23 June 2024, day #11/19, Sydney reloaded
Had a long day out in the fresh air. First golf and later a very long sunset walk around Bangaroo, Millers Point, and The Rocks. Sunset is at about 17:30 given that it’s winter here. And earlier on this afternoon, I met Kev as in Kevin, as in someone I went to school with when Read more

I slept like a baby last night. Finally, some quality-shut-eye. Woke up asking myself three questions: What time is it? Where am I? What am I doing today? But first, what did I do last night? My evening started with the most impressive dance performance I have ever seen: Horizon by the Bangarra Dance Theater Read more

After a very bumpy flight from Singapore, I made it to Sydney this morning. It has rained all day. And when I say rain, I mean RAIN. Unbelievable. It didn’t stop me from taking a walk, though. Hyde Park, close to my hotel, and home to St. Mary’s Cathedral. And plenty of flora and fauna Read more

Today was an early start. I wasn’t feeling amazing (no idea why) and ventured out on a pre-booked bike tour around some of the districts in Singapore, nonetheless. It was well worth it, despite the rain. I saw so much. The guide was very entertaining. Taking a bike around a city you don’t know is Read more

Finally had a good night’s sleep, but not sure whether it was down to the beer, the gin, or the fact that I walked 2,5 kms back to the hotel yesterday evening! No matter, it worked. It’s time to move onto leg two of my trip. Six nights in Malaysia came and went. Selamat tinggal Read more

Woke up with sore legs this morning! But that hill was so worth it. Apparently, the snake I saw wriggle away is deadly. Oh. One bite, und tschüss. Visited B. Braun’s Malaysian site today. It’s huge. Had meetings with lovely people. Everyone was so friendly. The APAC region is unique within itself. Let’s see what Read more

18 June 2024, day #6/19, The bridges
Bridges fascinate me. For many reasons. But particularly because they are constructed to provide passage, where it might otherwise be difficult or impossible. The nature of the terrain, the function of the bridge, and the materials used all come together to create structures that can be seen from far far away. The Penang Bridge (the Read more

17 June 2024, day #5/19, part #8
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say! Today was a good day. Stayed local, i.e. at the hotel. Worked a lot. Got shit done. Took a walk, … saw a monkey! Read more
