Now I'm already two weeks on the road, time to say Hallo from South America (travel plan attached):
On 6 January, it was with an almost brand new 747-8i (in summer 2014 delivered to LH) at 10:05 pm in Frankfurt off.
When I after 14 hours of night flight, crawled with my luggage through immigration, I only wanted to sing the DFB Gaucho rap. It´s the longest non-stop flight the LH has in his program. But then I stopped it, because otherwise they would have sent me back again.

residence of the President.
By October, this is still Cristina de Kirchner, who can not run again after 2 terms. In addition, the mysterious death of the prosecutor Nisman in the bath tub (reminiscent of Barschel) suggests high waves here. In popularity Mrs. Kirchner can not take it anyway with the dazzling Evita Peron which, although never been President, but is still revered by many Argentines of the lower classes, even in the Casa Rosada.
But also other historical people found on the walls there a place of honor:
Most Argentines are the 0: 1 by Rio now well made, especially as they are for the
7: 1 will be eternally grateful to the unpopular northern brothers. Only one has not already done coped and is aged years:
