Post-coursum

After the course things began to change of course. We have all together around four weeks break between the end of language course 29.03 and the start of semester 24.04. Many went home or traveling in the first few days after the course. I had to move out of my room into the Evangelischer Studentenwohnheim. However I had to move out on a Friday and I couldn't move in until Monday. Luckily Søren Kristian, one of my Danish friends here, went home to Denmark and had a spare key. I was able to stay in his room for the weekend.

I moved successfully on Monday, and although my new residents seems like a good community, it's very hard to get a realistic impression of it as it's pretty much empty at the moment.
On Wednesday my Laptop hard-drive decided it was a good time to die. As such I lost all my photos from Singapore bar those that are in this Blog, half of my music and all my files (ok, they're in Australia but I no longer have them here). I was, still am,disappointedd. I also had to fork out $100 for a new hard drive!

On Friday I embarked on a trip around Germany. It was originally going to be a few of ustravelingg, but in the end turned out to be me and Astrid, another Dane. I'm writing now from Bamberg, a university city almost untouched by the destructive bombing raids of WWII. The entire old city is UNESCO World Heritage and very beautiful. It's divided in two parts, the religious part and the citizens part with the border being the river. The town hall, originally desired to be built in the religious part but not permitted by the bishop, is located right in the middle of the river and forms the middle of a two arch bridge.

After Bamberg we're heading to Leipzig, the former home of the Stasi, East-German secret police, for a few days, followed by Prague for three days then Berlin for four. Then flying back to Freiburg to catch the last half of the international students orientation week.
