Sernf river. Ancient time people walked this road to get in and out of the valley. Some returned, some never have seen since. Old time Swiss export article Nr.1 used to be soldiers and economy refugees. How time changes...
My favorite way to the neighbor town is cobered with fallen leaves. Looks nice, but one has to be careful not step on a stone or small gaps. The winter is waiting just behind the corner.
C u my office. The weather is fine, I packed everything (too much), I feel fine. It's good day to start traveling. My Sapporo condo is waiting for me. The first I stopover in Singapore. Fly my kite in Malacca. Then to Tokyo. I will arrive Sapporo on 3. June by ferry boat "Sunflower Sapporo" 14000T bathtub. Back Switzerland on my daughter's birthday in 3 months. Let's go!
Start packing. This time my trip brings me to Singapore, from there to Malacca, back to Singapore then to Tokyo. Singapore-Tokyo by United Airlines Boeing 777-200 and ZRH-FRA-SIN by Lufthansa Boeing 747-400, they are going to be replaced soon by Airbus 380 and Boeing 747-800 models. Jumbo Jet was an excellent plane, elegant to look at and smooth in air. By the way my luggage is filled with drawing papers and colour tubes. What a hell... heavy!
Time to go Sapporo and start to draw. I am so ready to work on my latest book project. Gee, hopefully Eyjafjallajokull get quitet. Lucky I have Lufthansa ticket over Frankfurt to Singapore. If it were on British Airways.... volcano ash plus 20 days cabin personal strike! Kill me!
Apple blooms in garden. When my daughter is born we planted. Every fall we harvest a plenty of apples. Sour sweet old type Swiss table apple Elster. Tonight I cook lamb filet with asparagus in Sate peanuts sauce. Serve with Thai perfumed rice and salad.
Volcano ash clouds forces some GB and Irish airports to be closed until Tuesday. Not again! The EU authority however gave 5 days prognoses for Icelandic volcano activity and middle part of Europe will be cleared from Wednesday for 1 week or so due to Azores high pressure. I am not expecting any trouble for my flight on next Sunday ZRH-FRA-SIN with Lufthansa. Marlion, here I come!
Shooting in BKK. There is one iron promise in army: Never shoot own people. Once this rule is broken I consider the land is in Civil war. Maybe this is pre-birth pain for true democracy Thailand has to pay just like we had to pay 100 years ago. Next civil war I see in China. See, already adults are killing helpless ki...ndergarten kids. This is same schema as Thai army AK67s kill civil protesters. Are they all right? Think about BKK friends.
