to me, because on the shortness of my travel time, that it will be better to explorer the south island. So I have to change my plan and will start [...]

Friday morning at Dubai airport, getting out from a plane and searching for a real coffee. I heard that you can get very good coffee (aka Mocha) in Arabia. But what you’ll see is a coffee bar with a big advertisement that they use Italian knowhow. So, I’m sitting in an Italian style coffee bar [...]
