A (Mon)day in the Sahel and: more impressions from Burkina Faso
Leaving Ouagadougou. Dust, all over. A few sad baobabs. Donkey crossing. Bicycles, motor bikes, people on foot. A goat on a rock. It’s grey. Trying to find some hints of my previous Africa experiences. But even the colourful fabrics are covered in the ever present orangebrown dust and seen through the dusty window of the Continue reading

About New York and old friends
You sit in a tiny little café, you sip your overpriced latte and eat your muffin that unexpectedly has raisins in it, and you listen to bits and pieces of the conversations around you. This city is huge. Masses of people incessantly move through the streets. It’s freezing cold. It’s avenues and streets. It’s uptown Continue reading

A sea
A sea, a photo by Laura Spannenberg on Flickr. Back from two wonderful weeks in New York spent laughing, eating, wandering and wondering, talking to strangers, museuming, being impressed, looking up, looking down, looking over.

BerliNotes
Berlin is newer than last time. Loud. Colourful. With lots of U- and S-Bahnen, busses, people. Nobody stands out. You don’t know where to start and you don’t know where you’ll end. And the more you find out, the more you understand. Saturday might be too early. It’s about last September conversations on trees. Thoughts Continue reading

I love doors. Or: About an unsurprisingly unpurple July trip to the Provence
About timeless timetravelling, uncoulourful coulours and a lot of roundabouts. Everything is très français, the vine is lovely, the tourists many, the kids always come in combinations of three, the evenings are chilly, sometimes hot, the lavender had moved from the fields into the stores. We loved. http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurasvs/sets/72157627517149152/with/6079869667/ Continue reading

Randomly thought thoughts in random places – May to August or: „Wie ein kleines Blumenbeet zwischen den Häuserschluchten der Stadt“
Two dresses for one wedding and the clouds, passing. The storm has passed and the sky is clear, as if nothing ever happened. And you wonder, for a moment, if you maybe just imagined it all. In your head. Rain. Grey, clouds. Downpours. If all roads lead to Rome, does it really matter which one Continue reading

The end of this time
On the way to the airport The holiday is over Time flew and still – it felt like way more than just two and a half weeks A lot of travelling Lovely people New faces on the map And old ones Tons and tons of food Mud Old walls and new walls Miles walked New Continue reading

Ramallah_31° 54′ 18″ N 35° 12′ 21″ E
We drive along the wall It’s the first time I see if from so close We cross the checkpoint, we cross unchecked We have yummie food and interesting conversations with a girl none of us had ever met before We end up in a fancy bar Slutty clothes Bad music The most unexpected situations are Continue reading
