This english version of it’s a hoomygumb is still under construction. The older German posts are gradually translated into English language. New posts will be available within a few days after the German publication. So long, have fun with my reports and thank you for the fish… 😉 Jay F Kay

360 degree images with the panoramic camera Ricoh Theta
As a huge fan of panoramic images, I have already tried out a few Apps which let you easily create 360° panoramas. This works really well provided nothing is moving in the picture and you have a steady hand or use a tripod. It’s really awkward when lots of people are moving around in the…

The “legendary camel burger” at the Emirates Palace Hotel is recommended in just about every guide book on Abu Dhabi. Since I have eaten camel meat several times and enjoyed it, this has been on my to-do list for a long time. Last time I stayed at the Emirates Palace I was not able to taste…

Tried: Mobile internet on the plane. Wi-Fly by Etihad Airways.
I was really delighted when I boarded the Etihad Airways Airbus A330-300 from Zurich to Abu Dhabi and discovered the adjacent Flyer. This “Get connected with Etihad Wi-Fly” had to be tried and as soon as the E-box, the on-demand in-flight entertainment system of Etihad Airways, could be used, I retrieved the information thus available.…

The Panorama Lounge at Zurich Airport
Before my flight to Abu Dhabi, my path led me to the Panorama Lounge at Zurich Airport. This is on the third floor of Pier E and is ideal for a relaxing wait before boarding; the E departure gates can all be reached within a few minutes. Although it wasn’t packed, the spacious lounge was quite…
