One!

Lately it could seem that I’ve been kind of preoccupied by numbers and visitor’s in my posts. Today’s number is the number of visitor’s we’ve got in our house in Tai Wan village at the moment.
He arrived on Thursday morning, where I picked him up at the airport and installed him in our guestroom.
Muecke is from Dresden and is a very, very good friend and I’m happy that he finally made it here to visit us. If you wonder about this funny name, then I have to tell you that it isn’t his real name, it is a nickname and means “mosquito”. Where, why and when he got this name, I have no idea, but never mind that.
First time I met him must have been 7 or 8 years ago. I was working at the Medienkulturzentrum in Dresden and he came as a participant to one of our courses in film and video making. Since then he has been one of my best mates -even that I’m not living in Dresden anymore- and he has been part of the most of the action in my life during my stay there, both the good and the sad stuff.
Should you have wondered why this blog is called something with “Traktor”, and also may have wondered why I –nearly- always is wearing a top with the funny logo; “Traktor-Trotzdem”, then that has also something to do with him. In 2003 the two of us were the founders of the fantastic Football team called Traktor Trotzdem in Dresden Neustadt.
This team still exists and I bet you have read more about it here, than what I tell you now.
Anyway the top I’m always –or nearly- wearing is the shirt of that team and should you want to learn a lot more –or even join in as a fan- you can read a lot more on the official web site; www.traktor-trotzdem.de.
Anyway back to this one visitor. Muecke finally decided that he had to come to Hong Kong and see how life is going around here, so the next weeks he’ll stay with us in the village, and I’ll try to show him so much as possible in the time he’ll be staying.
