Who we are

As two students who decided to take a gap year abroad we have currently based ourselves in Jerusalem from where we are exploring the Middle Eastern region. Amidst all the political and religious conflicts in this country we often find ourselves looking for ways to escape from this sometimes brutal reality. Our working experience with locals has been absorbing and inspiring, but also gave us deep insight into how much divided society is. 
This blog is a new attempt for us to break out, take a step back and reflect on what we are seeing here by sharing it. This may not make a lot of sense to others, but Oberbrandig has proven to us as a useful tool to get new insight into serious topics and at the same time distract us in an entertaining way. 
As europeans we can try to understand the difficult situation of this region without having to get envolved emotionally. Our way of doing that is through serious comedy.
