Today I took off from Damascus. Right now I'm sitting in the airport of Bahrain. The flight is Delayed for almost an hour. So tomorrow I will arrive around 12:00 clock in local time (6:00 EST clock) in Manila.

Was once briefly in Stockholm on Tuesday. Although it should be something more, but in this city is from one day to the other just to get a hotel. So I flew back again the same evening. Belongings out of the bunker from the data center and the airport, saw nothing. But on Saturday it's back to Manila. So to denne.

Had to Wednesday every day to do properly. On Wednesday evening I had already caught a strong cough. People here are always very extreme temperature fluctuations. 30-35 degrees outside and 95% humidity. In the workplace, about 18-20 degrees. In addition, one must also take off in the RZ of the customer or the footwear. In the malls, it is also freezing cold and when you come back to the hotel, there also have "good intentions". The thinking probably, a European living in the best snow and turn the air conditioning on "full ampoule". If you then still have a colleague there who does anyway coughs and sneezes, then it will not be long before even the trunk has a disease during the winding.
Did then only once smashed strong medicine and slept until Thursday afternoon. I did not have fever. It went reasonably Sun My job was also done so far. I just say again briefly to the office to "Goodbye". Friday (today) is a holiday. Since I still do not feel so good, I have today made no larger tour of the city. Are still two photos.

Two typical bus in Manila

In this hotel (Queen Center Rotana Suites), there are also German television. Not only that, broadcast all over the world, German wave. The exchange sends in hourly between German, English and Arabic. No, you can also watch the ZDF. The whole has, unfortunately, only a little time lag. I'm not talking about the one hour time difference, so that the evening program begins here only at 21.15 clock instead of 20.15. No, no! That's a lot more interesting. The time delay affects only the sound or picture, even on how you want to see it. The tone has about half a second ahead of the picture. Somehow, the physicists are wrong. Apparently the sound is still faster than light!

Yes dear readers. This time I was pretty lazy. Meanwhile, I'm back in Berlin. But do not worry, the trip goes even further this year. On Sunday (11th) I will fly later to Damascus and from there a few days more to Lahore in Pakistan. Since I neither one nor the other country has ever been I will report from there. It will also give back photos. So simply waits. See you later.
