Extreme frosting. This is the view I had from the Pool in Brasil on Wednesday:

And this was taken today, Sunday at the Quebec Carnaval in Canada:

Defrosting and frosting again easier than expected and might even turn out to be healthy.

So last week we were in beautiful Salvador, Brasil and my cameraman exchanged the protecting goggles from BMW with these cool sunglasses.

Standing on a hill out in the favelas Haense Meier invented a technique that enables him to look through the lens while his 2nd eye is still protected from the sun. amazing!

Tomorrow we take off for Quebec, Canada.
Apple weather widget says it is -19 degrees celsius there.

on todays shoot at the BMW production plant in Bavaria, Germany, we had to wear protecting glasses. While I chose a rather futuristic look, my cameraman Haense Meier went straight for these retro 70s goggles.

is just one of the local specialities here in shanghai. We were also served chicken feet and frog parts. The people work 12 hour shifts for 1 € per hour and I saw a woman carrying her young boy who suffers from elephantasis on a trolley in order to make some money out of him. This place makes me think of martial arts.
