Sauna


It's Friday and -5 degrees celcius cold. And I am listening to this hip hop song; it's getting hot in here, so get off all your clothes or something like that. And I am thinking, I could do just that, even when it's freezing cold. So off we go.....

People like it in the sauna. Look at that smile, mmh tells you alot ehh?
I know what other people would think about the Sauna. And I am talking about the 'we-believe in God and everybody else is a sinner-types'. They will keep on explaining why and how bad it is to visit the Saunas. But why? because everybody is naked? Nobody is really interested in looking at anybody else. It's warm and one feels free. Nothing more. You wont get an erotish experience, if that's what you think. It was, of course for me a Cultural Shock the first time I was there.

But hey...it's minus 5 outside, and I would like to feel +95°C. I am a Tanzanian and used to +35°C for God's sake.

So after 15 minutes in +95°C, I a was finally able to walk outside in the Nude zone or 'Freie Körper Kultur' in minus 5°C. And I was able sing it's getting cold out here......

Here are some pictures, but nothing from the Sauna..... I am interested to hear from you.


Okay I could use some shaving

Würzburg

What does one on a Saturday in Germany do? Especially when there are very old Castle's to see? The teenies in Germany find it extremly booring. But I find it entertaining..... sometimes
Today (21 Jan, 2005) whe decided to go back to the roots, where Jessica was born. Würzburg.. funny because Wurzeln in Germany means roots. But anyway Würzburg is a small town in Bavaria which is in southern Germany, about 100km from Frankfurt.

Before we got to the hospital and the apartment where Jessica was born and raised, we first visited the Marienburg Marien Castle. The Castle is not very old, just 400 years old I was told. Nevertherless very impressive. It looked to me like it is about two times bigger than Indian Ocean Hotel in Dar es Salaam and it is located on top of a hill. So everybody sees it or rather more correct they see everybody. Someone said it belonged to Catholic Barons! By the way, some Irish missionaries came and made the Barons catholics. And later on they were getting rich from the wine business. And one can easily see how extravagant they were.




















Enough history, I don't know if it's all correct anyway!.

After the Castle, visited some interesting parts in the inner city. A freezed fountain, that was something different from what I am used to see. Jessica took with excitment loads of pictures.

Some hours later, tired and ready to sleep.....



thank you for taking time to read this
