There is currently much discussion about the United States’ actions in Venezuela, which is a highly controversial topic and raises geopolitical questions about the global balance of power. The kidnapping of President Maduro in Venezuela, with repeated reference to the Monroe Doctrine, does not make Venezuela the first victim of this doctrine. The occupation of …
I have been in Tequisquiapan for 10 days now, which means that tomorrow at this time, it will be the longest period I have spent in the same place since August began. Five months full of exciting events, although the first half of the year was already very exciting. Now I live here alone in …
When we are born, we are all artists. Every one of us. We are free to create the kind of world in which we choose to life. And we are equal in that freedom. John Andrew Rice Thanks Josh.
A new article was published yesterday:Das Göttliche Weibliche PDF “Schnee von gestern!” german saying (snow of yesterday) = old news/nobody cares about it! = “kalter Kaffe!” (another one) Mexico and a white Christmas really don’t go together, even though many efforts are made. I’ve even seen actual Snow – 5000m above sealevel, but it’s there …
Recently, on the phone, my father pointed out the irony that I never did my homework at school and now I voluntarily write texts and have them corrected. I replied that it was a bit different, because here I can write about whatever I want and whatever interests me. One reason why I didn’t find …
Liebe Grüße aus Merida in Yucatan: Es ist so weit mein Artikel über Haiti ist erschienen. Rebellen der Karibik
You haven’t been able to read much new stuff here in the last few days. One of the reasons for this is that over the last few weeks, I have been recording and giving interviews on various topics. In Haiti, Paul* & I recorded an interview for Jon’s Podcast (Latin America Correspondent) that I highly recommend you …
The recent weeks were filled with countless impressions. Twenty-one days full of never before experiences. About a week ago, I caught the blues. The second part of Haiti will have to wait a while, and I’ll bring you up to speed for now. A lot has happened. After spending a few more days in Little …
Today is our eighth day in Haiti. There has been a lot to see and experience, but above all, there is a lot to report. We have made the most of the last few days to gather material, talk to local people and make new contacts. As a result, writing here has taken a back …
A few days have passed and the longest period of time in Haiti is already behind us. It’s one of those days when nothing seems to go right. I’m being held up and distracted by little things, which hasn’t been the case for a long time. Well, these days happen, and it doesn’t help to …
We spent the night at the airport so as not to miss our flight to Cap Haitien. I have had very little sleep and done a lot of research. We board the plane at 7 a.m. and will land in Haiti at 9.30 a.m., where we will be able to see for ourselves. International media …
After spending our first night in a cheap hotel in Miami Beach, we headed to Little Haiti as quickly as possible. A neighbourhood where English is by no means the most widely spoken language. Small, colourful houses with large gardens stand next to undeveloped plots of land where chickens roam freely and occasionally stray onto …
When one embarks on a journey… My nature definitely does not lean toward structure and order. I cope quite well with this in everyday life, not least because I am quite aware of my strengths and weaknesses. Or rather, my weaknesses. I use the term weaknesses not because I myself perceive these characteristics as weaknesses, …
Logbook entry 10.11. over the Atlantic Ode to naivety At this moment, I find myself somewhere between continents and time. 1,374 kilometres from Miami, at -49°C and a cruising speed of 793 km/h, we have left the Bermuda Triangle behind us in the last half hour. The next place on the mainland would be Washington …
Encounters and Zeitgeist: Prologue: In this blog, I would like to record and process what happens to me in my life, because it has become too much to keep track of on my own. Encounters and Zeitgeist — these are the two aspects I want to focus on. In a lecture Johannes Stüttgen gave on …
