And to the people who haven’t met me yet:this is really about YOU. BecauseContinue reading “…and I’m writing a book”

Today I read…

28.09.2025

Photo: @ghiblifacts I have seen this photo many times. But only today that I really understand it. I finally have the courage to run away from everything that makes me miserable and that everything is my thoughts… That one day is today. Thanks me for realizing this and living this! Still, it needs more thanContinue reading “28.09.2025”

Tejeda

In my last blog “Changes,” I wrote this “When I write another blog, I guess that is when I am already in my new home making my way to a new start, to accomplish more things and write more blogs of course 😀” I think the situation is exactly like that now. Well, this mightContinue reading “Tejeda”

Changes

Yesterday as I was walking home from my “new home” (yes, I am moving to a new place), I saw a student carrying a big oven and he was out of breath… He stopped, took one deep breath and lifted the oven which was on the ground then tried to run as fast as possibleContinue reading “Changes”

Es ist nur ein Tag in meinem Leben

06/01/2022 Dieser Morgen ist für mich ein besonderer Morgen, weil ich um 7 Uhr aufgestanden bin. Ich bin schon lang nicht mehr so früh aufgestanden.

Die erste Frage, dieContinue reading “Es ist nur ein Tag in meinem Leben”

Florence – city of artisans…

My friend once asked me how I looked for places to go when I traveled to a city. I said I would usually go to a bookstore and grab a travel guidebook for references. You might think I am too old-school but yes, that is my main resource. Lately, my friend introduced me to aContinue reading “Florence – city of artisans…”

Amsterdam… and my friend texted me, “So, which are the coolest coffee shops?”

After around three years of living in Germany, I am now accustomed to the coffee flavors here. Coming from Vietnam – a country famous for its strong and dark coffee, it takes some time for me to really appreciate the European taste of coffee. There is a huge difference between Arabica beans and Robusta beansContinue reading “Amsterdam… and my friend texted me, “So, which are the coolest coffee shops?””
