Well, I admit that I was a little lazy about writing lately and I have cheated here at the date ... However: A bit of our Hoi recognition of Christmas .
As my packet of biscuits are of course not arrive on time, read some recipes send Anjali, we wanted to try out Quyen house (we have no oven). Sunday before Christmas, so we went with Jonas and Basti to her and began our Well-makers. As the dough Bear Paw was so fluid that you do not form a spot of it could we filled everything in a baking tray and came out a wonderfully chocolatey-nutty cake. Anyway. Our vanilla tasted but not good, thanks to the salty margarine you could tell from the vanilla at all. The Bear Paw did not meet our expectations, only the Ausstecherle could be recognized as such. But how should this go better in a country where we could not find all the ingredients in a large supermarket and replace it with walnuts, cashew nuts had a few grams.
To supplement our cookie shell that is a bit for me on the morning of the 24th So to a baker, which for 1,500 VND puffs Muffins and sold. There were probably others but this idea so I went at 9 clock in the morning! empty-handed. There was evening so salty biscuits with supermarket muffins and ice cream, but ultimately was not too bad, because after the visit to the Indians anyway had no more hunger. At least I do not.

After I sent my Wiehnachtsgeschenke for Germany three months ago, I did the last time thinking about what could get for my friends here. moment I am still pretty random, but so slowly drop me a quite a few good ideas. I can now write about it but not yet, maybe one of them is intended as Anjali and she reads that? two gifts are already finished, a mat made of linen, on the I have painted with acrylic paint a dinosaur and Mary with baby Jesus on canvas - for nuns and priests. Manmanman, from what I could write everything here really think I would be an incredibly religious person. Well.
Monday morning when I woke up and my eyes could not really open up immediately realized that I had to go to the doctor. Fortunately, I was not the only one with aches and pains. Anjali and Sara had been days earlier dates identified in the hospital because Sara can not go well they could even take a taxi. On the right day so I'm sick grown and with a huge sun glasses à la Audrey Hepburn to Da Nang hospital mitgefahren ... In the supermarket I felt stupid even with the glasses before and in the evening twilight on the market. But a sight for the gods must have been when we are driving at night with fire wood at the beach in order to comfortably swallow the fire many many sweets - with sunglasses. Of course.
... not. It is hot, I'm sick, I have no cookies. Yes from, we see at present. Also, I am also very lazy about writing and prefer male (first picture is finished =)) that I ever write something you have to thank Oli. start But how? I have already forgotten so much what I did. For a month is nothing new in my travel journal. But well, I'll start with the church: I was invited to celebrate a festival with the Catholic Vietnamese. So I went right after work to the church, but the show had begun. Therefore, I simply stood at the door, between purely as foreigners rush to borrow would be much more bold to have been - I do not like it here so yeah. After half an hour - all the time was a little girl hopped around me, this is my brush in my pocket 'stolen' was - I was then asked by a man inside. Men and women sat on separate sides, the women left and right men. Mrs Button tells us that in St. Leon-Rot is so well and that the left side of the devil? I do not remember. I was offered both sides, sometimes only in passing. I was the greatest man in the building, the only one without black or gray hair, and probably the only one who has not understood a word. sat During the Show, the mother of my colleagues beside me and said, 'To' - food. Then the pastor even at the invitation of a meal had said I understood and nodded, and I was then led into the yard. There are tables, packed full of food or were better - packed full of meat. Especially for me was then bread, fruit and vegetables brought, I also was allowed to sit between pastors, nuns, and a rather good French-speaking man. That's strange that all speak French better than English or French only, but good, but I'm going to school =). could I also call my Italian knowledge in memory, as I was, essentially, the end of the gate there was an Italian who knew the priest well somehow or something ... What I very unpleasant place, was that as a pastor and I started up the stairs to the tables was applauded and I had to get up when I was speaking of. One wanted me to introduce myself, but I had not for me. Had I finally eh almost no one understood. The problem is, that the pastor has been said that Anjali and I take care of donations - but we know not yet if it works! In any case, I was then dedicated a song, the only in English. You could sing the woman! On the first Christmas we were back in the church, in the morning at half past six. Finally we had to work then ... go now but first we again on the fourth Advent and Christmas, we finally understand anything anyway! But the Our Father, we learn in Vietnamese. Amen.
Even though you will soon tired of her - There is news: Elias, who lives just us, has the last days of lent my bike to go to the beach. This morning I'll come down the stairs and see a bike next to the motorcycle stand. First I was thinking not see anything in the purple saddle, rather than later, but only this bike was there, Elias and I were at home but I've already given some thought. The model is indeed the same, but these colors, and - the intact basket ... Elias afternoon I phoned, he went to the beach and found out: The bike is Sam, the owner of La Plage. He had to go home yesterday, at the wrong bike along and not notice. pity my mom would say. Lila ...
I would like to paint my walls to beautify is, my boss took me on Wednesday with to Da Nang, where I bought for 800,000 VD canvases, acrylic paints, paint palette, brushes, pads and watercolor pencils. We have been driven by car, had plenty of time to talk. Very nice, I found the story of how her son, his name came to Sesame: Quyen and her husband were married for five years before they had a child. For them it was a small Wonder why it should also get a special name. Thanks Alibaba and the 40 thieves, he has now. After that, I still was invited to a vegetarian noodle soup, and I finally went to work the rest of the day. A nice change, that day. The image is my first attempt here to mother and child II by Gustav Klimt - freely interpreted, of course.
From the Vietnamese repair options should sometimes learn a German craftsman. For it is actually much cheaper to stick a leaky pipe with tape. Our tap water is at least close, as the drain. Costs? Something between nothing and a few cents. The whole thing but it could go wrong even if, for example, the sink pipe just drops. skin as it is cheap.
Today Vietnamese Teachers' Day. A true joy would be the German, for colleagues, for each student brings with flowers or gifts. Not only my colleague has wrapped up during working hours in a package wrapping paper, on the roadside were many many stalls where bunches of flowers were sold. On my way to work were the children who were driven to school on motorbikes all small packages and roses in his hand. It's funny has almost greater extent than the parent or Valentine's Day in Germany! I also got a gift. Soeur Marthe, Marthe II, Marie Therese and I have given a red rose and a bag. I did not even know beforehand what of that day and was therefore very surprised - and touched. They are just too nice to me. As Soeur Marie told me that she always looks forward to teaching English, I've also really happy, even more than the freshly squeezed orange juice, I always get when I am with them.
7.866 million seconds, 131,100 minutes, 2185 hours, 91 days or 3 months ...
I am now in Vietnam. 5.4668 million seconds, 90,780 minutes, 1513 hours or 63 days of it in Hoi Timer screen time passed so quickly, I'm really looking forward to showing what the next nine months ... I noticed that I have not really written, as for so a week here for me looks like ... After three months, so it really time period. I've now got the new working hours, is intended to clock out of ten bis sechs clock in the evening, including Sundays. I was able to pick me for another day off Saturday, but have not decided yet. The main reason is that I do currently work six days a week to collect holiday ... come on Monday Ni, Na, and Nas Tinh girlfriend at seven clock by 30 to learn one hour English, just as Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday and Thursday von acht bis neun clock 30 clock 30, I then go to the nuns and also learn English, Monday and Wednesday evening to learn Quyen and I have a hour of German and Vietnamese. In between, I'm still working at the store, sell, tourists lead by the workshop, the cradle products from the online shop (so that customers know how much postage they must pay for an order) or write Sponsorship Forms. The latter has made it so much fun, because now we have two apprentices, and Cuc Trang. Cuc can not hear my questions and therefore had to be translated into sign language before I could write the text about their lives. Just now, I'm going to translate the forms into German as' One World Shops " then to interpret them. A customer that is working there and was very interested in working together. Furthermore I have to take care of me now for sponsors for the local parish. Because the roof of the Catholic Church, by the way, the first Vietnam is broken, but lacks any money for repairs. The space for the Communion and Confirmation classes are destroyed - because of age (the church was built during the Vietnam War), the weather and the typhoon. I am every day after work so done that I go to bed at nine clock, my legs hurt even more the next morning. So I was already very long since the La Plage to the beach to see movies or do yoga, I was in the cinema just once, I can not do sports anymore. It's funny when you come home from school in a whole day just sitting around and suddenly now only has to stand and think through. This is hard.
... I had today! After I worked through the last 13 days and to my 15 vacation days you get 2.5 extra, there was now a rest. The morning I spent with the 3?, Angels and Daemons and a fruit salad in bed until noon and I went off to do some errands. In the Kodak shop, for example, I can develop 93 photos, the walls and doors now decorate (one Semra-eat-series included). When the photo man had drawn the pictures on the PC, he saved the folder under 'thay' from 'foreigners'. But we'll, he has done his work well, so that 's ok ... My room, one can not necessarily be described as eye candy now looks at least somewhat comfortable, I hope it is, if I can finally raise screens. Well I would like the water colors of her daughter, as they do not use acrylic paint and it would even possible to buy too. Then I have a great room. I hope. We have not bought a basketball and let us tailor clothes. However, I am not sure how it will work. Namely, a summer dress hung in a tailor shop, I wanted to without loop, but with three flowers, lace sleeves, square neckline and a button row. The seamstress has unfortunately written nothing, but inquired about the rent for our house. Maybe she has a great memory ... I hope so. morning I worked eleven hours and then can call me a proud owner of four additional vacation days. What is stupid though, is the weather. The whole time it was incredibly hot on my day off is not. morning.
... now I had my first accident here. While I nothing happened, but I got the wrath of an ancient grandmother pulled on me. I think she has cursed me - there were bad words. Not to mention the evil eye. But I understood nothing. stood in a one-way street, a bus, another wanted it over. But he barely fit through, so the bus driver drove very slowly and carefully. A motorcycle driver and I were bit behind, behind a truck again. But did not want to wait until the bus has finally squeezed through, but just drove more and more. That he went on my bike, I pushed forward and then he was knocked over but no matter. Finally, I'm not always really liked, only a very very old lady, now ME hates. Well thank you.
With this catchy tune I have to sleep every night. Steady it is sung and played, 'Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is twentyfive minutes too late. Though you traveled so far boy I'm sorry your are twentyfive minutes too late. " Ahhh.

long time, I am no longer here in Cape Town. On Saturday 5 September is my flyer and Sunday afternoon, sometime around 1:30 am I then in Munich. the time my parents are here. Both have survived the 16 hours flight and are "fresh" and "lively" came from. at the same airport we rented a car and it went straight to the hotel. I also took a few days free. So we can do things together. is a detailed report on the final phase of my stay in South Africa it the next day. Last Sunday I, (about 1.5 hours from Cape Town) of the Maltese and the novel in the wine region of Stellenbosch were. We had great summer weather and have it let us go well on a wine farm. On the way back we visited spontaneously a colleague having in Paarl (about 1 hour from Cape Town) hotels. the evening was once again the Campsbay announced.
attacked a German butcher, the most beautiful toilet in the world discovered sailing made
stuff was going on again this weekend.
But before I get into that, you have to look at you this picture.
The 4 interns in Cape Town, South Africa (work hard on).
(I think this picture we need to hang in Memmingen in Pfeifer in the personnel department) "ggg"
Monday to Wednesday "day off" and then Patrol. Thu, Fri, Sat, so are the days here. (And not just fuartgeh-technical).
On Friday we went shopping in size. And although at a German butcher. We have in fact organized on Saturday a Brai with me on the terrace overlooking the sea.
Chicken kebabs, ostrich fillet, steak and meatloaf was because in addition to wine, beer and cocktails, salads, fish, etc. in the offer.
At peak times there are 9 people joined us on the terrace. The three interns, I and my two roommates, who paints and short-term and also T & T (Thorsten and Thorsten).
All screams for repeat and is carried out again as long as I'm definitely still here.
Otherwise, I discovered the toilet with the likely time for the best view of the world.
And indeed a Dixi-Klo with us on the stadium roof.
When I open the door you look at the Table Mountain, when you look the other side, you can see on the open ocean and on the waterfront. The impressive 50-meter increase in the compression ring (a 2.5 meter wide steel ring) - just fascinating.
the Sunday I was then entered into lightly. The other interns were on their way to the Cape of Good Hope. Since I already true and the Malta where we stayed "home".
We went to breakfast and then took a 1.5 hour sail.
the evening we had at first then with me on the balcony (sunset, wine bottle ,...) and then finish off in Camps Bay.
Tri-Nations Cup, Table Mountain climbing and Regulated by the Beverly Hills South
Yes, yes, many things We were allowed to do this weekend. The first makes the Tri-Nations Cup match of the Springboks against Australia here in Newlandsstadion in Cape Town. We were namely live performances. As I had reported many times in advance so that was the rugby event of the year here in Cape Town. Accordingly, the interest was what we mitbekamen on the way to the stadium. The Lord Schlögl was with some colleagues, including in the stadium, but in a different box from another company and so we were four interns alone in the top rope box. We have ordered a taxi to 2 clock (the game was first release by 5 clock) to the traffic chaos and get along in time to be on site. Everything worked out pretty well. And we still had enough time to eat before the game what to make and a few drinks (sponsored by top rope). The game and the atmosphere was much more fantastic. The stadium was sold out of course. (But fit in 51,000 spectators). And, as already described, this is a pure pandemonium. On one side of the stands go even further than 7 levels. Just almost straight up. After the game we had in our box again a lot of fun. We know now already, and so makes it much more fun. about 11 counter-clock we went by taxi to Cape Town in the direction where we end the evening on Long Street. On Saturday was our table then climb to the program. - Genial -. Below was a bit of fog or very low-lying clouds and the top of Table Mountain was one in the bright sunshine above the clouds. " have course we won our bet. It took us 1.5 hours up. The Wesley (our Health and Safety Officer) said if we do it in 2 hours we are good. He has probably underestimated us a little bit of Bavaria. must also admit we're pretty quick running high. The what was already quite go to something else like the last time the cable car up. Is better if one can say that one foot of Table Mountain has climbed. enjoy 2 hours sun on the beach were still inside even before we opened ourselves again in the evening after Campsbay. Because it is so beautifully simple, here are a few pictures of my new apartment on the beach. Oh one more thing: What need my eyes for there to witness. After much consideration, it was clear to me then. You have the Alex blindfolded with the hope that he might then take the ball better right?
As you might could you read out on my last blog entry is here at the moment pretty much "haywire". auto login, the procession and to take care of the new interns.
short re-register the car: course, the car that I bought from Bernd, then register. I also need a traffic License here in South Africa. All this would be our said Health and Safety Officer Wesley no problem and can it do for me. this I would need only one text signed by Bernd that he gave me the car was sold. I also had the power of attorney Wesley issue that he is allowed to register my car for me, passport photo, money and documents of Bernd he needed also. had finally I drove all together and Wesley to Traffic Department. He came with the words "no luck" again. I had to work himself well. I did not know where the Traffic Department is accurate, I have the Sasha (our secretary) taken as a driver. Once there was a 15m long queue and we were both pretty busy in the office we went again reversed and drove back to "the most beautiful site in the world," as she calls my roommate our project. Standing on the roof of the football stadium, and looks up the mountain and can see whales in the Atlantic. I tried my luck finally this morning at 8 clock. It was, as predicted by Sascha, not much going on and I was able to rush to an open switch. where I got the good news that I need 2 passport photos, and of course I only had one in the bag. ie, get back to Clifton and my second passport photos. No stop - I've got a date - and at half-9th at this time was the landlord of the apartment of the new interns to Sir Francis to inspect them. I looked to him so we stopped at the apartment and all deficiencies in writing. order now far from talking to the bush, I now have all the documents for my new car. I only say one thing: Who can live in South Africa re reporting a car and to request a Treffic-License, which is prepared for all other problems of this world. morning we have further back. By 3 clock I have to be in my new apartment. As someone comes and repaired our alarm in the house the total spins. And we have already seen 3 times before. There are, as in every home in South Africa, an alarm system are called "hot" must make when you walk out of the house (enter code, then you have to leave the house sec.um 30) and at home are the same. For three people (no one knows whether someone is at home and whether the alarm just a one-off or has) a very big problem. But we now know by now that The alarm works and within 3 minutes, a fully armed security with West income, etc. outside the front door is the finger on the trigger. But on the third day in a row, he knew us already and find it almost funny that 3 engineers are not with the alarm on the series. on my car registration documents for me is just the "name" of my new address became really aware. "No.4, 2nd Clifton Beach, Cape Town" sounds somehow to cool. Otherwise, it makes with the new 2 interns, and Philip Benjamin, a lot of fun. If we are to 4 go to the Gulf by Einser Cape Town is always a Gaude. On the second day, the statements of Benjamin and Philip: "I will never back away from Cape Town" or "this is a dream here, the most beautiful city in the world." clear Ganz. Were on the Long Street Springbok eat (the flesh disintegrates on the tongue) with a fine South African wine, what more could you want. morning the Lord sends us Schlögl four interns at a lecture by the chief structural engineer of the stadium roof. The whole place tomorrow at 8 clock (with breakfast) instead and I'm very excited. This is a very, very interesting to the previous day. The roof is in fact a real static "miracle". The entire roof structure is deposited almost exclusively at one point. All other Vertical forces are dissolved in air. The roof spans 60 meters (16m alone the cantilever) and stored only on one point. Simply brilliant. create Perhaps I also have some time to provide a more detailed explanation, but this must come again until regular schedule.
{On Sunday, about 30 degrees in the sun, blue sky} (as could almost every day here in deepest winter), I initially picked up at 4:30 our two new interns from the airport. Philip and Benjamin are the two that come from Munich and complete register their internship semester. Both are difficult in order and very nice. All two are housed at the Sir Francis. One at my apartment (my old apartment, I moved to: see below) and for the others we've rented an apartment in between. So between my past and the home of Gabriel. We have spent a long time and are not at the same great weather at half past 6 in the direction of Clifton (where my beach house is) set off to the sunset on this beautiful beach to enjoy. Then we drove then straight on to Camps Bay for dinner and then to a beach bar. (This is the hottest place on Sunday in Cape Town). Great atmosphere, right on the beach with palm trees and ocean, etc. join Moreover, there really super cool people. Yesterday was the rugby legend (still playing as a "C" for the Springboks) as John Smit. (Together with two colleagues and the "C" of the cricket team from South Africa was also present, which turned out in retrospect. As described many times before rugby and cricket almost sacred in South Africa and Jon Smit a superstar. He was even 2007, as South Africa Rugby World Cup was as captain of the Springboks on the field. (as were the news today on TV and of course again Previews of the game against Australia this Saturday here in Cape Town, he was to see large). And exactly who was next to us stood at the bar. Of course we have the same photographic evidence. Apart from the live to see 1.98 m, 119 kg (lean muscle mass) was very impressive. said and how in retrospect when you look a little bit of information that was one of the best experiences here. Nice and slow we've got the knack, where you can be at what day in Cape Town. Thursday Jeads "the place to be is on Thursday.
But now really on the subject about which I wanted to tell you for days. I moved to Clifton at the beach.
This is our dream beach: Our patio And our view from the living room:
Here now is the report that I had actually prepared for you:
... . I will then move together with the two new interns, who arrive on Sunday at 16.30 clock in CT).
That sounds at first as a unique range of what you should not refuse.
three interns in a beach hut in Cape Town with your own car (my Einser City Golf course).
Clifton is located approximately between Green Point (where I live now and where the stadium is) and Camps Bay (the Nobel resort where we are at the coffee drinking and bathing are).
As I said: It's located right on the beach. The view from the living room and bedroom walks past palm trees rocks and fine white sand on the sea.
The first days are determined bad sleeping. The sea can hear incredibly loud.
determined but an incredible feeling wake up and to rest directly on the beach (bedroom and living room have a huge glass window as a "wall").
And here five weeks to live. To a beautiful beach where you are normally not reach in 1,000 years but just great - right?
course now come the disadvantages.
I have in the first line not have a flat for me. Here (I've described many times before) I live in a separate housing with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, directly overlooking the Green Point Stadium and the harbor.
In Clifton While everyone has his own bedroom (two down, one above) has. But only a Bad. (Evlt. also two, I'm not sure).
But if one looked at the beginning sets up rules and take up the consideration, then there will be no problems.
And one's just "away from Cape Town. So we must def. Min.10 minutes drive is up to the Sir Francis. And if you directly into the "inner city", Waterfront or Long Street will be best man. 15 min einrechnen. (The taxi is more expensive, of course, again) and we always have to arrange a threesome with the car.
But basically we are anyway all day at work and Sunday which is then not a major problem.
For dinner, we can then also a few Time to Camps Bay. This is about 5 minutes away.
I also identify the two new interns still have no idea with whom I live from Sunday almost 24 hours.
As you can see, another great adventure, which opens here.
But I think it was the right decision. Such an opportunity I never more.
So, that was the text I had originally prepared for you.
But as so often in life everything is different.
And although I do not live together with the two new interns, but with Yuri and Alex.
To supplement our cookie shell that is a bit for me on the morning of the 24th So to a baker, which for 1,500 VND puffs Muffins and sold. There were probably others but this idea so I went at 9 clock in the morning! empty-handed.
