Gandalf the Pedophile

Driving down south to Kerikeri was beautiful: we took the time to take the scenic coastal route, visiting gazillions of beautiful beaches and inlets. Bliss and joy. KK itself is very nice of course as well, real fruit icecream, need I say more. On a rainy Saturday afternoon we went to Ngawha hot springs, which…

end {strange bowel movements} start {summer holiday}

Ahipara, 90 Mile Beach, Northland, New Zealand Did I say it already? Fuck Cathay Pacific. They haven’t yet managed to reply to my complaints. Nevermind. Life’s too short anyway. Summer in NZ has been great so far! I somehow managed to drive from Auckland to Ahipara on Wednesday although I had not slept at all,…

fuck cathay pacific

I really didn’t expect this to happen. We flew from HKG to SYD on Sunday evening. They served dinner shortly after takeoff. So far so good. Food didn’t look good, didn’t taste good, nothing like the stuff on the first leg. But I was famished and thought, hey, it’s airline food after all, not Gordon…

Hong Kong, crazy but nice

Yo. From the city where they think “last Christmas ” is a great song. Especially so when it’s really hot outside. They have crazy Xmas decorations everywhere, everything displaying fake Arctic themes seems to be cherished by the locals. Well for my part, I’m happy with 25 degrees in December. Went to Hong Kong park,…

Iron Sky Tour 2012, VI (rest)

Finally got around to finishing this. We drove from Mesa Verde to Monticello, Utah and again, there’s nothing to complain about. This is really hard for us Germans, we are brought up to whinge and complain and moan and when we finally end up having a good time we are fucked because that’s against our…

Iron Sky Tour 2012, V

Mesa Verde. You can read all about it in Wikipedia, so I’m not going to repeat the obvious. It’s fascinating and really, really strange. First of all, it’s a rather long drive until you’ve reached the area where all the action is. There is, of course, a visitor center and you can book a ranger…

Iron Sky Tour 2012, IV

Tell you what, it’s totally hard to judge those distances in the sand dunes. And it’s a nice workout, too – three steps back for every step you take. But all the sweat was worth something – I discovered a secret that’s going to turn the world of historians upside down: Rommel lives – in…

Eilmeldung: Spanien ist Oiropameister

Gewundert, warum ich nix zur EM mitzuteilen hatte? Weil mir die ganze Scheiße auf den Sack geht. Um es mal ganz einfach und deutlich zu sagen. Die ganzen Spiele werden nur noch für Heineken, Coca-Cola, Mastercard, Sony und Co ausgetragen  und natürlich die schmierigen Funktionäre. Am Schlimmsten sind die widerlichen, selbstgerechten Schiedsrichter. Insofern: Ich froie…
