This is done!

My time in Montréal is over and so is this blog.
Now I’m back in Freiburg and my new blog about artsy stuff and stuffy art and music and philososport and teaching is up:
—>>>EARTHLING EXPLORER<<<—
Ich werde von jetzt an dort schreiben, über alles was mich so interessiert und beschäftigt:
Belanglose und gehaltvolle Musik, brotlose Kunst, Philosophie, Sport, [...]

Who the f*#! is „hipster“?

A controversial piece from the new „Adbusters“ that’s been discussed extensively, but maybe some of you haven’t read it yet:
Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization.

Zurück in Deutschland

I’m back in Germany! Got in last week and am spending a couple of days with my family in Pforzheim now. Showing pictures, drinking beer and really good wine from my sister’s boyfriend’s family vineyard (a hilarious place), and preparing my return to Freiburg, which will happen this Saturday, August 16th.
What will happen to this [...]

On the road #5

(Deutsche Version weiter unten…. diesmal wirklich!)
Nanaimo – Port Hardy – Prince Rupert – Juneau
After a spectacular (and loooong) ride through the Inside Passage I arrived in Juneau a week ago. On the ride I saw gray whales, killer whales, pods of dolphins and beautiful mountains and forests. Alaska is big, wild and powerful. I got [...]

On the road #4

(Deutsche Version weiter unten)
Vancouver – Victoria – West Coast Trail – Nanaimo
Continuing good times in Vancouver. We had a party on Nick’s boat with Leah and Nick’s friends which was really fun, especially being picked up on a dock right in downtown Vancouver („Oh, there’s my friend with the snazzy speed boat“). Then I moved [...]

On the road #3

(Deutsche Version weiter unten)
Cawston – Vancouver
Alright, one week of farming. We weedwhacked the hell out of any unwanted plant on the orchard, made some apple juice and pounded posts until our fingers bled (literally, I still couldn’t high five you). On Saturday I went to the market in Vancouver with Kevin (to all Vancouverites: It’s [...]

On the road #2

(Deutsche Version weiter unten)
Toronto – Thunder Bay – Winnipeg – Saskatoon – Calgary – Kelowna – Cawston
Since the last post I travelled 4100 km West. We made it basically through one province every day (except for Ontario, which is just so damn long that we needed two days). We slept in beautiful Provincial Park campgrounds [...]

On the Road #1

(Deutsche Version weiter unten)
Montreal – Toronto
I’m off. The ride to Toronto was fun. We met „Jeremy“ and his huge Chevy Van in some back alley downtown Montreal. He instructed us in a slight Eastern European accent to „buckle up, it’s the law, and pay me inside the car“. We were eleven people of all shades and I felt [...]

Freunde-Update

Mal wieder was neues auf der Freunde-Seite: Hannes schreibt aus Bath, UK. Leicht bekleidete Rugbyspielerinnen, speed endurance sessions und das jüngste Gericht – all das in seinem Bericht.
Also, check out Ben’s picture-story about a midnight bike ride. Absolut Montréal!

Geburtstagsgrüße

I got so many beautiful birthday messages the last two days (stress on beautiful) that I just have to tell you guys (you know who you are!) how happy I am about them. It was more than I deserve.
Ich habe so viele wirklich schöne Geburtstagsgrüße bekommen, ich weiß gar nicht womit ich das verdient habe. [...]
