My first travel to Asia: Penang-Malaysia

Early July I had the chance to travel the first time in my life to Asia. I had to give some training to colleagues in our factory in Penang Malaysia. Beside the humid weather it was a great experience in many ways, cultural, food, people and nature.

 I made knowledge of fruits never heard of before. Below my first contact with the Durian fruit aka the “King of fruits”. Its a fruit loved by the people there which has one big disadvantage. It smells ugly.In hotels and in rental cars you always see the No Durians sign, cause their smell is so disgusting. Neverheless people in Malaysia eat the Durian in small stands on the street side.

Beautiful Germany

Again a training hike for my Santiago trip. Today I walked 32 km  (20 miles) from my appartment in Munich to Höhenschäftlarn and back to Baierbrunn along the Isar valley. I took me 6 hours and 1/2 hour break. From Baierbrunn I took the S-Bahn home. This was really exhausting for my untrained old body. Nevertheless a good experience. I took the photo below at the beginning of the hike near Unterhaching.

My new camera, a Nikon D80

After years using Canon cameras I wanted to show myself that I am still flexible. Having evaluated for weeks the Canon EOS 400D against the Nikon the only arguments for the Canon were the price and the practice with the Canon camera settings. But when holding the Nikon D80 in my hands I immediately knew: It is  worth jumping into this new world. Just returned from the shop I am impatiently waiting for the battery to charge and doing my first “Nikon” shots.
