After entering an over-night train in Bangkok, this was the beautiful sight that greeted us this morning in the area of Chiang Mai.

Rocking the Festival Procession
Last Weekend my band attended at a festival procession in the small village Rixfeld where a folk music (“Volksmusik”) singer festival happened. We packed all our stuff on a wagon behind a tractor, hooked up the amps to a power generator and off we went. With playing our ska music we certainly were the most exotic appearance on the whole procession, but the people seemed to enjoy this little diversion from three days with lots of local folk music.
Edersee Hiking Trip
In the week after Easter I did a hiking trip around the Edersee, a reservoir lake in the area of Kassel. The forest around it, the “Kellerwald”, is a UNESCO world cultural heritage, because it is mostly untouched and slowly becomes a type of jungle. So it really is a nice place to hike. … well, in theory, at least. I guess as soon as the leafs are green and the temperatures are warm it is a fantastic place to be. Unfortunately, this both was not the case at the time I was there.
As you can see, big parts of the lake still were frozen and there was a lot of snow everywhere. On the other hand, I did met only very few people during this three day trip. In essence I can only recommend this area, but I you should decide to go there, wait until it is warmer (like right now, for example).
