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...

Friday Night

Wednesday and thursday where only university days. My robot can walk now from A to B and reacts properly to simple obstacles. But he has a problem with bigger obstacles. Those, who are interested in it: I covered the pathfinding algorithm from the algorithm for Bresenham-lines and added some simple reactions to obstacles. But I think I have to redesign it, because of the big-obstacle-problem. He needs a memory where he has already been on his path and he needs to calculate the path before he starts to walk on it. On friday I did nothing special. I phoned StuBo for moving to 16B, I could only speak on a recorder. Better luck next time. I also contacted my home university for some bureucracy stuff. I guess this will never end until I would leave Germany. Not that I plan to do it (I hear the rumors arising again). But I hate this German behaviour first to think about rising for denying service. For my financial support from the state, I need two applications from the university. But the d...
