Luckily, the aviation world is still very complicated. These complications sometimes can be an opportunity. This spring it was an opportunity to visit China again. After some magic with the airline booking system, a 3-day transfer in Shanghai was confirmed. Writing this post almost 6 months after the trip, being in a somewhat messy state,…

I wasn’t expecting to come back that soon. I wanted to, but I didn’t expect it. But as unexpectedly soon as it happened, similarly unexpectedly, it passed. But this trip was one of the few truly remarkable ones. I’ve had a chance to visit a conference in Tokyo – in Tachikawa, to be precise. I…

Fog Keeping something good in secret is a tough thing. Especially when it is already almost happening and you want to scream to the whole world that soon very soon one of the happiest moments will happen. But in order for this to really happen, you have to be quiet. The foggy airport suggests this…

Tourists, tourists, tourists Our next destination was Kyoto. I don’t know for sure if it would be counted as visiting Japan without visiting Kyoto. But, there is another side to this. I think almost everyone who visits Japan, wants to visit Kyoto. However, this city is much smaller than Tokyo and is not supposed to…

Notes As this whole part of the blog is called “Notes”, here it is. Notes from the warm part of 2024. Düsseldorf and some places around. Just a thought: on the website where you pay for the storage capacity, it is really a notebook and not just notes spread around the platform. This notebook has…

Malta The second stop of our triangular trip was Malta. It is a place from which you either have very high expectations or don’t have any. Because it is a relatively distant island country. Something must be unique there. Or nothing special. In the end, everyone decides for themselves. And I think this decision is…

Athens Finally, the summer is here! Okay, maybe not here where I am now, but in Greece, the summer has certainly got full power. We went on our first summer vacation to Greece and Malta. That’s why this post is called Mediterranean Triangle.  The boarding of the flight was going perfectly smooth until our captain…

Wernigerode When you’re coming back to a place that you remember from childhood, it often may seem like the place has gotten smaller over the years. Somehow the same happened to me in the small cozy town of Wernigerode even though the last time I was there was 11 years ago. And I wasn’t so…

(part 3). When I moved here, I was fascinating by city’s transport infrastructure. Anyone can just jump on train on the closest metro station and go to another city. Or to one more another one. Or change to regional train and in half an hour be in Cologne. In short, I still feel a need…

Night time. Concert. After moving to Düsseldorf in 2024 I saw a picture of an amazing concert hall on one of the city’s Instagram accounts. It was shocking: the hall looked like a huge star in space that flows its light on a wooden stage. Immediately I decided to find a concert in that hall…
