Coming home? Maybe. It is school break in Jakarta and we decided to come back to Dumaguete for a week. This is a coming home for my daughters who have this city inside them. They arrived here when they were five and three and left with us four and half years later to move to Jakarta. All is familiar here. The small size of the city. The sea touching the Boulevard downtown. The Hayahay restaurant […]
Ho finito oggi un libro che mi ha fatto compagnia per circa un mese. Il titolo è Patria 1978-2010 (. Lo scrittore è Enrico Deaglio. Giornalista e scrittore di sinistra del quale ricordo qualche programma televisivo anni fa. Forse Rai 3.

Catching trains, booking […]

I've been ask a couple of times to share my work space, so here is a little post to show you how or better where I work and what things are important to me while working.
When I was a kid we went on a family vacation to Tuscany, Italy each year. We never stayed in fancy hotel or took a flight back then. We would drive the whole way down from Germany in our old VW station wagon and stayed at a rustic farm house a friend of my parents owned. For my sister and me this holiday was always a big adventure. We would explore the surrounding countryside with […]
