Last six weeks

Brief note to cover past six weeks:

End of February my internet connection was down; the internet provider could not fix the problem for two weeks. After two weeks I changed internet provider. A new provider took one week to install a new internet connection.Beginning of March I went to Zagreb to see Roko. He charmed me. He was so tiny I was apprehensive to hold him. Roko's photos are at: http://picasaweb.google.com/gordie26/Roko11032010?authkey=Gv1sRgCPCG7Jbfkc-ELQ&feat=directlinkTwo weeks after first visit to Croatiia I was there again. Dad is bad. Mum is a hero. She does not give up. But I am more and more telling her to consider a professional care.While I was in Croatia beginning of March someone in Russia cleaned my checking account. My debit card was most likely cloned in Kiev and someone in Russia was taking money. To make a claim and hopefully get my money back I had to get a police report in Croatia. This was another adventure. Now I wait that someone at the bank processes my claim.For Easter weekend I went to Berlin. I had great time. Last time I visited Berlin was in 1990. Things changed substantially. Photos of Berlin are:http://picasaweb.google.com/gordie26/Berlin_04_10?feat=directlinkWhile most part of Eastern Berlin is beautifully restored some buildings yet have to be restored. On some facades bullet holes from WWII are still visible.

This weekend I am in A'dam. Lovely sunny weather but somewhat chilly.As hotels I usually stay where fully booked I decided to try something new. I ended in CitizenM hotel. Allegedly the hotel is very "in" place. It got many awards in 2009 and 2010. But awards aside this hotel was not for me. One night and I checked out. It upset me seeing a toilet seat in the middle of the room. I am now in a old fashioned and outdated hotel - but it is a relief to be able to close a bathroom door.
Next weekend I am of to Fiji for diving. Again via Seoul. On a way to Fiji I will not stay in Seoul overnight. But on way back to Kiev I'll stay in Seoul two days. I am looking forward to catch up with Ylona and Eleni. As it seems that the weekend I am in Seoul there is ANZA Ball I will be there with Ylona. Great
