exactly four years ago this time i boarded my first flight to Asia. on the 15th of January 2001, at 19.30. a Monday, it was back then. i didn’t write English travel mails back then, didn’t even think of putting an online travelogue together. in fact, i didn’t even know how to create web pages back then.
most of the pictures staid unscanned, like this jungle river picture
lines of the journey found a place, though, in German, in a yellow diary i took with me. it was a friend who made me open the diary again, a friend who works in a culture centre. "How about a photo evening with your pictures of Thailand and Cambodia,” she asked. i wasn't sure. she was.
the evening will happen on March first. thus i am here at my desk now, reading through those diary pages, scanning pictures, browsing memories. and i can’t help but feel that this can’t be just coincidence. here is the link to the first diary page - eastbound
smile. even the time matches. sometimes i think, there are tiny connections through time, undiscovered yet. some kind of time links. moved by future memories to be.

Looking at the map, I was struck by how close it was to the trip I had taken in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam the year before.
