tuesday night, we just came home from the cinemas. matchpoint, the last woody allen movie, placed in london. young, handsome irish extenispro marries into rich uppercrust english family, falls in love with his brother in laws fiancée and kill her to keep the lie up and not lose his newly won status. afterwards a thai soup in restaurant mesticio and a 30 min walk home. It IS cold here...some 15C degrees and life is just flowing like a lazy river.

imcartório

wieder einmal sitze ich im cartório, einer der obsoletesten Institutionene, welche dieses Land zu bieten hat.

hey again sunday morning in São Paulo. Valeria is giving water to the garden because the winter wheather has brought some dry and cold days. Reading the veja makes one want to leave this wonderful country. After the Bolivian Presindent invaded Petrobras' factories the four populist leader meet in Uruguay and Lula has nothing better to do than to CONGRATULATE Evo Morales. A clear kick in the groins of the Brazilian People, who, through Petrobras have invested in the region. This is a much bigger step, because it shows that Lula is really NOT at all a democratic leader but more and advocat of his own PT, a socialist group of politicians that still want a socialist revolution in the whole region. Very sad. Lets talk about more intersting stuff. This site about Ashtanga Yoga, my recent pasttime is excellent www.ashtanga.com For a test I also want to post a little picture I made with that new Photo Boot app that came with Pedro's new computer. Really cool...If Andy only knew

ahh.. back again. I am sitting in the office, troubleshooting all there is to troubrleshoot, soon I will go home and enjoy my lovely house

vamos ver. a laura está aqui no brasil conosco. ontem um dia quente com muito sol e 40 graus. hoje p... frio com chuva (que bom) ceu cinza em cinza como na suiça. almoço com thomas, um amigo suíço brasileiro, centro restaurante lolita, dono suíço tipo bahnhofbuffet. com este tempo e tudo deu até saudades de casa...

hello, back again. I heard that tha "firstrun" movie is a hit with our audience. Another funny link to check out is get addicted Sooo... enjoy. I am a bit dizzy, just drank a caipirinha for lunch, which ended the (anyway not very ) productive part of my day.

tsia.. Ostern fangen gerade an und es ist Donnerstag abend. Leider hat unsere Abreise nicht geklappt, da wir beide zu lange gearbeitet haben. Jetzt noch 3 Stunden Auto, Supermercado einkaufen und alles...das ist zu viel. Schliesslich sind es ja auch noch 32 Km dreckstrassen bis zu Breno's Sitio. Die Zeit habe ich aber genutzt und unsere wedding fotopage gemacht. ist noch ein prototyp, keine Reihenfolge und so...einfach ein paar Fotos, damit auch Cesco an Ostern mal surfen tut. Ich wünsche euch schönen Schnee und viel Spass. Wir reisen morgen, bei Sonnenschein nach Sul de Minas, Gonçalves. hier click und...( oh wunder)..die erste von 2 Seiten

well...just posted two new pages...one with pictures from the house called Umbau II and another one called takeoff....where you can see us take off in Floripa. cheers P

ok....now this is why I am in Brazil... click on the musicians (how do you spell that?? anyway) ...and see what Brazil has to offer... Gisele Bündchen the allmighty Supertopmodel from the south of Brazil is now being called "übermodel" by local newspapers. Now that's something in a country who does not know the ¨ (two dots above any letter) as a letter. Lula is giving nice speeches and we all hope that the US will not incinerate the arab and other world in their quest for oil.

we did a little movie over x-mas which we cut on my mac. just for fun. it was slightly influenced by "the godfather" which we all happend to have seen. these holidays i descovered what a pleasure it can be to watch DVD on a computer. Never really understood the technology...but now I looove it.

just typed the last changes and offered some link for visitors on my page. this christmas I will spend with the family of Valeria on a sitio near the city. On 26 we will go to the mountains in Minas where Breno has a wonderful place with horses (mares) and hiking and stuff. merry xmas and happy new 'ear (how the brazilians say). I just planted a Pau Brasil in my garden and it is growing nicely.

O.K. am back. Here in São Paulo its X-mas time as everywhere else in the world. This was a nice year and lots of good things have happened to me. I got to know Valeria, I bought a house and I play the best trumpet I have ever...which is not too much but better than nothing. I a founding a company and I am remodeling a house which I bought on Pacaembu in São Paulo. If you would like to see some pictures about my year of 2002 click here . Ok I mean... I hope I did not leave anybody out. Well well well. I had a horrible day. Our second attempt to get a CNPJ for our company failed and we could not get embatek founded yet in São Paulo. What took a month in Switzerland is taking 3 month here and is still not done. The custo brasil is reaching unbearable levels and I really don't know anymore, if it it worth investing a dime in a bureaucratically rotten place like this. Some scribesman seems to be able to block your papers indefinitely and if you rent a place for 2'000U$ per month nobody is able to tell you beforehand if it will be possible to use it as the main office of your company. I come to the conclusion that I am either stupid, or brasil is a very difficult place to do business, or we work with the wrong people. Probably all of it together. Enjoy the news and write me an email sometime.

well,,back again. just sitting on my sofa in são paulo and enjoying a lazy afternoon @1230. Yesterday we watched forrest gump for the zillion'st time and i cried agaiiiin. then we went to the cinema to see "la pianiste" a truly horrid picture of sexual perversions...poor thing the pianiste..couldn^t wait to get out of the movie. the house has changed. From "a little reform" it became very quickly a "sound reconstruction" type of project. soon I will post some more pictures. bye P

hello again...since i heard that some people really visit this site i will post some more news. I bought the loveliest house on pacaembu (name of the quarter) here in São Paulo and probably on earth. click on the link and see it. well..apart from that i am somewhat in a hurry going to a hamlet theather right no.......

long time since my last blog.... I am still in São Paulo...probably will stay here. I am about to found a company called embatek where we will try to sell the SOFTube and more. Interesting... furthermore I have lots of pictures which you can access through my Menue. Now I have even learned to put links into my pages. Well, well...I love my Ibook...it is real fun. What else...the country is going down the drain...Dollar is 3.3 to the real...up some 40% since the beginning of the year. It suffocates the country and I hope that it will go down soon..just to ease the effects of inflation and so on. byby
