A new TV feature about "Welt der Gifte" (and myself):
Typisch! Dr. Kley - Gift ist seine Leidenschaft
Typisch! Dr. Kley - Gift ist seine Leidenschaft
Very cool and some great enclosures and species.
WdG wishes its fans and visitors a Happy New Year!
Funny anecdote: I somehow thought that I had seen the man of the elderly couple among yesterday's visitor group before. Turns out he's the current inspector of Zoo Berlin. We chatted afterwards for a bit and he congratulated me to the quality of the exhibition, both vocally and in an email he sent me today. That's quite a nice ending for 2018, which has been an at best so-so year for me personally.

Some good news, and some not so good ones.
First, the good news: the exhibition and, as a result, my very person has caught the eye of nationwide TV. Early March this year, WdG was featured at "Mein Nachmittag", a nationwide afternoon talkshow, as a relevant touristic attraction in Greifswald.
Afterwards, I was invited to a live talkshow of the Norddeutschen Rundfunk (NDR) last Saturday. All went well; the local staff was nice and interested, the broadcast went well and I was able to talk a little bit about the exhibition. The feedback by friends and family is good, and no one was injured or killed by the live venomous critters I brought along. If interested, I can provide the link to the relevant show (in German). Sitting in a VIP room where just recently Gisele Bündchen and pianist Lang Lang had stayed before or having makeup put on me was kinda surreal, but fine.
Furthermore, I've also been invited to appear as a guest of a gameshow of said NDR a bit later this month in correlation with the exhibition. I might be able to win some money there, so why not?
The not so good news: my project-bound working contract has expired, and there is currently no other suitable job available here. I'm going to continue with the exhibition in Greifswald till the end of May this year. But in the end, I will have to move elsewhere, maybe out of Germany.
Where this is going to be, has yet to be seen.
Qué será, será.

@TeaLovingDave Thank you. Given that the TV crew and the moderator were anything but animal-orientated (and pretty scared), it worked out quite well. The subtitles are mostly rubbish, btw.
