Quiet
Quiet Aute II Topics of the day: Reading, writing, cycling, uru-picking and possibly –eating! Possible final thought of the day: We really needed a day of silent input (books and e-mails) – after all the people we met yesterday!

Depression induced by Politics and Plunging into the Culture Pape’ete Topics of the day: Public transport (or maybe not), overconsumption, corrupt and/or lazy politicians, poverty, uncertainty, hospitality and culture People we met today (just to add another category): Terri Vallaux (the energy minister’s RE-consultant), Steve Finck (from the establishment for (public) transport and development (town…
Back to work Ra’iatea, Wednesday 5th of August 2009 Topics of the day*: Goodbye Ra’iatea, freight ship, travelling, people, health and safety, alternative propulsion systems for ships Today I solved my computer problems and read a bit. We said goodbye to everyone and went downtown twice – the Taporo didn’t take us on board but…
Macht Arbeit frei? Wie schon bei der „Ökodiktatur“ stelle ich auch beim „Virus“ fest, wie gefährlich Hochrechnungen sind. Die zerstörerischen Entwicklungen auf diesem Planeten verlaufen in einem Tempo, da kann die ausgeprägteste Phantasie nicht mithalten. Was ist der Mensch bloß für ein erbärmliches Wesen! Seltsamerweise nicht als Einzelperson, da ist er meist lieb und zu…
Dreaming of Decentralization… and Happy Children Ra’iatea, Sunday 2nd of August 2009 In the morning I went to church with Suzie. The choir was amazing and it was quite funny how the priest kept swapping between French and Tahitian but I still can’t say that I am particularly fond of the church as an institution…
Energy storage and a hint of doubt… Ra’iatea, Thursday 30th of July 2009 This morning I cycled to Uturoa on my own (Raphael wasn’t feeling well) to meet Dominique (the energy-person) at 8:00 but he didn’t turn up so I went inside the shop in front of which we were supposed to meet and talked…
Google sei Dank Es ist schon erstaunlich, auf welche Hilfsmittel man heute beim schreiben zurück greifen kann. Auf Tahiti habe ich noch selber recherchiert, beim Virus geht das nicht, wir schicken Maeva ja um die ganze Welt. Zur Zeit befindet sie sich in Sydney. Kein Problem, Google machts möglich. Nicht nur Sydney erschließt sich mir…
Ra’iatea Ra’iatea, Monday 27th of July 2009 On Monday I had a pretty long fight with my laptop (software problems and none of my personal computer nerds around to solve them) and cycled to Uturoa to get some groceries (I think Suzie wouldn’t accept money and we always eat together). The capital city (second largest…
Harsh Reality, Money, Drugs and Smugglers Aute II, Wednesday 22nd of July 2009 At 10:00 we met Terii Vallaux – he seemed quite stressed (possibly due to the feed-in-tariff which was just recently introduced) but took a lot of time to talk to us (two and a half hours in total)! He started his job…
Ich habe es ja kommen sehen Da ist sie ja, meine erste Schreibblockade! Vielleicht sollte man sich vorher doch ein wenig genauer überlegen, ob man einen erfolgreichen Roman fortschreibt. Idee und Geschichte des „Tahiti-Virus“ sind gut und logisch, sie rechtfertigen einen zweiten Teil, keine Frage. Die Schwierigkeit ist nur, dass ich mich damit automatisch zum…
