Dawn of the day
I haven't seen such a wonderful sunrise very often, beginning a new day passing the Himalaja on a flight towards Thailand.

Winter holiday
As the winter had a tight grip on Germany til last week we decided to stay in Hesse at Astrids family for our winter holiday.
It was the week of karneval whis more a tractor show here. ;-)
We went skiing in Willingen and had fun with our horses, the dogs and the new 4-wheel drive Volvo.
On our way home to Mannheim Astrid started this year's dressage tournament season with a good placement.
Next week I will be in Bangkok for 3 days.

Asia
Leaving bitterly cold Germany I left to Singapore on the 8th January to work for a Dutch client for almost 3 weeks rolling out and training a planning software.
The City itself is magnificent and as every Asian capital an impressing contrast to any German city.
The first weekend I enjoyed the 30° temperature and sun on Sentosa island beach in Singapore.
This weekend my collegue and me went to Bukit Lawang near Medan on Sumatra island (Indonesia) for some Jungle trekking. It was amazing to experience this scenery and see wild monkeys, gibbons and orang-utans in their natural environment.

Riding in the snow
It has been a white christmas and it is still snowing from time to time. I was riding out with Andor today. It was a bit exciting for him in the snow plus he also learned crossing highway bridges and passing kids with firecrackers. He was a bit excited but learned his lesson.
The picture is from a day before when I went out with Andor, Astrid and the dogs

Some opera
Today at 8:00 pm there will be a live transmission of Arte liveweb of "Moscow Cheryomuski" (Dmitri Shostakovich) from the Opera Lyon. My sisterīs boyfriend Mikael Babajanyan sings the role of Fedja Drebedniov. It is sung in Russian with spoken French dialogues. It is a very funny opera, lots to laugh, so if you get a chance to see it please do so.
See the video here live or the recording:

New York City
New York City, always a place to spend time. But this time I prefered hiking in the mountains over the city and just spend one afternoon/evening in NYC.
