Grüezi in Züri
Last night, I left for a short vacation in Switzerland (or maybe I should say: short for me?). The night train took me to Zürich. So I took the opportunity to explore the city for (just under) a day – some 18 years after my first (and so far last) visit. Continue reading Grüezi in Züri

Hundertwasser in Vienna
About five months ago, I visited the Hundertwasser Art Center in Whangarei. Now I am back in Vienna, and the Museum Hundertwasser in the Kunst Haus Wien opened its doors again two weeks ago (after several months of renovation).

5 things I hate about thee(*)
(*) Thailand, etcetera
As enjoyable as traveling in Southeast Asia is, there are some aspects I could also do without. Of course, “hate” may be worded a little drastically here. Also, much of this is not only limited to Southeast Asia, but also affects other tropical and/or less developed regions.
Be that as it may, here is an alphabetical list of things that can sometimes make traveling a bit tedious. Continue reading 5 things I hate about thee(*)
I am back home!
After 18 flights, (roughly) 60 trips with boats and other watercraft, 37 days in a rental car, and more than 250 trips in other means of ground transport (e.g. train, bus, taxi, subway, or bicycle), and travelling almost 44,000 km by air, about 800 km by water, and surely over 10,000 km by land, I have finally returned to Austria. Now, it is time to look back at the high- and lowlights of my trip. Continue reading I am back home!
