How you can see on the titel isn't all the best.

Not because of my work, i somehow aranged myself with this situation but more on the private side! Because i live in a relationship, beeing separated for  six month isn't that easy. So my girlfriend booked a flight to come and spend days with me, which we planned to consist of travelling to Cambodia and North Vietnam. I arranged all my work to it and she her university stuff. Her flight was supposed to be on friday and how you can already see on the little word supposed, it'll not gonna be like this. I was really surpised that i had a message in my e-mail postbox from my mum saying, call she is in hospital....SHIT!!!... So after talking to my parents and gettong her on a phone at the hospital (i am lucky that a call from my mobile only cost about 0,25 € per minute). She's goot an infection at her knee and the Doc's say she shouldn't fly

Thats really a pitty, but this countries are not the best places to run around with an infection. So we will look the next days and see what we do, changing flight, cancel it (really hard because missing so much) or something else, we will see! First thing is that she'll be allright other things can wait...

To keep up with my work by the way, i went out last week (one of the nicest days we had the last 4-5 weeks) to take watersample. But the sea told me to think about going out twice before dong so... My vietnamese helper (thank you so much) got so seasick that he couldn't do much, exept deploying one device (CTD, for those which know about it), and i myself did all the rest. Because looking down all the time to filter water, treat samples etc. I wasn't in a good shape either, but i think the adrenalin keept me up on my legs...

So to finish this chapter i wish my girlfriend all the best and that we manage to survive these and find a solution....

I love you Aleks!!!

Oh je,

wind is still strong, slowly i run out of time. Lots things to do, but the days where i can go out are rare and most of the time not predictable. The weather is somehow comparable with the april wheater back in germany, except is much warmer here and no snow or hail.

I discovered during my lunchcoffee that the woman where i have my early morning bread/coffee is the sister of the woman where i have my lunchcoffee. These two shops/streetcafes are about 7 km apart from each other and look just the same as e very other vietnamese streetcafe. So somehow i've something with this family, beside of supporting the whole clan. The one from the morningcoffee came along and we all fall into laughter...
