It is time to talk about the positive sides of the new, and now only, airport of the Germanys capital city. My musings while traveling through this airport triggered this new blog's creation. Arriving at the airport when trying to catch a plane or arriving at the airport on my return flights made me wonder... Continue Reading →
A go-around is an aborted landing of an aircraft. This can happen while still in the air or after touch-down. I had the chance to be part of multiple go-arounds, and I really like it. The very moment you hear the engines roar up, feel the engine's thrust, listen to the change of sounds and... Continue Reading →
The title is slightly misleading because the “summer” started in April and will last until December. After more than two years of rescheduling and cancellation, concerts are back. The first concert I visited was in 2021 in Manchester at Heaton Park. The New Order open-air was a unique experience for me. We were all used... Continue Reading →
My first intercontinental travel after two years led me to Orange County, California. Broadening the perspective has been so lacking. I didn't realize that until I arrived in Irvine. The journey itself was a little exhausting. The entry into the USA was easier than expected. In all the years I have never experienced that there... Continue Reading →

The Futurium describes itself as "Futurium is a House of Futures. Here, everything revolves around the question: how do we want to live?" Naturally, you visit such a place with high expectations. To cut the story short, the Futurium does not meet the self-claimed goal. I visited the Futurium in October 2021 and was more... Continue Reading →
When you arrive late at BER Airport you are literally lost when you prefer to use public transport. Using a taxi from the airport to the city is very expensive. I consider a late arrival a flight that is put on-block at 22:15 or later. Today the situation was worse. Two train platforms were closed.... Continue Reading →
Today’s travel from BER to DUS started with some excitement. After leaving the FEX train and using the escalators up to the departures level I saw crowds of people and a vast presence of Police personal. It turned out that the security area was emptied and all already checked passengers had to pass the security... Continue Reading →
