How I do my blog

Technical stuff

Within the first six weeks I didn’t changed much. I used the Blogger editor on the Internet and wasn’t really thinking about what to write. I just let go.
For my Photos I used my iPad mini. But I bought a new mobile phone here with a better camera, so I am using that now. Only for panorama pictures I use the iPad, because iOS offers the best option for that.
I make a choice of the best photos and upload them to Google drive. From there I download the photos on my laptop to insert the pictures more easily.
I never got into HTML deeply so I am not really able to use a really good template on my blog. But I changed to use an Editor on my laptop to insert tables and get the photos in a better way to display on the blog.
The editor I use is Windows Live Writer. Maybe not the best tool, but it is okay for my needs.
Now to the interesting part:

How I choose my topic

Choosing a topic to write about got more complicated for me within the last four weeks. In the beginning it was very easy and the ideas came. But at some point I didn’t want to write that much. I wanted to focus more on the things I do in Taiwan, than always have in mind what to write about next Saturday. I also worried a lot about time. Thoughts like: “I have to write” crossed my mind daily. Until  I decided to write more whenever I feel so. This is my blog and this blog should be something nice and passionate. Writing something came to another level and now it is easier for me.
Finding a topic is still not very easy. Sometimes there is a special experience I want to share with you. But sometimes I don’t have a specific idea what to write about. I don’t want to write just something. I want to provide a good perspective on the things I do and the feelings I have.
Concluding, behind this blog are a lot of thoughts and personal ideas.

Let me know what do you want to know. A special blog entry about my work or travelling, friends, spare time, nature, city, nightlife, night markets… There is a lot to write about.

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 ...
