Wer hat schon mal Stille Post gespielt? Als Kind bestimmt fast jeder. Aber als Erwachsener? Am Flughafen kann bzw. muss man dieses und weitere Spiele spielen.
Das geht so: Nachdem man sich nach Leibeskräften bemüht hat pünktlich am Gate zu sein, (dazu mit der Metro durch die ganze spanische Hauptstadt gefahren, quer durch den ganzen Flugfafen gewetzt ist, den Sicherheitscheck über sich ergehen lassen, bzw. die Arbeit der Flughafenpersonals noch mit erledigt hat (keiner befand es für notwendig die Gepäckkörbe richtig aufs Band zu schieben, sodass die Passagiere auf der anderen Seite vergeblich auf ihr Gepäck warteten, das noch gar nicht losgerollt war) und davor noch schnell den letzten Schluck Wasser ausgetrunken hat (auf der anderen Seite kann man ja die Flasche auf der Toilette mit Chlorwasser wieder auffüllen)), steht man sich zu guter Letzt am Gate die Beine in den Bauch (ach und hier erfährt man, dass für das Handgepäck der letzten Ankömmlinge oh Wunder kein Platz mehr an Bord ist. Das Handgepäck darf zwar kostenlos aufgegeben werden, verusacht aber am Zielflughafen Wartezeiten am Gepäckband, was das Verpassen der anvisierten S-Bahnen nach sich zieht).
So weit, so gut, äh schlecht. Hier in der Schlage vor dem Abflugsgate beginnt dann das Stille-Post-Spiel oder jedenfalls eines, das ihm ähnelt, aber noch keinen eigenen Namen hat.
Look around. In which society do we live and in which do we WANT to live?

Paris
Three days after the deadly attacks in Paris on Friday, 52 out of 608 of my Facebook friends still take part in the social network's "French flag campaign" by applying the filter to their profile pictures to show their support for France. So did I.
Why? For the moment it's not a gesture of politics, but of humanity. Of course one could ask, why I don't use a Syrian flag filter or other filters.
Well, firstly, I couldn't find other filters. Secondly, campaigns like these are only active in special circumstances, in Syria for example people are dying almost all the time. When exactly should I change my profile picture? Thirdly, France is a neighbouring country and in some parts of Germany Paris is closer than Berlin! Fourthly and most important: I really feel sorry for my French friends and people I spent time with during my Erasmus semester. These are the ones of my Facebook friends who mainly use the Frensh-flag-filter. In second place are the ones who spent a considerable time in that country.
Thus, applying the filter is a lot about personal consternation. I think at first there is nothing wrong with declaring one's solidarity right after the tragedy happened. You shouldn't blame people for doing so.

Scars of War

To put it short, scars of war are deep. Some are visible, others are not. Outsiders are astonished why the country still is not cleared of mines. To the present day, it's dangerous to go hiking in some parts of the mountains. At the sight of beautiful nature in Bosnia you can hardly imagine the hidden danger.

Bosnia and Herzegovina - a young country after the bloody war
Lethargy, distrust, but also hope
In Germany, many people don't know where to find Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) on the map. Well, it's the neighbouring country of Kroatia, where many tourists spend their summer holidays at the beach.

20 years after the Bosnian war in 1992 to 1995, people in BiH still struggle with the aftermath of war.
At the theatre, like at the Sarajevo war theatre, they try to come to terms with pain and hate.

Refugees in München - towards a brighter future
München, Southern Germany. A lot of refugees arrived here during the last days and weeks.
They try to find a new home, they try to find roads and tracks towards a brighter future.
Some are successful, others fail.
