Seen much and experienced more than I can handle.
I'll try to add more of the jungle pics later.
This clip has been on my mind for months.
I love it.
Though I'm not sure if this add does justice to it. Exhibition hall vs. blog site.
Maria van Riebeeck, living in the Cape of Good Hope, sings a lullaby to her adopted indigenous child. The language is not generally known by the 17th century Dutch and she vows to love this girl more than her biological children. I've seen the lyrics in English but failed to find them to add here.
The artist, Andrew Putter works in Cape Town.

Jungle Boogie
There's nothing like a true jungle experience. As a certain French fellow said its about ”appreciating” all the sounds you're surrounded by. Including rats running around your hut.
The second pick seems to be impossible to add.
Definitely need better wifi out here.
I'll add more and continue the story later.

The age of Stupid?
Not the movie you want to watch right before taking a long flight.
But still worth checking out.
What have I done to prevent Global warming?
What have I done to heat it up?

Suck it and see
It is here.
Seems like some fans are not happy with it, but I think I'll stick with the band.
UK arena tour tickets on sale 17/06. Better get one of those.

Mind the Gap
Here's a link where it's not about the subway.

Hans Rosling presented pretty much the same graph on CNN.
He had to anwer the following question right after. "Can the US prosper with so much competition?"
Can the health of others be a threat to me?

On Call – How I survive it
Some tips to start with
1. Comfortable shoes. It's no time to be fancy pancy. Personally I prefer Crocs. They're light. You can run or sneak in wearing them and no matter how slippery the floor you won't take a fall. Plus a bright colour can cheer one up.
2. Drink. It's easy to forget food, but with all the running and talking you need water to avoid dehydration.
3. Stay cool. Anyone or anything can anoy you, but the work has to be done.
4. Go easy on caffeine. It's hard to focus if your heart is beating like mad. Also heps with numer 3.
5. Make return home feel like a prize. Food, fresh linen, flowers you name it. Take a breather. Yes it's morning, but you need it.
6. Sleep. Anytime it's possible take a rest. Even few minutes can do wonders. Some things can be done in the morning in stead of 3 a.m.
7. Forget life outside the hospital. There is none. At least not until the shift is over.
8. Remember to smile. Colleagues and the rest of the staff have rough time too. Appreciation and kindness always come back to you.
9. Don't be too hard on yourself. It'll be easier next time.
10. Enjoy. In the end its' a great job.

The things modern art can do to you
"What a hoax!" I once thought standing in front of toilet doors at a gallery displaying modern art. It took a while 'till I realized they actually were real toilets and that the exhibition was just around the corner.
Here's something I experienced by Peter Kogler last year. Standing in that space all alone was rousing and dizzy at the same time. I could hear epilepsy coming. Loved it.
