I was in æ¡‚æž— (guilin) once, it was in March 2006. I had to go there because somebody had shown me a river landscape on the back of a 20RMB note.
There was a small island in the middle of the 漓 (li) river. I was going to walk south along the river for a couple [...]
This post is about cameras.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions on what kind of photography equipment I carried along the way, so here it is:
(Unfortunately, the camera that took this picture is not ON the picture.)
Why two cameras?
First of all, I wanted to use DSLR cameras, because I felt that they offered a [...]
Oh, he looks so pretty and so happy, all in red:
If he could only grow a beard!
But, oh well… a baby Jesus always seemed more charming than an old dude with a bunch of reindeers anyway.
Or who do you want to get your presents from?
Merry Christmas!
There was something beautiful in the mail a few days ago. I knew what it was before I opened it.
“I have always loved this book,” the sender had told me, “but I am nearing the end of my life and would love to find a good home for it.”

Sometimes, I feel like such a cheater.
I keep getting e-mails from friendly people all over the world, calling me “brave” and “inspiring” and what not. They don’t know that I am, in fact, the biggest sissy of them all.

I sometimes go to the gym, or “health club”, as they call it (offensive sauna dude). I think I got the membership there because I saw it as an easy way to stay in shape.
Dante and Sartre have written about hell, and maybe you know that I have been there before as well (Christoph in [...]

Here’s another post from the “misc” series. This one is basically about how to stay connected and do navigation.
First of all, I think it was a good choice to carry a computer that weighed only a little more than 2 pounds and had a battery-life of 6 hours:
It was a little expensive at the time, [...]
My video was being shown on a certain film tour around Europe, and last night, that tour came to Munich.
I got a free ticket. “Do you wanna appear on stage for an interview with the audience?” the dudes from the tour wanted to know.
