Now in Manila and returning to Europe after the root70 tour of Asia and Australia/NZ I have little to write. Plagued with blocked ears, the flu and a leaking saxophone I managed to stay afloat only with the help of Omega3 capsules, Primo Levi´s “The Drowned and the Saved”, pure Korean Ginseng and Garlic tablets, the letters of Pliny the Younger, Manuka Honey UMF15, Clive James´”Cultural Amnesia”, and the humorous moments of reading Australasian journalism which is still taken seriously. By the way, people in Australasia now call their girlfriends and wives “partners” and it is law to wear helmets on bicycles. And no one seems to even mind! Als ob sie nicht absurd genug waeren, und sie nehen sich noch dabei ernst. Aber sag bloss nichts dagegen, sonst tritt man schnell ins faettnaepfchen. Ich bin wohl rechtzeitig rausgekommen. Makes it so hard to believe in the holy contour of life.
