Just a little reminder to all of us who tend to forget, to fast, especially when we don’t get bombarded by the news cause it’s not relevant for the media anymore ….. At least most of us ….. I got these pictures today and I am touched to see them all. We should be thankful…

Outside the City / May 16th…. 4 days after
2 days after I arrived in Kathmandu, exactly 2 days after the second earth quake, we – my back than guides, now friends (!) – went to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. It is 13km outside of Kathmandu. It’s one of the 3 Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley, and like the all 3 a UNESCO World…
“You don’t like our bread?!!” Dinner in Paris
“You need help?” “Yes please. …… Thanks and it’s a good idea I will take the fish …..” 3 min. later after my drinks arrived: “Thanks but no thanks, you can take the bread away again, please.” He looked at me with an almost shocked face, eyes big wide open:” So you don’t like our…
Every Little Step Counts / Or: the bigger the challenge is, the better it is to add small moments of happiness and visible improvements / 13 happy new toothbrush owner / May 2015
It was hot, hot as always before the rainy season starts. Being in a tent didn´t make it easier. I was very lucky to be able to spend time with the kids and their Mummy. Sometimes circumstances force us to be creative – for sure something people in not so fortunate parts of the world…
Sunday in Berlin or school enrolment Vietnamese style / Dong Uang Center Berlin
It started like a good traditional Sunday. I baked strawberry cakes, the sun was shining and I just about finished everything when my friend came: ” Hi”. “Hi, nice to see you. Oh that’s nice, you brought flowers!” ” Yes the shop I normally buy was closed, so I got these.” ” They are nice….

Nice 2 min. line up / Chizang Magic:)
Close to my guest house yesterday afternoon. Life is going on. If you ask me, he is not doing that for the first time. As a German I can only say: impressive, fantastical and it works! Hmmmmmmmmm I guess you have to have that special something. 😉
“Hi”, “Hi” “So what are you actually doing right now??????” “Oh I have lice from them, this is why their hair is short.” / interesting concept: revised logic??? /pure panic in my face and instand scratching guaranteed
I walked around and catched a view in the tent. Just like that, just to say hi basically, which I also did. I almost didn’t wanted to disturb that close connection between the child and the young woman, a connection that worked without any words, very natural,organic almost and very relaxed but with very obvious…
You will not believe that / hipster-like Monk
I see a lot of “new genaration monks” here with mobile devices, cool sneakers and fashionable arrangements (jackets, sneakers and bags, backpacks) within their colour palette & designs, which are of limited nature as we know.
