Recently, reading the news this quote by the American Journalist Edward Roscoe Murrow came to my mind: “Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation”. If I remember right, he coined it as a war correspondent in Vietnam. Who thought a few years ago in Europe that the world would come back to these times? Did we have an attempted coup in Russia yesterday? … I guess it may be getting more chaotic.
I returned from a field trip to Germany and France with a group of MBA students from the University of Hong Kong. Then I was working on the construction site in Hundsrück, where the little house gets anything from praise to “it looks like an alcoholic’s family took half of their inheritance and built a dog shed.” People in Germany are not very kind to each other. The new German National Trinity is: “Schlagloch, Funkloch, Arschloch”. Now I am mooring in Tilburg after moving the boat from Biesbosch a little down South. I even received a welcome pack when entering Piushaven. It’s funny to be on a boat in an urban setting. It’s a very friendly place. Temperatures are a little high, reaching 32°C. But that’s supposed to change by tomorrow.
