Background: As Europe's largest economy and most populous nation, Germany remains a key member of the continent's economic, political, and defense organizations. European power struggles immersed Germany in two devastating World Wars in the first half of the 20th century and left the country occupied by the victorious Allied powers of the US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union in 1945. With the advent of the Cold War, two German states were formed in 1949: the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR). The democratic FRG embedded itself in key Western economic and security organizations, the EC, which became the EU, and NATO, while the Communist GDR was on the front line of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. The decline of the USSR and the end of the Cold War allowed for German unification in 1990. Since then, Germany has expended considerable funds to bring Eastern productivity and wages up to Western standards. In January 1999, Germany and 10 other EU countries introduced a common European exchange currency, the euro.

13 Days left, then it's off on a ten hour flight to New York! Impossible to concentrate on Christmas and New Year now! I still can't believe we are doing this. Why on earth should somebody go on a road trip through the US, in no more than three weeks, in a minute car, in January? Well the answer is simple really: the flights were cheap. We still need sd-cards, compression stockings, adapters, rain coats and many more... It is freezing cold and snowing madly in the northern hemisphere... I'm getting kind of nervous! Olly is of course relaxed as can [View Full Entry]

Ok I am now in Munich, Germany. I was suppose to go to either Amsterdam or Berlin, although, both places were way to expensive to take a plane or a train from Venice so I am here for a couple days then meeting my cousins brother in law in his home town for a few days then back to Munich for Octoberfest. So basically I am going to test drive this place before me and ryan really lose some brain cells next weekend. Venice was very nice but the place I was staying at was not so good. I was eaten [View Full Entry]

Braunschwein, 30-07-2007. Braunschwein, a fitting name considering all the wild boar I have seen these last couple of days, whole brownish colored families of wild boar foraging in the left-overs of maiz harvested fields, totally unperturbed while I got off my bike on numerous occasions for sketching purposes. Huge flocks of forset sparrows landing on wild pork backs, searching the hairy raw hide for nutricious tics, releaving their hosts off the inevitable evil in a swine's excistence. I brush my teeth and wash my face using the main square's fountain, waiting for the McDonald [View Full Entry]

Somewhere...???...between Magdenburg and Schweinstein, 29-07-2001. It's slowly making sense to me, complete clarity and divine understanding, the result not of years of dedicated Vipassana meditation while pining away in a dusty flea-ridden hamlet in the poor north of the Land of the holy Thais, a sober life style dedicated to self-contemplation, goining into your own mind through the process of creating silence inside your gray computer mass... Where a Thai monk might reach that cherished point with Lord Vipassana at his side, I feel I have reached a strange mental level probably [View Full Entry]

After Greece, I headed to Hannover, Germany, where I was presenting a poster at a conference. The conference was interesting, but since this is a travel blog I won't talk about it. Hannover is a lovely German city - not too big, not too small. It has several historic sights interspersed within the city. The railway station, preserves some of its architecture from the 1800s. The Herrenhausen gardens are a lovely example of baroque gardens - the symmetry and attention to shape is quite fascinating. I also saw the "Nanas by Niki st phalle" which is a piece of modern art [View Full Entry]

Day 18: Thursday, July 9, 2009 BRUSSELS, BELGIUM As mentioned in my last blog, I had wanted to head north to Hannover, Germany from France, but couldn't get on the train I wanted. So last night I headed to Brussels instead. So that's where I find myself this morning. I'd been to Brussels before (twice), so had no desire to explore. My objective now was to get to Hannover, Germany. I stayed at the Capital Brussels (EC Hotel) last night. Nice hotel. If taking train to Brussels, it's a good place to stay. I mainly picked it for it's proximity to [View Full Entry]
