First green and little flowers: spring is coming with all its promises of sunny days, happy walks and festivals!*

I lived in Hannover many years and moved to Hamburg in 2004 with my husband, because I got a good job there. We are still a bit homesick for Hannover. And I always like to show, how beautiful and wonderful Hannover is, this city, which is mostly forgotten on the tourist path through Germany.

I am a China-addict. Since I have visited China the first time in 1987 I visited China many times. China is a country with many diverse landscapes, big and small cities and wonderful people. I love to speak Chinese (Mandarin), I love the vibrating cities, the colors of the mountains and the smiles of the local people. For more about me and China please see my respective pages on VT. I love VT, because it gives me the opportunity to show you how beautiful China is. Specially since I work for a touroperator, that is specialised on tours to China, my whole life revolves around China. 2007 I was lucky to visit Xinjiang Province after 15 years again. Cities like Turfan and Kashgar have changed a lot. See my pages about Turpan and Kashgar now!

So Beijing, China and Hannover are my most important and biggest pages on VT. But also my Hamburg-page is now slowly growing.

Times of Change: My dearest, my Love, my husband Stephan died on March 16th 2007 peacefully after being ill for some time! There are no words to tell you how sad I am. I am trying to cope and to find a new way of living.

Even on my pages of famous cities like Beijing you'll find "Off the Beaten Path"-tips. Go and explore my pages for this!

There are two VT-members, who became very good friends in real life for me. Their pages belong to the most impressive ones on VT!

tini58de Christine from Karlsruhe. She has seen so many places. Her pages are full of useful informations. I love her stories about her foster children around the world.

Leipzig Christian from Leipzig. His pages have the best informations about Germany and other places in Europe. Ask him, when you want to know something about the weather at any place in the world!

Go and see for yourself!

"Rely not on the teacher/person, but on the teaching. Rely not on the words of the teaching, but on the spirit of the words. Rely not on theory, but on experience. Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and the benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

The Buddha

Hatreds never cease by hatred in this world; by love alone they cease.
