Digideep Red Sea DigiJam
From July 19th till August 2nd I spent two great weeks at the Red Sea (Sharm el Sheikh, Sinai, Egypt). It was a liveaboard tour on the King Snefro 5 and 6, which has now become a regular event for the Digideep community each year. In the second week of this year's trip we even had two boats full with underwater photography geeks. We had very good conditions in both weeks allowing us to go to Sha'ab Abu Nuhas twice for extensive wreck diving and to our surprise a couple of dolphin dives and snorkel experiences.

First paragliding attempts
Last Weekend I had my first flight with a paraglider and it was great. I definitely will do that more often from now on. We did an intro course, which was about 3 hours in total. All this actually started as a birthday present for Matthes, where I decided to join in.
First Curacao Impressions
I'm here in Curacao for the first time in my life and I have to say I really enjoy it. It is damn hot and sunny with some clouds from now and then.
We arrived on sunday at the evening and were welcomed from Bianca from the Curacao Tourist Board. We all were a bit dizzy from the flight and just fell into the bed almost instantly. We (Sylvie, Andi and me) are attending the Curacao Dive Festival were Andi is giving some talks and I am writing a webcast on digideep. So far we have been diving the mornings and early afternoons and then attended the various presentations about underwater photography or videography in various resorts around the island.
Lars @ Bern Grand-Prix 2007
As Torsten asked three months ago I just accidentally said yes to join in and attend the Bern Grand Prix 2007. The Bern Grand Prix is a 10 miles (16km) run through Bern city and the biggest event of its kind in Switzerland. This year more than 24,000 runner took part and ran through the beautiful city of Bern and through a enthusiastic crowd standing along the way.
Sushi Dinner
On wednesday I invited some colleagues and my neighbours to have a sushi dinner at my place. As nobody had prior experiences in making sushi before
I just prepared everything and then we made the sushi together. Actually we made maki rolls the whole evening as it is the easiest one to make. I tried
some nigiri, which came out ok, but I spend to much time for it. But most of the maki's came out quite nicely and it seems that everybody enjoyed the
evening. Afterwards I've been taught Poker by Matthes and Tine, but could grasp their enthusiasm for the game.
