... (what a punch line) ...
I'm probably burst.
come home and a plate of delicious carrots transition quasi-potato soup, 1.5 Nesquik Cereal bowls, a plate of pasta Bolognaise and tzatziki and another bowl Schokocereal (!) - Now I feel like a nasty fat bag or with it to say the words of the Gremlins: mjam mjam! could not end
My unending appetite it be established that we were sledding today. By "we" I mean me and Gisella and "carriage" I mean a $ 4.50 plastic mat from Canadian Tire. What I had for a laugh!
Feels 14 years younger I am so toppled dozens of times in the snow and am runtergedüst the short but steep slope. Gisella was the first time in their lives carriage ride (I know ...) and found it but actually stupid. Tzz ... always this winter philistines. No matter: I was soaking wet and very happy end. But they see themselves:
Then there was still Christmas Eve started after the Christmas meeting with the family with a spontaneous stroll on Mont Royal. With super horny weather, I had a lovely view of the snowy Montreal:
Evening cook and then send as much as possible Christmas improvise:
A classic: the "Happy-in-the-camera" Greeting
The best lasagna in the world! After 3 days they had eaten it sometimes.
And then ended Christmas Eve at 3 clock at night with a round of Gremlins. Great!
Otherwise we were yesterday on tour in the NEM Katacombes! The performers include the Sonic Avenues coming to Germany in the spring. Who is on 70s punk, they will love! The shop also like very well and besides trashy skull pillars, especially very cheap beer and nice staff to offer. Very nice.
now remains for me nothing left but to wish you all a happy (so is with you soon so far) and I hope you read in the new year.
the days I had my way, on New Year's probably best of all time last year, think back in Berlin. A kiss to all who were there engaged in some form. Passing by without grooving to here again for the Jahesabschluss Schnuckie with the wrong pool of Mondo Ray:
almost never goes according to plan the life, no matter how carefully one has thought of everything. - Quote from the book 'Forever, your dad'. I love it. Just like this song:
Once you took me in a dream, we walked together along the beach. I saw our two footprints in the sand, they were close to each other. While we went, I saw all the happenings of my life before me, the beautiful and sad. But the whole time, your lane next to me, you walked with me. When I saw a time of sadness and fear, was suddenly only see a trace. I asked you entstetzt: "Where have you been, in the worst time of my life?" You saw me in the eye and said "There, where you only one set of footprints in the sand see, I have carried you!"
It's time we have to go and say goodbye '. We had a great time, but each time is passing by. Looking back and forward. A bit of happiness is born. I take it with and I look forward. The memory I hold her on, i ch hold it here and I Thinking of you. I'll keep them as best I can, b lease just remember! You know who I am and I know how you are u nd what we are - forget 'is not. V ergiss' me, b not lease! It is time to stand up, e s time to be giving up. It's time we have to go, we have to go and say goodbye.
've always firmly believed in turn, are the wirs this together
I will not hold you, I will only say that I am, I will be strong and wait here for you. would go, happy, pursue your goals, this situation will not change how I feel. it hurts but I can understand that you are going, it's hard. Therefore so many tears, I have to get used to remember that you are no longer there are, I are not close, me there can be no more.
maybe you come back one day and then I sit here and wait for you.
in our cold kitchen heated as ever with the stove, cheap drink green tea and somehow can not even really realize that tomorrow is Christmas. That's quite different to being at home. The house is almost empty, Dylan is a few days ago moved out, Tim is in New Hampshire, Alex tomorrow NEN Christmas dinner with family and continues thereafter for a few days to Ottawa - that is just my new roommate, Gisella, which Christmas is not home (Colombia) flies, and I left - (Hörspielmärchenopastimme) were it not so ... were it not for our new Homeboy Rudi (/ Hörspielmärchenopastimme):
Rudi is not a fish Rudi really is and we take care of Christmas. The owner is a friend of Tim's friends and, like everyone here at home over Christmas. I hope Rudi makes it to the beginning of January - I thought yesterday shortly he was dead (he was just bored and angry or so, at least he has hidden at the bottom of plants!).
Gisella and I have recently, in fact Cookies (unfortunately too sweet!) Made. See for yourself:
Here's a little bit of Christmas at home:
And here's a portrait that Gisella has finally carved out some time drinking beer in a minute, not even (yes, This art students):
And last but not least, our Brasilianerwohnunggedächnisküche:
cute, huh?
Achso: there tomorrow by the way a 3 course meal with tomato soup, lasagna and dessert in the way directed by Chef Carsten himself ... well yes it can be something. Hold for the worst case always a few bottles of Australian white wine ready! (May be one of the few bands that extremely much reverb on the snare) have
Finally, it is again The Cure, because it then yes but somehow a great cheesy Christmas Winter Band are:

Today there are six months to the day since I started my journey. Normally, I digress
would probably üpig and let the whole madness again pass in review, but that is beyond the scope at this point because my alarm clock will ring again tomorrow morning at 5:30, it's way too late again and I still a result of my new favorite zombie series The Walking Dead "must see!
The time was in June as previously expected incredibly fast around. It happened so incredibly much, I have so many great people from so many countries made, have traveled with them, got them lived, worked, celebrated laughed and sometimes cried.
I'm glad that there are still so many people read along from home, write me comments and do not forget me. Thank you thank you thank you ... I'm looking forward to no longer even seeing you in so long (?) distance. After all, the Immergutticket is already ordered, so probably the end of May to go back!
In this sense, and the highest reverence: for the next 5.5 months!
I apologize for the bad title. Today I just got mail! Thank you. It looked something like this:
If people want to send me other love something, let them, I send you my address! Otherwise
has now started my weekend. Yay!
this way, the song about the New Pornographers (from Canada) that accompanies me every morning at 6:20 the bus. (The best place to use when at 0:50 the Uhhuuhuuuuhs!)
The association "open-air stage Thurtal" held in summer 2011 at the Wiler Weierwis a huge theater production. It calls for 21 performances with 1000 spectators between 5 August to 10 September found. Planned a large, covered grandstand, a marquee and a theater town than program. What appears at first glance as a very attractive project, also has its downsides: Production is expected to take from late July to mid September, the whole Weierwis. be shut off a safety precaution the area with a fence. Other uses are not possible during this time. We find that the Weierwis the wrong place for this project is. It is by no means a matter of preventing culture, but the expected emissions from the number of visitors, duration of major project and principally the related closure of the site to the public are unacceptable at this location to that extent. The Weierwis is for everyone! The planning application is currently available at City Hall. Until next Thursday 2 December objection can be raised. The Young Greens Wil will avail themselves of this opportunity and hope that the organizers found a more suitable place.

Aloha everyone, I had to call in sick today at work, I should be out of my bed - I after 17.5 hours of sleep now and know by heart - and did not move much anyway update after several days, the blog. What favorable circumstances! Has anyone
"Where Wilen dig the maggots," read? Where protagonist nail for a few marks on the building, in some factories or in the Call Center works! I understand now probably better than ever before as it is a shit job to have. And so my I can not get this "aaargh no desire to work in gelato today." They are compared with the current fun well while working luxury problems.
That would not be the most interesting job I thought so before that, but not only that everything essential is gray and open-plan office esque than I imagined it did - on my first day of training imagine out also that all conditions otherwise are as advertised at the beginning. So look after so I should not people with problems in the online chat, but also received calls from grannies from California, Texas or even Wysconsin who want to stop by calling me orders for any of the 4 trashy mail order, or sometimes a simple talk a bit about their cats (rare ) want rummeckern or (often times).
We do not service shall be and take out orders can not even (to answer questions about the products, track orders / delete / change or stop the catalog to send) is interested, most people do not and so is talking to his mouth fuzzy only to end customers (or in most cases the customer) but then the customer service route. Annoying.
A normal daily routine looks so like this: the alarm rings at 5:45 (yes. .. I know!). Then fast ne Stulle lubricated or six-pack and bought bagels from the bus, the bus I meet then thank God for Connie and Jess (without which I would not know how it should stand there) and get going with our horrible gray and drab office building. Goodbye Sunlight - Hello Neon: Let's go for the next 8 hours in our windowless room. The two hours 7-9 minute pause before the first 15 most are pretty quiet. Grademal a handful of orders come in and sit around the time is bridged with Google Maps. Google is the only Website that works alongside the 4 Mail Order pages. How many times have I been online in rumgecruist Holzwickede or am left via Street View on my way to Henßler house. What a joke. Frühstückchen then there exists a chat to the Connie and Jess and the 15 minutes to chill for 2 seconds to even again. The next 2 hours, then even busier. Since you ordered the hard-working cats pillows, the abysmally ugly dog trailer or even the Christmas tree too overpriced Jumbo peanuts in the collection box. the only chance to see a little daylight - lunch. Mostly, we remain in our taste furnished lounge / dining room. 30 minutes unpaid freedom. As well! the next two hours are not great then unlike the 2 before and after no more than the next 15 minute break, I count the minutes until closing time. good that the whole project will only run until sometime in mid-December, I think I'd long since not even stand it. We could have taken the opportunity to be, but we would then sit in any other project in which we probably sell things over the phone, call people because of dubious polls - or in the aggregate would annoy people. This is again one step under it, harder, earn less and definitely not an option for me! With the goal in mind in mid-December at the latest to have it so it is fairly tolerable. And despite all the non-fun, I can check off as it will ultimately experience. A question still remains: How can people make a life-long?
The positive effect of the whole: the crappy job the more you enjoy your free time. And since I always free from Thursday to Sunday at 3 by 3'm always waiting for me a long weekend of freedom. The best feeling after such a Kackwoche!
the weekend then I have also done a lot: look was attend concerts, bars, house parties on 2 eat (! One of them in nem loft), late night pizza and bad have made music with Tim & Elliott in our basement. A reward for a harsh week.

Otherwise, I hope I'm back tomorrow to have legs, but as times pretty confident. very practical way I'm on the super deal of the weekend Pancakehaarschnitts acted out. I get a Free hair cut for my now Canada wide famous pancakes. Yuchuh ... it will then also have time!
Sun and before the completion Camera Obscura is (as are great because the winds in the chorus ??!!) many kisses and so to my readers:

Hi everyone, now been 6 days now to Montreal here's a short statement on the status of the events. Montreal is primarily one thing: pretty great! know some of you I have already after 2 days in the hostel immediately found an apartment. Although the conditions for Montreal relatively expensive, however, has described test room in the basement. Geil! Tim - the Ami of all the stuff is - is a super guy and next week we have ne first house party, including the basement show here. Otherwise, stay with us for 3 Canadians who are also all very nice and more or less crazy. Before the building was converted into the apartment, it was the way, a sauna club that we have fun features like a shower in the wall in the living room. Although I had prepared myself to a grueling job search went well as everything surprisingly fast. Exactly one (1!) Resume It has taken Zack and I was already set at soner U.S. online mail order company for disabled customers chatting in their orders to help. Well, that may indeed be something. Training starts next Thursday and hopefully my first real working day would be Monday in a week. It should not be too hard work and even if I have to get out early (7 clock is starting work), I am at least finish early in the evening and I can join in one of the many Livemusikpubs. here is the massive and ever oh, this city is a mecca of concerts, pubs, record shops, art, snack facilities and plenty of mad people. I can definitely feel a Berlinvibe. There are ghettos and even Dorgenmafiakriege here .... so the full program. The city is not as clean and modern as Vancouver has for many small streets with cute old two-family houses and a climate that now the beginning of November already something of bitter cold that I most urgent set a very good winter parka needs. We go after all amazingly fast on-to 40C. Ui ui ui. I have my room set up and it went so well repays it is now - after a visit to Ikea - (! And welcoming to me is so very important) much more comfortable than my collection. Nevertheless, not all completely screwed together and hung up so I'll wait to post photos of a few days! That you do not quite come off without images here, but a snapshot of me eating at the Pancake:
Hammer, ne? soon dear Inter net, Xo Carsten Ps There are two famous traditional Bagelbäkereien the 24 / 7 have opened and have ALWAYS incredibly fresh bagels. Warm Sesame Bagel bagels from Fairmont is probably the coolest what people can buy for 70 cents on the world. I now have several times at night 7 blocks back and taken back to me (despite inhuman temperatures!) Just run around with one of those bagel in hand back home. Madness!
Unfortunately, it is true that the pharmaceutical lobby has struck again. From April 2011 the law relating to food supplements and medicinal herbs (THMPD - Traditional Herbal Medical Product Directive) be EU-wide enforcement.
ie:
, which is based on tea blends herbal medicine would probably be deprived of half of the employed there herbs, as there is little "scientific research" in common use local herbs and then without extensive research not approved would get as drugs.
Almost all Chinese and Ayurvedic medicinal plants and a good part of the European medicinal plants to be prohibited by this amendment to the EU and withdrawn from the market.
The reasons are obvious: The pharmaceutical industry would have the natural healing "Checkmate" is set and could take on this growing market for themselves.
Now we are all asked and will not take effect, so that our health does not end up completely in the hands of the pharmaceutical industry.
It is incredible how our basic rights are coming under attack on the freedom of good health and the free choice of treatment to recovery and healing, and our access to the treasures of the forbidden nature of our planet should be - for the benefit of the profits of the poisoner.

A cheap meal in Chinatown later I'm still ouch-ear and I'm broken crutch! Anyway: guck tomorrow I look at the city and above all have first apartment. Yeahy!
Dear Reader, how they are? I'm fine. Vancouver me back. At least temporarily. Why? Now:
After a week in Banff, I had my first interview in a Starbucks in the Safeway supermarket. Seeing that the job situation was very hairy at the times of the season (can you see in the morning to 10 more people than normal customers Resumes distributed in the streets) I was initially happy that someone has at least reported, and I cheerfully booted for Safeway. has arrived since you told me then that I would certainly earn $ 12 an hour, Safeway sets general people but only as a part-time employees. To this was then (and this was probably for me the ausschlagebende reason that it was "Joa and if you here will set, then the beard off, his hair short and in general. " That would then probably Adieu Festival tapes and so I thought: age, never " Now would be a dream job with great people, in a beautiful location, which would have at least paid the rent and the (not exactly cheap) other maintenance, I would have even one probably even me can talk about this dress code Nazi methods, but in artificial light irgendnem supermarket lobby, shit-looking to sell coffee and then to not even have enough money to save a bit of skiing and or party to go, but I am not in Canada! is given that if you're not too crazy (Will not talk every day for months on the new runway) is about skiing, Banff offer in the winter but probably not so many other things added. To this knowledge-rich, with the good feeling I chose the right to have returned to the hostel. There I learned of my new roommate Timon of Flensburg, that he and Tammy wanted to do the next morning on the way towards Lake Louise. The good thing here: Tammy had ne cart. So I decided once again within minutes, but not to stay in Banff and I prefer to first look at the surrounding highlights was so neatly taken leave in the hostel internal pub, grabbed the backpack to 3 clock at night and the next morning after 4 hours of sleep we went early to the hostel parking area. This should then also be the first to the farthest place we did it for the time being, since the rather fucked-farmer's son did not want to start car.
pushing did not help, casually lift up the hood and not, as was therefore needed a jump start helpers. Precisely those we found in a nearby hotel to us very friendly and granted free start. took two hours late, then go to Lake Louise. This might have been the beginning of my preparations for Canada on the list and I was not disappointed. But first things first: arrived in Lake Louise (The "City" means the same) we were told that we can not three clock to the hostel. We decided that is the first hike to start right from the parking lot and after a stop at the overpriced supermarket Touriinfo and off we went to the top of Fairview Mountain. The time we sat in the neck, as we the steep, icy and probably at night with grizzly-frosted path is not planned to do on the way back in the dark. We therefore there raufgehetzt as stupid. When we reached after calming good hour the first plane struck and quite thought "Yay, almost done", we were naturally disappointed and had us over an hour a 30% increase in rock hill up torture. At the end you got to feel the short night but neat time for long periods was not unfortunately. Rarely was a bit stressful in my life! Tammy (the East Frisian is also the first I've met!) Became the Tiger Mountain and was always ahead of us a few feet after hours of us at some point we reached on all fours, climbing the top of the peaks. I was seldom flashed Sun I'll let these pictures speak for themselves:
night I had probably one of the best evenings ever Hostel (!) Sauna, shower, bed. Amazing! was called the next morning to get up early to look at the sunrise at Lake Louise.
It was quite nice but not what to expect after Timon and the ascent to the Little Beehive:
Then another fix walked the Trail of six glaciers and after five hours and finally at car arrived.
It was noon, we had wanted to go to Jasper and the famous Icefieldparkway before us. The route between Lake Louise and Jasper, which is fully packed with crazy attractions landscape such as this one:
In Dark we reached Jasper and settled in the HI hostel. The hostel is pretty old school with a huge dormitory is where you can then listen to the snoring of the other 39 students. As bad as I imagined it did, it was not but then it was only 22 $ / night at least, rather cheap. two days (which of course was moved to sufficiently) and 3 nights flew by. We met a nice Englishman named Josh know, carved pumpkins (second place (!)) And were generally quite fun.
(which is in the middle of us)
Tammy wanted then the next Day early in the morning to Vancouver and I had a choice between a week to spend in Calgary or to drive back to Vancouver and then from there to come to Montreal. Is this even a question? Calgary While I have not seen it all (really all) people say but how boring the town is. I would have to pay the Greyhound and then a week Hostel and would be stuck in a stupid town where you can still do not even something big. However, I knew that I might cause a crash in Vancouver Doddys couch, a few nights in my old apartment to spend cozy, all the good people (which are still here at least) can see again, and for me Montreal to recover (which after 3 weeks, turbulent times is needed again!). bang - I was almost mentally in the car. The next day we are shortly after 7 to go and behold the car started immediately! Fat. It was then a bit frustrating to get past it to anyone Hitchhikingort, because we have used for the tedious hitchhiking even a week and we track are back once just left in a day, but because you realize sometimes what kind of a luxury one set of wheels to have. Timon, we delivered from Whistler, the plane wants to try his luck in the ski season and as we were seeing at 8 clock to slow the rainy skyline of Vancouver, I was overcome after-coming-home feeling. As much as I wanted away from Vancouver at the end, so beautiful it was back to the city purely to stand down and finally in front of my old apartment. Once at the top then I was sooo warm welcome by Doddy and the new roommate and two friends and although I was only 3 weeks away and it even feels a bit like when I had never been away, it was SO great. I was then also convinced that I at least stay until Friday, since then a huge Halloween party on a boat (how decadent) increases what Doddy got through his school cheap tickets. The next flight is half paid before next week Monday so far I'm still a whole week to relax and feel at home. SO great!
Last night we have then carved pumpkins (I'm so so slow in training) and it was great fun! There was also a great reunion with Meals, which was sooo great. The time now is moved and tomorrow I will help her be restored (and even I'm looking forward to - I'm here once a real high grade).
Otherwise is it very comfortable, it's raining outside, I have the heating on, drinking hot chocolate (soy of course) and listen to Frank.
