Start

Well, Hm. Wie starte ich? Auf Englisch, Deutsch? Well, since I am in an English speaking country I should consider English. Aber die Muttersprache ignorieren? Immerhin, die Sprache der Dichter und Denker, oder? However, in a globalized world, English is a must.

Mal sehen, ich werde mich wohl spontan leiten lassen. And I will start in English. Besides, I used the genitive "s" - so this is meant to be in English.

I am in Uganda. It is the Pearl of Africa. I cannot really judge this, but others who should be able to do this, have confirmed it. Therefore, I believe it. I just like it. Especially today. It is a wonderful sunny day. A holiday, a Muslim holiday, which depends on the moon. Most colleagues made fund of the moon dependence. It is strange, indeed. However, the determination of Easter is also not trivial... Just take this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computus

The reason for today's holiday is described in the Bible, by the way: Abraham was asked to sacrisfice his son and then God allowed him to grill a sheep instead (1 Moses 22 with its climax in 1 Mose 22:12) - and today the New Zealanders make a big business with exporting sheep to Muslim countries.
