Streets of Kabul

This time there's a report from a particular station: Kabul. I'll stop myself here about 4 weeks. We've been here about 1 week before I start with angekommen.Trotzdem the journey to here. There is a huge hype around the issue of security. Even before the trip a huge effort. The more we were curious how it would look really here now. The flight to Kabul was interesting.

Last Saturday we finally looked at the Lake Naivasha. About. 2 hours drive from Nairobi, lies this lake also in the Rift Valley. To see there are a lot of birds, hippos and other animals. for example, there are storks, as I prefer to spend the winter in warmer climes. The ride to the same place is not a problem. The roads up to that quite well. On the lake itself, it looks a little worse. Only extremely dusty dirt roads. If 20 meters in front of a driving a vehicle with a visibility of the dust raised by barely 5 feet. I'm so keyed caution. First stop was at Naivasha Counrty Club. Entry could be the low for a fee. From there we then hired a boat to the lake to look at us. The water is about waist high. There are only a few points lower. Large parts of the lake are covered by plants (see photo above). These animals seem to taste pretty good.

Simply hang times can

Is it now a few days ago, but I have one of my colleagues on a trip to Lake Nakuru National Park made. The plan was to drive to Nakuru in the morning (the same city on the lake), seeking to look at the lake. On the way back then to Lake Naivasha to see. This was, however, nothing. Lake Nakuru has occupied us for too long. So we are going early in the morning. Well, that is so against ninth About. 11 clock we arrived at the entrance to the park. Somehow it was just "Rush Hour". Quite a queue at the checkout. The whole thing was not really cheap. $ 60 a white nose. For about $ 6 locals were due. "Read the rest of the entry ..

So slowly, the cold in Berlin. To make time on the road to the south. So am yesterday via Istanbul to Nairobi flying. Really warm here, but it is not. Therefore it almost to the equator, it is quite cool. 25 degrees. Felt more 20th Was pretty chilly this morning in the pool. This time I'm not traveling alone. A colleague with me. We arrived this morning at 3. The hotel is very good. But somehow, still no one wants to really work with us. No one was interested in our arrival. So we have only ever looked after the office itself. We have also found it then. At the other end of town. Was the wrong one. The other is only 5 minutes away. Well, at least we have learned to know the city only once. Some other things done (such as blog writing) and then back to the hotel. Tomorrow is public holiday here only once. Again lucky. Let's see if there is then what to do on Thursday. Now I need only look once more what we do tomorrow on the free day. Also, I must find something else where you can go out tonight.

All of Germany is suffering from the heat. Air conditioning in trains from falling. All whines that it is too warm. As always, if more than three days raining, snowing, hot or cold, are all apparently dissatisfied with the weather. Well, what can I say then. I've been here for two months. Not a cloud in the sky. Not a drop of rain. 40 Last week we had plenty of degrees. This week there is something better. We only come to 37 Well here is: There are both in the office and in the hotel air conditioning.

"Public Viewing"

Now what should I do. Much is not happening. Working and watching football. In between, a little presidential election. But it is not the value you write about it. In order to write about work, I'm not interested. So about football. This makes for fun times at least once. I have since been found also plenty of opportunities to watch football. In the office you're still a bit bitchy. After the last game of the Italians was the first time closing. Was probably offended some boss that have a few people happy too loud about it. In the match between Germany and England's sudden but then went back because a few Grosskopferte were visiting and wanted to see the game necessarily. For the rest you had to find alternatives.

Soccer in the coffee

Really good I have not met this time. The overall World Cup I will be in Syria. That in itself is not really bad, but it just is not so easy to look at the football games. In the beginning I was very happy. In the hotel you could both ARD and ZDF received. All the best, I thought. Until then look at every now and then extra impressions were. First with the ARD. The fact that this satellite (Hotbird) transmission on 8 June is set. Then also the ZDF. During the Football World Cup will be broadcast on this channel but not ZDF ZDF neo. Well class. For "legal reasons". You search on any of the other 60 channels that can be received here led to nothing. The only source which matches this area transfers is the sports channel of Al Jazeera. Of course, encrypted. In the hotel room to not receive. Only the coffee on the first floor. "Read the rest of the entry ..

The camel (below) and I

I was lucky. Friday morning arrived. Friday is here, what is with us Sunday and Saturday is also a day off. In addition, Sunday Holiday. I can so I had to rest a bit. The first day I spent at the pool. On Saturday, I'm walking a little run around. It is annoying. All five meters will take a one somewhere or what to sell or whatever. They all speak English to some extent. The word "No" does not seem to belong to known vocabulary. I decide that I do not move on foot here again. On Sunday I want to but then look at the pyramids. Which, although only about a kilometer, but still I'm taking a car from the hotel. It is very early, shortly after breakfast. Indeed, at the 9th A good time to break. "Read the rest of the entry ..
