Germany (perhaps) most beautiful city

One week in Dresden

semester break a good thing. They offer the opportunity to relax and learn new simultaneously. Is it possible to combine the two, so you can from a successful Time to talk. Such a perfect weekend is my first holiday week was. I was able to visit a former roommate in Dresden. And - in addition to the most beautiful city in Germany - and still meet the (probably) pretty town: Pirna. The town on the Elbe, only 20 kilometers upstream from Dresden, has become ever known, with a specific interest. Rather, the whole town is worth seeing. In contrast to Dresden in World War Pirna was spared from bombing. While Dresden is therefore challenged to combine a fragmented city into a whole, can Pirna limited to cosmetic corrections. With pride I can

now present the result of my vacation week: Two new photo albums that will give you an idea of the cities Dresden and Pirna. The albums can be reached via the links in the right sidebar albums worth.

such thing as redemption

I was sloppy. Many months. Since then, this blog ekes his monotonous existence. Day after day the same rates, photos and thoughts. But today everything is different. For with each of these sets piece by piece takes life a new and fresh - just a piece of my life. And the last few weeks, turned almost exclusively to exams and essays. Thus remained apart from the typical activities a Bachelor enslaved few students scope for much more important things: Write, for example.

But such a thing as redemption is in sight. Because on the plan next week are the last two exams. Thus, Friday for the day that saved me. A taste was liberating to what might come next, already offered this weekend. Some days I was in Kassel, the city of my community service time forward. A matter of course? Absolutely not. Rather the result of tactical plans! Because of this possibility leave were countless months of preparation are essential. Only with strategically considered interior calculus, I managed a friend from Sülzhayn for FSJ to Kassel to move him for stationing in my previous flat. The goal: instrumentalization the ideal destination in central Germany. The reaction: very successful, as it now can claim. For many times I have been able to post the municipality of my residence. And so again in the enjoyment of Kassel's cultural advised.

On Friday evening, just this culture was an import from Berlin. The band Siva. from Berlin concert was at the slaughterhouse. And we were there, Louise, a friend from Leipzig, and me. The rest of the initial interested parties on the other hand, decided to get sick or cancel it.

The music was loud and - no other word captures it better here - mitsichziehend. The melancholy melodies, The wide, built under electric sound and the good wine offered to relax the optimum conditions. On Saturday, however, had little to do with relaxation. They forgot we had to visit at the idea of lock Wilhelm height and Hercules, so that a medium hike would entail. And this was on the icy paths to venture. Appropriately formulated to impossibility. After a short time had to realize we do: cross through the forest, where snow had not yet become ice - only there we move forward. Reward for the effort: a good view over Kassel, some photos for this blog entry and legitimately hungry for lunch.

Now I am back in Trier and begin to the last checks to learn. Louise has stayed in for another night in Kassel, western Europe before their tour with final register is being given a sequel. And do not forget: Cornelius, my tactical stationed starting point, is, I hope, on the road to recovery. Good luck.

I Want To Forget Spanish

20 years unit. Ne?

half past nine in the morning (total) of Germany.

It's amazing how many walls 20 years after the fall of the wall are still standing. The physical division is of course History. But the divisions in many minds, mouths and wallets last a reality.

German or still Westerner?
Since this morning I am officially reported in Trier. With principal place of residence. And so - at least in theory - Rhineland-Palatinate, and - you hardly dare to write the word, let alone talk to - "Westerner". The fact that today the same 20 Anniversary of the fall is, I was not aware until the transition to citizen's Office. It dawns on me only from the remark of the officer that I would have chosen for "this step" a "historic day". Then at the university, the welcome a Saarland Kommilitionen (the West German membership in fact is quite cool as well!): "Happy Memorial Day!" , "Um ... today?" I thought it was day the Berlin Wall! " , "Yes, I say that.".

I'll take a pound unit. - Must be what's else?
After this enlightening conversation back to me a little more clearly how it is with our unity. Only one walk through the campus offers a fascinating opportunity to hear a variety of more or less German dialects: Rheinisch in all variants, Luxembourg et la table Français and occasionally a little Schwäbisch (like Baden forgive me my untrained discernment!). But all the accents above the Palatinate and Saarland. So far, so good. The ubiquity of Brandenburg and Saxon I would not ask in this corner of the republic. (Not even the desire you ask me!) The main difference I see in the other hand, the content of what is said. Because when I followed the "baker's corner", entered the hitherto almost overtook me everyday culture shock again. "I get two grains bread!" requires a customer to me. Naturally asks when I'm at the range, the shop as well: "And what do they get?" .
I know what the people say so - and that they mean no harm. But it gives information about the mentality behind it, the certainty that everyone is entitled allegedly appears in the old federal states much more pronounced. "I'd like a liquor bread." I answer it - coupled with a smile. From the seller apparently interpreted as a declaration of war, it fills my buns in the bag, looks at me grumpy: "Then I get 45 cents."

differences. And similarities?
Many more experience of the differences in expression Places I would call possible here. But I'll just leave it at that. Differences between East and West are well known. However, awareness is still lacking for many common features. However, I am well aware that common ground and apparently everywhere equally little attention. Perhaps, even the not so bad. Finally, awareness of one's own home, not least, also provide security and belonging. Be sure to always have a place of retreat. In addition, the prejudices of my new environment compared to my home have caused me no major damage. On the contrary: There is conversation and the occasion for humor. And finally culture and mentality will also align themselves over time and generations of its own. Hopefully with a tiny trend towards the east.
