Majestic And Beautiful - Canada Photos And Travel ReportIt was a Television show, what else, which lead me to Canada in 1997 for the first time. Due South was the reason to travel the TransCanada Highway – from Toronto to Vancouver in 4 weeks.
It was one of those organised travels, in fact a bus-round-trip, well rather a bus-once-through-trip. In order to have a bit more time at Toronto and not to be thrown directly into the group chaos I flew in two days earlier. The Indian taxis driver who brought me from the airport to the hotel was exceptionally courteous and lovely and explained to me what I must see.
At 4 am the following day I awoke; certainly because of excitement and also because of curiosity. Quickly dressed I went down to the lobby to undertake my first scouting trip. That went a bit more extended than I had originally planned. I walked from the hotel for 2 hours with the direction harbour. Toronto ...
The Frenchman and the Ox - Ireland Photos And Travel ReportMy first acquaintance with Ireland was, let's say a bit bumpy. The decision to spend my holidays in Ireland was this time not based on a movie or a television show. I was simply curious.
To make things easier I didn't go by car and two ferries. It would have been too time consuming although I do love ferries. I flew. This also meant that I had to sit on the to me wrong side of the car. Having arrived at the airport I asked the immigration officer to put a stamp into my passport. The disadvantage of the European borderless travel is that you don't get them anymore. That he did gladly and said grinning that I owe him now 5 Euros. Oh dear, this kind of humour I have to get used to.
It was a Vauxhall Meriva I got. I wanted a smaller car but it had four wheels and what has four wheels ...
Fire And Ice - Iceland Photos And Travel ReportIf you are looking for warmth, beaches and lazy leasure time, travelling Iceland is not for you. If you do look for calculated adventures, spectacular landscapes and the simple life, an Iceland travel is a must!
The typical first time tourist tour is along the A1, which is the main road circling the island. The name A1 suggests (at least to German travellers) that it is a big travelling road with many lanes. In fact, the A1 is in parts a small road and sometimes you drive on gravel. If you should want to travel on your own, make sure your rental car is a 4-wheel-drive.
If you want to go off-road, make sure to have a GPS onboard. And rest assured off-road you want to go. Most of the massive waterfalls lie off-road and I was adventurous enough to drive a Toyota Yaris over rock and water.
All over Iceland you can speak English. Everyone ...
Blame it to Billy Boyd - Scotland Photos And Travel ReportIt is August 2002 and I need a massive break from work, a change of tapestry so to speak. Now a nature travel has always been a great stress reliever for me and thus it was natural to do exactly that; a travel to nature. But where to go? And most of all where to go to when you only have 10 days? This planet is simply too big to travel for one lifetime and my list of countries I haven't been to is a real long one.
So I did what I usually do, I let my favourite film/TV series decide. I went through the cast of the LOTR films and looked up where they come from. Now, New Zealand has been on my list since 1985 but I don't want to hurry through there I want to take my time and it's already written in stone that I shall go in 2006. So that ...
Events & Movie Premieres (Photos / Reports):
Paradise on Earth - Asylum Europe: No Rest for the WickedThe weather gods were on our side this time. Had it snow-rained only a couple of days before, on Thursday the sun came out right on time. The convention was held at Bad Neuenahr, which is a SPA town (due to hot thermal springs), small, representing one of those typical German towns placed in the ...

How a bunch of Kiwis corrupted one Canadian - Ring*Con 2009Here it was, my eighth Ring*Con; a Ring*Con which has even more opened up to other fantasy with guests attending from Twilight and Blood Ties. The fear of the Twilight fans was immense and what does human being do when afraid? Right, hit out in all directions. The opening is necessary to keep Ring*Con ...
Don't be shy - Inglorious Basterds PremiereOne would have loved to yell at the German actors. Where a Quentin Tarantino and a Brad Pitt started to write autographs at the furthest away corner of the fan mile and proceeded to methodically work through the line, Daniel Brühl and Til Schweiger were very shy to do so. Mr. Schweiger did autographs on ...
We are not the brightest bunch, we're in Showbiz - FedCon 2009...said a grinning Robert Picardo to me when I stood totally perplexed in front of the elevator and helpful as I am, got involved into their discussion whether they were at the right floor. Going in was impossible. It was packed with actors on the search for the Green Room But let's begin at the beginning. ...
Look! Real Fans - Star Trek PremiereThat saying brought tears of laughter to my face. Would it have come from a child, but nope it came from passing by adult tourists while at that time there was only one row of fans and we weren’t even clad in Star Trek uniforms. I arrived around 1pm at the Sony Center and only a ...
The Cursed 7th Year - Ring*Con 2008Seven Ring*Cons - seven times attended. And although I didn't break a mirror or hadn't seen a black cat crossing my way this time was somehow fishy. My dilemma started on Thursday. Super, the con is at Bonn. You can be at the last minute without problem. As soon as I had arrived at Bonn ...

Aside of the more detailed interpretation you receive when filling in the form above you can also compare your Chinese Signs in the celebrity section and match yourself with your favourite celebrity. Just don't take this too seriously. It's all in good fun and nothing more. A celebrity just like yourself cannot be totally categorized by a star sign.
As long as I can remember I have been mesmerized by Star Sign systems, wisdoms of life and mysteries. Do I believe in them? I'm not quite sure. When it comes to horoscopes I tend to take the good bits and ignore the bad ones.
When it comes to natural believe systems (such as the Native American Wheel of Life, or Buddhism) I am more involved, mainly because nature is very dear to me and it's a great opportunity to evolve as a human being.
I am also very curious and I want to understand what lies beneath those systems, trying to get to the bottom of things, going past the obvious, finding the truth. LOL, sounds like the X-Files.
The latter also makes me crawl through caves, visit anything ancient, climb into tombs and basically follow any sign pointing to any one of those during my travels. It has happened that I made a three hour detour just to visit a celtic grave that was way off the intended travel route.
Some of the things I have learnt I put onto this site such as the Chinese Horoscope and Numerology (for now) where you can already get your signs and meanings calculated. Do I believe those systems define a person? No! I believe that main traits may come with those but a person is shaped by his or her surroundings, by the people they meet and the experiences life brings them and what they make of them.
The Wheel of Life and the Western Zodiac are still in the works and will be uploaded as soon as they are finished. I have also collected a ton of local legends, mysteries and tales during my travels which I shall also put up in the future.
