Conflicts

Wow not easy. Maybe another reason why I am not so happy at the moment.
First of all: I want to be here and in Germany at the same time. I got a bit homesick the last days/weeks and I had to admit that it is not easy to be alone and to have nobody here in person.
On the other hand I want to travel and I want to make all this experiences, see the world.
I just had a several conversations with my Mum and my best friend. They both said this is the experience you make and that they would wonder if everything would be easy. They are right and I am happy to have my family, my girlfriend and my friends who stabilize me whenever I need them.

Making decisions

Maybe you read my last entry. I want to change the duration of my stay and come home earlier. The decision is firm and I am in conversation with my boss. Another idea is to change my circumstances so it gets more comfortable for me. My uncle inspired me to change my days off to Sunday afternoon and Monday. If this gets possible I would have the ability to travel over night and relax more. This sounds very good to me and I will do my best to reach a level where the balance between work and my personal wishes are well.

Nice community

The hostel is a nice place to meet many people from many different cultures. And to make music with all of them. I really enjoy that!
I practice guitar and some people would just sit down and start to listen. Sometimes we are about six or seven people singing and jamming together. Everyone is from a different place like China, Korea, USA, Canada, Taiwan (of course), Malaysia, Hong kong, Singapore... So we started talking and share our stories and  thoughts.
That was the point where I started to think about a "hostel tour" in Taiwan. I just have my backpack and my guitar and travel around the hostels in Taiwan to have a nice time with the people.
Music connects!

Maybe Taiwanese style? An old woman in a wheelchair does not give a fu** and just crosses the road :D

I visited Taipei 101 today. It took one month to get there. I also visited Elephant mountain, but more of that on Friday/Saturday.
Thanks for reading this blog. (I almost got 1500 views…. You are amazing. Tank you!)
As always: feel free to leave your impressions, opinions and ideas below! Maybe you can write what you want to see and I can take photos of it? I want this to get more interactive ;)
See you!

Blogging is about...

Sun Moon Lake Sunrise Hey and hello! I arrived in Germany about two months ago and had a lot of work and organisation to do. But by now I have enough spare time to share all the stories and pictures from the last three months. For me blogging is something like a diary. Moreover it is a way to share my thoughts and moments with you and anyone who wants to read them, I like the freedom of doing this and I really want to catch up writing again. I will try to give an update every week. A few photos and a relating story. Furthermore the stories will have certain labels, where you can find them. Additional there will be other labels for different locations. Example: "story, Asia" or "story, Germany". I hope you are looking forward to this project with the same thrill of anticipation as I do. See you next week! Lukas

About my last days in Asia

The last part of my journey through Asia Penang Again. The sticky and humid air surrounds me and gives me the feeling of being back “home” in Taiwan. But yet different, because now I am in Penang, where I never would have been without a friend of mine, Micha. He went there for one year and told me some nice stories about the people, food and especially the church he worked in. He made me so curious that I booked the flight from Tokyo.  You may ask yourself why I decided to fly such a complicated route. Geographically it makes no sense, but this route is simply the cheapest one. So I landed in Penang and took a bus to Georgetown, the world heritage part of Penang. One difference I recognized immediately was that this country is a Muslim country. The women were wearing headscarves and it was the first time I saw mosques in Asia. On my first day I explored Georgetown and all the beautiful old buildings. The hostel I stayed in was close to a district called “Little ...
