Leipzig #1

I arrived yesterday by plane in Leipzig and the flight took only 45 minutes. From the airport I travelled to the centre of Leipzig by train. Of course, my train left the station as soon as I made a footstep at the platform. Therefor I had to wait for the next one. If you ever travel the same way, be aware that the train, although it heads every time into the same direction, leaves from different tracks. I almost had to wait a second time...
Finally having arrived at Basti's flat we ate and went out again. And I've been at one of the coolest for going out. It's called Moritzbastei and it is student club. My vocabulary says "bastei" means "bastion". I hope you can handle that. Moritzbastei is the Leipzig version of a Kårhuset. It is huge. Really really huge. It does not only cover a huge area with several floors, but its rooms are also several meters high. And according to a sign in the entrance it is from the 16th century. It's fun to imagine that ancient people walked and worked here and today people dance and drink here. Drinks are cheap and the music was quite good. We danced really a lot and I cannot remember the time we went home. But I fall to sleep immidiatly when I just sit on my bed waiting for the bathroom.
Today we did not much. It is hot and I don't want to move. We've been out for lunch at late midday. After the Siesta we go now to town. Shopping and Icecream for cooling down. I like that city.

Back to the places you will be from

The last day in Sweden went pretty well. After the morning I was finished with everything I had to fix. I brought back all my books to the library, picked up my copies of my diploma thesis, picked up the last stuff from my office, said good bye to Aron, changed my address at the Skatteverket, canceled my bank account and was back at Nacksta before 2pm. At 7pm I've been at Norrmalms and helped Marlies and Annemiek baking appelflappen . But I was rather useless than an effective support. Especially at half past 7 when my last Friends episode in Sweden started. The last for me. Since 8 I was sitting in the basement waiting for people. I do not know exactly when, but I think the first arrived at 9. And it was really nice. And I got the nicest present I could imagine. Well, I could not imagine it before! It is a memory game with pictures of all student from last semester. No picture is twice, so the game is about finding two different pictures of the same person. It even has a box title

Holidays

More and more students arrive at Nacksta. Now I know from 5 new students. There are likely more, but we do not know them, yet. Yesterday evening we made a short trip to the Irish Pub in Sundsvall for it was Ulrich last Wednesday in Sundsvall and for it was the first Wednesday for the new students. At the moment I have no daily routine. If am not out in this beautiful weather I try to work on my thesis. Somehow, I only find in the afternoon and in the evening the "flow". But tomorrow I will make a brake, because I go to holidays! Holidays? "What does HE wants with holidays?" you likely think. Well, it is a difference if you just have limited time and a bunch of amazing opportunities or if you just don't have to think about anything. Tomorrow, my train will leave at 12am from Sundsvall. On Sunday evening I will come back. In the meanwhile I will meet my family in Orsa and stay with them for 3 days. The picture is from my brother and his girlfriend yesterday eveni

Masked party and first time in Tornvillan

The last week was passing quickly. During the days I worked on my thesis. In the end it even made some fun. I am only rewriting it at the moment trying to get a link between all chapters and finish ideas that I had in early chapters but never mentioned later again. The evenings became a lot quieter than they have been only two weeks before. I already start thinking about what I pack into my luggage in a week and what I leave here. That is fun. However, imagine to leave this room in two days is sad somehow. During the week Peppo had the great idea for having a mask-party. Because our neighbours have small children we moved the party to the old party flat (former italian flat), since we never had any problems with the neighbours. Until now. Already after 11 the police aksed us to calm down, since the drunken old lady from 18b had complained about the noise. Strange. The party was really cool, but not as loud as the partys before, since nobody was singing. So, we moved already before midn
