Riga – The Pearl of the North. Which is true. A weekend trip with my friend. Easy to find our way from the airport to the c ity centre. Exploring the old market place, eating raw and dried fish. Homeless people sleeping on the streets. Otherwise a nice city. Music at every corny. Cosy little […]

But I managed to get home at last. With an awful lot of pictures. .. schon beim Ankommen bemerkt man den seltsamen Geruch, der über der Stadt […]
Medieval Town welcoming me. Fascinating tower & church in the center of the city. Feels like being drawn back in time. Das Mittelalter scheint zum Leben zu kommen. Als ob man einen Zeitreise macht. Faszinierend.
Montpellier – what a surprise. University city with flair. Medieval buildings, amicable people. Laissez faire at its best. Decide to hang around here longer. Was für eine Überraschung: Montpellier. Eine entzückende Universitätsstadt, freundliche Menschen, gutes Essen. Hier könnte man einige Zeit verbringen!

… the grand theatre of Buenos Aires which has been renovated not so long ago. A fake style, but beautiful. With a hidden part where widows would be seated while in mourning. Das Theater Colon in Buenos Aires wurde erst vor kurzem renoviert. Eine Mischung von Stilen, eigentlich ein sehr junger Bau. Interessantes Detail: es […]
… the city of the dead. It´s really a small town. Little houses where the dead are worshipped. Narrow streets where cats find shelter. Eerie. Recoleta. Die Stadt der Toten. Eine richtige Stadt, mit kleinen Häuschen, in denen die Toten wohnen. Und Katzen.
