In the meanwhile …
Once upon a time I made a promise here on this blog: I promised to resume my activities, post photos and stories of my travels (it seems that since then I have actually removed that post). Well, like with many promises it’s not always that simple to keep them. Especially with facebook making it so easy to share photos, it has been too tempting to neglect this blog and instead simply upload some photos on facebook. And too much has been happening to catch up on all the stories now at once. Add the fact that I am currently on a lager trip that wants to be reported, too.
To shorten the wait until I finally manage to post up-to-date stories, I decided to present a few highlights of the last years with links to the according facebook albums, one every day. And I promise hope that after that I will be able to provide updates about the current trip.

Daily madness in Taiwan
A few weeks back I flew from Korea straight to Taiwan where I’m based in Hsinchu. Funny enough it’s the exact same city I went to during my masters theses about three years ago OMG time’s flying, it has been four years already!
Usually I’m staying at the Sol Hotel which is conveniantly located right downtown.
Six months in South Korea
Initially they said three weeks, then six. Six weeks turned into three months and eventually I ended up staying in South Korea for half a year. An exciting time and in some ways for sure eye-opening – which in my opinion holds true for whenever you live as a stranger in a strange land for a while. I’m now going to try and shed some light on my personal experience with the country and its people as well as provide some general information.
