Finally made it to germany after a long and painful trip over. Our first leg of our flight was just a layz 9 ours followed by a 14 our stop over in bang-cock lol. As it was Sarahs 21st we decided to head out to a night club to celebrate. We went to a local nightclub which we were treated like royatly at and every female in the place wanted to take us home! We had a few drinks which were followed by a few to many which made the second leg of our trip quite a seedy one you might say. After 11 ours of being squashed like sardines we finally got to germany at 7pm. From there we made the short drive to Augsberg where we were staying....which brings me to now! n e ... read more

Having spent two semesters at the University of Augsburg, I wanted to go back for a look at the town ten years on. Little appeared to have changed much as we wandered through the campus and the Unikum cafe bar seemed to be doing as good a trade as ever on a sunny day. After stocking up with picnic ingredients en route we set off for a pleasant walk through the SiebentischWald towards Kuhsee to go for a swim. Unfortunately, my memory of the paths through the wood isn't what it used to be, so we saw far more of the wood than intended before managing to decipher the directions offered by a passing cyclist (with an outstanding example of the odd local dialect). Jumping in for a much needed cooling swim we first noticed the ... read more

i still cannot escape the 'second stop symthom', although paris is really a fasinating city, i still felt lack of security. 因為慕尼黑旅舍早已爆滿，想起04年到過附近的Augsburg（離慕尼黑約半小時車程），感覺甚佳，因此這一段我選擇住在Augsburg。 today morning, i checked out at 8 a.m. and walked towards the metro station, and the gates just kept closed down! i walked along the street heading Paris Gare du Nord, hoping to get on a taxi, but unsuccessed. finally i asked a woman by the bus stop (she spoke fluent english!), she taught me to take a bus. but the bus suddenly changed it's route (maybe because of the traffic jam), i missed the best chance to get off to run into the north station, instead it took me to the east station, by the time of gettig off, i had already cried out at least thee f__k s. luckily when i stepped ... read more

I think this was the longest time I’ve spent with my oldest sister and her family—sad, but true. And, as they say, better late than never, right? Hah. Anyhow, I was lucky enough to be able to convince Lee to have a real Thanksgiving, which they hadn’t celebrated for years. After toting my luggage to class and to work, I made it safely to Germany on Wednesday night and was met by Lee at the airport. Thanksgiving was celebrated on Friday evening, so we spent most of Thursday and Friday cooking, which was tons of fun. Living in someone else’s house and having someone cook ever meal for me, I´ve really missed cooking, or at least being allowed free range of a kitchen. Plus, anyone who knows either Lee or me, knows that our focus was ... read more
