War ein bischen komisch, aber nicht wirklich schlimm. Man ist aber schneller mit dem Essen fertig und schon nach circa 30 Minuten aus dem Restaurant wieder raus… :-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWAxLbgpI/AAAAAAAAHpQ/IKJ92gdNzv4/s1600-h/CIMG5333%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5333" alt="CIMG5333" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWBecmWjI/AAAAAAAAHpU/kMiSU4XJPHg/CIMG5333_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="116" width="203" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt; Mein Pasta-Gericht – super lecker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWB6oOyUI/AAAAAAAAHpY/XwKIKPnyBIA/s1600-h/CIMG5332%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5332" alt="CIMG5332" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWCa1SzxI/AAAAAAAAHpg/8V811zuWShU/CIMG5332_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="116" width="203" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Das Restaurant mit Pizza-Ofen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="left"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Am Samstag morgen kamen meine Kollegen Glenn und Dominic an. Da sie extrem früh gelandet sind, wollten sie natürlich erstmal ausruhen, aber zum Mittag wollten wir ausgehen.

Nach einem Blick auf die Karte, die wir vom Hotel bekommen hatten, stellten wir fest, dass wir nicht in der interessantesten Gegend von Dubai waren. Also wieder ins Taxi und woanders hin. Diesmal wollten wir zur Marina. Nach circa 15 Minuten im Taxi fingen wir an uns zu wundern, wo der Taxi-Fahrer uns eigentlich hinbringt. Er fuhr komplett in die falsche Richtung – zu einer Marina, die wir ihm gar nicht genannt hatten! Also das erstmal richtig gestellt und den Fahrer wieder auf den richtigen Weg gebracht. Wo wir dann schon mal in der Gegend waren, haben wir schnell einen Abstecher beim Bursh Al Arab gemacht, dem berühmten 7 Sterne Hotel. Es ist allerdings stark bewacht und man kommt gar nicht rein. Selbst das Foto machen war nicht einfach, da wir nur schnell aus dem Wagen raus und sofort wieder rein mussten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWFL0_KzI/AAAAAAAAHp0/LS8Oya-1d0s/s1600-h/CIMG5348%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5348" alt="CIMG5348" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWFpozyrI/AAAAAAAAHp4/PZUY4B57yv8/CIMG5348_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="203" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: left;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Es scheint, wir hatten den einzigen Taxi-Fahrer erwischt, der sich in Dubai gar nicht auskannte. Auf dem Weg zur Marina rief uns Dominic an und wir wollten uns mit ihm irgendwo treffen. Da unser Taxi-Fahrer nicht wusste wohin, mussten wir letztendlich die Lotsen spielen und haben zum Schluss einfach Dominic zu uns bestellt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: center;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWGc-vScI/AAAAAAAAHp8/ci08IIrDdpQ/s1600-h/CIMG5350%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5350" alt="CIMG5350" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWG4m1unI/AAAAAAAAHqA/3Qc2OMOLJ8w/CIMG5350_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="116" width="203" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Wir wollen doch aber DA hin…!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="left"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wir haben uns dann mit in sein Taxt gesetzt und uns zu einem Restaurant bringen lassen um endlich was zum Mittag zu essen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="center"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWHYHMjNI/AAAAAAAAHqE/iGYirjI1PnE/s1600-h/CIMG5360%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5360" alt="CIMG5360" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWIMYOtEI/AAAAAAAAHqI/EexvmS2rZfw/CIMG5360_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="116" width="203" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;Dominic und Glenn &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWIkYFrSI/AAAAAAAAHqM/8gkZQfNkfho/s1600-h/CIMG5358%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5358" alt="CIMG5358" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWJHhO2YI/AAAAAAAAHqQ/pBvTu09y0Qk/CIMG5358_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="116" width="203" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;Wir hatten unendlich viel zu essen…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="left"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nach dem Essen ging es einfach nur ins Hotel und ich habe weiter die Konferenz vorbereitet. Erst zum Abend haben wir uns wieder zum Essen getroffen. Danach haben Glenn und Dominic mich tatsächlich überredet bekommen, noch ein bischen Party machen zu gehen. Da ich nicht als Spielverderber gelten wollte und mich nicht ausschließen wollte, bin ich mitgegangen. Schwerer Fehler – merken! Ich war um 2.30 Uhr im Bett und am nächsten Tag nur fertig. Am ersten Tag der Konferenz. Ich muss allerdings zugeben, dass es Spaß gemacht hat. Michelle war in der Zwischenzeit auch angekommen und kam später auch dazu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="text-align: center;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWJpD_IjI/AAAAAAAAHqU/TYXMVkpj7KI/s1600-h/CIMG5383%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="CIMG5383" alt="CIMG5383" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWKHqpwHI/AAAAAAAAHqY/q3ruvjCwTew/CIMG5383_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="203" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWKlQDxBI/AAAAAAAAHqc/mbhKpA4q480/s1600-h/CIMG5388%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="CIMG5388" alt="CIMG5388" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWLFG4NSI/AAAAAAAAHqg/D2nOIVpSXBM/CIMG5388_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="203" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWL0as88I/AAAAAAAAHqk/PFu7R3WCZRU/s1600-h/CIMG5384%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="CIMG5384" alt="CIMG5384" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWMYc9pMI/AAAAAAAAHqo/WrIwa09l1cc/CIMG5384_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="203" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWMyJinLI/AAAAAAAAHqs/I9FSID9nTWo/s1600-h/CIMG5403%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5403" alt="CIMG5403" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWNc_sUyI/AAAAAAAAHqw/21EfAP405pk/CIMG5403_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="116" width="203" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWN1H9_8I/AAAAAAAAHq0/2TDVtzgwgeA/s1600-h/CIMG5413%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="CIMG5413" alt="CIMG5413" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWOdMWVWI/AAAAAAAAHq4/phiIuXxiXPo/CIMG5413_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="203" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWO6h0YmI/AAAAAAAAHq8/SX2V4JIpDKk/s1600-h/CIMG5414%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="CIMG5414" alt="CIMG5414" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWPZWENTI/AAAAAAAAHrA/9ZAUtOKNn5g/CIMG5414_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="203" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWP6Zm7cI/AAAAAAAAHrE/Xkpgfc7RnlA/s1600-h/CIMG5415%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: inline;" title="CIMG5415" alt="CIMG5415" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWQulb9KI/AAAAAAAAHrI/z-jh0kzW1s4/CIMG5415_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="203" width="116" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWR6e-BkI/AAAAAAAAHrM/L0tbyBgBpxA/s1600-h/CIMG5405%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CIMG5405" alt="CIMG5405" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SnXWSZxzPBI/AAAAAAAAHrQ/zbAIox3zrXI/CIMG5405_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="116" width="203" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align="left"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; Am nächsten Morgen musste ich um 6.30 Uhr hoch.

Da dachten wir noch "Hoffentlich tun die was dagegen, damit die Viecher nicht nach oben zu uns kommen". Am Dienstag morgen erzählt mir Marc dann, dass er in der Nacht zuvor eine Maus in unserer Mülltüte entdeckt hatte. Schnell die Tüte gepackt und raus mit dem Ding. Dennoch musste sie ja von irgendwo her kommen. Von da an fanden wir jeden Tag Mäusedreck in unserem Schrank unter der Spüle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Samstag drauf haben wir dann alle unsere Unterschränke ausgeräumt und festgestellt, dass die Mäuse wirklich überall waren - Unterschränke, Arbeitsplatte, Waschmaschine und sogar entlang der Wohnzimmerwand - nur in den Oberschränken nicht, Gott sei Dank. Ich habe also erst mal 4 Stunden die Küche geputzt und desinfiziert. Vor allem habe ich mit Karton und Klebeband alle Löcher abgeklebt.&lt;br /&gt;Wir haben sofort eine Email an unseren Vermieter geschrieben, dass er doch bitte die Verwaltung informieren soll, dass alle Bewohner der Anlage informiert werden sollten, bitte ihren Müll in die Container zu schmeissen und das Vögel-Füttern zu unterlassen (ja, unsere Nachbarn sind echte Schweine). Er meinte, wir sollten bitte einen Kammerjäger holen, er würde den auch bezahlen. Scheinbar hat er auch tatsächlich irgendwo Bescheid gegeben, denn nun stehen bei den Mülleimern überall Fallen. Aber einen Brief der Verwaltung gab es nicht, bei uns kam zumindest nichts an.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Montag habe ich also sofort den Kammerjäger angerufen und gleich für Dienstag vormittag einen Termin bekommen. Bis dahin haben wir nur im Schrank unter der Spüle Mäusedreck gefunden - immerhin schon mal ein kleiner Fortschritt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der Kammerjäger kam also Dienstag und hat überall in unserer Küche kleine Kartons mit Gift-Gel und Granulat verteilt, das die Mäuse wohl fressen und in ihr Nest mitnehmen und dann dort sterben. Bisher scheint es noch nicht viel Wirkung getan zu haben, wir finden immer noch Ködel im Unterschrank. Aber er kommt ja auch noch drei Mal wieder, alle zwei Wochen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nun hoffen wir nur, dass unsere Nachbarn unten auch was dagegen machen, so dass wir in ein paar Wochen die Viecher wirklch los sind und sie nicht in ein paar Monaten wieder da sind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-2201379918372719134?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/2201379918372719134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=2201379918372719134' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2201379918372719134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2201379918372719134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2009/06/mauseplage.html' title='Mäuseplage'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-2348582140151298287</id><published>2009-06-24T11:29:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-24T11:29:02.216+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Job Travel'/><title type='text'>Santiago - 28.03. bis 03.03.2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Für unsere Kupfer Konferenz bin ich am Samstag, 28.03. ab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ends in den Flieger nach Santiago gestiegen.

Da die Flugzeit über 8 Stunden beträgt, "durften" wir sogar Premium Economy fliegen - sehr angenehm.

Ich musste Emails bearbeiten, Namen von Teilnehmern ändern, Namensschilder drucken und in die entsprechenden Halter stecken, etc etc. Zwischendurch hatten wir kurz Zeit uns auf den Weg in die Stadt zu machen, um dort Mittag zu essen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wir hatten geplant, ein Restaurant zu besuchen, dass meinem Kollegen Dominic von einem Bekannten empfohlen wurde. Sobald wir im Taxi saßen, überzeugte uns (oder eher Dominic, da er als einziger fließend Spanisch sprach) der Taxi-Fahrer jedoch, doch in ein anderes Restaurant zu fahren. Dieses sei angeblich in der gleichen Entfernung zum Hotel. Meine Kollegin Marilyn hatte nachmittags bereit wieder Termine, zu denen sie nicht zu spät kommen wollte. Die Taxi-Fahrt dauerte und dauerte und Marilyn fing schon an Panik zu machen, wir würden nicht rechtzeitig zurück sein. Als wir dann endlich am Restaurant ankamen, stellte sich dieses natürlich als Touri-Falle schlechthin heraus. Mitten in einer großen Markthalle waren etliche Restaurants und eines davon war für uns... Direkt am Taxi fingen uns schon 3 (!!) Leute ab, die uns an einen Tisch geleiteten. Das Essen kam nach 5 Minuten und die Qualität war dementsprechend - ein Reinfall schlechthin also. Das nächste Mal doch lieber nicht auf den Taxi-Fahrer hören. Spaß hat es trotzdem gemacht!

Abends war ich dann mit Dominic noch essen und habe mir eine DVD vom Hotel ausgeliehen. Als Bewohner des Executive Floors bekommt man nämlich Zugriff auf die kleine DVD Kollektion des Hotels. Von dem Film (Cars) habe ich allerdings dann letztendlich doch kaum was mitbekommen, da ich schnell eingeschlafen bin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durch die Klimaanlage, die ich nachts zwar ausgemacht hatte, ohne die man es tagsüber aber ansonsten nicht aushält, hatte ich mir am Dienstag dann eine Augenentzündung zugezogen. Marilyn und ich hatten vormittags ein Meeting mit dem Hotel-Personal und alle meinten, ich müsse unbedingt zum Arzt damit. Um die Ecke vom Hotel sei ein Einkaufszentrum mit Krankenhaus, da solle ich doch besser hin. Da ich wirklich schlimm aussah, machte ich mich also dann mit Marilyn mittags auf den Weg dorthin. Marilyn musste mit, da ich ja kein Spanisch kann. Ihr Spanisch brachte uns aber auch nur bis ur Arzthelferin an der Rezeption, da es vor 17 Uhr keinen Termin gab... und um die Zeit fing unsere Konferenz bereits an - mit einer Abendversanstaltung. Also habe ich mir nur Augentropfen in der Apotheke geholt. Nun ja...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die nächsten zwei Tage waren Arbeit, Arbeit, Arbeit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEwdgIH3KI/AAAAAAAAG_0/_R_JSYyReLo/s1600-h/CIMG4874.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEwdgIH3KI/AAAAAAAAG_0/_R_JSYyReLo/s200/CIMG4874.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350611115691203746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Der Vize-Präsident von Chile&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich hatte mir zu allem Unglück am Dienstag abend auch noch den Magen verdorben und bin die halbe Nacht den weißen Prozellanbus gefahren. Dementsprechend schlimm sah ich also am nächsten Tag aus: Augenentzündung, müde und völlig fertig, aber die Show musste ja weitergehen. Zum Glück war die Konferenz nur zwei halbe Tage angesetzt. Somit lag ich also Mittwoch nachmittags dann am Pool und habe ausgeruht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Donnerstag habe ich mich aufgemacht in die Stadt, um wenigsten am letzten Tag vor unserer Abreise noch ein bischen was von Santiago zu sehen. Viel war das nicht, da ich natürlich total unvorbereitet los bin, aber immerhin...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEw-ThCxDI/AAAAAAAAG_8/8bKpsOXmFUE/s1600-h/CIMG4922.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEw-ThCxDI/AAAAAAAAG_8/8bKpsOXmFUE/s200/CIMG4922.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350611679241749554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEx-LO7-II/AAAAAAAAHAE/BEfwqBVV1c0/s1600-h/CIMG4930.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEx-LO7-II/AAAAAAAAHAE/BEfwqBVV1c0/s200/CIMG4930.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350612776529950850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEyR8bLq0I/AAAAAAAAHAM/6NhG_qAOheY/s1600-h/CIMG4936.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEyR8bLq0I/AAAAAAAAHAM/6NhG_qAOheY/s200/CIMG4936.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350613116152163138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEzP7TucLI/AAAAAAAAHAU/dTOd3Mm6cTw/s1600-h/CIMG4940.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEzP7TucLI/AAAAAAAAHAU/dTOd3Mm6cTw/s200/CIMG4940.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350614181004341426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEzfaUP13I/AAAAAAAAHAc/28zNuOf-zEk/s1600-h/CIMG4951.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEzfaUP13I/AAAAAAAAHAc/28zNuOf-zEk/s200/CIMG4951.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350614447026067314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEzx7A-hgI/AAAAAAAAHAk/TVau3R3aZtc/s1600-h/CIMG4959.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkEzx7A-hgI/AAAAAAAAHAk/TVau3R3aZtc/s200/CIMG4959.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350614765041255938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-2348582140151298287?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/2348582140151298287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=2348582140151298287' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2348582140151298287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2348582140151298287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2009/06/santiago-2803-bis-03032009.html' title='Santiago - 28.03. bis 03.03.2009'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkCv1PCWYkI/AAAAAAAAG-s/xy69AxXQvGI/s72-c/CIMG4761.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-5314303935427767431</id><published>2009-06-23T21:07:00.014+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T21:55:03.445+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Job Travel'/><title type='text'>Rom - 19. bis 26.02.2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Im Februar war ich wieder einmal in Rom. Mit meinem letzten Aufenthalt vor wenigen Wochen waren wir insgesamt 3 Mal im selben Hotel für drei verschiedene Konferenzen. Das einzige Mal jedoch wo ich wenigstens ein bischen was von Rom sehen konnte, war während meiner eigenen Konferenz im Februar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Angereist bin ich am Donnerstag abend, um am Freitag morgen das übliche Meeting mit dem Hotel-Personal zu haben. Meine Kollegin Tania war auch mit von der Partie. Am Nachmittag waren wir beide kurz in der Umgebung unterwegs, um ein Geschenk für eine Verabschiedung am Sonntag abend zu besorgen. Der kleine Ausflug endete in einem Eiscafé...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkE4Uj4X3CI/AAAAAAAAHAs/yKJTzFYHx2Q/s1600-h/CIMG4628.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SkE4Uj4X3CI/AAAAAAAAHAs/yKJTzFYHx2Q/s200/CIMG4628.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350619758173084706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Eis...

Ohne alle Adressen war dies vorher nicht möglich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ich habe am Samstag mein Brautkleid bestellt - JUHU. Bei meiner komischen Körperform war die Findung der Größe nicht ganz einfach, aber die Chefin konnte dann doch noch eine Lösung finden. Größe 10 soll es also sein...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" &gt;Wir haben alles für unsere Einladungskarten bestellt.

Da bisher nur eine auf meine Anfrage reagiert hat, und sie auch echt nett zu sein scheint, werde ich also mal bei ihr anrufen und schauen, ob wir am Telefon auf einer Wellenlänge liegen. Der Preis war soweit auch ok denke ich, und ich hatte sie über eine Empfehlung gefunden. Kann also nicht sooo schlecht sein, oder?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So weit, so gut.

Am Samstag (29.11.) stand ein Weihnachtsmarkt-Besuch auf dem Programm. Weihnachtsmärkte sind in England eigentlich nicht wirklich spektakulär. Irgendwie bekommen die Engländer es einfach nicht hin, die Stimmung zu schaffen, die man aus Deutschland gewohnt ist, und der Glühwein schmeckt schon mal lange nicht so gut wie zu Hause!&lt;br /&gt;Also fährt man hier nach Birmingham um auf den &lt;a href="http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/GenerateContent?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=28153&amp;amp;CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE=0&amp;amp;MENU_ID=12745"&gt;Frankfurter Weihnachtsmarkt&lt;/a&gt; zu gehen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Samstag um 12 Uhr Mittags war für uns Treffpunkt in Marleybone Station. Antje, Marc's ehemalige Mitbewohnerin, Nike und Mario, unsere besten Freunde, und Mia, ihre kleine Tochter, waren mit von der Partie. Unser Zug ging um 12.20 und war proppenvoll. Für 30 Minuten gab es für uns keinen Sitzplatz zu ergattern. Erst danach  waren genug Leute ausgestiegen, dass auch wir es uns an einem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; Tisch gemütlich machen konnten. Stehen sollten wir in Birmingham ja schließlich noch lange genug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Zugfahrt dauerte etwas mehr als zwei Stunden und um 15 Uhr waren wir dann auch mitten im Trubel auf dem Marktplatz unterwegs. Natürlich ging es uns hauptsächlich um das Glühwein-Trinken und Essen, aber Marc und ich hatten auch noch die Hoffnung, hier einen Advents-Kranz zu finden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unser Besuch begann mit einer Bretzel mit Camembert und Preiselbeer-Sauce bzw. mit Schinken und Käse, vorbei an der Wurst mit Pommes, über einen Germknödel hin zum Glühwein. Nachdem ich mir noch eine Mütze gekauft hatte ging es weiter mit Knoblauch-Baguette, Franzbrötchen, Maronen, und schließlich noch Schmalzgebäack bzw. Quarkbällchen. Zum Abschluß dann noch ein Glühwein und um 18 Uhr ging es dann wieder nach Hause. Drei Stunden in der Kälte brachten uns auch ziemlich kalte Füße, noch viel länger hätten wir es nicht ausgehalten. Um 22 Uhr waren wir dann auch wieder im gemütlichen Heim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ach ja, einen Adventskranz haben wir leider nicht gefunden...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVellWRUHYI/AAAAAAAAGWE/tWykEWGc2Rk/s1600-h/CIMG4313.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVellWRUHYI/AAAAAAAAGWE/tWykEWGc2Rk/s200/CIMG4313.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284874748794510722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:78%;" &gt;Lecker Germknödel - Sabine, Mario, Antje&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVeliJX-YKI/AAAAAAAAGV8/csVptDbcF28/s1600-h/CIMG4320.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVeliJX-YKI/AAAAAAAAGV8/csVptDbcF28/s200/CIMG4320.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284874693793177762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:78%;" &gt;Glühwein - Marc und Mario genießen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVeleIqxuwI/AAAAAAAAGV0/GSArfK9XfQ4/s1600-h/CIMG4318.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVeleIqxuwI/AAAAAAAAGV0/GSArfK9XfQ4/s200/CIMG4318.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284874624884128514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:78%;" &gt;Wir Mädels können das auch - Nike, Sabine, Antje&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVeltuywQyI/AAAAAAAAGWU/-sAqLia7QPg/s1600-h/CIMG4314.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVeltuywQyI/AAAAAAAAGWU/-sAqLia7QPg/s200/CIMG4314.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284874892816171810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:78%;" &gt;... und Mia pennt - was waren wir neidisch auf das kuschelige Bett :-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-3829267707224246522?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/3829267707224246522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=3829267707224246522' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/3829267707224246522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/3829267707224246522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/update-teil-2-frankfurter.html' title='Update Teil 2: Frankfurter Weihnachtsmarkt in Birmingham'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SVellWRUHYI/AAAAAAAAGWE/tWykEWGc2Rk/s72-c/CIMG4313.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-8600640382650725866</id><published>2008-12-17T11:14:00.008Z</published><updated>2008-12-17T12:22:57.913Z</updated><title type='text'>Off sick and finally time to write here with some updates - Part 1: Visit of my parents</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yeah, I know, I did not write for quite a while again... but there was so much going on I really did not have the time. Now I am sick - lying at home with a bad cold - and can give an update.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Since the last time I wrote here we have a new postman and do not get mail for other people anymore. Yibbieh! Complaining worked for this one. We still do not have a savings account with Barclays but this is a story for itself and I will write another post on this - it is too funny (or not?).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;However, my parents visited us at the end of November. I took Friday off, picked them up from the airport and showed them our flat first. Both liked it and said, it is much better to what we lived in before. Well, that was a flat share and obviously too small but even the standard in our new flat is much higher - I agree. Very European.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We spent the Friday with sightseeing.  I took them by bus to London Bridge from where we walked along the River Thames to Tower Bridge and back on the other side to Wobble Bridge. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;From St Paul's Cathedral we took a bus to Trafalgar Square and walked to Buckingham Palace. At this point my father had already problems walking. His knee hurt badly and we had to walk very slow. Can you believe, he even had muscle pain as he is not used to walking anymore? I think this is very alarming. My father works as a courier so he sists in his car all day and gets out only for picking up the packets he needs to deliver. He hardly walks. Frightening!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjsyIsfkUI/AAAAAAAAF74/L11BT0JxTOM/s1600-h/CIMG4176.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjsyIsfkUI/AAAAAAAAF74/L11BT0JxTOM/s200/CIMG4176.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280730909163622722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Tower Bridge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtRjdeVAI/AAAAAAAAF8I/A7uRmSO_bcU/s1600-h/CIMG4179.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtRjdeVAI/AAAAAAAAF8I/A7uRmSO_bcU/s200/CIMG4179.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280731448924328962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The Gherkin behind the Tower&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtItu-XFI/AAAAAAAAF8A/b9fQCLLrhok/s1600-h/CIMG4180.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtItu-XFI/AAAAAAAAF8A/b9fQCLLrhok/s200/CIMG4180.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280731297063263314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Where is the toilet??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, so we took the tube from Buckingham Palace (or better Victoria) to Westminster and took some picture from Big Ben and the London Eye. It started raining a little and got dark already but we still had the horse guards on the list. We walked to Whitehall which is actually not far from Trafalgar Square again. The horse guards finish at 4 PM with a little parade. we had to wait about 15 minutes but it was real good fun watching the procedures they do every day when they finish work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtd1oxLpI/AAAAAAAAF8Q/7jq5cusXWes/s1600-h/CIMG4204.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtd1oxLpI/AAAAAAAAF8Q/7jq5cusXWes/s200/CIMG4204.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280731659961970322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Big Ben and Houses of Parliament&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtn1uOAhI/AAAAAAAAF8Y/ZBxA5vWgvUk/s1600-h/CIMG4211.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjtn1uOAhI/AAAAAAAAF8Y/ZBxA5vWgvUk/s200/CIMG4211.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280731831783522834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Horse Guard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjt1lH4vLI/AAAAAAAAF8g/HdIqlddNwH0/s1600-h/CIMG4239.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjt1lH4vLI/AAAAAAAAF8g/HdIqlddNwH0/s200/CIMG4239.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280732067845946546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Last check before they are allowed to leave&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Unfortunately, it got dark very quickly and it was hard to take pictures. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;fterwards we decided my dad cannot walk properly anymore, we were quite tired so skipped the Piccadilly Circus and took the bus home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For dinner we went out to the little Thai Restaurant here in Finsbury Park. It is very nicely decorated and the food is brilliant. We showed my parents our newest toy - the Wii. We bowled till late and my parents are now addicted.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The next day we spent the morning in Camden Market. I think this is still one of the jewels of London. Lots of people of course but still not too touristy. My mother loved it, my father found it interesting but he hates shopping so not his favourite, I guess. The afternoon was spent with playing the Wii. We played till after midnight and had lots of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;On Sunday I went with my mother to try on a wedding dress. I saw it in a catalogue and fell in love with it. As only a few shops in germany have these designer dresses and lots of shops in London have them, I decided to go to try it on here. It was brilliant! I looked like a princess, it fit perfectly, and I think I want it. However, I do not want to buy a dress without having tried on more! I will go with two friends (one is my brides maid) to do some dress fitting around Christmas. Even if I buy the dress I wanted from the first day, I do not want to miss the fun of trying on more!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mom and I spent just 2 hours out of the house but Marc and my dad started playing the Wii already when we left. So when we came back they played for 2 hours again already. My mom and I joined in till they had to leave to the airport. I would have never thought my mom would be into video games.... LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Hm, I guess this post would get really long if I continued writing here. I will start &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;new posts for the other updates...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-8600640382650725866?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/8600640382650725866/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=8600640382650725866' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/8600640382650725866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/8600640382650725866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/off-sick-and-finally-time-to-write-here.html' title='Off sick and finally time to write here with some updates - Part 1: Visit of my parents'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SUjsyIsfkUI/AAAAAAAAF74/L11BT0JxTOM/s72-c/CIMG4176.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-1149205968849473769</id><published>2008-11-15T17:33:00.003Z</published><updated>2008-11-15T19:09:24.401Z</updated><title type='text'>Royal Mail stinks</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anja already described in her &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://planetcola.com/2008-11-12/the-australia-post-stinks"&gt;blog &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;the Mail system in Australia which seems to be a good copy of Royal Mail. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Since we live here we receive mail for other people. We are used to that as most people in the UK do not care to get their mail re-directed to them after moving. So we get these letters and send them back with a note "return to sender, not under this address". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;We also receive mail for people in another house in our street. We live in house number 13, flat 12 and get lots of mail for house number 12, always the same addressee which is Swift Housing Corporation. We had a few letters for them before and I already went there once to put these letters in their mailbox. There is only one door with a letter box so I have no clue if this company really is at this address. We are in the UK, so there are NO name tags on the door or on the letter boxes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;After a while we got these letter re-directed to us with a note on "please try number 13, flat 12"... Well, we sent them back to sender.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Last week, when I got home from my Chicago/Rome trip I tried to open our door but there was a bag behind it which obstructed the door. I thought "what kind of rucksack did Marc leave here? I have never seen this before" before I realised that it was a red bag used by Royal Mail to deliver large numbers of letters at once. There were about 30 letters in that bag - all for house number 12, Swift Housing Corporation... HELLO?? Can you not read, Mr Postman? This is house number 13!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So I took the bag, put a BIG note on "This is not house number 12 and here is NO Swift Housing Corporation". The bag was gone the next day. So far, so good... HAHA, how wrong was I!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;A week later we had TWO of these bags in our letter box. I did not find them but Marc, and he got so upset that he immediately wrote 2 notes to put on our door, one on eye level and one for the letter box saying "Dear Postman, this is NOT house number 12, this is NOT Swift Housing Corporation, this is NOT &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: verdana;"&gt;post code of that house&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;". He put the bags in the hallway with the same note. This time it took three days till someone took the bags.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But this is not the end. Today it happened, the straw to break the camel's back... I met our postman in person:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;It was around noon when Marc was cleaning up in the kitchen and I was in the bathroom. The bathroom is at the end of the corridor opposite our flat door. Our corridor is not very long so it is obviously quite near to the door. I heard a knock and then the noise of the letterbox. "Mail, cool" - so I went to see what we got and saw this red card - the pick up card for mail that could not be delivered because I was not there. ??? I am here, we are both here!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So I opened the door, hoping the postman is still in the house. I do not want to and do not have the time to go to the post office. Ha, got him, he was just about to leave the house. I called him back: "Excuse me!" and waived with the card. He looked at me, totally annoyed, and started to come up the stairs - so slowly as if he was 100 years old. "Do you have something for me?", I asked him. Silence for 10 seconds... "Yes" and gets a  folded letter out of his inner pocket of his jacket. He looks at me as if I want to rob him. Why was the letter in his pocket anyway? Why did he fold it? He gave me the letter and said "I knocked, you were not here". Yeah, of course, you knocked! Once at the same time you threw the letters through the door! He was really unfriendly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;"Well, I was in the bathroom. And we have a door bell", showing him our door bell which is much louder than his ONE knock. "Do I have to sign for this?" Why should I go to the post office to pick a letter up if I do not need to sign for it? "Yes" takes the letter and tries to pull off the sticker he needs to put on his paper that I should sign. He could not get it off, gave the letter back to me and said "You do not need to sign, I will sign for you if you take the letter". Of course I take the letter! It is for me, I already waited for it. It is a letter from the bank with account details and original documents from tax revenue which we had to hand in to open the account. Very confidential and important documents. He looked at me as if I was very unpleasant company for him and took too much of his precious time, off he went and left me with the letter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;At first I was too baffled but then I told Marc what happened. I wanted to show him this weird guy and we looked out of our bedroom window if he was still in our street. He was, he just left house number 12, what a coincidence. Marc watched him going down the street, the guy realised it and shouted at Marc: "What are you looking at, eh?! What do you want!?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Now it was enough. We decided to complain, so we called the Royal Mail complaint hotline and told them our issues. The lady was really nice and she told us we will receive a formal letter with our complaint reference. She was very concerned about what happened because this guy broke nearly every rule. Not taking signature etc. She said she would write an essay and send it to the manager of our post office. Then she gave me a reference number. When anything else like this happens, we now only need to call again and mention this reference number. If it is always the same postman, he will be in big trouble. We will see...

I could not be bothered to write here for the last three days, shame on me, I am sorry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;However, I got back from our Sulphur Conference on Tuesday last week. I landed at Heathrow at 2 PM and started working from home again at 4 PM. Actually, I was supposed to have the afternoon off but I had so much to do and Marc was not at home anyway so I caught up with some work. 10 days away from the office and some days even without internet mean lots of emails which could not be answered properly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Work on Wednesday was not too bad but on Thursday it hit me around 3 PM. Suddenly I was so exhausted an tired I could hardly concentrate. But no time for a break, on Friday morning I was up and running at 5.15 AM again to get to Heathrow (again!) to go to Germany for the weekend. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Three days at home with my family, nice. If I just wasn't so tired...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My mom picked me up from the airport and we went to city center to look at some venues for the wedding. I had three appointments - the first at 1 PM, the second at 3 PM and the last one at 6 PM. PUUUUH, we were back at home at 8 PM. At that time I was already up for 15 hours. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;And on Saturday my father woke me up at 6.30 AM again - HELP!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;We went to visit my grandmother as it was her 84th birthday. We had really nice lunch (Grünkohl mit Pinkel, Kassler, Kochwurst und Kartoffeln) and coffe with cake but were just back home at 10.30 PM after having dinner with my grandma as well (why is it that you only eat all the time when you visit grandparents??). At least I could sleep in the car and a little longer on Sunday morning before I left again to go to a wedding fair with my mom and my best friend who will also be my maid of honour. From there I left straight to the airport to go home. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I think it is understandable that I do really look forward to the weekend, isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-3025128886729504352?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/3025128886729504352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=3025128886729504352' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/3025128886729504352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/3025128886729504352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2008/11/back-in-london.html' title='Back in London...'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-7956075618986005177</id><published>2008-11-02T19:48:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-06-23T21:55:36.686+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Job Travel'/><title type='text'>Rome - Sulphur Conference</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Just a really quick update before I go out tonight.

We packed all the badges yesterday till midnight and I was so tired I slept through till 8 AM. Hoewever, I had a good nights sleep and am up for going out into Rome now.

Apparently, my alarm did not work so I was waking up 10 minutes lat but it was fine. My skin is actually killing me, I have red spots everywhere of the water so I just took a quick shower and got ready to set up at 6.30 AM. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The conference went very well - after a rough start as the stage set up was not as we planed in the beginning and had to be changed within an hour before the conference was about to start.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;However, everyone was happy, and I just got back from our Cocktail Party at the &lt;a href="http://www.trumpchicagohotel.com/"&gt;Trump International Hotel &amp;amp; Tower&lt;/a&gt;. The party was a great success, band was good, food was amazing and all delegates seemed to be happy. So far, so good.

We were invited to breakfast by the event team of the Marriott. So again lots of food - my poor waist...&lt;br /&gt;After that we immediately went to work. We needed to stuff all the delegate bags with folders, magazines and promotional suff. Fortunately, we had lots of helping hands and got this done within two hours. The next hours were spent on setting up the registration desk and exhibition area. So it was not long till the welcome reception started. I was very nervous that everything worked out well as this was my first conference I dealt with on my own. Of course I had help from Marilyn but I felt responsible for everything. There were some things which did not went as planned in the beginning, but it was not too bad. We had about 200 people turning up for his function which was 50 more than expected and they were all happy. Now I just hope that all speakers turn up and bring their presentations tomorrow. I am still missing a few and need to hand them to AV &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;in time &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;so everthing will run smoothly. Fingers crosed that it will be fine!&lt;br /&gt;I think I will go to bed now, I need to ge up at 5.30 again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-5753907523869359939?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/5753907523869359939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=5753907523869359939' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/5753907523869359939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/5753907523869359939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2008/10/chicago-wednesday-first-conference-day.html' title='Chicago - Wednesday, first conference day'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQkqGwigs_I/AAAAAAAAFqo/2d_Bq332Bc0/s72-c/CIMG3928.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-1236658971432989072</id><published>2008-10-30T02:59:00.006Z</published><updated>2009-06-23T21:54:04.726+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Job Travel'/><title type='text'>Chicago ctd... Monday and Tuesday</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;On Monday we had our pre-conference meeting with the Hotel team at 9 am. We bespoke all functions and got introduced to the whole team responsible for our event. Luckily it only took about an hour. The Hotel staff was very well prepared.&lt;br /&gt;For lunch we got invited to the &lt;a href="http://www.fairmont.com/chicago"&gt;Fairmont Hotel&lt;/a&gt; which will host our even next year. In contrast to the Marriott which is only a 3 star hotel, the Fairmont is 5 str and more our style. I don't want to sound extremly pos bu we are used to a higher standard that the Marriott has. And the Fairmont is just it - it is outstanding. Very elegant and modern. High-class! And the food is extraordinary. My steak salad was superb, the steak melted in my mouth. Unfortunately, I will not be here next year to do the event. As I am getting married on 3 October I am not doing the event in 2009. However, it is very likely that we will keep working with the Fairmont for more than one year, yeah...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In the afternoon we had another show round at the &lt;a href="http://www.trumpchicagohotel.com/"&gt;Trump Tower&lt;/a&gt; where we will have a cocktail party on Thursday evening.&lt;br /&gt;After that we spent the rest of the day preparing the delegate badges - so quite a working day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday we were invited to the &lt;a href="http://www.fourseasons.com/chicagorc/"&gt;Ritz Carlton&lt;/a&gt; for breakfast and another show round. I think I really ate a lot in the last days...&lt;br /&gt;After a quick meeting with our DMC who is organising the Trump Tower event we had some free time again - jibbieh. I took the time to do a little shopping again (just some trainers) and  a nice walk in the Millenium Park.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQkl_EqXzzI/AAAAAAAAFqQ/dK0PTMQxo1w/s1600-h/CIMG3887.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQkl_EqXzzI/AAAAAAAAFqQ/dK0PTMQxo1w/s200/CIMG3887.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262779405072584498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQkmYNN4prI/AAAAAAAAFqY/w03trMTv4hE/s1600-h/CIMG3912.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQkmYNN4prI/AAAAAAAAFqY/w03trMTv4hE/s200/CIMG3912.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262779836865750706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQkmifGuO4I/AAAAAAAAFqg/KVLqjWr9HIs/s1600-h/CIMG3917.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQkmifGuO4I/AAAAAAAAFqg/KVLqjWr9HIs/s200/CIMG3917.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262780013466237826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The evening was reserved for a dinner with some colleagues. We went to the &lt;a href="http://www.grandluxcafe.com/"&gt;Grand Lux Cafe&lt;/a&gt; which is right around the corner and serves enormous portions of food. I had another steak which again was beautiful. The portion was so big that I had to fight to eat the meat alone. I left nearly the whole rice. A colleague &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;of mine had to starters but it was impossible to eat them both. I cannot imagine a single person eating a starter here AND having an entree. I can only recommend to come here when you are in Chicago.

Kille had to stay behin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;d and holds th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;fort in London. Kisses!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;After arriving on Saturday afternoon not that much had happen that day.&lt;br /&gt;Moved in to my tiny room (we got upgraded to concierge rooms but these are actually the same size as normal rooms but have bathrobes, bath mats and body lotion - HAHA), unpacked and got settled. I went out for a short walk but I was too tired and could not stand the crowds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfjVn-3NHI/AAAAAAAAFpY/O6494I73F7Y/s1600-h/CIMG3629.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfjVn-3NHI/AAAAAAAAFpY/O6494I73F7Y/s200/CIMG3629.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262424650255119474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;My (first) room&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;However, Sunday was a great day.

It was freezing cold and windy but Marilyn and I went out for a tourist trip.&lt;br /&gt;We took the double decker bus and went around Chicago on a hop-on-hop-of-tour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfkF9yLkqI/AAAAAAAAFpg/HEtpJWrx63o/s1600-h/CIMG3663.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfkF9yLkqI/AAAAAAAAFpg/HEtpJWrx63o/s200/CIMG3663.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262425480741229218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Marilyn waiting for the bus to arrive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfkzLet59I/AAAAAAAAFpo/xXxC6D-qwkE/s1600-h/CIMG3722.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfkzLet59I/AAAAAAAAFpo/xXxC6D-qwkE/s200/CIMG3722.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262426257511802834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;View over Chicago from Sears Tower&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We hopped of at the Sears Tower and took the chance of having such great weather to take the lift up to the 103rd floor of one of the highest building of the world. The view was breath-taking. Unfortunately, the windows were so dirty that some of my fotos are just crap now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The rest of the tour we did not leave the bus. Time was running and we wanted to do some shopping later as well. It was still very cold and the wind was icy. Marilyn decided to stay inside the bus on the lower deck. I stayed on the top as I wanted to take lots of pictures. Luckily I had a hat, hood and scarf. Not to forget the sunglasses... (no picture, unfortunately - was too blurred :-( )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfnWIiukVI/AAAAAAAAFpw/O6fdci1pSaw/s1600-h/CIMG3822.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfnWIiukVI/AAAAAAAAFpw/O6fdci1pSaw/s200/CIMG3822.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262429057041994066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Skyline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfoBEU42XI/AAAAAAAAFp4/oJWXX3OKPyg/s1600-h/CIMG3835.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/SQfoBEU42XI/AAAAAAAAFp4/oJWXX3OKPyg/s200/CIMG3835.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262429794644580722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Navy Pier&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;The trip took about two hours in total.

Es sind so genannte Trollbeads, die auf einer Kette aufgereiht werden. Sie können verschiedene Bedeutungen haben oder einfach nur hübsch aussehen. Mein Armband hat bereits 5 Trollbeads.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Den Drachen habe ich von Kille bekommen. Ich bin selber im chinesischen Sternzeichen Drache und es sind meine Lieblingsfabelwesen. Der Designer dieses Beads sagt dazu "Der glückliche Drachen soll uns erinnern an die außergewöhnlichen Zufälle und Möglichkeiten, die jeden Tag zu einemGeschenk machen."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der blaue Glasbead ist von Killes Eltern. Er heißt 'Blauer Armadillo' und ein altes Indianergebet zum Armadillo (Gürteltier) lautet: Schütze meine Grenzen, lehre mich mein Schild zu nutzen, wende Schmerzen ab, so dass ich nie unterliegen muss.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der zweite Glasbead ist von meiner Tante und meinem Onkel. Es stellt eine 'Blaue Blume mit Knospen' dar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Von meiner Omi habe ich die Katze, zu der es heißt: "Katzen sind verspielt und zutraulich, aber immer ihr eigener Herr."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und der fünfte Trollbead ist ein Elefant. "Der majestätische König der Savanne symbolisiert Kraft und Glück."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das gesamt Armband kann selber gestaltet werden. Sogar der Verschluss hat eine Bedeutung. Meiner ist ein Freja Knoten, und die modische Mythologie erzählt, dass Freja eine Göttin der Liebe und Fruchtbarkeit ist.

Und da das Wetter auch mitgemacht hat(25 Grad und Sonne), sind wir heute nach Windsor Castle gefahren. Also hieß es erstmal früh aufstehen. Für einen Sonntag ist 8.30 Uhr schon recht früh, finde ich. Aber trotzdem hatten wir ein gemütliches Geburtstagsfrühstück und ich habe sogar einen toll gedeckten Tisch von Schatzi bekommen - danke!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/RmgfpkAiX4I/AAAAAAAACAE/5_nJhKuypfw/s1600-h/P6030182.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/RmgfpkAiX4I/AAAAAAAACAE/5_nJhKuypfw/s200/P6030182.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073339779133890434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Um 10 Uhr wir dann auch tatsächlich losgekommen und haben uns mit T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ube und Zug auf den Weg nach Windsor gemacht, wo wir um 12.15 Uhr dann auch endlich ankamen.

Also haben Kille und ich beschlossen, heute unseren Ausflug nach Arundel zu machen und dort das Schloss zu besichtigen. Im Gegensatz zu Herstmonceux, wo ich wir mit meinen Eltern waren, ist dies wenigstens ein richtiges Schloss, das auch innen noch so richtig schön alt und gespenstisch wirkt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Die Fahrt dauerte gar nicht so lange, wie ich dachte und wir haben uns die Zeit auch recht gut mit "Die Dr3i - Hotel Luxury End" vertrieben. Bei dem Hörspiel muss man selber entscheiden wie es weitergeht und es gibt zig Enden. Wir haben tatsächlich den ganzen Tag gebraucht, das "richtige" Ende zu finden ;o)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der Eintritt zum Schloss und den Gärten war mal wieder typisch Englisch - heißt sauteuer: Kille musste 12 Pfund und ich 8,50 oder so zahlen.&lt;br /&gt;Aber es hat sich echt gelohnt. Das Schloss ist riesig. Leider kann man nur einen Teil besichtigen, der andere wird nämlich tatsächlich noch bewohnt. Vom Duke und seiner Duchesse von Norfolk und hren Kindern. Selbst in dem Teil, den man besichtigen kann, stehen überall Fotos von der Familie. Ist schon lustig, wenn man durch so alte Räume läuft und dann zwischen den ganzen antiken Sachen Fotos stehen, wo Kinder auf nem Quad sitzen :o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/Rl6NMpH-tCI/AAAAAAAAB88/hO_DqJrj8qs/s1600-h/P5260125.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/Rl6NMpH-tCI/AAAAAAAAB88/hO_DqJrj8qs/s200/P5260125.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070645478803026978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Das Schloss von Arundel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Als wir gerade auf dem Weg waren das Schlossgelände zu verlassen, hatten wir nochmal richtig Glück, denn genau in dem Moment kam ein Rolls-Royce-Oldtimer-Club auf das Gelände gefahren um dort zu parken.

Ok, die sehen schon anders aus als die hübschen blaugrünen in Spanien oder so... Sie bewegte sich auch viel langsamer. Vor allem war sie ein wenig "behindert", weil an ihrem Schwanz wohl ein bischen Kaugummi oder so klebte (der weiße Fleck ist auf dem Foto auch recht gut zu sehen) und an dem Kaugummi hing ein Haar, das sich um ihre Beine und den Körper gewickelt hatte.

Bereits heute morgen war es draußen so neblig, dass man die Berge hinterm Haus nicht mehr sehen konnte. Trotzdem wollten Kille und ich nicht den ganzen Tag in der Bude hocken und haben daher beschlossen, einen kleinen Erkundungsausflug in die Umgebung zu machen. Wir wollten mal meinen neuen Pub-Führer testen und uns einige der empfohlenen Pubs anschauen, damit wir vielleicht in einen davon mit meinen Eltern gehen können, wenn die in zwei Wochen kommen. Wir sind also rausgefahren nach East Dean, was echt ein niedliches kleines Dörfchen ist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/RkgpgZ5w_wI/AAAAAAAABug/pPgXhJruPQk/s1600-h/IMG_7943.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/RkgpgZ5w_wI/AAAAAAAABug/pPgXhJruPQk/s320/IMG_7943.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064343417663848194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Im Hintergrund der Tiger Inn Pub&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Da Seven Sisters nicht weit ist, dachten wir uns, wir schauen uns doch mal die Küste an - bei dem Wetter!

So waren wir denn am Samstag abend in den Function Rooms. Naja, wir hatten schon Spaß, aber es war doch recht leer. Hier in Eastbourne gehen die Studies lieber am Montag weg, da dann der Eintritt frei ist und auch die Musik besser (was ich nicht beurteilen kann, ich hab Dienstags Vorlesungen, da muss ich nicht bis 4 Uhr morgens abzappeln gehen). An sich sind die Function Rooms eine geniale Location. Drei Dance Floors machen schon was her. Aber die Musik war leider dieses Mal echt nicht so berauschend, daher sind wir auch schon um 1 Uhr nach Hause gefahren. Aber schön war es trotzdem, mal wieder ein bischen tanzen zu gehen...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/Rkgjl55w_qI/AAAAAAAABtw/VaKLRscA0Ik/s1600-h/127_2758.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/Rkgjl55w_qI/AAAAAAAABtw/VaKLRscA0Ik/s320/127_2758.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-554068492673117916?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/554068492673117916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=554068492673117916' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/554068492673117916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/554068492673117916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/05/function-rooms.html' title='Function Rooms'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RIoR5aTdZGw/Rkgjl55w_qI/AAAAAAAABtw/VaKLRscA0Ik/s72-c/127_2758.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-5824525687060672219</id><published>2007-05-05T23:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-05-14T22:02:09.789+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Angrillen</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nach langer Zeit hat es Kille endlich mal wieder geschafft nach Eastbourne zu kommen, da wollten wir ds doch mal zum Anlass nehmen und endlich Angrillen.

As I also love boooks here are my answers to the meme's questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hardback or trade paper back or mass market paperback?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer hardback, they look great on a shelf, but sometimes it is way too expensive and I can;t afford it. My Stephen King books are mainly hardbacks - these are the only books I really collect. Ah, and Harry Potter. But this is because I can't wait so long for them to come out as paperbacks. ;o)&lt;br /&gt;The only disadvantage of hardbacks is that they are heavy and big and thus sometimes not handy and lightweight - so hard to put in a handbag and read on the beach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amazon or brick and mortar?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depends... I buy used books at Amazon Marketplace, my study books I buy at Amazon and Harry Potter I buy at midnight in the local bookstore - to have it as soon as possible :o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barnes &amp; Noble or Borders?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have no clue - don't know them as I am from Germany and now live in the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bookmark or dog-ear?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never ever dog-ears in my holy books!

And I would rather take a post-it if I don't have a bookmark than making a dog-ear.&lt;br /&gt;But if it is a really old book, used already with dog-ears (and not mine) - I don't care...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alphabetise by author or alphabetise by title or random?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I organise my books on the shelf by author but I don't really alphabetise I sort by height, starting with Stephen King books because they are the biggest as hardback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep, throw away or sell?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm... Normally I keep my books.&lt;br /&gt;But before I moved out of my flat in Kiel and had to store all my stuff in a storage room, I tried to sell a lot of my books. And I must admit that I have thrown away some of them. Others I just put on the street and the next day they were gone - somebody took them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep dustjacket or toss it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why tossing it??? I always keept it. It is a part of the book. And sometimes the only thing which is printed. I don't want only black books on my shelf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read with dustjacket or remove it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remove it. I sometimes use it as a bookmark, when I put away the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Short story or novel?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer novels, but I have already read some good short stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Collection (short stories by same author) or anthology (short stories by different authors)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;No preference - I already read some really good collections as well as anthologies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I saw the movie "Lemony Snicket" - is there also a book? And is it a series like Harry Potter? If not this is not comparable...&lt;br /&gt;As I already said, I really like Harry Potter! I am nearly addicted to it. I read the first book because my mother bought it. I did no even realise the hype in the beginning and I would have never bought it myself. Just because my mother liked it so much I read it. Meanwhile I read all the books two or three times in English, some also in German and I listened to the audiobooks (which are the best I have ever heard!!!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stop reading when tired or chapter breaks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I try to stop reading when the chapter breaks. But sometimes I am so tired I can't remember what I read so I just read to the end of the paragraph.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"It was a dark and stormy night" or "Once upon a time"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;At the moment "It was a dark and stormy night", but I have no real preference. I don't read fairy tales anymore, so this is not really applicable...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy or borrow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I often borrow books from my parents or my boyfriend, but I also buy books...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New or used?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Either way. Some of my study books are used and I know I will sell them again. Here in the UK they have these second hand bookshops where you can buy books for a Pound. It is thrillers I buy there or love stories. Some books I prefer new. Like Harry Potter or some Stephen King's. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buying choice: book reviews, recommendation or browse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Have used all ways but I don't care about reviews. They are written by other people with a different view and taste. It is like movies - some people hate Lord of the Rings or Dirty Dancing, I love them. The same applies for books... But when my parents recommend a book I know I can trust them that it is really good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tidy ending or cliffhanger?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Tidy ending!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Morning reading, afternoon reading or nighttime reading?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I read when I like to and when I have the time to do so. As it s mostly when I am in bed: more nighttime. But when I have holiday and a really good book, I can read the whole day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Standalone or series?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Both is fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite series?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Harry Potter and The Dark Tower.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite book of which nobody else has heard?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I don't know if nobody else has heard of it - Imagica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite books read last year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I also read a Bill Bryson book - "Streiflichter aus Amerika".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favourite books of all time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Imagica and The Dark Tower series, and some more... :0)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: verdana;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-5104637230042731811?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/5104637230042731811/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=5104637230042731811' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/5104637230042731811'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/5104637230042731811'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/04/finally-took-meme.html' title='Finally took the meme...'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-4917185483398162971</id><published>2007-04-13T18:41:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-04-16T07:51:19.601+01:00</updated><title type='text'>My Personality Cocktail</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;I am at a point where I have nothing else to do (hmmm - actually, I have but I don't want to do it at the moment), so I tried this great Personality Cocktail Mixer...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;How to make a Sabine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;5 parts anger&lt;br /&gt;3 parts ambition&lt;br /&gt;3 parts empathy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Add to a cocktail shaker and mix vigorously.

Seit zwei Jahren verspricht Vesperchen nun Kille mal zu besuchen und nun hat es tatsächlich mal geklappt... Nur dass Versper gar nix davon wußte, dass er Kille treffen würde. Das sollte ja eine Überraschung werden!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Wir hatten mit Inga vereinbart, dass sie ihren Vater am Samstag abend in einen Pub lockt und wir dann einfach dazu kommen. Gesagt, getan. Um 17.30 Uhr rief Inga an, sie wäre jetzt mit ihrem Dad im Pub. Kille und ich saßen zu dem Zeitpunkt noch im Bus, weil wir erst für 18 Uhr verabredet waren. And guess what - zu erkennen seien sie daran, dass ihr Vater einen roten Pullover an hat! Typisch Vesperchen, immer rot oben rum LOL Sei es Jacke oder Pullover....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Kurz vor 18 Uhr kamen also Kille und ich im Anchor an und fanden die beiden schließlich ganz oben im Restaurant-Teil, mit dem Rücken zu uns sitzend. Inga entdeckte uns recht schnell und begrüßte uns, so dass auch ihr Vater letztendlich mitbekam, dass da noch jemand kommt. Der hat vielleicht Bauklötze gestaunt. War richtig witzig. Aber er hat sich auch riesig gefreut. So kam es dann, dass wir bis spät in die Nacht (naja, ok, also bis kurz nach 0.00 UHr, weil da die letzte Bahn fuhr) zuerst im Anchor saßen und anschließend noch in den nächsten Pub weitergezogen sind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So haben wir wieder mal einiges von MMP aus Kiel mitbekommen und Vesperchen war auch sehr interessiert, wie es uns denn hier in London so geht. Je mehr Bier floß, desto lustiger wurde dann auch der Abend. Leider habe ich keine Fotos gemacht, obwohl ich extra meine Kamera mit hatte - ich Idiot. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-2457800048156568928?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/2457800048156568928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=2457800048156568928' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2457800048156568928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2457800048156568928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/03/vesper-in-london.html' title='Vesper in London'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-4650427987465912922</id><published>2007-03-23T10:05:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-03-23T10:20:08.992Z</updated><title type='text'>Addition to the garden post and answer on Anja's comment</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well, as Anja asked a quiet cynical question on our garden (she seems to think our terrace is our garden... or did I get it wrong), here some pictures from our GARDEN!

And as I work very hard here in the Computer Poolroom ;) to earn some money I decided to buy one. Why not - you just live once so why save all your money? :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;But I was not very happy about the price. In Apple Stores it was £259 or €395 (this is DM700!!! MY GOOD). I did not want to spend more than £185 so I waited for a price drop - after the iPhone was presented it should drop... But it didn't. So there was the only option to bid on ebay what I did for about two weeks. I must have bid on over 40 iPods but everytime I was outbid by someone else. The problem was, that I had my limit of £185 which included shipping.&lt;br /&gt;But finally, Saturday the week before I won!!! I could not believe it when the email arrived. I did not expect to win after I lost every sinlge auction before... I jumped around in the house (my housemate can bear witness) singing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I payed immediately via PayPal and waited. Shipment was confirmed on Tueasday last week and it should arrive within 7 days. Yesterday I already complained to the seller who wanted to check the tracking system today. But at 11 o'clock today the doorbell rang and the postman stood there with a package in his hands. I was so excited that he recognised I was already waiting. He was so nice, he apologised that he was late today and he assured me that he had handled the package with care as it said on it :D ... LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I forgot about my studies and just spent my time on setting up my new iPod, transferring music and videos on it. I really love this thingy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;And now I am sitting here working in the Computer Poolroom listening to my favourite music. And when I will go to London tomorrow I can watch a video when sitting in the train...

For about a week already I had really bad tooth ache in my lower jaw because my incisors seemed to move. I had a gap between my teeth that hasn't been there before and one of my teeth was not on the same level as the others. It was pushed up by the one next to it. I knew this pain from the time when I had to wear braces and started to worry that I would loose my tooth... I know it sounds totally exaggerated but I love my teeth, especially as I had to wear braces for so many years and worked really hard for the look of my teeth. On Monday last week I called the dental surgeries in Eastbourne to get an appointment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The system here in UK is totally different to Germany. First, you have to register with a dentist. But you cannot go to a dentist you like - NOOO, you have to look for one who takes new patients at the moment - especially NHS patients. I am not insured privately, this is a big difference! When you find one you call him and ask for an appointment, of course. Said and done, earliest appointment I could get is 17th of April! Hahaha, I have tooth ache now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ok, so I waited a few days hoping the pain would just disappear, but on Friday the pain was so violent that I wanted to see a dentist immedtiatley. I called the NHS helpline where a nice man told me I could call the emergency dentist in the evening at 6.30pm and would get an appointment for the same evening. So I waited till 6.30pm and started to try to get through on the number he gave me. After 20 minutes I reached someone. The women asked me about my problems and I told her - and then she dared to tell me that they could NOT help me. She cannot give me an appointment because I had no accute pain. HELLO? I had pain. But nothing was swollen and they could not do anything against moving teeth... Fuck NHS system. I was totally down and called Kille in London, crying already. He told me to come to London and go to his dentist. This was a Walk in Centre where you can go in emergency cases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Finally, I decided to go to London spontaneously. I left work earlier, packed a few things and caught the next train. Immediatley after arriving at Kille's home I felt better. His comforting effect on me is amazing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Next morning we went to the dentist and it was so easy! I had to fill in a form: name, address, phone number etc. reason for coming and that was it. 20 minutes of waiting and I saw a dentist. He looked at my teeth, checked everything (also my gums which I thought were fading away, too) and told me it is ok. Well, I still know that there was a movement of my teeth, but they do not move at the moment as he said. He told me the pain could come from grinding or biting on my piercing during the night: I should take it out. My dentist in Germany already told me this but for another reason - maybe I should really consider it?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Well, my teeth are still hurting. But it was reassuring to hear a professional opinion on it. In the future I will go to an orthodontist again and get braces. I want my teeth back in their position! But this has to wait... It will be very expensive so I have to earn some more money first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Anyways, the rest of the day was really nice. I did not want to disturb Kille's whole weekend plans, so he and Antje (his flatmate) went to a Pub and I stayed at home to learn. In the evening we went out to a Thai restaurant just 20 metres away from their doorstep. It was fantastic food.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;On Sunday I planned to take a train back to Eastbourne in the afternoon. Kille wanted to meet a friend so I could go home the same time he left. But there was no train going to Eastbourne that day! *confused* Normally there are trains leaving every hour...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;But there was just a train to Lewes and then a bus to Eastbourne which would take 75 minutes more than taking a direct train. Unfortunately, my train ticket did not even cover the bus so I could not go and had to stay one night more. Ok, it is not that I don't like staying in London but I have so much to do for my studies that this meant loosing many hours of working - damn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Obviously, this was not my weekend...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-6810329017334166732?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/6810329017334166732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=6810329017334166732' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/6810329017334166732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/6810329017334166732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-weekend.html' title='What a weekend...'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-7126122832483602371</id><published>2007-02-24T23:00:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-03-09T15:46:23.754Z</updated><title type='text'>Hugh Grant - I LOVE U!!!!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Shame on me, I know. I am still ill and don't feel very good, but we went to cinema today to watch "Music &amp;amp; Lyrics". Kille and I already watched "Notting Hill" in the afternoon to get in the real mood...&lt;br /&gt;We met Yvonne, Christine and Barbara and had a really nice evening! We met a little earlier so we had some time to have a drink at the Whetherspoons. At 6.30 pm we four girls and my girlish girlfriend (he was the only one to cry during the movie :P ) we sat in our seats all on edge.&lt;br /&gt;The movie starts with this gorgeous music clip:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S0A7dtdc-nU"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S0A7dtdc-nU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to tell too much as some people might not have seen the movie yet, but it is lovely. We will buy the DVD for our collection, so much for sure!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After cinema we went out to a polish restaurant. It was recommended by many news papers and restaurant reviewers so we wanted to give it a try. I think it was horrible. I did not really like the atmosphere and the food was, well, not what I expected.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-7126122832483602371?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/7126122832483602371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=7126122832483602371' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/7126122832483602371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/7126122832483602371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/02/hugh-grant-i-love-u.html' title='Hugh Grant - I LOVE U!!!!!!'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-951701427655351452</id><published>2007-02-23T23:00:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-03-02T21:26:32.185Z</updated><title type='text'>Fotoshooting!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Today we had a great day out. We did something totally different - some people would call us stupid...&lt;br /&gt;One day in November or December (I can't remember) I got a telephone call from a photostudio that I have won a shooting. I could bring a second person, would get my hair and face made up and then a photoshooting. Normally, this would cost 150 to 200 Pound depending on if I come alone or with a friend. Only for the booking I had to pay 44.99 Pound. Well, ok. It sounded so great and I would get my money back afterwards that I decided to do it. --&gt; I still hear Kille's family shouting: "Nepper, Schlepper, Bauernfänger!".&lt;br /&gt;I would be called again to make the appointment and to get some more instructions... This happened in the following weeks and so we got our appointment today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 2.40 pm Kille and I had to be at "Exposure" in Covent Garden. As we should take 3 to 6 Outfits with us we both arrived there with a big bag respectively a trolley. Looked like we are going on a short trip.&lt;br /&gt;After a short reception we got something to drink and had to fill out a form. They wanted to know how we normally do our make up, which colours we prefer etc. and if we would like the hair dresser and make up artist to give advise. Obviously, Kille does not use much make up so he did not expect anything but finally also he got a little bit powdered.&lt;br /&gt;After 20 minutes of waiting I was called for the hair and face make up. As soon as I sat on the chair, Jerry, the gay polish make up artist, started putting creams, different shades of powder and make up on my face. It looked very extreme and I think I would normally not go out with such a make up (maybe in a club, I don't know, but never ever at daytime), but Jerry explained to me, that make up for photos is always heavier than normal make up and you would see just 40% of it on the photo. Ok, it did not matter anyways as Kille and I had planned to buy NO photos.&lt;br /&gt;Then I was passed over to the hairdresser who curled my hair with a hairstraightener (I will buy such a thing - they are so great!). At the same time Kille got powdered, this took only 10 seconds or so, so he had to wait for me again in the waiting room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I finally went back into the waiting room I felt really goodlooking :o)  - and my own boyfriend did not recognise me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 20 more minutes we were called for the shooting. We took our luggage and went into the studio. It was really small but the photographer was great and it is really interesting how the different backgrounds and lights and props appear on photos in relation to how they really look.&lt;br /&gt;Together with the photographer we chose three outfits and did the shooting. It took about 45 minutes and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;was so much fun - I really enjoyed the time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Then we had to wait again till the pictures were ready for viewing. We went out and had a coffee/hot chococlate at Starbuck's. Kille started to question if we would really buy NO pictures (I already knew I wanted to buy one ;o) ) as he had seen some of them on the cam and they were stunning. So we went back to the studio and had the viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;80 pictures had been taken of us. We had to sort out the one we didn't like which were 52. So we had 28 left...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The guy from Exposure who showed us the pictures immediatley wanted to sell us these 28 pictures and started to make us offers.. Hahaa, the first was the best - 1,800 Pound for all of them on CD, 1,600 Pound for A4 print outs and 1,200 for A6 print outs. We had a good laugh and told him we would reduce the number of pictures on 4. He was not amused and started to make other offers like 799 Pound for 20 on CD - hello????&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In the end he asked us for our budget and we came to the final offer of 20 pictures on CD for 289.99 Pound. He assumed we had already paid 89.99 Pound deposit (we only paid 44.99, hehe) so we had to pay 200 Pound. This was our deal and in the end we actually got 21 photos as we could not decide which one to sort out :D&lt;br /&gt;Well, of course, we wanted to buy NO single photo, so we paid more than ever planned - they caught us (Bauernfänger halt :o) ). But I LOVE the pictures - so what??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;One of the photos is my new profile picture on the right. The others are TOP SECRET as we want to use them as presents. Sorry for this.. But if you like to see some, we can send them on request.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-951701427655351452?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/951701427655351452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=951701427655351452' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/951701427655351452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/951701427655351452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/02/fotoshooting.html' title='Fotoshooting!'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-8458175100407948441</id><published>2007-02-22T17:26:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-03-14T17:42:09.767Z</updated><title type='text'>Business Trip to London - day 3</title><content type='html'>As expected, I feel worse ever. Suffering from fever, sore throat and headache I went to the fair again to get in contact with potential interview partners. I collected some business cards again as well as brochures and catalogues. I listened to to two seminars of which one was about "How to apply for jobs in the events industry". Unfortunately, this was the most important for me today and the one that started latest - at 2.15 pm. However, it was interesting and worth waiting. The speaker told us about the importance to start applying as soon as possible after finishing studies. Well, she is right - as everybody else in my course will finish at the same time and start applying it will be really difficult to get a job. Damn! Thus, the planned holiday (kind of reward for myself for finishing) cannot be taken - sorry Kille, we have to reschedule this. But it is more important to get a job! &lt;br /&gt;After the seminar I visited the stand of the recruitment agency the speaker worked for and asked about my chances to work in the UK. Does not seem to be very different from Germany. She told me that I will need much more experiences and I might have to start at a very low position with low salary. Well, depends on how good I can sell my experiences in my CV... -&gt; Note: Start writing CV! :o)&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards I went straight home and to bed - have to be fit for the photoshooting tomorrow!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-8458175100407948441?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/8458175100407948441/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=8458175100407948441' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/8458175100407948441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/8458175100407948441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/02/business-trip-to-london-day-3.html' title='Business Trip to London - day 3'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-2124525799567808533</id><published>2007-02-21T22:15:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-03-14T17:43:47.384Z</updated><title type='text'>Business Trip to London - day 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I feel like shit. My cold is still there and loves to plague me. My throat feels like I have swollowed barbwire and I have such a headache :o( But it's no use - Confex is only two days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;So I went there. I have never been to Earls Court before so I was surprised at the size. It is really small in comparison to german exhibition halls. I think Earls Court would fit three times in one of the halls in Hamburg... Anyways, I wandered through the aisles and tried to find interesting venues for my dissertation. I found some and had nice chats to the exhibitors. Everyone was really nice and I got some business cards from people I could contact for my interviews. I listened to two seminars but at 2 pm I felt so bad that I just wanted to get back in Kille's bed. Fortunately, Kille lives just 10 minutes away from Earls Court, so I took the bus and went home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;I could rest for nearly 2 hours till I had to leave again. Kille booked me in for another lecture, this time from the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.apm.org.uk/"&gt;APM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;. We decided to meet at 6 pm near Kings Cross which is about 1 hour by tube. So I had to leave again latest at 5 pm - you never know which line is closed due to signal failure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;The lecture was really interesting - "The complete Project Manager" and it was worth it going there, but I was happy being back again at 10 pm. Tomorrow will be strenuous again...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-2124525799567808533?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/2124525799567808533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=2124525799567808533' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2124525799567808533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/2124525799567808533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2007/03/business-trip-to-london-day-2.html' title='Business Trip to London - day 2'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-8252942204767778485</id><published>2007-02-20T19:37:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-03-02T21:14:55.359Z</updated><title type='text'>Business Trip to London - day 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Today I started my "business trip" to London.

Kille's mother called us and informed us about this... So we checked our flights, but at Gatwick Airport everything was ok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We arrived at 21.35h, 15 minutes earlier even though we left 15 minutes late. And then my parents took us "home". But it is not really home...&lt;br /&gt;One week before Christmas my parents moved into their new appartment, which is really nice, but not my real home.

Every house member was allowed to invite two friends and we cooked a really british Christmas Dinner...&lt;br /&gt;Well, I had three friends here, but Laura's friends couldn't come so it was balanced again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We bought the turkey already 5 days ago and defrosted it slowly over the last days. It was a 8.2 kg bird! As I had to work today in the morning, Kille and Susann had to prepare the stuffing for the turkey. When I came back at 1 o'clock it was my task to clean the turkey, salt and stuff it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/1600/778328/IMG_7607.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/320/323352/IMG_7607.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;This turkey was sooo heavy (and big&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 2 p.m. it was in the oven and the oven was full! In the next four hours we prepared parsnip and carotts, cooked them in stock with sage and honey, cooked potatoes (2 kg), cutted them and turned them in oil to bake them, prepared red cabbage with apple, brussels sprouts, gravy, breadsauce and stuffing balls (from the stuffing that didn't get into the turkey anymore).&lt;br /&gt;We needed both kitchens we have in the house. It was amazing, but cooking for 11 people is really hard... I don't know how mothers handle this in just one kitchen - we had 3 people cooking in two kitchens and it was really hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;But in the end everything was ready in time, the turkey was fabulous and everyone enjoyed the meal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/1600/549568/IMG_7624.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/320/276480/IMG_7624.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Enjoy your meal!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/1600/857000/IMG_7628.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/320/105339/IMG_7628.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The crowns are from the Xmas crackers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-116880161718564833?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/116880161718564833/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=116880161718564833' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116880161718564833'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116880161718564833'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2006/12/xmas-dinner.html' title='Xmas Dinner'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-116526164653290524</id><published>2006-12-02T21:13:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-01-14T19:17:17.840Z</updated><title type='text'>A trip to Brighton</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yesterday, Kille arrived for a long weekend in Eastbourne. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;*freu*&lt;br /&gt;As the weather was too bad for going out we had a nice day at home and decided to make our trip to Brighton today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a nice breakfast with pancakes and left the house at around 11 a.m. to arrive in Brighton and 12.15 p.m. We parked the car in a parking garage. This is the only possibility to park a car longer than two hours... But it is very expensive - 70p for 15 minutes!&lt;br /&gt;We did not want to do any shoppings so we called Sarah and Alexa, arranged to meet them for a coffee and went through the Lanes to the Pier.&lt;br /&gt;The Lanes are a very nice part of Brighton with small shops in winding lanes. The Pier is like all Piers in the UK but bigger and with an amusement park at the end which also includes a roller coaster *brrr*&lt;br /&gt;Not really interesting when you see Piers in every town or city by the sea, so we just took some photos and headed for the meeting point to meet Sarah and Alexa.&lt;br /&gt;Together we searched for a nice café and took a cream tea (tea with scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam - delicious). The café was gorgeous: It was so small, only three tables fit into the front room and just a few more in a second one. Neither two cups matched together nor did the teapot. Unfortunately, we forgot to take photos :o(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After finishing our tea we said goodbye to Sarah and Alexa and went back to the car passing by The Royal Pavillion and The Dome.&lt;br /&gt;Finally we paid 7 Pound for Parking! Amazing... But it was worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/1600/48706/IMG_7526.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/320/595372/IMG_7526.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Kille and me at the Brighton Pier and Promenade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/1600/174070/IMG_7525.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/320/220893/IMG_7525.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Frothy Fountain in The Lanes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-116526164653290524?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/116526164653290524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=116526164653290524' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116526164653290524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116526164653290524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2006/12/trip-to-brighton.html' title='A trip to Brighton'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-116525582713959763</id><published>2006-11-27T18:26:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-12-04T20:00:44.580Z</updated><title type='text'>Getting a NiNo</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Interesting how different the experiences can be in the case of applying for the NiNo...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a student studying abroad I always need more money - so I started working for the University as a Computer Helper. A really great job: I help people who have problems using the PCs in the University Computer Poolroom. An easy peasy job - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;scarcely anybody has problems, so I can &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;work on my studies and get paid for it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like in Germany I have to get a National Insurance Number (NiNo) when I work here. I get this after an interview at one of the JobCenter Plus'.&lt;br /&gt;First of all, already a few weeks ago,  I went to the Students Office at the University, because I did not know how everything will work. They gave me a leaflet which "told" me to go to the Eastbourne JobCenter Plus. Ok, I did this on Friday after I received the letter from Uni that I have the job.&lt;br /&gt;After 20 minutes of searching for a parking space and 5 minutes of waiting to be attended I got another leaflet with a telephone number I should call to get an interview appointment. Why couldn't they give me this paper at Uni?? This would have saved time and money.&lt;br /&gt;However, I could not reach anybody on Friday, so I had to try again today. The first woman who picked up the phone was really hard to understand. It took us 15 minutes to get all the data she needed and in the end her PC crashed and she told me she would call me back in 5 minutes. I waited nearly half an hour before I called them again and the nice man on the other end of the line told me that there are no data connected to me in the system. Means, I had to tell him everything again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, surprise, surprise - he offered me an appointment for an interview at 1.30 p.m. on the same day (today) - WOW! Unfortunately, the interview should take place in Brighton - that was the rub in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this was not my plan for today, but it is really important so I seized this chance, jumped into my car and drove to Brighton which is only 50 minutes drive away. In the JobCenter they were really surprised that I had an appointment - I was on no list and they asked me three times if I am sure that the appointment is really for today!?&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I waited another 5 minutes till the responsible official got me for the interview. 25 minutes later it was done and now I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks till my NiNo arrives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I already was in Brighton I also visited Sarah and took some photos of our venue for our Project Mangement project. Now, I also know how this looks like and what my team members speak about... :o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/1600/778777/P1010022.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7524/2772/320/410389/P1010022.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Our venue for the PM project&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-116525582713959763?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/116525582713959763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=116525582713959763' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116525582713959763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116525582713959763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2006/11/getting-nino.html' title='Getting a NiNo'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-116457651875344147</id><published>2006-11-26T21:15:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-01-14T19:22:38.370Z</updated><title type='text'>Sunday at the Sea</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Today I had really problems to concentrate on my studies.

The weather was windy but sunny - perfect for a walk down the seafront. At the Pier we met Irina and off we went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, it did not help for my concentration and my neck still hurts... But we enjoyed it!

I have been out for dinners too many times this month. I can't even count anymore - three or four times? Maybe five? But it is so much fun and I really start to love this "socialising" thing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, we went to the "Seafront Tandoori" - an Indian restaurant. A french fellow student (Yacin) recommended we should go there on Sunday evening as they have 50% off on all menus then. What to say more?&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, Yacin could not join us. So it was only Susann, Kenneth, Barbara and me. Which was still enough to have a good laugh and a really nice evening. The menus were great, the waiters very patient (I think they had to explain nearly every dish...?!) and it cost us just 9 Pound each in the end - what a bargain!&lt;br /&gt;I will definitely go there again with Kille.

Nachdem ich am Dienstag zuvor mein erstes Assignment eingereicht hatte, war es an der Zeit, endlich wieder nach London zu fahren und meinen Schatz zu besuchen.&lt;br /&gt;Außerdem hatten wir auch schon viel geplant.&lt;br /&gt;Am Freitag abend ging es nach dem Essen direkt ins Kino - SAW 3 gucken. Blutig, kann ich da nur sagen - aber gut!&lt;br /&gt;Am Samstag erstmal schön lange geschlafen und in Ruhe gefrühstückt (oder besser gebruncht?). Nach vielem Hin und Her und Überredungen von den Kölnern aus dem DiL-Forum (Deutsche in London) haben wir uns dann auch entschlossen zur Karnevalsfeier zu fahren, die zwei Leute ausgerichtet hatten. Nachdem wir aber erst nach über einer Stunde Busfahrt durch London dort ankamen, waren sie auch schon alle verschwunden... Da standen wir nun wie die Pappnasen!&lt;br /&gt;Naja, also direkt weiter zum Get Together ins Larrik - wo es dann auch richtig lustig wurde.&lt;br /&gt;Am Sonntag waren wir dann nach einem kleinen Ausflug nach Chelsea abends in der Royal Albert Hall. Organisiert von einem DiL-Mitglied waren wir mit sieben Leuten zuerst beim Thailänder essen und haben uns danach in der RAH "Best of Broadway" angesehen - wunderschön! Das London Symphonic Orchestra spielte die besten Musical-Hits von Aida bis Spamalot. Und ich war eingeladen - danke Schatz!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7524/2772/1024/PB120086.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7524/2772/400/PB120086.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;  Kille und ich in der Royal Albert Hall (12.11.2006)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'&gt;&lt;img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26488794-116371755515688777?l=hexxe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/feeds/116371755515688777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26488794&amp;postID=116371755515688777' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116371755515688777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26488794/posts/default/116371755515688777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hexxe.blogspot.com/2006/11/wieder-ein-wochenende-in-london.html' title='Wieder ein Wochenende in London'/><author><name>HeXXe</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/6168/img2690fu8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26488794.post-116369900174842573</id><published>2006-11-16T17:14:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-11-16T22:34:37.550Z</updated><title type='text'>Shame on me, I know.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ich habe versprochen, hier regelmäßig zu schreiben, damit ihr auch mitbekommt, was hier so los ist, und ich habe mich nicht dran gehalten...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Aber ihr kennt es selber, es gibt immer interessanteres und wichtigeres als Schreiben (für mich ja sowieso, da ich schon immer wusste - auch ohne Steini - dass ich nicht wirklich gut schreiben kann ;o) ). Und was könnte wohl spannender sein, als in ein fremdes Land zu ziehen um dort zu studieren?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nun ja, nun bin ich also hier, in Eastbourne, East Sussex, UK. In dem Land, wo es reicht seine Hausnummer und die Postleitzahl auf einen Brief zu schreiben, und er kommt trotzdem an. In dem Land, in dem in den Badezimmern aus Sicherheitsgründen Teppiche verlegt werden und man eine Schnur ziehen muss, um das Licht anzumachen. In dem Land, in dem man die Fenster nach außen aufmacht und daher schlecht bis gar nicht putzen kann und dann nicht wieder zu kriegt, weil man zu kurz ist, um an den Griff zu kommen. In dem Land, in dem Wasserzähler eine Neuerung sind und das eine sehr seltsame Art zu recyclen hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und trotzdem: I love it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mein Studium läuft nun seit sieben Wochen und das erste Assignment musste ich auch schon einreichen. Es war die Hölle! Also nicht das Studium - das Schreiben des ersten Assignments ;o)&lt;br /&gt;Das Studium ist ok. Für diejenigen, die nicht wissen, was ich eigentlich genau hier treibe: ich studiere hier einen MA International Event Management (und der ist sogar akkreditiert!). Mal sehen, was ich mir danach davon kaufen kann. Bisher ist es aber interessant. Vieles wiederholt sich aus meinem Studium in Kiel, vieles wird aber auch intensiviert. Aber das Studieren hier ist doch anspruchsvoller – der Standard, der erwartet wird ist einfach höher. Und was man hier alles lesen soll… &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Anyway, ein wenig Zeit um soziale Kontakte zu knüpfen bleibt dennoch. Eastbourne ist zwar das größte Altersheim Englands, aber auch als junger Mensch (und dazu zähle ich mich auch mit meinen 30 Jahren noch) kann man hier noch was unternehmen. Meistens geht man natürlich in einen Pub – wir probieren aber auch gerne immer neue Restaurants aus. Letztens waren ein Italiener und ein Thailänder dran. Oder man trifft sich und kocht zusammen…&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Ein paar Fotos habe ich mal hier eingefügt.
