Vote For Me: democratic scholarship
Dear visitors, I will be starting an MPA degree at the London School of Economics this fall (in about a month)… Unfortunately, the tuition fees are quite high (and about 20,000 Euros a year) and I need every support I can get! That’s why I’ve applied to the democratic scholarship. As part of the notion of ‘democracy’ [...] -
Indonesia and Thaipusam – Some Photos
Photos from Indonesia (Lake Toba, North Sumatra): http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=74553&l=a9aba&id=503192582 Around Lake Toba I could visit my old ARI friends, as well as get the opportunity to help the staff of a centre for disabled people (Hephata) in help to get their things organised (building a database and designing a website), which they really appreciated and thanked me with [...] -
Touching the clouds :)
I just touched the clouds. Literally. My first parachute jump was a fantastic experience. We went on a small airplane 4000 m high, then jumped off it, were then flying and falling for about 40 seconds with a speed of about almost 200 km/h. At an altitude of 1500 m, the parachute opened and we [...] -

A drought which Africa has never seen before. The country is colapsing. The TIMES online calls it the “silent genocide” and you can read about it here [...] -

Hair off!
After another great farewell party for Nate (NATE, I’LL MISS YA!), not enough sleep and some office work, well, after a normal day in ARI, I decided to cut off my hair. Next weekend, in Kyoto… :-) …meanwhile, enjoy music from the Solomons:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aif6X7PcBTo -
Enjooooyyy
Soon it will be time to say good-bye. But still, there is time to enjoy. And that’s what we are doing. The other day, we grabbed a beer, some snacks and visited two of our fellows in mens dorm, Udumulla from Sri Lanka and Jones from the Solomon Islands. Soon, more people joined, always accompanied by enjoyable [...] -
