Broken Black Capillaries On Lips

Reim

hooola amigos!

I still have the right built a new little video. You can even see the beach where I camped, and some penguins and sea lions. Have fun;)

Now I have another nice poem by my sister, I just published:

Dear Fabi! 27/08/2008
I will write a poem now, even if it is not in English. Maybe you encouraged the little rhyme, and you can find my Dichterei very fine. Before it quite nicely for many days, the Fabi is left here in Sulmingen. Of course, he has thrown a farewell party, but I had to miss it unfortunately. In Ulm, he then climbed into the train, because had booked a flight. Travel bag, snowboard and backpack was his luggage, the only well that he geschäckt with the 20kg. The delay of the German railway was almost fatal to him, but he ran with heavy luggage, which was no obstacle for him. After the long flight over the Andes, he could finally land in Chile. Arrived in Santiago the metropolis, he had the cold of the Southern Hemisphere already almost full. And many a blunder at home based in his field blocked him at the airport the same access to money. Soon trips were on the daily schedule on the top, and so got to know the right Fabi smog. To escape the smog of the city, one sees drag you into the vale nevado.
With rich Chileans do you see there the tracks clear, and there are also in the deep snow of the real star. His course in Santiago coming to an end, the question remains whether he can now English in no time. Soon Fabi is ready for the move, and has for its webside no time. Because he must move to Valparaiso, true to his goal. The apartment search is to relax a real stressful task, so the weekend is a real trip to her again. He is now traveling to 12 foreign students in the neighborhood where you can again experience something exciting. The Cajon del Maipo, it has done to them, and so are migration and full of powder on the plan. As each of us do now facing, you're hot in Chile again only adventure. At the University you will study now soon, and posing in the lunch break on the nearby beach. I could now write long so on, but then I would have to suffer quite early tomorrow ... (it is very late)
Do a good time, and be ready at all fun.

Although this is already a while ago, and now I've also done one or the other, but since the Chilean post office is probably not the most reliable, I've only just received the poem by electronic means. Many thanks to the author;)

Regards
Fabi

How Much Is A John Deere 2010 Tractor Worth

Mendoza Valle de Elqui

hooolaa amigos!

What do you feel?
I returned from my short vacation. On Monday morning I was in fact set off by bus to the north. After a few hours drive
have I let myself then sell the bus on the highway and walked the remaining mile to the beach. Because some still available to university, had to be somewhere else, travels or travel were still on, I was first alone.


I then pitched my tent on the beach. Super nice the beach there. (Only in Chile on the beach - so do not tell grandma) Have verbacht then on Tuesday to complete reading a book and lazy and lying on the beach.

After another night on the beach where I've hardly slept because the waves were really really loud, I'm me again the 5 km to the motorway highly tormented and am there to come to La Serena to me with some other to meet exchange students (15 in total!) We had a cabana in the Valle del Elqui rent to stay there until Sunday. So we took the bus to get to the valley.
have arrived at our first accommodation we found that we had made a super fabulous collection. We had our very own pool and were in the middle of a small village of 5 houses in the mountains. When we had settled the Colectivo in the said road, we thought at the start have been that we have somehow lost, because this really could be no accommodation for us .....

From here we have it made in the next few days, all excursions. In the Valle del Elqui, the whole grapes are grown that you need to produce the Pisco (Chilean brandy without which nothing goes to ... the drink here all in all possible variations, pure, Pisco Sour, Pisco Cola, etc) Of course, why are all the distilleries located here in the valley and we have seen it and bought are stronger Pisco .

We have also reached the last populated corners of the valley and have made a trip with horses. Was not bad, although my Caballo something tranquilo was, and I could barely run to animate.

As a little north of La Serena, the "Reserva Nacional de Pinguino de Humboldt" is, of course we had stands there. It is about 3 islands in the Pacific where all sorts of birds . Live (Of course, a lot of penguins) So we are set off with a small fishing boat and have found a variety of birds. Some pictures of it is available from the photo album.

And because we had the dolphins Sauglück have it here, our boats are accompanied. That was really, really impressive. There were good and like the 20 dolphins swimming with the boats and jumped repeatedly from the water. Sometimes also very close to the small boat, so you could see them really well and it seemed as if they jump to your hand from the water. Take pictures was unfortunately correct schwieirig because they're pretty quick and every time you press the shutter button, they are back on . Dive

On one of the islands, we could then spend 1 hour and we were able to date the most beautiful beach in Chile enjoy I've seen so far.

(There probably is no better) Overall, it was again a great week in Chile. The group of 16 people got on great and every morning we could enjoy the pool and every evening the Pisco, we had bought in bulk.

are rights such as getting a new photo album of the week and also an updated travel map. So I hope
liked reading;)

Best regards to Germany

Who Is Pinky Married To?



Hi everybody!

As you may have read. I was the last long weekend in Mendoza. A town in Argentina on the other side of the Andes. We have therefore set on Thursday evening in the bus and were then on Friday at 6 clock Mendoza.
There we first had breakfast and made us to search for a hostel. Unfortunately was not easy, because the tour group had grown to 10 people.

Mendoza is actually a very beautiful city. There is plenty of space and big city close nearby. The streets are wide and all over every single one! single road on the left and right Wed fitted a plane all. Therefore, the city appears, with its many places even more like a green forest.


As in Mendoza, the sun always shines, is the most famous Argentine wine country. Of course we could not miss it and therefore have a day to explore by bicycle the surrounding vineyards and also tried one or two of wine.

As Mendoza at the foot of the Andes is suitable, it is also pretty good for adventure trips that are offered here in the city on every corner:




As in Argentina, a little was güsntiger as in Europe, we thought we finally have to fly with such a glider. We are thus driven a Jeep harsträubende a winding track up the mountain near Mendoza and then again in 30 minutes to fly down. Of course you could also take pictures during the flight and see in the distance the city from above.



also was previously clear that we absolutely wanted to go rafting. We then decided on a 3-hour rafting trip on the Rio Mendoza. Again we are so
rode a bus this time in the mountains. Us with wetsuits, helmets and life jackets can be fitted and have plunged into the white water. Because in the mountains, unfortunately, nothing was seen of the sun and the water ice cold ice water was each had of course been another 10 min cold hands and feet. But our guide had forbidden us to say that it was cold, because otherwise everyone would be paid later, a round of beer. So we were paddled hard and have to warm up. After 3 hours I could not feel my legs more than we really wanted to get out of the boat had completely given up the leg muscles of the mind. In the following hot shower, was no longer remember whether it is now acted to warm or cold water.

On Monday we were still a little way into the city. But had closed for a holiday all the shops, we decided to have us go to the zoo. A few
Bilder davon und einige andere gibts im neuen Fotoalbum rechts.

Außerdem habe ich mir ein neues Feature für die Seite überlegt. Rechts gibt es jetzt eine Südamerikakarte zu sehen. Wenn ihr draufklickt, könnt ihr jeweils sehen wo ich schon war und was für Wege ich zurückgelegt habt, so dass ihr es euch ein bischen besser vorstellen könnt.


Am Mittwoch, war wie ihr vielleicht mitbekommen habt WM Qualifikation. Und es spielte Chile - Argentinien. Da wir noch glücklicherweise Tickets ergattert hatten konnten wir einem historischen chilenischen Fußballwunder beiwohnen. Chile hat zum ersten Mal seit 30 Jahren gegen Argentinien gewonnen. 1:0 und das auch noch verdient. Da this course had to be celebrated then, we let fly our Rückfahrbus and have the next morning, set following the Annual Celebration, in the first bus to Valparaiso.


Today, I went again, came the second time now, for surfing. The waves were way too big, so it was a nearly impossible to get out and I swallowed more salt water than I liked. However, I've caught one or the other shaft. The water is freezing cold, of course, as expected, but paddling with neoprene and is there any permanent problems. So you see I

had an eventful last week. The next week is Uni-frei und daher werde ich morgen zu einer neuen Reise aufbrechen....Der nächste Reisebericht kommt also bestimmt.

Beste Grüße

How To Get Trailer Licence In Ontario

Spring! Chilenisch

Hallo alle zusammen!
Wie gehts euch?

Nach einer Woche hartem studieren....

im Garten bei angenehmen Temperaturen....ja das studieren ist hier wirklich nicht so einfach, weil man ständig abgelenkt wird, von Sachen die viel besser! sind als lernen (surfen, carrete, strand, sonne, musik, reisen.... um nur ein paar wenige zu nennen)....außerdem fällt das auswendiglernen auf Spanisch noch schwerer als auf Deutsch...Natürlich hab ich heute meine Prüfung vorher hinter mich gebracht..... dacher hab ich mir jetzt einen Kurzurlaub verdient.

In einer Stunde fährt mein Nachtbus nach Argentinien.

Vorher wollte ich aber noch einige Fotos vom Haus zeigen. Man sieht es wird langsam Frühling!



Aussicht aus meinem Zimmerfenster.....


...naja mit 5-fach Zoom der Kamera zumindest ;)
Das ist dann das was man wirklich sieht.


Und die obligatorische Blüte darf nicht fehlen. Diesmal weis ich sogar, dass es sich um Rosen handelt die gerade Blühen!

Also ich wünsch euch ein schönes Wochenende!
Bis then

Kriminalität

The much looked on without proper answers, with terrifying statistics and eternal suffering!
I want to write any academic paper, decorate nothing worse, or eternal and quote statistics, but simply tell from my experiences.

crime is everywhere here in SA. You can hear more from us in Cape Town in general assume that Jo'burg is the stronghold and you really should not even go there on foot, but here it is blatantly so.
Car Hijackings are not as widespread as in Johannesburg, but she high car theft in Cape Town:
short anecdote to Hillsong visit: there's always Praisereport in which God is thanked for something in the past week: one was to:
"My car 2nd got stolen last week and we prayed for it to be found again. This week it was found again, so praise god, and now it even has tainted (darkened) windows! " So funny
WORKS but more likely not to!


I myself have 95% of my time feel safe here. I live in Obs what THAT quarter for junge weiße Ausländer ist, und nachts gibt's auf der Kneipenstraße Security. Ich muss immer durch ne Bahnunterführung nach hause, allerdings mache ich ja viel mit Leuten aus meinem haus, daher bin ich nicht oft allein.
Aber ne Freundin ist gerade diese Woche in diesem Bahnuntergang überfallen worden, um 8:30uhr morgens, und hat dabei ihren Rucksack mit Laptop und Camera geklaut bekommen (aber versichert).
Jetzt schreien einige Leser auf: Wie dumm die Sachen mitzunehmen! Nunja, eigentlich nicht, und irgendwie schon. Unterwegs mit dem Zug oder zu Fuß muss man damit rechnen überfallen zu werden, aber es ist eben doch nicht so alltäglich dass man es wirklich wahrhaben will: und gerade wir deutschen gelten anscheinend as a very "stubborn" to include over this fear then only at home.

given everything: to get into my house I have to open the front gate, which we do not complete but really, because it's super annoying and otherwise känmen the burglar's plot on anyway if they wanted. The screen door at our front door and back door is always locked and the back door provided with NEM bars.
on the lock on the wooden front door, I was finally pissed, so I kicked the door, and Zack, it was open. So when the screen door is not, then you are very relaxed in there. But we close our doors and still down, and
when I go into the kitchen to get water glass mir'n I close the window and the criminals are quite fast with access through the window, or get sich'n Stock order the sneakers, cameras, etc. rauszuholen while you are away 1min .

be a friend of mine at night, always be mobile to in order to be fast, and I, well, got it anyway to always know me so:)

I have no worries about crime, often run with my camera and by the townships, but always accompanied by nem local, so I think to non-attacks: but the locals are also attacked more often, so ... Well, I have God on my side and our system of government ger in the back, von daher hab ich nich viel Schiss VIEL zu verlieren: denn auch wenn die Mörderrate in SA bei 50Morden pro Tag liegt, fühl ich mich trotzdem "sicher".

Jetzt noch der Hammer zu Schluß:
Holländer war in ner Bar in der Innenstadt, wurd super Müde, ging nach hause und legte sich in Boxershorts und T-shirt pennen. Aufgewacht ist er ohne igrendetwas zu haben, außer seinem Bett, der Decker und eben besagtem T-shirt mit Boxer: der Rest: Schränke, Klamotten, Rucksack,... wurde KOMPLETT ausgeräumt. Wahrscheinlich hatte er was in sein Glas getan bekommen, denn sonst wird man ja eigentlich von ner Ausräumaktion wach.

Graduating Dentist Cover Letter

Autokauf in 1min

Ello (or whatever it is written) is ne French student who is working here for 6 months with 18 year old kids: has au crass good stories, but we'll, no issue here.

you fährt'n old Ford Saphire was the only scrap as they went in easily: for R14.000 (1200 €) purchased funktionierte die Hupe nicht, die Blinker waren außer Funktion, Tankanzeige und Umdrehungsmesser gehen nicht, und wenn man das Fenster falsch anfasste, fiel es einfach runter.
Der Motor lief ok, starten klappte i.d.R. auch nach 5sek-Starter halten, und nur das Lenkrad machte wirkliche Sorgen als sie es nach viel (normalerweise normalen) rappeln plötzlich während der Fahrt Slapstick-mäßig in der Hand hielt und ihrer Beifahrerin ängstlich zeigte, dass es vom Auto "abgegangen" war.

Dieses Auto will sie nun loswerden kurz vor dem verlassen von SA und verkaufen. Sie hat vieles repariert und eigentlich geht jetzt alles gut. Es hat sogar Radio und verbraucht im guten Durchschnitt (also so 8-10l auf 100km).

One of my female field workers would like to buy a car for her son, so that he can earn as a taxi driver's money so I have to take back and forth a date for the two to concerted.

The son and brother of the fieldwork was with Erin, "because familiar with cars," she said. Ello showed the car from the outside, opened the door and pointed to the last broken out put in the engine room, but they repaired yet.
The brother and the Field Work Erin agreed to buy it on.
That was just 1 minute after seeing the car. No questions, no motor starting, no test drive, it might not even have looked into the engine room when Ello which does not Error would have wanted to show that NIX was just looked at, except the color.
So either know the two are really with cars from sooooooo great, or well ...

Autobahn ist für alle da

Yes, that's true home here:
Every day one must watch on the freeways via 4 or 6 lanes (with center block) crossing people to run over (the miscalculate sometimes, unfortunately, really great at the speed of our Beatles).
cyclists take the well paved Standtreifen in leads or even the opposite direction and exits will brennslich's just.
mini-bus taxis stop at the exit strip to unload passengers, and not just runterzumüssen of the freeway. Driving Style is under all pig: any space is utilized and the lights flare up frequently because you have to get full so fast in the city and empty (out in the morning from the city) quickly to the customers back, then bring in the money.
articles about driving style's even ne stark story of the Main Road:
Saturday we have seen one that was with about 10-15 passengers on the page, because it's been driven apparently by nem big bus, I bet it was the fault of the crazy mini -bus-driver 's: for when someone calls on the roadside, he / she wants to, is carved on the brakes and then turned on the hazard warning lights, so does that as a descendant Santander motorists really good responses (and actually ne power steering).
Have my driving style but have adjusted and am au not as friendly German here: I know where you prefer the right lane or where love left takes to quickly get through, and the horn I love already in D-Land, but here goes hard a day without at least once FAT push on it: beautiful!
day I was a little too fast, jumped traffic lights to red, and I'm honking through the intersection, following the example of my fellow human beings here. provides

The police's but au not as close to the colors, if containing a car comes, they go nunmal:) I've got it myself but have not dared directly to make before their eyes, but are STOP signs here, too often rather than Yield- Schilder:

MANN WIRD DAS HART, SICH WIEDER UMZUGEWÖHNEN IN D-LAND!!!

Häuserbau im Township

Vati habe ich schonmal erwähnt, sie ist meine Lieblingsfieldworkerin, mit der ich am meisten zeit (außerhalb des Offices) verbringe. Sie hat's ziemlich drauf, und könnte voll die business frau werden, mit noch mehr Training.
Ich werd euch auch mal Ihre Lebensgeschichte (zu Mindest'n Teil) hier Posten, aber bsi dahin erstmal ihre Häuschenbau geschichte (Fotos folgen hoffentlich bald):

Vatiswa (Vati) floh nach Cape Town und kam in dem Township Nyanga unter. Sie wohnte "zur Miete" in nem Haus und hatte dort ihr Bett. Um 1986 herum bewarb sie sich um ein Haus.
1994 bekam sie schonmal then assigned a plot of land on which they could at least build schonmal ne hut.
2006, then approved the money, because ALL are South African citizens (currently) R29.000 (= 2600 €) for a 42m ².
by the State is paid by it:
- Most of the material: windows, doors, roofing, cement outside, bottom inside of it, architects content (1 Arichtekt!); Sanitation access, bathtub (or shower?) And enter WC
"own contribution" Even you have to :
- Electric facility, a large part of wages, cement inside if you will, roof interior, and containing complete interior
If you größeres Haus ahben will, so wie Vati mit 52m² legt man Geld oben drauf (sie hat nun insgesamt noch R10.000 (=900€) draufbezahlt für Vergrößerung & Eigenanteil)
- R65 (=6€) für einen Sack Zement (kein Plan mehr wieviel kg)
- R3o0 (=28€) für eine Kleinlasterladung Sand (3Stück hat sie gebraucht)
- ...

Das Geld vom Staat bekommt man aber (zum Glück) nicht ausgehändigt, sondern man muss jemanden finden der einem das haus baut: Materialien, Leute,... ranschafft: dem überträgt man den Auftrag und der holt das Geld ab, bzw. bezahlt alle Rechnungen davon.

Ihr gehört nun das Haus, was was completed in October 2007.
During the construction work had to have their off 6 kids (2 are his own sons, the other from late brother & sister) to come and neighbors, and they lived In a little (I guess from looking at her) 5m ² hut for this one year construction period .

OR AS SHORT SLOT:
There are people in the townships who have specialized in building huts, and where one of R2.500 (220 €) ne 5m ² hut gets delivered, which can then build Ikea Low: only Tools are not included, and whether there's ne instructions, I do not au, but the walls are just prepared and daher einfach aufstellen, zusammenhämmern und Dach drauf: könnt euch also vorstellen wie das Ding bei Sturm hält, und auch bei Kälte, Hitze und Schall "isoliert".

Von ner anderen Fieldworkerin (Joyce) aus Khayelitsha habe ich gehört, dass man ein Haus nur genehmigt bekommt, wenn man einen festen Job hat, denn man muss den dafür aufzunehmenden Kredit zurückzahlen, aber dieses Statement wurde mir leider (noch) nicht genauer erklärt, daher weiß ich's nicht mit der Geschichte von Vati einzuordnen.

The Best Currencies To Invest In

Kosten, Gehälter und die Armut

Hier geb ich mal'n kleinen Überblick über meine Erfahrungen ganz allgemein zu Geld, Förderungen, usw. in Kapstadt:
1 Euro (1€) sind ungefähr 11Rand (R11), also bei meinen Rand Preisen einfach das Komma einen nach links schieben und ihr seid so halb beim Euro-preis ;)

Als normaler Intern/Touri wie ich's bin, kommt man so mit R120-200 (10-18€) pro Einkauf für ne Woche gut hin (im Spar oder Pick n' Pay).
Die Townshipper (wie ich sie jetzt mal nenne) gehen da eher zu Shoprite, welches aber nich unbedingt günstiger ist.
Toastbrot = R6,50 (60ct) ; 1l Milch R7 (65ct) ; Doritos = 80ct Yeah! ; Nutella 300gr Glas R24 =2,20€, Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Allerdings kommen die Township-people für'n Mittagessen mit R5-15 (0,50-1,30€) aus, wo ich usually stands at more like R15-30, even if non-paying R50. Where
here with me in the Township Office Place has someone his own business and sold fish with rice and salad for R15, or hammer Toatsbrotsandwiches for R5, 50, so I do come sometimes in the more favorable experience.

The presence of nem train driver of the Metro Line is here in the month at R12000 (€ 1000), for whatever reason, that a police officer allegedly just about it.
in my office started as employees first so with R7000 (650 €) per month.

A taxi driver in the township (also unofficially: runs throughout the day with his "Kaka Lake" (ie, scrap truck) up and down and collecting Leute ein) verdient am Tag zwischen R100 und R400, allerdings "muss" er eigentlich alles Geld an den Autobesitzer (denn meist is er nur der Fahrer) abdrücken und bekommt dann 25% der Tageseinnahmen. -->daher bleiben solche Aufgaben häufig innerhalb der Familie, so dass die Besitzer/in nicht über's Ohr gehauen wird.

Vor jedem großen Supermarkt oder vor ner Offiziellen Behörde sitzen Plastik-, Bonbon-, Radio-, ect.- Verkäufer mit gutem importierten China billig Zeug :) (Naja, manches is au local, aber wie viel, weiß ich nicht). So ein Bonbon verkäufer der an nem richtig guten Punkt sitzt (und bei dem man nicht wusste wie er seine Waren bekam) hat am Montag seine Wocheneinnahmen auf die Bank worn and often executed because R10.000 done: crass, ne? Unthinkable.

BUT
that's just (I think at the moment but rather) the exception: many no start-up capital to pay school fees, buy clothes, provide many children and neighbors, unemployment is over 40%, and sheet metal huts or "timber" huts in which to show some living, that they have no money or spend it is completely false!
I am currently very torn in my opinion of the people I've met in the townships:
most of those I know are very smart in more detail, know how to make good business and economic good with their money so I can see where no acute poverty, but as they save a lot of money, in that they live in the township.

BUT then there's just too many people I've only visited briefly 5min, and where I know it is not easy: if you 20m in nem ² house + Ner 8m ² cottage behind the house with 14Familienmitgliedern (of which keiner'n job has (some yes au children live), which for me is stark poverty

A ride on the unofficial taxi for about 5km R5-10, according to "weather" mood of the driver:) For me ne way tickets in nem normal Taxi (which I only affect safety suppose) from R8 per km, but also R12, if man'n car will have, where you feel OK, too.
minibus taxi during the day R5, 50, and at night a little more, local train (that Metro Line) R5, 50 for first class, I always get sold, but it is often not attached to the train then:)

cinema costs R22, 50 on Tuesdays in the largest cinema chain, and there is R29 at the waterfront every day. Films are the way au somewhat earlier than ours:) are
coffee's open to R12-16 und'n lunch or dinner in the restaurant with drinks already for R50, but of course to the top without end, as in many large cities.
National Reserve Entrance fees (if applicable) are between R50 and R100, thus fully OK for what you get offered as standard hammer.

Joa, that's saying as far as times from here
like: I can see how some really rake in coal and good, have nice sound systems in the house and nice couches, kitchens and Tupperware, and exactly in the same street, or on the other side Cabins are having are the ne mattress in there, which is located completely through, and perhaps also with water soaked because the rain again by's "umbrella" comes from.
