Come along with me on a journey of discovery of Austria, the land of my birth. You’ll get a glimpse of Austria's glorious history and meet some of its famous people, modern day as well as historic figures such as Mozart and Haydn. I’ll introduce you to Austria’s heritage and culture; take you on a tour of the Austrian Alps, historic Vienna, old Salzburg and the picturesque and very inviting Salzkammergut region.
We’ll even discover a place where storks roost every spring, be introduced to Austria’s unique wine heritage, and of course we’ll briefly visit the places and settings for many of Austria’s world renowned summer music fests.
As you read through the book you may even hear “The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Music”, be drawn into a Danube river trip, prompted to have a cup of the famous Vienna coffee along with a slice of Sachertorte or Apfelstrudel. We’ll also take a seat and relax at a local Heurigen, where the owners serve their own wine and food. And of course, as we tour Vienna, we’ll discover some of the architecture that inspired the greats of music and art of old and continues today.

I came back from China a few years now!
God it's far, while China, under the pressure of "modernity" is forgetful of its past and destroyed with a vengeance!
China I knew already quickly became "my" China may dream and fantasy,
From the first moment of my return I fixed my memories and impressions,
These are mostly emotional, meetings, a look, from thousands: But when we lived six years in Beijing, there is no return unscathed from China and I do not know what a poet so aptly put it "It is in exile of a country that is not ours ", whatever besides the lucidity of our eyes and our knowledge of aspects of black and tormented this country

From the author of "No Roads Lead to Rome."
A wise person observed that visiting a new place for a day makes you an expert but the longer you stay, the less you seem to know. As you integrate into new surroundings, the exotic eventually becomes familiar and what was once quirky becomes the new normal, though you may never quite fit in.
From 2000 to 2005, I lived with my family in Sant Cugat, a Catalan village on the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. These were interesting and formative years to live, work, and learn abroad.
On a global scale, the hope of the new millennium and the promise of peace didn’t last. The new century barely arrived before the world was convulsed with terror that soon turned to war. According to the daily headlines, the planet had become dangerous place.
As we went about our daily lives, we found people were drawing closer, not pulling apart. Traveling extensively through Europe and North Africa, we never felt unsafe or unwelcome.
In putting together this brief collection, I chose to leave world’s upheavals and politics aside in order focus on a few odd milestones, minor upsets, and gentle bumps along the road one travels from tourist to resident.
Most of these articles were written and published while avoiding work on my novel, “No Roads Lead to Rome.” The novel takes place in Spain in 123 A.D., a time not unlike the present.
