Back to Austria October.21.2007
I am back to austria and in the next 3 or 4 month i will work on FM
from here. In this time i will concentrate on video publications,
but of course there will also be animations like always.
After that I will go to china again, where i will tape hundreds of
insructional martial arts vids for the new video section.
Please keep checking the video section in the next few days,
because there will be the first few capoeira, aikido and karate kyukoshin
videos soon.
For those who are interested in how Flash Mavi is created:
That's how the workstations I use in austria look like.

Travelling Part 4 October.16.2007
Today i went to Lima again.
I have actually been here 5 times already, but i never came here to
see stuff.
Today it was the first time I went to the beach and the
"Plaza de Armas" in the center.
... and i must say ... I was really surprised.
There are some really nice places in Lima.
The city reminds me a bit to L.A.
There is place on the beach that just look like a Redondo Beach
and Sant Monica. The same shops, he same food, the same look.
And there is a huge Marriot Hotel that gives the area an american
look from a far distance.
The center of Lima is really nice too. Clean and "looks" pretty safe.
Here are a few pictures from the places me and my laptop visited:

Travelling Part 3 October.14.2007
Today I planned to go to Machu Picchu, but unfortuneately i wasn't able to purchase the train ticket from cusco to machu picchu in time.
Either way i didn't have enough money for them.
It's a shame how much the prices raised since Machu Picchu became
one of the 7 world wonders.
Machu Picchu is a 4 hours train ride from cusco and if you don't have a peruan ID you have to pay a special price for foreigners
( about 20 times more than people from peru )
It's 100 to 150 USD for the train ride and 120 soles to enter the area.
If you are from peru you only pay 30 soles for the train and 60 to enter the area. Because I was going to invite 3 more people,
it would have cost at least 600 USD. ( for just 3 hours Machu Picchu )
Seriously... I prefer staying a few days at Six Flags or Disney World.
Instead of going to Machu Picchu we stayed in Cusco and went to a couple museums. It was really interesting and i can just recommend it.
If course I wanna see Machu Picchu later.
Maybe when I am a millionair (;
And if anybody wants to go there, I recommend you save a lot of money or wait until they take the 7 world wonder title away again, because overcharging foreigners is discrimintion and if they keep charging like this, I am sure they won't keep the title.
Here are a few picture from Cusco - Peru:

Bolivia - Titicaca - Sun Island - Part 2 October.10.2007
Today i carried all the Flash Mavi tutorials to Sun Island - Lake Titicaca.
Well... I am currently travelling around in south america and because I am too afraid of leaving the work from the last 3 month in a hotel room,
I always carry my laptops with me.
Tomorrow all the files from my website will move to Cusco - Peru and
next week i will fly back to Austria.
Here are some more pictures.

On the way back to Austria October.10.2007
Today I left La Paz Bolivia and right now I am on the way to
Lima - Peru, from where i will take a plane to Madrid.
I will play tourist until the 17th of october, so there will not be
much new stuff on FM until then.
However...
if I get bored travelling around, I might work on some new tutoriols at the same time.
And if I meet some capoeira people on my way, of course i will
video tape them and publish their videos later.
Here are some pictures from where I am right now.

On Friday I wil go to Cusco ( Machu Puchu )

An update on the coming Caporeira Videos October.07.2007
Today I finished taping the videos for the new capoeira video section.
So very soon there will be over 50 instructional video tutorials for
capoeria.
I taped the videos with an awesome capoeira group in La Paz Bolivia.
Some of them lived and trained in brazill for years - or are from brazil.
Their website is pequenosmandingueiros.8m.com
There will be over 50 videos for different techniques and flips.
Here are a few pictures of the group.
Thanx for your contribution to FM...

Not all the members performing for flashmavi.com are on this picture.

Please be patient...
Because I will be travelling through south america the next week,
I
will not be able to publish the capoeira videos right away.
I will start uploading the stuff when i am back in austria.
( in around 2 weeks )
At the same time i will start publishing 30 aikido videos and 50 karate kyokushin clips. ( katas etc. )
Widged FM October.05.2007
Did you ever think about showing a flash mavi tutorial on your site
or Blog ??? Now you can !!!
I created a widet box with the newest totorial as flash file and everybody
is allowed to use it for free.
The tutorial in the box changes every day and your users can see the
newest instruction of FM without leaving your site.
Currently there is only one widget box for flash mavi, so there might be
a gymnatics tutorial today and a yoga instruction tomorrow.
Within the next 2 weeks i will try to add different widget boxes for
different martial arts etc.
So if you are interested in this new feature,
keep checking my blog for updates.
To get a Flash Mavi widget box, click the black button that says "get my widget for your site" ( bottom of the left side menu )
Bolow you can see what the first FM widget looks like today.
Keep in mind that there will be a differnt instruction eyery day and you
will only have to copy the widget box code once.
SAMPLE BOX
PS: of course it would be awesome if you would link to www.flashmavi.com in exchange for showing my tutorials.
But if you don't wannna, you can still use my widgets.
Regards ppl.

New Month New Tutorials October.01.2007
Last month Flash Mavi had more than 190.000 visits.
As you can see, there are tons of new tutorials...
... and more than 30 lessons were redesigned last month.
So keep telling your friends about Flash Mavi and if you have your own website, you can exchange a link with FM. ( as long as it is sport related )
The more visitors FM gets, the more lessons will be featured.
Something else: Due to the great popularity increase last month,
at least one lesson will be tranlated into spanish every day.
If you want to support Flash Mavi, tell your friends and inform forum frineds about FM.
