NO travelogue of our moped tour through Vietnam in 2025 Who the fuck are we? We'd like to briefly introduce ourselves. My wife Kerstin, born in 1966, is a winemaker, saleswoman, and all-rounder, and I, Rainer, born in 1960, a craftsman, project manager, and jack-of-all-trades.

Our hotel, the Rove Marina, was absolutely fantastic! Great service from Omar and everyone else, wonderful rooms,

The starting point for our world trip?? Dubai A fascinating country! The first step into our new life. Great anticipation is building, and the planning for this amazing trip begins. Flights and hotels are searched for and booked immediately without hesitation. (Without checking where the hotel is, but more on that later.) Of course, we wanted to experience as much as possible. There are so many sights and so much to explore that it's really hard to decide. We watched a lot of

Our first big trip outside of Europe took us to Dubai for various reasons. Kerstin will surely report on it. We noticed the following contrasts on site, which we will examine in the individual sections: Expensive - Cheap Rich - Poor Hot - Cold Modern - Traditional Big City - Deserted Area Security - Surveillance Clean - … Dubai is often viewed disparagingly by our acquaintances as a synthetically constructed city with a glossy, high-gloss appearance.
