4 HoursSo for now, I'm finishing with moving my stuff from Reutlingen to Munich.Kinda feels a bit surreal, but I'm in a great mood! After a long period of vacation, fun, traveling, partying, learning, and getting ready for the real world of tomorrow. Literally, I start working tomorrow!I can only recommend that you all take a year off after your studies or after a period of work! It does wonders

A Weekend in SwitzerlandLast weekend I went with a friend of mine to Switzerland and had a really nice time. I believe that the trip, although short and spontaneous, was very enlightening in two ways:1) I met Kiantki2) I met my Swiss family after five years of not seeing them.When I first met Kiantki, it was a this tennis court where my friend, Sebastian Fitz, was going to meet his time in order

What the Easter Bunny brought usWell, the first three months of the year have FLOWN away faster than your DSL/cable connection. Don't you get that feeling? I certainly do! The world isn't exactly a mess right now, but it really such a pretty view. So much has happened lately that you can barely take a deep breath in order to recover. So let us take this deep breath and take a dive into the cold

Is this Iraq? No, this is...this is Mexico! I've been recently been reading a bit on the war in Iraq and well, you do get to see how the Marines or the US Army capture weapons and ammunition.Well, if you see this picture, do you think that this was in Iraq? They sure do look well equipped for waging war, but no, those men you see belong to the Cartel of Sonora (northern Mexico).Mexico might not

About IraqI read a dispatch from the blog of Mr. Michael Yon and how he covers the situation in Iraq by accompanying American soldiers in their missions.I felt that his dispatches are an eye opener or at least a different view of the ongoing conflict within Iraq. I am aware that the world is divided in several camps of pro and against the war. Nevertheless, there are men out there just doing

Something about Fashion: Miu MiuFrom the creator/designer of Prada comes the new brand Miu Miu. This new brand has been in fashion for over two years now. I read an article from the Financial Times Special Weekend about Mrs. Miuccia Prada and found it to be captivating, that I decided to analyze the brand based upon what the article mentioned.This is what it looks like:The analysis is still not

Not all is well in my country, but I love it for what it is, what it has, and where it will go to. I live in other

There’s something about Bodil and Marie! At this precise moment I am taking the ICE (the German express train) back home to Reutlingen and thinking about these past wonderful and cheerful days in Rostock that I spent with my friend Marie and her parents. I never thought that I would stay as long as I did and that is why I want to write about my visit and about this really special girl. So this

Just a Game of Chess!Hey gals & lads! Sorry for being such a lousy blogger. Time to catch up. It seems that life at one point gets so complicated, but at the same time it can be so easy. And well, I believe that life sometimes feels like a game of chess. You know, you start the game with such audacity and security, until you lose a piece or two (and I don't refer to pawns).

Hello Reutlingen!!! What has happened since the end of February / beginning of March???? Well, what more can I say? Nick came along (March 11th or so) and moved into our floor (room 216). Ever since then things have changed a lot. Most of you (especially Wurmhaus people) know that he's as crazy as a goat and a my best friend (in these Schwabenlands).

If they do, then they use it to send e-mails and once in a while check something online.However, my dad has discovered the ease of using skype in order to talk to me. I guess I have to admit that I am really happy for him, because
