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.

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 ..

Smelly rubbish in the middle of Old Town

Could I finally say goodbye today from Dhaka. Thus, the residence is located in the dirtiest, noisiest and most chaotic city behind me, I know. The whole lasted an hour longer than planned because of the flight to Doha was an hour late. The flight lasted 5 ½ hours. I must stay here again, because at present to no more flights Berlin. The mere arrival in Doha was a blessing. It took all of ten minutes from the aircraft door open until I sat in a taxi to the hotel. "Read the rest of the entry ..

Type 1 outlet

Life here is not easy. It begins with things that represent the normal central Europeans really a problem. Where can I get her power for my laptop if I want to publish here what? Somehow the power even to the apartment, but how do I get him out of the wall? "Read the rest of the entry ..

"Normal" Traffic in Dhaka

If you think, "It is no longer worse" is still a possible increase. I was thinking earlier times, after I knew the traffic in Jakarta and Manila, it could not be worse. But that surpasses it here. Even in "normal state". Then, last week agreed the administration of the city to raise the whole yet.

Throughout the city were built in the past traffic lights. In fact, almost every intersection, such a plant. So far, all anyone is interested. The traffic lights have changed indeed busy between red, yellow and green, but traffic was regulated in principle by the police. That worked so reasonably. At least some of the vehicles was based on the police.

Such a throng I'd like to see

On the road again. This time, in Bangladesh , the land of Bengal. Unfortunately I have not had much time to look around here. We work from morning till late evening. Nevertheless, there are already quite a few key impressions. Anyone who believes, to have ever experienced the ultimate traffic chaos, should visit this country. Manila and Jakarta are nothing in comparison. What also catches your eye immediately is the poverty of many people here. But the bustle. Rarely does one see so many people flock to the streets around. It is amazing. This coming weekend there are a few holidays. So we will have the opportunity to look around a bit. It has already told us that we can not work then. At that time there will be more so at the latest reports.
