Wow, just came across an online travel guide for Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. It's available here. Wish I had more time to look at it, but gotta run now. Oh well, I'll be seeing it live in a few hours :-)

Yup, unglaublich aber wahr! Morgen Abend um 9 steig ich in den Thai-Air Flieger der mich zum Ausgangspunkt meines lange ersehnten 4 Monat Südostasien Trips bringt: Bangkok!
So wirklich real kommt es mir noch nicht vor, aber das kann auch an den Malaria Tabletten liegen ;-)
Ich werde diesmal von den Massenemails absehen (weil ich es zudem ja auch bei meiner letzten Reise in Zentralamerika nicht auf die Reihe bekommen habe) und werde euch somit über dieses Travel Blog auf dem Laufenden halten so oft ich kann. Schaut also ab und zu mal hier vorbei wenn ihr neidisch werden wollt ;-)) Natürlich könnt ihr auch wie wild drauf loshacken und eure Kommentare zu meinen Stories los werden! (einfach auf Comment am Ende der Story clicken) Freu mich über jede Nachricht! Oder schreibt mir einfach ne email. Ich werde euch vermissen!
Und für den Fall dass den einen oder anderen die Reiselust packt und Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Kambodia, Vietnam oder die Philippinen auf der Rute liegen, kommt vorbei.

Muss los! Das nächste Lebenszeichen kommt vom anderen Ende der Welt!

Eccolo, il diario di viaggio anche per miei amici Italiani ;-)
Sto per partire allora. Mi basta solo una notte qui in Germania e domani sera alle 9 prenderò il volo per Bangkok per viaggiare nel SudEst d'Asia per 4 mesi! Sono molto agitato. Ancora devo fare la valigia, pero le cose sono quasi pronte e basta solo metterle nello zaino! Comunque sono già abituato, visto che sono quasi tornato poco tempo fa del ultimo viaggio nel Centro America!
Allora, per i prossimi 4 mesi, proverrò di pubblicare ogni tanto storie del mio viaggio, raccontando tutto che mi succederà e tutte queste esperienze che mi aspetteranno. Mi farebbe piacere se ogni tanto fatte un passo su questo sito per leggere gli ultime notizie. Vi invito anche scrivere un commento direttamente su una storia (comment) o mandate mi un messaggio email.
Basta per oggi, devo finire. Allora, vi do tutti un abbraccio fortissimo e spero di leggere vostre notizie durante il mio viaggio!! E soprattutto, siete tutti invitato di raggiungermi per qualcuna settimane del mio viaggio!
Ciao tutti, e mi faccio sentire la prossima volta della Asia!

Of course chaotic and many things to finish!

An overflow of thoughts, feelings and memories from the past week cross my mind. Especially the exceptional farewells last Friday and Saturday and the great time with my friends and family back here in Germany!
It still feels quite unreal that I am about to leave again for another 4 months!! It seems as if I just came back from Central America… But I guess I am ready for another trip J Ready to take off with Thai Air tomorrow night to start off an amazing four months trip to Southeast Asia. Here’s my tentative itinerary:
Starting off in bustling Bangkok I shall head first to Myanmar to explore the unexplored and then calm down meditating with some monks in a Buddhist retreat. Unless the Larium Anti-Malarial renders me too paranoid and I start seeing non-existent monks when I am supposed to concentrate on my breath ;-) After having learnt everything about breathing and having found my absolute self I should be hanging out on some of the world’s nicest islands in Thailand relaxing and diving with hammer and whale sharks! Whenever ready for some more culture, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam are on the list, before I will relax again on the Philippine Islands for the last 3 weeks of my trip! Well, that’s the plan for now, but who knows!! All might turn upside down after one day already! I’m open for anything. And if anyone feels like joining me along this fantastic itinerary for a little while within the next 4 months, go ahead!! You are more than welcome! Just write me an email.
I hope you will check this site from time to time to give me at least some virtual company on my trip. I am surely going to miss all of you, my friends. Drop me a note from time to time and feel free to comment on any of the stories I will publish on this travel blog.

A big hug to all of you! I love you all!
Jihaaaaa.... and now I'm off :-)
