Australia 2019, part VIII + Singapore
Last call. We spent two nights in Rockingham, enjoying the enourmous pier (1.8km long), watched the parrots battle it out with the seagulls on the beach, fantastic sunsets at the pier as well as the lovely Cape Peron. Plus nice waffles at the Eye Scream Cafe. But we were mainly in town for hiking in…
2 Observations
1) RIP Rafi Eitan. Thank you for hunting down Eichmann (and probably others we don’t know about). We’d desperately need more of you in these times, there’s plenty of successors in Germany alone. Thank you for cleaning up what Germany has failed to clean up since 1945. 2) Entirely unrelated: „Upload filters“. No, the Internet…
New Zealand
No, this is not about vacation. It’s about the terrible terrorist act in Christchurch and its consequences. A couple of remarkable things: 1. Jacinda Ardern’s reaction, the empathy she has showed. Great leadership, great inspiration. Almost all other world leaders should learn from this. But never will unfortunately. Just looking at our AKK here in…
Scheiße bleibt Scheiße bleibt Scheiße
Man darf sich getrost fragen, was schlimmer wird 2021: Eine Kanzler*innen/Vizekanzler*innen Duo AKK & Lindner oder AKK & Gauland/Weidel? Ich glaube nicht, dass es einen Unterschied gibt. Scheiße bleibt Scheiße bleibt Scheiße. Aber Hauptsache Autos und Deutscher Bank geht es gut. Ich bin ja dafür, dass Politiker bei strunzdummen öffentlichen Äußerungen grundsätzlich 20 Stockhiebe erhalten.…

Australia 2019, part VII
Everybody knows I love birds, especially parrots. So Pemberton especially was quite the paradise for me. Plus cute roos and emus for the Reisebegleitung, what more could you wish for? Well, maybe an obligatory trip to a lighthouse, cuz that’s her other fetish. So we drove down to Pt. D’Entrecasteaux, which no Aussie can pronounce…
Australia 2019, part VI
There was one good thing about the Rangers House – the grill. Fantastic! The bed on the other hand really sucked. After two nights on this mattress I’d have paid a fortune for a real bed. Otherwise, we only tested the bakery just outside Nornalup, the Tingles Bakehouse, and found good coffee, nice cakes, and…
Jetzt kann uns nur noch die AfD retten…
Unerhört! Da machen tausende Schüler*innen blau und der Staat versagt mal wieder als Ordnungsmacht. Mit Hitler, Sarrazin oder Gaulandweiler wäre das nicht passiert. Schön, dass es dann doch noch scheinbar ein letztes Zucken gibt. Auch wenn es zu spät ist und am Ende doch nichts ändert. Aber fühlt sich gut an und ich wünsche euch…
