I have a dream...
Now, Vogue is putting ideas, more ideas, into my mind! Publishing real books with a real publisher! Now wouldn't that be something? You know a real book, not only an e-book (although there is nothing wrong with that either...) about my little German experience! With photos and drawings and of...

Little note on Low blood pressure
After reading some comments and talking to some coworkers, I realized that, although most people know about High blood pressure, few are aware of the Low blood pressure condition. Probably because in most case it is not life threatening. We measure blood pressure by applying pressure onto the left...

In the fast lane...
It's nice to see that in these days and age of fast lane and violence there are still people who cares about small creatures... On my way back from grocery shopping, going at around a 100km/hr on the north bound highway, I, and 5 other cars in front of me, and countless behind me, had to hit the...

Surprise!
Yesterday went better than I had anticipated: I arrived on time at the court to ask a clerk what I was supposed to do now to have the court order respectes and it went rather well. It turned out that they have technicians there to help people like us with these matters and that someone will call...

A day in Hell
That's going to be one hell of a day: I realised just now that I can not find the passport photos I had left over from the passport proceedures last month, so, I have to go to get one before going to the High Commission. I also have to go to the court first (they open at 9H00) before going for a...

One day at the time
Still on the planing side of the trip: today is a relatively easy day. I just have to talk to my team leader (who has been sick all last week and can barely speak at the moment) about my leave and my vacations, go to the dentist with Son, then Judo, transfer fund from one account to the other (to...

Little details before departure...
Got an e-mail from my Mann: he is now safe and sound "at home" in Australia! We also talk at the phone last night and he seems relieved to be out of polluted China. He was also eager to talk to me about a little detail for my trip to Australia..... Yap, something funny happened to him on his arrival...

It looks like I will have to severe my last link to Germany: my e-mail host has made some changes to its configuration and I can no longer see my e-mail correctly. The only people I have still using that e-mail are people I met in Germany or elsewhere in Europe and a few others from Blogit. So, I...

Going to war!
As we have a house in the country side, surrounded by fields and forests, we are used to see the occasional little creature wanting to make its nest in the wall, the ceiling or even the outside stairs. But now, enough is enough! We have a group of carpenter ants that is trying very hard to make...

Evil eye and adoption
Reading the comments on my last post reminded me of an "incident" my Mann told me about. It happened a long long time ago, in a strange and backward place called Papua-New Guinea... Well, not that long ago, about 50 years maybe? My Mann has two uncles who are twins and both married Papua-New Guinea...
