FRANKFURT AM MAIN
2007-09-30 19:36:00 ON THE WAY TO KOBLENZ - DECEMBER 2005I was in Frankfurt many times, mostly to attend meetings at the European Monetary Institute or at its successor, the European Central Bank (to see how unsure was the building of such a body, at least from an American perspective, just read Allan Greenspan's preface to his book «The Age of Turbulence»).This time, the reason to go was much more sympathetic: Our daughter, while we were in Bali, moved to Germany to spend one semester at the WHU (Wissenschaftliche Hochschule für Unternehmensführung ) - Otto-Beisheim School of Management. The move, by the end of August 2005, was due to the Erasmus Programme, a programme to encourage and support academic mobility of higher education students within the European Union. The WHU has its basis in Vallendar, a small village by the Rhine, quite near to Koblenz, and Di?s stay gave rise to her blog ? Bloguendar! (Amazingly enough, the WHU has an Executive MBA Programme together with the Kellogg School of Manag...

GOODBYE BALI
2007-09-23 12:37:00 NUSA DUA, SOUTHERN BALI - SEPTEMBER 2005After some days touring Bali, we settle down in Southern Bali and spent more than a week in Nusa Dua, home to some of the most luxurious hotels in the world. Clear water and stretches of white sandy beach (anyhow not comparable to Algarve; actually the beach deals very badly with the low tide...) makes Nusa Dua a fantastic place for a pleasant holiday!"ROOM 4035 at the Club Med was our basis. Just behind the Samuh Temple, quite close to the beach, was quite comfortable.

They were first discovered on very old petroglyphs, and those painted stones often showed faces with big rounded eyes, the origina...

TAHITI BEACHCOMBER INTERCONTINENTAL
2007-02-07 02:32:00 BACK TO A NICE HOTEL - SEPTEMBER 2004In 1992, we stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Papeete. We started by staying at a very nice fare over the water and had some amazing experiences.The first: one of the days - I think I've already mentioned this somewhere - the TV was on, though we were not paying too much attention... Then, suddenly, we noticed that a play somewhere in Africa was being released. Curiously, it sounded familiar as, aside from the interventions of the French reporter, characters were speaking Portuguese. It was the incredible Tchiloli - The Tragedy of the Marquis of Mantua - played in Sao Tome and Principe. Hearing Portuguese from Sao Tome and Principe on a French TV Channel at an over water suite in Tahiti was at least bizarre...The second: one night, it was raining dogs and cats; pouring as only in the tropics... The sea was a bit rough, but the coral reef was supposed to stop the huge waves. Anyhow, wavelets were reaching our fare. The problem was that the ...
