May it bring health, prosperity and happiness all the time...that also means, you needn't stay alone when the year moves.
It's my second New Years Eve I'm "celebrating" home alone without family and friends. Even I enjoying my work and multi cultural atmosphere at the airport, but it's hard too and not that perfect place to make friends and contacts because people have to work different shifts manytimes.
That makes to feel or get lonesome if you can't see them.
I hope coming year will get much better.
Besides the new available time table, there work new regulations of EU for carry-on baggage beginning from Monday, November 6th.

Frankfurt/Main Airport
Lufthansa
Japanese site of KLM
...my new camera.
I was tending between Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Olympus and Panasonic. But I decided for Nikon again. :)
Because, Japan is my favorite place where I want to go I've bought this tourist guide. It's the current book I'm reading. In my opinion, it's very interesting and described in detail about history, nature, people, art & culture and discovering Japan from North to the South (including city maps of most important cities + Tokyo subway and urban railways.)
I hope I can realize my dream visiting Japan soon. :)
Although Germany missed Final of FIFA World Cup 2006 so the team of coach Jürgen Klinsmann got a reason to be happy. Germany won "Little Finale" and 3rd rank in game with Portugal 3:1.

On May 9th, I had the opportunity to go to my parents place again, because I wanted to celebrate my birthday in family and birthday of my nephew too. I promised this to him.
I could plan this trip much better than in April, because people in office, what a wonder, didn't laze away my reply for leave, they really accepted my reply punctually. So I could buy a stand-by ticket for open flights to Berlin, because I wanted to take a plane for traveling again. This stand-by ticket is a special offer by airlines to employees at airport...it's much cheaper although it's not really safe if you'll get a flight. But buying this ticket was asking the lady at counter if there are open flights enough. She told me, I needn't be afraid there'll be flights enough. :)
So I took the plane to Berlin on Tuesday. It was my first flight after a time of 21 years and I enjoyed it very much...window seat behind airfoil. It's really the best seat you can have, because you can watch each move and turn enjoying an flight.
Arrived to Berlin I took the train to my parents place. It was not an fast train called ICE, it was just a train called "Regional Express" a faster kind of "slow train" because it doesn't stop at each "milk rack" ...just at most importants. :)
One of these important "milk racks" because ICE trains also stop there, was station Ludwigslust. From there, my parents picked me up for driving home. I stayed at my parents place until May 12th because I had to work again on May 13th. On May 14th + 15th, I enjoyed days off again. :) That's funny or strange a little bit, but I planned so.
I tooked the picture of this bee on my birthday May 10th when I've been at my parents place. It really seems bee and I are watching each other. But you also can see in this macro, bees are thirsty too, sometimes. :)
...after a time of 6 months, I had the opportunity visiting my parents place again.
I've bought it via auction at ebay last Wednesday and received it today. The seller didn't open it yet. So it's completely unused and new. I also safed a little bit money including postal charges.
Ein frohes und gesundes Neues Jahr für Euch alle - A Happy New Year to all of you - Feliz Ano Novo para ti.... - あなたのすべてへの明けましておめでとう
