Yaam Worldpeace Day

We want the immediate stop of all tracing and monitoring! Fight against the consume terror! And for sure WORLDPEACE!



...was the appeal of the Yaam WorldPeaceDay in Berlin. Fuck that was great: Together with Yanif, Agata and Irena we went into the train to Zoologischer Garden to see what the hell is that bunch of costumized people doing... I felt nervous and unsuspecting at the same time.
Anyway, we occupied the train completely. The bass was boosting, we spend kisses and smiles to everyone who wants to get into the train, tried to sell polystyrene letters. To sum up, we collected credits for the world peace. The rules have been very easy:
1. Kiss pedestriants - 1 Point
2. Kiss Police - 10 Points
3. Selling a polystyrene letter - 10 Points
But next to these rules, they have been several tasks which are intended to raise the peoples awareness. So we are supposed to enter the media markt and switch on everything what makes sound, relabeling the H&M clothes price shields to make the sellable for 1.99Euro, protesting for "Tofuschnitzel" inside the McDonnalds and finally show our asses to the direction of the Reichstag.

Finally, i feel something is moving, so letz be part of it!

Back for Good in Warszawa

Weekend was watching for me, so i got magnetized by the capital again. So, finally i got to known very nice places in Praga (The spider and several other bars) in the center near University and somewhere in the south. Ahh, that was the best: On saturday i went to a very great Couchsurf/HC Meeting in Klinika (somewhere in the south, dont ask me how i went there). Nice people from all over the world, but mostly Poles met there for drinks, hot dance and even more, hurrr! Warszawa i can tell you, next year you'll see me again, thats for sure!

Lodz, For God sake!

"Never go to the east of Lodz" kamil told me when he picked me up from the central station in Lodz. "OK, but what should happen?" i asked him twice. "I may not see you again!" he replied emphatically. After he left me i went down east to face the face of Evil, Torture and Death and i survived again, hurrr! Not a bad thing for a German, isnt it?
But what should i do? When i want to visit old friends i have to be confrontated with the area they live in, so i catched up (Ups, i did it again) with Pawel and Magda for dinner and out of the sudden somebody shouted "Pomoce" (Help me!) , cuz he got punched from somebody in the streets. So, pretending to be british citizen again! The next day Kamil invited me for a lift through the woods in Lodz (pronounced like "woods", thats why its so funny) and showed me some crazy (again!) and dangerous bici routes over there. Watch the death road! After that: Big Dinner at Kamils place, the mother ivited me and i eat so much like never before. Uff, full like a bucket i had really problems to move, but i got a lift back to the centre and the guys helped me by carrying me to bed. Next day i left back to Warszawa, looking forward for coming weekend!

Frightened about Warszawa Praga

25 hours of boring traveling and another sleepless night let me arrive in Warszawa. I arrived a little bit tired but Zuzia took me from the station and draged me to a great punk concert in the alternative county Praga, the best welcome to arrive in an unknown city. We drunk heavy beer(heavier than the German one!) and Vodka, burning down the throat again! I really can recommend the area Praga, although i heard a lot of stories about crime and racism (yeah, the Poles don't like the German so much), but speaking english and pretending to be british citizen helped me to survive in areas i walked alone.

Out of the sudden i bumped into Matt Smith, an American guy i met 6 days before in the night train to Beograd. Very nice coincidence! Ania took us to a great milk bar near University and after to a nice bar hidden somewhere in the centre (i woud not find it again,cuz those plazes are not very easy to find). Beers, Talks and people from Spanish Embassy accompanied s for this moment. Great Fun!

City of Dogs, Letz call it BeoGREAT

Some really sunny days welcame me in the city of abandoned dogs Beograde. On my whole track through by all rules sunny countries like Italy and Greece i never had such sunny days like here now. One of the things we did is to rent a bike to cruise through the nice city side, but therefore we had to go to the renting station, which took us a while, 2 heavy guys trying to bicycle on one bike to lake Ada, must have looked like a gay parade... 100.000 people are supposed to hang around that area in summer time, isnt it too much? Anyway after arriving in city centre we got invited to a domestic lunch, AGAIN - oh, i love it! Wanted to stay longer to try all that great food over there and continue smoking pot all days long, but time got me. Eventhough heavy rain was knocking on our door and i felt like: this is the best moment to go to a train to head further. So i left Belgrade in tears to reach the capital of Poland, 25 hours travel lie ahead of me!

Beograd rocks!

I arrived early in the morning with 2 hours postponing. The time here seems to be stopped in Balkan countries. I was waiting to be catched by Nikola as there was a guy out of the sudden who ran at me. In fact i just recognized somebody trying to steel my rucksack, so i jump off and was short before to punch ...as i recognized it was Nikola who suprised me. Uff!

Got to known a lot of friends from Nikola, we hooked up all together, but cooking was one of the things we did a lot. I love that kind of social come together, and actually i think i got some nice kilos extra which will serve my energy consumption for the next couple of days, hoooray!

Beograd is a city i have to get into my heart, i really love to be here. As there is the nice fortress where a lot of young people meet each other. And incredible, young people are so opened here, a lot of them speak English, and you got integrated so quickly. I definitely will come here again and highly recommend this city!

Leaving Athens

Leaving Athens is not as easy for me. Together with Klio and her friends we spend some really great days. When i arrived i was invited to a German movie "Die Welle". After that we crashed into a bar, muchos Rakis (heavy alc made of plumbs, honey and ... i dont want to more what else). Unfortunately i had to skip the idea of not eating meat, at least for a while. In Greece people only eat meat, and in fact its smelling after it everywhere: trains, busses, even in the flats... But, i love it, especially the Gyros is so great over here.

So, from the sightseeing point i was a little bit afraid, yes afraid. Don't wanted to pay 14 Euros to see the Acropolis, thought about climbing over the fences to get inside, in fact there are possibilities, but you should take care, a lot of security may watch U!

Furthermore i got addicted to the great joghurt with sweetest honey inside. Even after eating 3 of them i wanted more!

Anyway, i had to leave, the weather was too shitty. But thanks a lot for the stay Klio, next time we wanna see in New York!

So, when i left, i got into a sleeping wagon, first time, watch my message here:
