Sunday.... really nothing better to do, we walk all the way to our attached college, quite a significant distant and made some wrong turns... quite a big one....

Some of the photos taken on the way....

This is the bridge that separate 2 different city, Ludwigshafen, the one we living at, and Mannheim, the one where we are attach to... travelling by tram takes around 20 mins, walk takes around an hour...

And we are nuts enough to walk there today.....

The river....

And finally here we are, Hochschule Mannheim

Finally, is 1st September, still can remember, is Singapore teachers´ day... and is the commencement of our attachment to hochschule Mannheim... We are suppose to meet a lady Doris at 1pm, but as singaporean, kaisuism, we reached the school at 12pm.... waited .... but we are fortunate eough to meet some malaysia firends and is willing to help us up in one or another way... then met our professor. He is a head taller than me, i have to tilt my head 40° to talk to him, you can imagine how Darin is going to talk to him... will take some photos if there is a chance.... haha

then tour around around department... met a German friend, we will be working with him on his project. Still don get his name yet... he is also taller than me.. this environment don really suit darin...

didn really do much in school that they, report at 1pm, left at 3

Then clean up and Generals again..,

1 Week has gone

2008-09-02T22:22:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the late update of blog, cos when to swiss for a week and follow by some clean up of Malcolm house, pretty messy and dirty....

So continue from where i have stopped....

When we reach Ludwigshafen was already quite late and camera battery life running low, didn really take a lot of photos..... Just went straight to our new home, staying there for the next 5 months....

Right the next day we went around the placeThe brick colored building is the place where we will be staying for the next 5 months!!

Went around our place, taken some photos...

Right outside our appartment

Then we went for a sumptous breakfast, it was a buffet at here:
the drinks is free flow, just 4 cups of coffee, cuppacino or tea is enough to cover up our expenses here, haha. We all eat till more than 本钱, haha, think the boss may blacklist us.....

German Library

Some Streets

Then after that, went to the bank, open an account, then went to ludwigshafen town hall to do our resident permit, but failed to do so as it was at some other places.... top up the pre-paid card.. and some other admin stuffs

After all admin stuffs are done, we went for ice-cream!!! Malcolm recommended us a spaghetti-ice, indeed, it was a nice one *_* cant find in singapore, discuss about maybe patent it in singapore.... hmmm not a bad idea..... below is the photo take

Under the berries is the vanilla ice-cream, it is made in such a way that the ice-cream looks like a plate of spaghetti... We discuss about probably we can come out with Mee-pok ice in singapore, all kinds of noodles come out, we even think out of the box, forget about noodles, go for satay ice... hahaha

Later around 6+, we meet up with another 2 singaporeans, Azman and Xiao Ling for dinner. Azman is studying a Diplomin, something offer in german, is a qualification equivalent to Masters in Germany. And Xiao Ling is a student of NUS, going for Masters, Chemical Eng. We actually intend to have our dinner there but .... it was closed... so bo bian.... we went to try out some german foods..

Overall is not bad, and tried out some german beer...

Then right after then meal, Azman gotta rush for his trams to Mannhiem as he don live in ludwigshafen.... then we walk home with Xiao Ling... Once we reach home, did some emailing and msn... That's it for the day, and anitcipating for the next day as we are going to Switzerland!!!!!!!!!!!

And now is the switzerland section, haha

We took train all the way from Ludwigsafen to mannhiem to basel, some photos on the way to basel and at basel train station....

Then further move from basel to Luzern....

And finally we reach Luzern. The words Luzern means lion, that is all i know.... We are to wait here for an hour plus plus plus.... for the a ferry to bring us across a lake in siwss.... Luzern is quite a pretty city....

Then after resting at Kuzern, we went to do some shopping in supermarket, to buy some foods later eat on ferry as we are taking ferry to Stansstad....

One the ferry....

This is part of my lunch

Then we reach Stansstad

Then go Stans, the place where our farm stay will, but didn stop long at there as we are going to Engelberg.. the scenery is very pretty....

The train very classic..

Here is my dinner

Getting to Mannhiem/Ludwigshafen

2008-08-27T03:59:00.000+08:00

Right after we reached the airport, thankfully our landlord, Malcolm called us, he will be feytching us at the Mannhiem train station. But how thing does not turn out to be smooth. One of Jia Wei's luggage was lost during transit. Lucky other than his railway pass, nothing else important is in it. This was quite a delay, and Darin and I ended up have to run our way to the train station.

lucky, we will still able to make it in time and taken some photos....

The train is really good, look very high class and high speed....

When we arrive at Mannhiem, it was already 9.24pm (German Time), due to jet lag (Crossing many time zone at 1 time), throughout our 18hrs of journey, the sun did not set, we are already very tired, didn really took much photos....

Will have more updated photos on my next post.

And the next, we wake up quite early, also due to jet lag

Getting to Germany

2008-08-27T00:08:00.000+08:00

Finally leaving for the long awaited time!!! I am leaving for germany!!! Have been longing for this a very long time.

WE ARE GOING TO GERMANY

Some memories just before we left Changi airport, haha, really fun. Our Flights is at7.45, but we met 4am at the airport, a bit kaisu, haha

And 7.45am, we left Singapore.....

Arrive 10am(sg time) at the Bangkok airport, waiting for the transit. The next flight is 3.45 mins later and we are clever enough to make full use of the time.

Guess what we do?

We did take some photos, but is with Yanhong who went to lemgo and don have internet access right now.... so bo bian....

But I have her photos here, muahahahaha!!!!!
