two weeks ago, klaus and i arrived here in guatemala and because this webpage had some trouble and i needed to redo all, i did not write much. to make things worse, broke klaus computer two days ago, so we need to share mine. (hi chi! sounds familiar??)

a day in our live is like this: we get up early in the morning at seven and walk to school. we use the 'secret way'. it is passing tiny littlestreets and a big footballfield of a school. klaus always says that in germany the school would be sewed, because the kids pllay football on a rough stoney ground! i really like the atmosphere there and i always crack up laughing about the teams there. the 'football-leagues' contain between 15-20 players each! the secret way is a perfect way to be close to the natives and avoid any kind of tourism.

the school in itself is an oasis, in which one feels comfortble immidiatley. a house surrounded by a garden full of avocado-, clementine-, sweetwood-, lemon- and peachtrees! every pair of teacher and student put there their table and the spanish-lesson is right outside!

my teacher's name is gladys and she is great! she is 23 years old and single mom, a very untypical thing for guatemala, but this fact becomes more and more reality for a lot of women (well girls!!). they meet a man, who tells them anything sweet and nice and promise too much, the girls sleep with them. this takes places untill the girls become pregnant (safer sex and protection is an embaressing subject here!) and the guys vanish in the mist...
if they get to court anyway in most of the cases the girls get told, they have to care for the baby without any support, because the 'poor' guy needs the money for his studies or any other kind of investigation. ahaaa!?? sure!!

gladis works very hard to get her things settled and make sure her son has enough food! this is here even harder than in germany, because of the bad family-image and the poverty in this country.

the four hours spanish per day teach you a lot about habits, culture and politic in guatemala.

i am very impressed how quickly one start to speak in the language although there were no basis before!

after school we go home. our house is a terrarium with a huge amount of funny animals. my favourite are the ants with wings, that eats all the wood. we can proudly present as well three ant-streets and because of a bird's nest in the chimney we have very often birds in our house. maybe the birds fall off their nest. so we have another occupation: birdhunting. stupid things. we want to help them and they are so afraid that they sh...everywhere!

anyways. usually we go in to town , do stuff or we go working out in the pool,if the sun shows up...(she doesn't want to mostly)

last week we went to san pedro. it is a nice boat-trip, on which one can see a 1000 things and people. this village is integrated into a mountain. it is more of a backpacker place and if we stay a little longe i would love to move there. after we saw everything we had nice and easy breakfast with a brilliant view on the lake.

Klaus discovered this village when he climbed with the two american guys, whom we met in school, up the vulcano. i had trouble with diarrhia, so i could not go! i missed a lot and unfortunately it was so exhausting, that klaus doesn't want to go up again. well, my own fault!

last friday we went to the market of solola. we drove with one of those famous chicken busses. it was amazing the market was huge, wild, colorful, full of a thousand scenes and voices. i put some pics online. klaus did some photos secretly, because it is not very welcome here to take photographs of the natives.

tomorrow we will go to the old maya ruin-city tikal and then further to rio dulce. we will sleep in the middle of the jungle. i confess i am a little scared, but i am reallly looking forward to it, too.

that's it for today, klaus says hi aswell!!

Julia:

hi guys! sorry for being slotty with this weblog. well, a lot of things happend till the last entry! we enjoyed our last weeks in moncton. ole had got birthday and we went out to the italian restaurant downtown. it was a very nice evening with all our friends. after organizing the trip to guatemala and all clericals, that came with it, we finally left moncton for good! it was hard, because we made real good friends there, who we're gonna miss a lot.

toronto was awesome. we loved it. klaus managed to rent a hotelroom in the middle of chinatown (chi and ken, you had been missed very much!! we've had great chinese dinner there...) we walked a whole day through this city and EVERYWHERE cars were decorated with flags! (graham, this is football paradise there...well, at least for canadians!)

early in the morning ( i mean EARLY!!!) around 4 h, we arrived at the airport to manage some details with our tickets. because of the rescheduels, we needed to renew the old tickets. we had been told that this can only be done with the company in charge. when it came to our turn, the 'nice' lady shocked me for the first time:

unfortunately my tickets are all cancled! what? someone in germany made a mistake with our new route! great! she was 'kind' enough to renew my flight to guatemala.

i was distracted for a moment, because some other passenger's baggage fell on my foot. ole helped aswell to lift the stuff up. after we turned back to our stewardess in charge, she handed us our old tickets and passports with the nice comment to follow the arrows on the floor to get on with our check in.

what to say: we arrived and had been asked for the boarding passes. boarding passes? did i took them? no, i was attacked by some suitcases. ole was sure not having received any boarding passes at all. he went back and returned after 5 minutes completetly puzzled...the lady told him, she was sure giving us the bp's and we should check our luggage again. she is not permittet to print some tickets again, so if we had lost them it is our own problem not sitting in the plane to guatemala!!!! WHAT?? EXCUSE ME?? we had a long discussion, showing her our baggage almost three times, i felt like a complete idiot. after some time, she told us some kind of annoyed, that there is a chance to fill in an application for ticket losses. (aha, good telling us NOW, because our plane will leave in almost 45 min and we will have a hell of a trip check in with you us guys...!) i was close tears, but in the end she called the supervisior. she, a very competent person, asked me about the trouble and i felt like a customer for the first time! she checked some slide in the check in desk, that can be used as some desktop and SURPRISE, there they were! our tickets. the supervisior rebooked our seats and we enjoyed the flight in first class! i did not recognized anything, because i fell asleep immidiately! klaus will continue now...ttyl!

Julia:


One could think we had arrived in paradise: no mobile phone, no TV, no internet. Sound perfectly idyllic? Note quite – but one step after the other.

Tuesday morning we left Moncton, after 15 weeks instead of 7. Well, Julia has endured it very well. Although Moncton for sure is not the typical destination for your dream holidays, she did find some time to relax from her 5-year non-stop-studies. I have also managed to pass all vital exams, however, I fortunately decided not to continue with the flying for the IFR. Instead, I will return next year and finish everything off in one go.

Although altogether Julia and I were quite motivated to leave for Guatemala to learn Spanish for the next couple of weeks, we both did have a hard time leaving the Team-1790 members behind. We were so lucky to get to know all of the guys and we will never forget the taco/fajita/scrabble-nights (in fact, first thing we did in Toronto was buying a travel-scrabble), the hiking trips and of course the legendary worldcup matches at Mooser’s Pub. Well, the kayaking sunburn fades and the fingers don’t smell of lobster from our last night’s dinner and Canada is far behind – so all that’s left is to hope to see them all again in future years somewhere in Schottland, England, Canada Germany or Hongkong.

After recovering from the good-bye-tears, we both very much enjoyed our short stop-over in Toronto-Chinatown. We liked the City instantly, it has that certain flair about it. It just feels right. A lot less US-american than expected and a lot more cosmopolitan than Montreal, strangely. Here are some tips for people that plan a stay in the near future:

Central Hotel, basic but in the heart of Chinatown, very cheap and good for long term stays.

Asia Legend, a nice China restaurant where you will get excellent dumplings instead of plastic tablecloths.

Illy Café at the art school, delicious crèpes-variation and the best Italian coffee served in a tiny backyard. Frank Gehry is building the new Art School on the other side of the street.

After our low-key accomodation in Toronto – which we had to leave shortly after 3 o'clock in the morning anyway – we chose a house somewhat more luxurious for our first night in Guatemala City to relax from the stressful first-class flights. No kidding, apart from that first class bit, the US-Airways treatment was anything but polite, to say the least. However, the hotel proved to be the right choice. A nice colonial-style building tucked away on a mountain side overlooking the city and the volcano it was just the right place to enjoy some soulfood.

It was shortly after hitting the road to our first destination Panajachel at the legendary beautiful Lago Atitlan that it was getting obvious that things have changed quite a bit over the past 12 years, when I was here for the first time. The roads have been improved noticably, the number of cars has exploded and so has the number of tourists, as travel has become so much easier since you are not relying on the colourful but slow, jampacked and smelly chicken-busses. For sure we have not been here long enough to make a final judgement, but we both felt a little sad and ashamed when we were taking a walk through the streets of Panajachel these days. This is not what you would call gentle tourism. This is the surge of the money brought into the area first by the ever increasing stream of lonely-planet-pilgrims which are now being replaced by 100,000$-SUV-equipped upperclass tourists. However, even if standardised t-shirts are being sold on every corner, just as they are in Bali or Thailand, it seems like the lake has yet been saved from mass-tourism-hotel-towers on the shore by its climate, which might be too mild.

Was this the dream of those Mayas returning to their homeland from exile in Mexico in the mid 90s? Looking at the toothless old indian woman, having to hardsell selfmade camisas to young white gringos in the cafes of Pana makes us feel sad, guilty and ashamed of being part of it all. However, we did have a very warm welcome in the spanish-school and we are looking forward to taking the classes from tomorrow. So time will tell, if we will settle in and stay longer or not.

Ole:

After finishing my written tests for the European Privat Pilot’s license, we had a week full of visitors. First, my parents came from Toronto and I took them on a hiking trip to Fundy National Park – of course without leaving out the railroad museum on the way ; ). Just after they had left for Cape Breton Island the day after, my friend an ex-instructor Michael came over from Quebec on short notice. We had a lot to talk about and in the evening he offered me a flight to Charlottetown in his Piper Aztech Twin which I happily accepted.

The day after Michael left, my parents came back and the weather finally was nice. So I could enjoy a beautiful sunset flight with my father and his enthusiastic reports pursuaded my mother to also give it a try the next morning. We flew along the coast of Fundy Bay at low tide and saw Confederation Bridge disappear halfway into thick low level clouds. Great views. She did indeed enjoy it and was not frightened at all, even when we almost hit a careless pheasant that was crossing the runway just after we touched down.

On Saturday night, I took my father on a long cross-country to Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. He was flying the aircraft almost all the way, which gave me time to concentrate on the radio work. After getting an impression of an uncontrolled aerodrome in Waterville, he then witnessed a busy tower controller in Moncton. We had 6 aircraft on approach, when we were coming in 2 jets, 1 turboprop and 3 diamonds. Felt a bit like Frankfurt Main.

Now we are about to depart to Halifax to pick up Susie at the airport and indulge in some nice Japanese food tonight – before I have to go back to my dull aviation literature again for the next days. Susie has been home for the second time now, because her twin training could not proceed as planned. However, apparently her interview in England went well and she has got that Amy-Johnson-Scholarship. Congratulations!



10.05.:

The reason why you haven’t read anything for the past couple of weeks is, that nothing particularly thrilling has happened here. However, a little something we can tell.

Julia and I have celebrated our one-year anniversary the other night. And doing so, we have discovered what could very well be the most recommendable restaurant in Moncton: The Pastalli. And Julia decided that after one year she wanted a personality change, so she got a perm, no, not what you think, a perm reversed. It is all straight now. Looks very cute though, I must say! I have no clue how it works, but I like it.

Some good news I can tell from at home. My working colleagues from MBB Industries have managed an very successful Initial Public Offer in a record breaking time. I am very happy for them and I keep my fingers crossed for their future success.

I wish, I could tell similar things about my engagement in the European Academy in Bonn. But everything I hear from there is gloomy. First it was major cut backs in public funding, now they are talking about a retroactive seizure of tax-exemption. That means in other words that on the little money they are still willing to pay for political education, we will now have to pay sales tax. That is what I call a cynics’ idea of compensation. Well, I guess in times of unpopular decisions the last thing that the ruling politicians need are well informed and critical citizens.

To be safe from suffocating from news like that or from tedious aviation books, I decided to go on a walk with Graham and Marc yesterday. They are both working on their JAA Commercial Pilot’s License. We drove to Fundy National Park (where is that? Google-Earth) and where very fortunate with the weather. The forecasted thunderstorms waited to occur until we where home safely. During the hike, the sun did a good job on making us wet, though: by making us sweat. After reaching our final destination, Graham decided to take a more direct route straight through the river we were following – which resulted in a totally drenched Graham shortly after. Apparently he enjoyed that!? Marc and I rather decided to rely on the evaporation of our body fluids for cooling effects. Here is my recommendation: for people who like hiking in a lonely natural environment, Fundy National Park is well worth a trip.

So, what else is going on in the world? The most thrilling news I have heard of during the past days were the Iranian Euro-oil- exchange, the announced Venezuelan Euro-oil- exchange (followed by the US weapons embargo against Venezuela) and the announced Russian Rubel-oil-exchange. Things are moving on the grand chessboard.

And one more important thing I have found: whoever is interested in what our new archenemy no. 1 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said in original terms should have a look at the translation on this website.

01.05.:

Ole:

The weather is good, everything is good. Well, not quite, as you can take from Julias report on her breathing problems. Thank god, they seem to be over for the time being. I think, at this very moment she is lying sunbathing on the roof in front of Chi’s window. Some guys have all the luck…

At Chi’s website at you can read about other mouth-watering events of the past days…

As you know, last week I have started my Multi-Engine-Rating. Well, two books, 250 questions, eight hours of instruction and 3 hours of flight-test later, I now officially hold the license to fly multi-engine-aircraft since Friday. However, I won’t be stupid enough to use it. Those things are fast indeed, but the eat gas like no tomorrow. The tanks of the Seminole hold more than 400 litres but that only gives you a range of 5 hours at 240 – 310 km/h. I rather prefer the Diamond, it cruises at only 180 – 250 km/h but therefore it only takes 16 litres/hour instead of 80.

To celebrate the day, I went on a beautiful late evening sight-seeing flight around the coast of Prince Edward Island. Although it was late and smooth, Julia still didn’t fancy the bumps that occurred every once in a while. It was interesting to see how mach less complex the Diamond is compared to the Seminole. The only disadvantage (or thrill) it has is, that it only has one engine that keeps you up there. This is especially nasty over bodies of water or during night flights – as emergency landings are quite hard to carry out. With a twin-engine you will still be able to fly if one engine quits. Not very pleasant, but a lot safer.

On our flight around Cape Breton Island yesterday, Suzie and I were overtaken by a four-engine Aurora on a training flight from Greenwood. They could fly at 500 feet over the water whereas we had to enjoy the panorama from a save 3500 feet. Which didn’t really spoil the fun of it, though.

My next step will be 10 hours of instrument simulator to get used to all the procedures of instrument flying. Whoever is interested in that and for those who still have to learn the stuff, here is a website that is well worth a look, if you want to understand how the basic radio navigation aids are working.


28.04.:

Ole:

If you were wondering, what was going during this week, just have a look at this satellite pic – that will save me from lamenting. Cloud base 0 feet agl for 6 days.


This afternoon we had a little sun for the first time – and there was much rejoicing!!! The low has moved on for now, but it is already crapping out again from the west. So if you guys have bad weather at home and need a little cheer up, always have a look at this satellite animation.

I bet, you will always see that the weather in Canada is even worse.
So basically those were the perfect conditions for learning such suspenseful stuff as:

- the Emergency-Procedures for the Piper Seminole,
- the Emergency-Procedures for the Diamond Eclipse,
- European Radio-Procedures,
- European Air-Law
- Radio-Navigation
- Meteorology
- IFR-Flightplanning
- IFR-Procedures

Well, in spite of all that thrill – every once in a while I did need a short distraction. So for all of you who dig flying, I have put together a selection of the best I have found on the web. All you need is a little time and a fast connection...

Who wants to know, why I love flying, what I would want to do in an aircraft and why I am not sad, that I did not become an airline pilot: aerobatics at its best

If you think that was boring, check this out: bridge fly through, rock fly through, you name it…

Or this, a nice trailer for an airshow in Russia (I guess)

The best flying I have seen so far – a MIG29 demonstration. Don’t forget to reduce your volume.

Compared to that, what we do looks quite ridiculous.
If you are afraid of flying and look for arguments why, watch this! Or that!

A more maritime display: Russian aircraft carrier and cruiser ops. Have your sickbag handy and watch those landings…

If that was all to militaristic here is something political – but also for all fans of the Beatles and John Lennon.

If you are not so much into flying, of course there are other addictive ‘hobbies’ – trust me, I know what I am talking about: British Sports Cars – most well presented by TopGear.

TopGear about the Lotus Exige 190.
TopGear about the Lotus Exige 190 with the STIG.

For whom that is not enough: Lotus Exige 240R and also this!

who still needs worse: TopGear on the TVR Sagaris.

but the ultimate: TopGear on the Ariel ATOM supercharged.

for a funny comparison: TopGear on the Porsche Cayman, (they call it Cockster).

Or TopGear about the “Gadget that ends all Gadgets”, The Carver.

and this is for all who are disappointed after spending 100 grand for a Super-SUV, but most of all for Chi Ahdont: THE alternative for your Hummer!


27.04.:

Julia:

well, well, well...too bad! ole and I missed writing for weeks now. we are truely sorry for that...what happend? actually nothing very special. we've had 10 days the worst weather. it was that kind of weather that let you stay in bed. just not going up. i would have enjoyed it a lot if there had not been my asthmatic kind of breath taking something. it went two days on and disappeared suddenly, but only to return two days later. one night it got so bad, that i asked ole last sunday to go with me to the hospital, to check on me and to get a prescription for any kind of puffer.

after they checked on my like pulse and oxigen in blood in the very beginning, we waited about seven and a half HOURS!!! ole, who hates any kind of doctors and hospitals, felt really uncomfortable. finally it ended up that he ran out of patience and went to the front-desk to tell the nurse in charge, that he is no longer willing to wait. he tried to explain them, that it is not we don not understand about priorities, but it is about the fact that they could have told us in the very beginning, that i am not that seriously injured so they submitted us an appointment for the next day. we would have appreciated that! but instead they let us wait for such a long time. the guy next to the nurse told klaus, he saw us kissing (to correct him: ONE kiss on klaus' cheek!) so it seemed not be that bad with my breathing-problem....! AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

after a three-minute-visit of the doctor in charge, a breathing test and another fifteen minute wait i finally got my prescription.

i am better now and that's why i went climbing with chi today. there is this clmbing wall at a university in frederickson. it was my very first time and it was really fun! my arms feel so sore right now that i really hope, they won't be even worse tomorrow...;-)

chi did an awesome job there! seriously: i was so impressed that i could not stop watching him climbing. i wish i would be as practised as he is...


Julia:

Here is something, that is very important to Ole.

09.04.

Ole:

So what’s new?

Well, on our first flight together, our Diamond didn’t want to start – so we had to call it off. Anyway, last Friday the premiere finally took place and we flew to Waterville together. Julia was most amused about me kissing my microphone all the time – and she is right, it really looks quite moronic, doesn’t it?

In Waterville things hadn’t change a whole lot and we had a good time meeting Gay and Dave there. My former instructor Michael had left the company end of last year. He is now flying a turboprop King Air somewhere into the snowy regions of northern Canada and loves it.

I am currently sitting over a bunch of flightplans as he has invited us to visit him in Dolbeau, Quebec at his parents house. Hopefully this will happen next weekend, if the weather is fine for two days in a row and if they let me have a plane overnight. It’s quite a long trip and thus requires quite a bit of planning. (All those of you who know about flying can skip the next bit – I will just try and explain what flightplanning is all about for the non aviators ;)) )

See, flying is a bit different from driving a car. You have this third dimension and you want to make sure that you touch down in the two-dimensional world exactly where you want that to happen. So you don’t just hop in and start flying around. What’s the saying: Proper preparation prevents poor performance (thanks Max!) and so you have to answer a lot of questions:
Which track do you want to follow on the map? What is the corresponding compass heading? What is the minimum safe altitude for the route? What distances do you cover at what airspeed at what altitude? Which landmarks are there to use as a navigation aid? Which airports are alongside the route, which radio-frequencies will you have to use, what are possible alternative airports to land and to refuel? And so forth...

Then, before you enter the aircraft you have to take into account the current weather conditions. If they are fine, then it is most important to calculate the effects of head-/tail- and crosswinds on your headings and times enroute. It is only then that you can be sure to make the trip with the given amount of fuel aboard. As I am a lazy bastard, I have written a little programme that does these calculations for me, so I don’t have to rewrite the whole plan each time the weather changes.

Once airborne the planning doesn’t stop. No. Stop grinning big time. We are not here for the fun of it. You have to constantly carry on checking the accuracy of the plan in order to prevent any unpleasant surprise at the end of the trip. Sort of like ‘controlling’ if you wish. Just like in the real world. When the wind is blowing into your face a lot stronger than you expected, well you better rethink your entire plan.

Well, enough of the nerdy techy talk. Julia’s going to pick on me again, I guess.

So to think of something else then flying all the time, we decided to take a short sightseeing trip to Nova Scotia two days ago. We drove all the way to Cape Breton Island just to find out that it seems totally deserted before the summer season starts end of May. We could hardly find an accommodation but where finally lucky to get a nice little cabin right on the shore in Chéticamp. It was quite cosy and after four weeks of dormitory life we enjoyed it pretty much.

The next morning we began to follow the Cabot Trail, a famous coastal road that crosses the Cape Breton Highlands. In the rainy weather those barren highlands actually looked quite a lot like Scotland, with low clouds blowing across the hilltops sometimes concealing our path. And it was a bit like we expected: Not a single Café along the more than 200km drive that offered a cozy shelter to enjoy the sometimes spectacular views onto the shores and cliffs with a steaming coffee. Not even a single Tim Horton’s!!! And the weather was not very inviting to substitute the café with an outdoor picnic.

So we drove all along the trail which also takes you alongside the vast Bras d’Or Lake. Here supposedly a lot of foreigners have bought property and built their summer homes, definitely a nice place to do so, I have to admit. Well, in the evening we were back in Moncton, which greeted us with a beautiful red sunset.

PS: To all of you, who are not completely absorbed by your everyday life and still care about the world we are all living in, I would like to recommend to books in the forefront of the looming Iran conflict and the soccer world championship in Germany:

1. The 9/11 Commission Report – Final report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon The United States
2. The 9/11 Commission Report – Omissions and Distortions by David Ray Griffin, Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology, Claremont School of Theology, California

The Commission Report is the official Truth about the order of events on 9/11 which have changed the world so dramatically after the fall of the Berlin Wall. You can use this book just to browse, to be amuse, to be amazed and to be angry. It is in any case the basis to deal with the matter and furthermore to discuss it.

The most thorough, comprehensive and intelligent critique of this report comes from Professor David Ray Griffin – at least to my knowledge. After reading his analysis, especially those who believe in the mainstream-media-version (and after the lecture of the report the official version) of the events will start to rethink their beliefs. As believing most of us have to, because we will not have the means to know about what happened on that very day, which nevertheless affects us to the utmost. So before manifesting a believe, this book offers a splendid opportunity to challenge ones own premises.


31.03.

Julia:

Finally!!!! We did it! Today was the day of days. Ole and I got up in the air together and it was awesome! I loved it! We went with the plane to waterville and visited some pals of his old school. In the next few weeks we would love to do one trip to Quebec, to see another good friend there. Maybe we can manage an overnight trip. we'll see!

Yesterday we've been down the same road, emily and euan told us. remember? That one that is so scary? It is!!! I was really glad when we got back to civilization! Emily, here is a new word in german: gruselig! (means scary!)

Aaaaaaaaaand: Chi passed his flight-test! Yeah!!


30.03.

Ole:

Well, it had to be Grand Manan Island yesterday, I am terribly sorry Euan, I really am. Perfect day and perfect flight that was. Did not touch down, though, could not establish radio contact. Maybe next time.

The night before I went up the coast to Tracadie, also very beautiful flight. Since nobody wanted to fly with me, I took an unknown passenger with me, an artist from Moncton, who just asked if he could join anybody on a solo nightflight. Well, it was nice talking to somebody, got quite some interesting insights into Canadian Maritime Culture. On my statement, that I have never seen a complete nation defining itself by a fast food chain, he replied that the Tim Horton’s brainwashing - which apparently only happened over the past few years -was one of the most shaming aspects of Canadian Culture for him but also a very meaningful one: The whole nation is content with terrible coffee, sweet donuts, sloppy soups and flavourless sandwiches. Rrrrrroll ‘em up!

Had some rock ‘n roll the other night also: was out on a flight to PEI with Chi as co-pilot when the weather at Moncton suddenly changed and the bloody airport wrapped itself in a thick layer of cloud that started at 700 feet. No VFR. We decided to fly back from PEI and give it a shot, but only after 50 Minutes of orbiting in area three we caught a glimpse of the airport and requested special VFR. We managed to sneak through that window of opportunity and touched down about an hour late with a little ice on the wings. That was my flight into colour-code blue – one to remember.

Tomorrow is Chi's big day - he will have his PPL flight test, so keep your fingers crossed for him!


25.03.

Julia:

yesterday the weather was aewsome here. it was that sunny and warm , that people kind of freaked out: they wore t-shirts and some put on their shorts. well, seems like spring finally made it. chi and I went on a party yesterday. josé turned 25 so we joined his birthdayparty. it was kind of funny, but not even the way i use to celebrate private parties. we usually have a room to dance, a room to chill and kitchen and hall are the areas to talk! here it seems to be important to get really drunken. we left at 11 h pm, because chi had a flight at six o clock this morning.

tonight is movie-time, so i have to get ready...
