Since August 9th it is possible to read the diaries of George Orwell online. Each entry belongs to an entry of his diary that was written 70 years ago.

I am waiting at the Vancouver airport for my flight back to Germany. My flight to Frankfurt is two hours late but that is not a pain in the ass like at other airports. Here is free wireless everywhere and the building and its interior is also worth a visit. It is bright everywhere because of a lot of windows. There are a lot of small statues and even a small artificial waterfall. In comparison to the airport in Frankfurt where there were not enough seats to sit down in the waiting halls, the airport here is dimensions better and quite inviting.

This Monday was a bank holiday here in Canada such that we have got a long weekend. I used this chance to go to Seattle. Except for sometimes long and annoying border controls it takes usually only four hours by Greyhound. Here is a picture of Downtown taken from the Queen Anne Hill. In the foreground is the famous Space Needle. But Seattle has also got a great art museum that I really enjoyed yesterday.

I have been in the Contemporary Art Gallery here in Vancouver. At present there is an amazing performance about a robotic chair. This chair falls apart and puts itself back together. It is really impressive. Great engineering, great art!
