Hello my big sister,

I wish you a Happy Birthday and that all your dreams come true. Have a great day with some champaign
, I´ll keep you in mind.
A lot of birthday kisses from Susi.
(I hope you got my envelop.)
Today it was my first day at work after vacation. The prisoneers where happy to see me again. To hell why? Maybe I´m too friendly... 
Everything what I´ve done today didn´t came from my heart, I was really incompetent and didn´t feel like it. Somebody has to invent to beam persons: Beam me up back to my sunbed. This are all my thoughts about working today. But in 4 weeks is christmas, everything will be good.
After work I was total lazy, no sport today, only eating and watching TV. Whow, if I´ll do the same next days I´ll looking like a whale, maybe Greenpeace will rescue me.
No, I´m not frustrated I´m only ironic to myself. Boah, and tomorrow I´ve to sit about eight hours in a chair and listening my teacher. I´ve to visit a trainee about the new criminal law. How exciting. After it I will kill my Badminton-team-mates.
So, at the end I´ve to say: It´s only today that I´m absolute confused, I´ve settle into the daily German madness.

(My translation: What should it mean under stress? The next who claims I look stressed I will beat on his stupid trap! - Under stress, impudence!!)
"It´s nice warm here, I wish you where here with me. I hope you´re okay. Everything is okay here, it´s only missing you. You should plan and come back soon.
I´m here in my village now in the countryside, it´s beautiful nature with sky lot´s of beautiful stars. I´m gonna send you the blossoms of the greatest african beautiful stars by the night. Just for your lovely sleep and a warmth of the sunshine to embrace you and enligthen you by the morning. You´re always in my heart."
Thank you for your open and good heart, I found a good friend in you. I hope you´re always okay. God bless you.
It seems that I lost my heart in this country, but it´s not romantical like it seems. Of course the nature, the warm wind which is blowing through my hairs, the friendly and open heart people... that´s why I´m missing Kenya. But it would never been possible to live there. There´s no currency, fresh water, a lot of sickness, poorness (many people live in slums or in houses of loam) and not to forget a lot of crime. But why I´m thinking about it? Is it an adventure? Do I despise Germany so much? (Yes, I do. All the people here are stressed so much and everybody wants to fill his pockets more and more.)
That´s only my thoughts. Since I´m back I thinking about that when I went to bed and when I get up every morning. I hope it will stops tomorrow because thats the first day I´m back to work.


Yesterday I went back to Germany from my 14 days trip to Kenya. It was so exciting. We went to Mombasa, Haller Park, Safari, snorkling with seeing dolphins. One member of the hotel showed us a poor village where we visited a school. We gave about 30 children (3 till 9 years old) 30 kg food, oil, sweets and some school equiptment. They danced for happiness and sang a lot of songs for us so we had tears in our eyes.
It´s to long to write everything what I saw and felt there. It´s the most poor country I´ve ever seen and the people there are so friendly and nice. Every travel guide is warning about the dangerous, about the violence against tourists too. So we never left the hotel after the sun went down. But at my last evening I went out (alone) with three black guys who I trust. So we went to a club and they protected me very well and brought me back to the hotel safed. I had to cry as I had to leave two hours later, at 4 o´clock in the morning. I´m sure for going back as soon as possible and with more gifts for the children in my pocket.
Here some pictures:
