As I said in the previous installment of the travel log, when I arrived, there were about 100 people already there.

So, do you know how many people live in the Czech Republic? 10,562,214 according to the 2011 [...]

Most people were convinced there would be cities on the moon in their lifetime. Well… ummmmm… It did not quite turn out that way. At least [...]

I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
More about me can be found here and also here (in German).
