Welcome aboard
Right. I am no longer the sole editor of this weblog. It is my pleasure to welcome my mate Schwartz aboard - live and direct from Philadelphia in the United States. I am actually quite glad to share the burden of maintaining a weblog passionately read by at least 2 (or 3?) people all over the world (...). A couple of weeks ago, I even got an email from a German conspiracy-theorist-dude encouraging me to keep up the good work. Is that the audience we are looking for? Anyway. All publicity is good publicity.
Schwartz and I will be heading East this year. I am going to Kyrgyzstan and Schwartz is going to get first-hand insights into the Israel-Palestine conflict. So, why not sharing thoughts, impressions and lessons learnt? Keep yourself updated on the voyages of two SOAS-students to the Wild East. Besides all that, Schwartz (or Chris, whatever you prefer) is going to be the 'moral correspondent' of this blog - reflecting on philosophical issues, religious matters, etc. The name - Central Asia Weblog - has to change then, obviously. We'll keep you updated about any further changes. Subscribe to the newsletter for that purpose, too.
Herzlich Willkommen Schwartz. Mitunter wieder in Philadelphia (wo er sich als Pferdekutscher seine Kröten verdient), wird er sich zunächst aus den USA und ab Juli diesen Jahres aus Israel in diesem Blog zu Wort melden. Seine Artikel hier sind hauptsächlich in zwei Kategorien zu verfolgen: Reflections (religiös-Philosophisches) und Oasis of Peace (dem Log über seinen Israel-Aufenthalt in der Oase des Friedens).
