austria

i was at home for 3 weeks - and it was really nice! it was a pleasure to see my family and my friends again - thanks everybody for your time! it was really good to see you! i was in salzburg, twice in vienna and also in innsbruck - as you can imagine it was a bit stressfull as well.
unfortunately i was not able to meet all people which i wanted to meet - i will be back soon and am looking forward to seeing you soon!
since wednesday  i am back in ghana - and want to show you some pictures.

as mr. edwars snowden showed the whole world recently there is too much abuse with personal data. i was a bit surprised that many people seemed not to know at all how well we are all monitored... anyway, there is a reason why i am not on facebook and rather write this blog. but i also realized that if i put too many personal pictures here i give away my privacy as well...therefore i will show you pictures, but without people!! in 2 pics is myself, but you know anyway how i look!

dear family and dear friends, i have some nice pictures of you - but will show it to you privately!

kind regards from ghana,

sevi
