Going Veg
on Oct.09, 2011, under Brainstorming, Veg
As some of you may know, for about a month now I haven’t been eating meat.
Last week (well actually on the 29th of September) I decided to become a Vegetarian.
I think my major factors were:
- Environment
Did you know that the meat industry causes more CO2 emissions than all of our Transport combined?
that includes all of the Cars, Airplanes, Ships, everything!
Did you also know that for 1KG of beef the industry uses 16,000 Liters of water (?!)
Did you know that 80% of the Corn in the US is for feeding animals?
although 17.2 Million households are food insecure
Turns out even the UN agrees,
Meat Is NOT Green - Health
Heart disease is killing more than 600,000 people a year in the US,
and it is the major cause of death for people over 65.
The connection between eating animals products and Heart disease is
undeniable. - Compassion
Although it should be the first, it wasn’t the factor that actually made me move
to being a vegetarian. This factor is getting more important these days though.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video has about 30 frames per second.

Rehberge Park & Plötzensee
on Oct.03, 2011, under Berlin
Today I went walking to Rehberge Park, which is 10 minutes
from my house, and honestly, I can’t believe I didn’t go there sooner.
Living for about 3 months in Wedding, this was my first walk in the park,
and I will surely come more often from now on.

A very nice Indie festival, I was really impressed with Team Me

Birthday
on Sep.18, 2011, under Berlin
Today is the first birthday I celebrate since moving to Germany.
In the past year I have done quite a lot.
Essentially, I’ve changed from being a young guy
having most of my life taken care of,
to a completely independent person.
all that In a foreign country with but a
basic understanding of the language and the way things work.
I overcame a lot of difficulties,
and definitely got help from friends I met along the way.
I would never have thought that I would come this far.
Not in a year.
It’s a great birthday.
One which I’ll definitely remember.
