Impressions from Korea

whale_embassy_pic.jpghey people, this is the first time for me to write on this weblog.

Watching the incredible amount of comments that Raoni gets on his fancy rethorics i thought i might as well try to get a piece of the pie (i just found out that's another weblog though).

By the way: You can see Raoni deeply pondering upon the life and enlightenment of Buddha, who's birthday is celebrated here today.

I myself have been at the embassy about a week. Altough life here is not easy and comfortable this wonderful team has created a camp in which the eviction that we have to expect at any time will make me feel a bit like having to leave home. We get more and more visitors and talking to them we learn a lot about korea and it's people as we try to pass on the reasons for our activity and our concerns.

As it is sunday the amount of people who come by is incredible today. Others have written a lot to give interested people an idea of how we are living here. A couple of pictures are probably nice to deepen that impression. The main building, the embassy dome, has already been on, so here goes our camp...

Our luxury kitchen resembling a circus tent inspires the changing chef's to the most incredible culinaric creations as we go for our first michelin star. Our cozy living room serves as a place for meetings and provides space for a bit of well deserved rest, as short as it may be.
