We are at The Villa (Rheine, Germany) as its known by the Tamai, the sole permanent resident and his band of merry men and women that work to continuously upgrade the place. Today, for example, Will and I helped them construct and install an above ground swimming pool. The Villa resembles many of the hostels weve stayed at in many ways - people always coming and going, a party place and a general hangout, as well as where we sleep.
We came to know Tamai when we were sitting on one of the many bridges that crosses Rheine. We started talking and got the invite to come hang out at his place. That was 3 days ago. I have some more general reflection, about Rheine, Berlin and Germany generally, but given my limited time at the moment, that will have to wait until the next entry. Thanks for tuning in.
Also, Tamai is a really great photographer - there is a facebook album from our time here called John and Will - its posted on my profile and the pictures are much better quality than what our jpeg camera can do. If you like the photos, check out more of his photos from all over the world. They are really good and worth a look. The website is in German but its simple enough that you can manage. www.tamai.de
