Final day in Leipzig

This trip was worth its time. Now I am a little bit sick so we stayed at home today. But the past days we have been out every day. I've seen the town and in the evenings we have been in several pubs and bars. We even met Martin on Friday for a delicous dinner at his flat! On Saturday Basti and I went to the famous zoo of Leipzig. It was raining, but after a while the sun came threw in the evening. Afterwards we went to Moritzbastei (check its history [in German]) for they had like Wednesday again "All you can dance" at this evening. At half past three we finally went to bed for being prepared for our Sunday-tour.

On Sunday we have been in Dresden. But to be honest, I preffer Leipzig. Dresden is... too much. Of course it has this nice buildings and monuments, but it is too much. You have less space than in Leipzig to watch the buildings from distance. And tourists are everywhere. And the weather is worse. It was raining all the time. After the culture-program (one museum and a lot of walking along monuments) we went to several pubs and had a lot of fun.
In two hours I will be on my way to the airport. In four hours my plane will land in Cologne. Tomorrow I will go to Aachen to fix (hopefully) my diploma thesis. Day after tomorrow will be my last day in Germany for months - again.

Aller guten Dinge sind drei

On Friday we had a party at Norrmalms. And because the party room looses power at 12pm everybody had to bring candles. Cool idea. In the morning I felt a little bit dizzy. I guess, due to Matt's Whiskey-Coke. At a Whiskey-Cola by Matt Coke is only used for giving the Whiskey a slightly darker color. On Saturday we have been to Kårhuset the first time since weeks, because Marcolino, Thomas and Jens were working there for the first time all together on one evening. And surprisingly the party it was very good. First we conquered a private party at the upper floor. It was meant for some Swedish students, but they were already drunk and not caring about who enters the dinner room. And they had a cool Live-band who played only good rock. They stopped at half past 1 and the last two hours we sticked to the usual dance floor who did not have the usual annoying Swedish chart music. I cannot recall what they were playing, because most songs I did not know, but it was funny. Somehow, this se...

Ut

Emptying the room you spend your erasmus studies in is a strange feeling. My room I had for 50 weeks, after having lived 6 months in 20A. Almost one year in this little cabin. Seeing the room finally empty is not that strange. It even holds something exciting, since it means you move on. But carrying your stuff piece by piece out of the room is like watching a picture book from old times. It is not really a sad feeling, but you remember a lot of small things that seemed to be forgotten. But all my stuff did not vanish, of course. It just moved further to the living room, a place where almost every leaving exchange student has to spend some time. For me it will be a week. And it is not such a mess as it should be used for me. All in all I do not have so much stuff as I had expected. I guess it will fit all in this old crappy suitcase I have. However, I look forward to packing, for it means I will have to sort a lot of things out I would not look at again, anyway. And the stuff that rema...

First week

Now it has been almost a week since I came back and I remember why: because of the summer. It is the most beautiful season here. And I tried to take advantage of the weather. I got a new bicycle for I changed my small blue one with Anna's big yellow bike. Funny, it is the same modell as mine in Germany - just bigger. My first ride was to Sidsjön two days ago to have a picknick there. The day after I repaired the brakes and today I bought a new lock and oil for the chain. This evening it rained and tomorrow shall be the ugly weather, too. I want to try to use the next sunny day for a small tour. Probably the road along Sidsjön out of Sundsvall.
