Wherever I went in the last few days you see apartments. How many are they going to build? Whom do they expect? This part here is called Fahaheel and seems to be quite new. The part where we live in is still mainly under construction.
I don't know what the heck they are doing, but even new sidewalks and roads are torn apart and trashy. But they take care of the flowers and trees in the middle of the Gulf road.....

Btw., can anyone tell me what is wrong with the tag "Middle East"?
I have saved most of my tags, so I can copy/paste them, but "Middle East" always shows up in two words and I have to type it manually..... :S

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wohnungen, Wohnungen und nochmal Wohnungen.....

Ueberall wo ich in den letzten Tagen hin bin, wird gebaut oder ist gebaut worden. Wieviele bauen die denn noch? Wen erwarten die? Dieser Teil wird Fahaheel genannt und ist wohl recht neu. Der Teil, in dem wir leben, ist groesstenteils noch im Bau. Ich weiss nicht, was die machen, aber selbst neue Fussgaengerwege sind schon kaputt oder voller Muell. Aber hauptsache, sie halten Blumen und Baeume auf dem Mittelstreifen der Golfstrasse in Ordnung.... :S

Going to work ~ Auf dem Weg zur Arbeit

Most of these workers either live in tents in front of the construction site or in the construction site itself. I've even seen cages with chicken in them.
These guys came from somewhere else with the bus, but there was a big tent with laundry in front of the construction and a big tank with water for these guys.
Btw., these workers are not Kuwaitis. They come from all over the place (India, Egypt, Philippines,...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Die meissten dieser Arbeiter leben entweder in Zelten vor der Baustelle oder in der Baustelle selbst. Ich habe sogar einige Huehnerkaefige gesehen.
Diese Arbeiter kamen mit dem Bus von woanders, haben aber auch ein Zelt mit Waescheleine und einen grossen wassertank vor der Baustelle stehen.
Uebrigens, die Arbeiter sind keine Kuwaiter, die meissten kommen aus Indien, Aegypten, oder von den Philippinen.

Elado....

I spent my day yesterday looking for a house in our favorite village. The one where "our" fishing lake is.
I was going to look at the house of a friend of ours, which she offered on Saturday. I didn't know if it was a joke or if she was serious.
You know that my Hungarian isn't very great yet and most people don't speak English nor German in this village. But we always get along.
Well. The house seems not to be for sale, not yet that is ;)
But I ended up going with Marta, Istvan and Joszef looking at the houses above.
It's not much money, not at all, but they all need some serious work and most of all: more rooms :)
Well, I will keep looking.
I go for one more today.
Funny that now all off a sudden houses pop up for sale. We waited for an opportunity in this place for half a year ;)

And for all the flickrites out there that live in Hungary: I just have opened up a new Flickr Meet Hungary group :)

What always amazed me about Korea, no matter if it was Seoul or our small town, was the old and new, modern and old contrast.

I don't know what's worse, living in those apartments or in one of these old houses with a roof that leeks and a trashy yard.
But I think, I would take the house ;)

Missed opportunities - Verpasste Gelegenheiten

I missed the opportunity here with a before and after shot.
This place was abandoned and desolated for years and I always thought, I can snap it one day anyways.
But see, somebody bought it and made nice appartements for vacationers out of it.
I always knew, that place was gorgeous :)

---------------------------------------

Ich habe die Gelegenheit verpasst, dieses Haus vorher / nachher zu fotografieren.
Es stand jahrelang verlassen und leer und nun hat's einer gekauft und dieses Schmuckstueck daraus gemacht. Es sind Appartements fuer die Feriengaeste hier.
Ich wusste immer, dass dies ein Goldstueck ist :)

Yes, it's a house ;)

Yepp, not everywhere people care about what they front door looks like. I wish, they would start bringing in more trash cans, people here simply throw their trash on the streets :/

The hotel in the background is the one we stayed in for one night. I have to go back one day and take pictures. I will tell the lady it is for my Mom, who wants to come and visit us.
I've never seen anything like that in my Life. It was clean (moderate), but the collection of furniture and stuff was just amazing ;)
