it's time to update my journal...
i'm in Vienna again for over a week now. working in Abu Dhabi was great. there was always a lot to do at the Austrian Embassy / commercial section, but it was also lots of fun.
right now i am in a christmas mood (already). must be the cold weather here. at least it feels rather cold since it was about 25°C warmer in the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai changes so quickly. it is insane what they are building there... very futuristic, and beautiful too. i should upload some photos soon.
When i got back to Vienna again i noticed how lovely the city is, especially all of the old buildings and churches. it seems like i didn't really pay attention to it anymore after living there for some time. but the Emirates and Austria are just 2 different worlds. i somehow feel at home in both countries.
i have not been very active on deviantart for a while. but i submitted a calendar yesterday. the one from last year is also for sale as a 2008 calendar. and i am working on a bright & happy one too.
my messages have piled up (over 3000 messages!! wow), not because i'm popular but because i am so slow at replying...
most of them are favs. there are even some crazy people that +fav about 20 of my images in a few minutes. it makes me happy when someone likes my art.
and thank you for all of the wonderful comments too. i really appreciate them.
