We actually are not going anywhere today.
Instead I took the poochies to the beach.
Well deserved after being held hostage in the house without a longer walk for three days.

The weather is awesome. Not too hot yet, a nice breeze that smells like Spring flowers and the tide was finally high so the dogs could swim.

JoJo finally went into the water again too. She didn’t want to for quite some time now. I guess King that big stupid moron nearly drowned her one time.

Today I threw the bottles one time for King, let him lay down and stay and one time for JoJo and so on. Worked pretty well.

The Filipinos were there again too to catch fish and have a BBQ.

Some Kuwaitis were around too, but most not for long.

The Babyfish are there again too.

Saw a big school while standing almost hip deep in the nice and cool water

Sadly the beach is trashed. The worst I have seen since a long time.

A lot of stuff that the tide brings in, but due to the fact that today is the first day of the weekend you once again find a bunch of fast food packages.

I guess, I will go next week one or two mornings on a clean up mission again.
I really don’t get it.
Coming here and enjoying natures Beauty and leaving all that shit behind.
I wish the government would at least put a big trash container somewhere. But I guess, Mangaf beach is just not important enough.

Anyone cares to join me? Let me know

I’m glad you enjoyed the beach.
Had a nice little BBQ and good food.
Oh, you even put the trash in bags.
Good people.

Now, can you Morons next time take that trash and put it in big ol’ trash containers that you can find everywhere?
There is none?
Take it home!
Or are you afraid of the smell?
Think it ruins your beautiful, shiny car?

Or are you so used to someone cleaning up after you, that you just don’t think that far?

Why I still get pissed every weekend after 9 months here, I don’t know.
It just is the way it is.
I don’t get these people.
No matter if it’s Kuwaitis, Germans or Indians.
I don’t care.
Just pick up your trash and put it where it belongs!

Ihr erinnert Euch? Letzten Donnerstag waren S. (mit Sohnemann und Mama) und ich in Taegu, weil wir auf den Kraeuter - und Medizinmarkt wollten.
Sind auch am richtigen Bahnhof ausgestiegen, Taegu hat 2, weils so schoen ist. Wobei wir uns auf der Rueckfahrt ueberlegt haben, dass der erste Bahnhof, an dem der Zug haelt, wohl viel naeher an den Maerkten ist, als der Hauptbahnhof (Danke, liebe Leute im Reisebuero, fuer die Stadtrundfahrt mit dem Taxi …)
Am Bahnhof in Taegu angekommen, musste N. (Mutter von S.) erst mal Geld wechseln. Hat auch nur ca. eine halbe Stunde gedauert, bis sie herausgfeunden hat, dass es hier keine Bank zum wechseln gibt, jedoch ganz in der Naehe vom Markt welche sind.
A. (Sohn von S.) hat in der Zwischenzeit beschlossen aus unersichtlichem Grund vor sich hin zu bruellen. Saemtliche Versuche, ihn zu beruhigen schlugen fuer die naechste halbe Stunde fehl. Erst nach der Stadtrundfahrt und vor der Bank angekommen, kam S. auf die Idee, ihm die Schuhe auszuziehen und daraufhin schlief er seelig in seinem Wagen ein. Darauf muss Mutter erst mal kommen

Der Bahnhof

Buddhistischer Moench vor dem Bahnhof

Noch mehr Appartements. Wahrscheinlich werden bald die ganzen urspruenglichen Haueser verschwinden und solchen Kloetzen Platz machen. Vor der Baustelle seht ihr noch einige wenige “Originalhaeuser”.
