Waching daily Jun 16 2018

As I make preparations for this year's "Destination" videos —

and I have a couple of interesting places lined up for you —

I thought it would be a good idea to give you a couple of tips

on planning your own trip to Germany.

I may have mentioned some of these in previous videos,

but they certainly bear repeating.

This isn't going to be about things like where to get a SIM card or how to deal with the money:

this is going to be about planning an itinerary,

and in particular about some of the mistakes I see tourists make quite frequently.

Perhaps the biggest mistake

is the one frequently made by visitors from places that are a bit further away,

like the Americas, Australasia or Asia.

It's "the Mad Dash".

I understand completely

that this may be your only chance ever of visiting the country,

so the temptation is to cram in as much as you possibly can.

You want to see all the famous places, so you plan a whistle-stop tour

taking in a dozen cities in as many days.

The problem here is that it means you'll be spending more time travelling

than actually seeing anything.

If, for example, you've booked one night in Munich followed by one night in Hamburg,

you'll be very lucky if you have some time even for sightseeing.

So resist that urge.

Instead, choose a part of Germany that you'd like to see most,

and base yourself in one city.

If you're in Germany for more than about a week,

choose two places in different parts of the country if you want a bit of variety.

That gives you time to properly see the city that you're visiting,

to take in the nightlife without having to worry about getting up early the next morning,

to relax, and to plan a couple of day trips to nearby places.

For a big city, my advice is to first take a sightseeing tour

and make a note of the attractions that particularly interest you.

Then later you can return to them and see them properly in your own time.

Germany is bigger than a lot of people expect:

it's about the size of Montana.

Getting from one end of the country to the other can take nearly a day.

And always remember that any journey can take longer than you planned for:

trains and planes can be delayed or cancelled,

and on the roads traffic jams are a thing.

Flying is an option for longer distances,

but there are quite a few things you need to factor in.

You first have to get to the airport,

drop off your very carefully packed luggage

and then go through security.

At the other end you have to wait for your luggage again,

then you have to make your way from the airport to your hotel, hostel, Airbnb or whatever.

Remember that budget airlines often fly to airports

that are a long way from the place that you're actually trying to get to.

The worst of these is "Munich West" Airport,

which is actually Memmingen Airport, and it's over 100 km away from Munich.

If you're looking for the "typical Germany"... it doesn't really exist.

The usual stereotypes you might be thinking of right now are probably mostly Bavarian —

and not even typically Bavarian: they are specifically Upper Bavarian.

If what you want is majestic mountains with snowy peaks,

they exist only in the extreme south of Germany:

you might instead consider Austria or Switzerland.

What most Germans call "mountains" are in fact mittelgebirge,

which are basically very rugged hills.

They can be lovely, even spectacular: definitely worth a look.

But they're still not the kind of terrain Heidi would recognize as "home".

And much of northern Germany is very flat.

But don't ignore it. It may not be what you have in mind when somebody says "Germany",

but it can still be stunningly beautiful.

Plus, if you enjoy cycling, it's perfect.

But the basic and most important message here is: Don't try to cram everything in.

Pace yourself. Give yourself time to relax.

You really don't have to make a list as long as your arm of things to do

so that you can cross them off as you do them.

That is how I make my "Destination" videos.

And I do that so that you don't have to.

Thanks for watching. If you'd like to send me a postcard, here's the address.

How to live in your heart? Tarot Reading by Alejandro Jodorowsky for Pablo - Duration: 10:20.

Dear Pablo

J Abona

Abona is your mother surname

and the J

and the J with the point that you put before

is your father surname

it means

that you prefer

call yourself

by the branch

of your maternal genealogical tree

you are 43 years old

a age of great maturity

I thank you

for your collaboration

to my film

Poesia Sin Fin

It is an interchange

you collaborate

and I promise you to read the Tarot and here we are

Sorry for the delay

I need to tell you that the Tarot

doesn't tell the future..

I'm reading the present in relation with the past

and I say what the Tarot is saying, I don't have visions

the Tarot is a langage

graphic

You choose 3 numbers

The 3

15

and the 1

and you asked a question really..

poetic

When

the steps

of my path

Which one are the steps of my path

in my path

to live in my heart

Which are the steps that I need to do in my life to live in my heart?

Generally you see

in our sexist society

the man is thinking and the woman is..

the beauty, the love

in this type of things the intuition

says that the man is the brain

and the woman the heart

It is a prejudice that has conduct us

to the crisis that we are, actually, a destructive crisis

but because you are 43 years old

since 43 years

that was there alive

so you are telling me

How do I abandon

the steps

in the path

that my father teaches me

to live in a path

that my mother shows me

that's how I see it

and you choose 3 cards, Look at the cards you choose

to begin

with a feminine card

It start with the Impress

it means

you need to find

the woman

it means that you have all the value

the 3 is full of qualities

but

you don't know where to go

because she still need to pass through the 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9

it means that

it is a gestation

it is a full energy

but like you

without knowing

where to go

then you choose

an answer that you give to yourself

it means the Devil

here the Devil

is

a character

with 2 sexes

masculine

and a breast you see?

It is blue, an ideal character

it is the alchemical androgynous

you see?

building itself between a man

and a woman

that are fully tied

to the ground

of a creation together

in equal

values

this means, they are complementaries

both have the brain, the heart

the sex

and both the brain, the heat and the body

and the sex and the body

it means what the one have, the other have too

It is a complementary

and sometime they doesn't need to complement themselves because

both are complementary

but they find a path

of creation together

as equal conditions

the myth

that my partner complete myself

doesn't exist in our century

the man is the action

and the woman the reception

right?

when 2 beings

complete themselves

they are one

in a creation together

it is what it is

create a family

create material goods

create art

create a political change

it is a union between them

and then you arrive here

to the third one, this is yourself

and in the third one

desiring this

to achieve this

it is like you are saying it is the path that I want

to find a woman

it can be a man too

with which I can

make a creation together

I want

to work

in what I like

with someone that like me

and what I like

a constructive element

to create

to create my immotality

my friend

if everybody want to arrive to that

to the immortality

it is a finality

that probably doesn't arrive in this incarnation

but there is a finality

of what the universe impose us, right?

develop yourself, develop yourself

until you are a pure spirit

you and the universe

you are here like the magician

it means that you have all the elements on the table

you have the creative skills

material skills

you have everything

but you eliminated

the J of the father

so you need

you need

to meet a woman

and going very deep

in the psychological aspect, but it is how it went

like you eliminated the father

i can't be a father

because I have a conflict with the father

being a father

it means

become him

becoming him is what you don't want

because he made me suffer

so you offer everything

to your partner

but you don't offer

the paternity

the creation of a creation together

the meeting of a man and a woman

wa have biologically

part of finding the supreme pleasure

the cosmic orgasm

like the Devil

you have the goal

to create a family

it is the animal goal

essential

that's why the nature has create us but nature wants something else

it is the construction of the soul

the construction of the divine androgyn

So..

to find your way

a place to live with your heart

so don't look for the ideal woman

amazing, wonderful

mythical

mother, your mother

but decide to give yourself completely

in this couple relationship

because the realization of the man

and all humans being

minimum as a couple it is not a total loneliness

and there you'll find

the heart that you are looking for

there is a zen proverb that is saying when you are on the top of a mast

you can't go down

you can't it is impossible

what do you do?

and the monk

answer

and by the way the monk haven't done it because the monk is a single man and lonely

so he replied when you are there and can't go down

give a step

into the nothingness

give a step into the nothingness

there

there to give yourself completely

to the person as complete as yourself

Thank you for listening carefully

Sri Lanka delay play for 90 minutes in West Indies ball-tampering row - Sport News - Duration: 1:34.

 Sri Lanka delayed the start of the third day of the second Test against West Indies by 90 minutes in a ball-tampering row

 Umpires Aleem Dar and Ian Gould decided to change the match ball, which was 44.3 overs old, ahead of the start of play after ruling Sri Lanka had altered its condition on day two

 Following discussions between officials and players, match referee Javagal Srinath upheld the umpires' decision and awarded five penalty runs to the West Indies, taking their total to 123-2 in response to Sri Lanka's 253 all out

 The tourists eventually took to the field at 10.50am, 50 minutes after the scheduled start

 But skipper Dinesh Chandimal argued with umpires before a ball was bowled.  Sri Lanka then gathered on the boundary and, after further negotiations with officials and coaching staff, Lahiru Kamara finally resumed his 14th over at 11

30am.  The West Indies batsmen selected a replacement ball to be used for the resumption of their innings

 West Indies won the first Test of the three-match series.

Competing In The Alternate World Cup Is A Dream Come True For Tibet - Duration: 9:18.

Competing In The Alternate World Cup Is A Dream Come True For Tibet

The first time he touched a football, Gelek Wangchuk was 9 years old.

It was in a settlement of Tibetan refugees in Himachal Pradesh, in northern India, where he and other Tibetan boys attended the Tibetan Childrens Village, a school founded by the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader.

I didnt know how to play, I didnt have any [football] kit.

But I had a lot of interest, said Wangchuk, now 26.

I started playing football only for enjoyment without any shoes..

Wangchuk became good — so good that he is now a midfielder on the Tibetan national team representing his country at the Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA) World Cup.

The ten-day tournament in London brings together 16 teams from nations, minorities and regions not part of FIFA to compete in an alternative World Cup.

The competitors include the Romani people, the North American region of Cascadia, Matabeleland, Panjab and United Koreans in Japan.

CONIFAs constitution states that members are eligible to join if they are football outsiders [overlooked] by FIFA or left behind by their mother country.

New members are voted in by existing CONIFA members.

Since 1950, Tibet has been ruled by China, and many Tibetans have fled to other countries for a better life and more opportunities.

Its national team consists of 22 young men with Tibetan roots, now living in Nepal, India, Canada, the United States and France, all playing football in the name of their ancestral homeland.

Players are recruited on the basis of their performance in the Tibetan settlement tournament, held in India every year.

It is Tibets first ever CONIFA World Cup game since the tournament started in 2014, and the teams first trip to England.

The green spaces and parks in London remind Wangchuk of Tibet, where as a boy he shepherded sheep and cows in the pastures.

It is a dream to play for the national team. the midfielder says.

Football is the game that can make your country proud, whether you win or lose.

I feel proud to play for my nation..

Wangchuk has never been back to Tibet since escaping on his mothers advice in the middle of the night, 17 years ago.

She had said to him that in India, he would have more opportunities to study and work.

If he remained in Tibet, she told him, he would have no education and have to do construction work.

He trekked two months through the snow-covered Himalayas, accompanied by strangers.

A month ago, Wangchuk was able to get in touch with a family member, his sister, for the first time since he left, using the Chinese messaging app WeChat.

She told him that their mother had died.

He said that they are not able to talk about politics, the Tibetan situation or even Indian society, because the Chinese government will know. But he did tell his family he would be playing on the national team.

His sister cried of happiness.

Passang Dorjee, the executive secretary for the Tibetan National Sports Association (TNSA) — which the football team is part of — said the organization was the brainchild of the Dalai Lamas younger sister, Kasur Jetsun Pema.

She thought this association was very important for Tibetans in exile and especially for the young people, Dorjee says.

It was a great way to show our country to the world..

The players arent professional footballers and seldom have the chance to play together.

Most are full-time students.

For this tournament, the team only had the chance to train together in London just nine days before the start of the event.

Their football kit was sponsored by COPA, an athletic clothing company; the flights and other expenses were paid for by the Tibetan Central Administration and public donations.

Dorjee said his predecessor tried to enlist the team into FIFA but was told that it did not meet eligibility rules, since Tibet is not recognized as a country but rather an autonomous region of China.

He said it is disappointing for countries like Tibet not to be able to compete in the FIFA World Cup, but that he is very grateful to CONIFA for giving them such an opportunity.

We might not have freedom, but we are one country, he says, sitting in lotus position on the sides of the football pitch.

The chance to play is especially rewarding, given the fact that the team had trouble securing a visa.

While the average wait time for a UK visa is up to two weeks, some team members waited 45 days.

We didnt know if we would make it or not, says Pema Lhundup, the 21-year-old striker.

I feel like there was a lot of pressure on England from the Chinese government..

But now in London the team has broken records — attendance records.

Playing against Northern Cyprus at the Enfield Town stadium, the Tibetan team was cheered by 1,200 spectators – the biggest crowd ever at the venue.

And while they lost 3-1, the players were not discouraged.

We feel really glad to represent our country through sport, here in the Mecca of football, Lhundup says.

Before flying in for the tournament, the team received an audience with the Dalai Lama, who gave them his blessing and told them to be Tibetans and to show compassion even on the field.

Says Dawa Tashi, the 30-year-old defender: It was one of the happiest moments of my life.
