... chinesische Bilderbuch und das Wörterbuch bleibt daheim, Kleidung nehme ich nur das Allernötigste für ein paar Tage mit, aber ich müsste mich in Bangkok oder Yangon ganz gut authentisch eindecken können.
Meine US-Devisen habe ich noch rechtzeitig vor der griechischen Tragödie des Euro gewechselt, so dass ich mich nicht mehr ärgern muss, nicht das Jahreshoch erwischt zu haben.

... He looked confused and asked why. I said they have to count the pills out and put them in bottles. I think he thinks our system is very old-fashioned! After a nap, Beatte took us out again. This time we went to Freiburg. We wandered through the university town and hopped over the street gutters. Leaving Frieburg, Beatte took us on a drive through the Black Forest. It was impressive compared to other forests in ...

... students which felt really weird!) They also put together some skits including making fun of the teachers…they pegged me pretty good with my classroom quirks and stuff. We all had a good laugh and enjoyed ourselves. We’ll miss them!

I’ve just gotten back into a normal sleep routine, as I had been waking up in the middle of the night for the last couple of months to watch the Red Wings play in the playoffs coming ...

... and then I have to grade it all and send it off to be checked. We have done a few reasonably successful labs and I think they should be in good shape.

After the Monday meeting this week a few of us went out for dinner which was nice. We went to a restaurant I had never been before which was yummy, although a little pricey. The best thing is that alcohol prices never really vary much. Even at a nice restaurant they are ...

... I avoided the actual camp…I don’t think I ever want to go back there.) By the time the sun starts getting lower in the sky I am heading back for Weimar. The return journey is great, a reward for the uphill trip. I really didn’t even pedal the whole way home.

The evening involved a dinner invitation at a colleague’s for some Chinese. It was a great time with a bunch of us Americans hanging out and talking about travel. Mrs. Martin ...

... and I just take it easy (hey what are Saturdays for anyway?) In the evening the alternative movie theatre is showing a Chilean movie and so the 3 americans head to see that. It’s called “En la cama” and it’s really a riot. It’s always nostalgic to hear the Chilean accent, references to Vina del Mar and Santiago, and the various fun grammar changes that made me grow so fond of the place. It was tough to understand ...

... in the afternoon. I met Anne in Iguazu, Argentina back a couple of years ago at a hostel and we hit it off back then and kept in touch. When I moved to Germany I told her, and we have been trying to visit each other for a while, but we are both travelers and it hasn’t worked out until now!

She arrives mid-afternoon on the train from Halle, and I walk to the train station to meet her. It was really weird to see her get off the train, and I ...

I've been walking for hours and I think that it's time for a b reak. I woke up at 09.00 and left my hostel by 09.30. I had no goal in mind, just to walk. That is all I've done wsince then. As I left Alte Oper I saw the Dom. I decided that I would find that and start from there. I wandered through little side streets admiring the German architecture and window shopping. Ic an't date the buildings very well. Some seem very old and others seems contemporary. The Rathause was compeltely ...

... day we took a really picturesque cable car ride up into the Black Forest, did a scenic walk and went into some very cool salt mines ... Frieburg was heaven!!! * Constance was next and it's not the most exciting place (we saw most of it in a couple of hours ... and it was raining) so we asked the tourist office where to go, they suggested we go to a very pretty island called Mainau where there are lots of ...
