First day of the South Pacific Island-Tour. A short flight from Vienna to London and a rather long flight from there to Los Angeles. A short note on the plane and the crew: Whenever you can, take Air New Zealand. I have never ever before experienced such a nice flight. The crew was [...]

In 1997 I participated in a field trip to Venice organized by my school. All the participants were divided into two groups: One group’s task was to take pictures with their cameras and the other group’s task was to do paintings in various forms: crayoning, hatching, these kind of things. I [...]
In 2004 I decided to go to Kashgar, at that time there was the myth of it being the end of the world, have a look yourself. Although preparations have been made and I was ready to go, I did not. Too many things happened in Shanghai and Beijing and time was extremely [...]
Leaving Shanghai for a destination nobody knows something about like Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) is not very common, especially not, if you have no idea that you are going there.

Years ago, I used to spend nearly every summer in a small village in Tirol called Haiming (view from high above or just a little above). Then, with the military service disturbing this tradition, I stopped going there and started to do regular holidays (you know, beach, sea, things like that). But I with every [...]
When you visit Fuerteventura a must-see is the shipwreck of the American Star (view from high above) which you can find on the island’s west coast. Actually, there is nothing else here to do. The island is a piece of desert in the sea and full of drunken people, who enjoy their few free [...]
