I grew up in Prague during communism. During that time, one feature of this city of more than a million inhabitants was its near complete evacuation every weekend. All my friends escaped to either a small vacation house, summer cottage or holiday villa. Most social life took place in small villages. On Fridays, the cars would be loaded up, a weekend of parties and dance evenings would follow, and on Sunday, the traffic column would move back in the direction of the capital. Read More »

I have read that in Cambodia in 2011 92% of population had to live on less than 5 francs per day (www.qaundl.com).

Of course, one cannot compare Switzerland with Cambodia in this respect but poverty is everywhere.Read More »

Ich habe gelesen, dass in Kambodscha im Jahr 2011 92% der Bevölkerung mit weniger als 5 Franken pro Tag auskommen müssen (www.qaundl.com). Ich erzählte es meinem Kleinen (bald 9) und wir haben gemeinsam nachgedacht, wie sich so etwas überhaupt machen lässt.‎ Klar, man kann die Schweiz in dieser Hinsicht nicht mit Kambodscha vergleichen, aber Armut gibt es überall.Read More »

The lawyer at the wheel

Thomas was a lawyer and what characterised him best was the trait that he always knew everything better (or at least thought he did) and was always right. For his fellow human beings this was usually annoying and thus Margrit was one of the few who could stand Thomas for a longer time. Read More »

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAA day without moving is a lost day. On those few exceptional days, when I cannot move, I am suffering and usually also the ones around me. Because on those days I am moody, unbearable and simply terrible. It just like with an addiction. If the body does not get its daily ration, chemical processes begin to run, which make me unbearable as a person.Read More »
