Summer 2010
Finally, I heard back from LSE regarding the condition to attend summer school. And it’s good news, I don’t have to go to summer school as long as I pass my economics course I am currently taking with at least the letter-grade B. That should be easily possible. That means I will be able to do [...] -
Jobs, Internships, Applications – and Web 2.0
It’s nothing entirely new, definitely nothing surprising: more and more applications are handled over the internet, and increasingly applications for jobs and the like become more innovative and individual. Whether this is a good thing or not lies in the hands of the potential employer and varies from sector to sector and firm to firm. Having [...] -
What Comes Next
It has been almost five months again since I updated my blog. Time simply flies, or in other words I don’t really put so much effort into maintaining this site. Not really sure who still reads this, what kind of information any of my visitors is looking for, well, and more importantly, what kind of [...] -
Climate Change, Policies, and Forest Dwellers. Work in Sri Lanka
So much has happened in the last two months and yet I’m having a really hard time writing something here. My work with UNDP has been very interesting, and it’s becoming more of a routine now, which doesn’t make it less interesting though.

Sri Lanka 7
Just a very brief update: I’m still fine, now in Colombo with some friends and mostly relaxing, meeting up with people, shopping, and of course partying… Nur ein ganz kurzes Update: Mir geht’s immer noch gut, bin jetzt in Colombo mit Freunden und wir relaxen, treffen uns mit Leuten, gehen shoppen, und feiern natuerlich… -
Sri Lanka 6
Friday and Saturday I spent in Hatton, together with Siva, a 2003 ARI Graduate and coordinator of the SewaLanka Plantation Workers Development Centre in Hatton. The centre there does with its limited numbers of permanent staff members (three) an incredible and enormous amount of work, trying to improve the lives of the tea plantations workers. The [...] -
Sri Lanka 5
After I left the SL Training Centre in Kalutara I stayed at the Garden Beach Hotel for two days. I was walking around the beach, talking to fishermen, beggars, and other locals, I went to town and visited an impressive Buddhist temple, in which I found a German tour guide – or rather he found [...] -
Sri Lanka 4
Photos of SRI LANKA 1-5: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/babelfish900/SriLanka This has been a good day. I helped at the SL Training Centre in Kalutara preparing a workshop for locals next week (about sustainable agriculture). I was eating (I have to mention this for this is a major part of my daily life here). I enjoyed how my friends [...]
