Birmingham 'n' paintball; 26/01/08 - 27/01/08

Weekendtrip to Birmingham, with Rocky, who 'll leave to China soon, and some of his Ningbo friends who arrived lately.

Saturday.
Went by train to Birgmingham in the morning. Everything tooks longer and was a bit more expensive than expected.
Took cab to paintball-area. The driver didnt got a navi, however he claimed to know everything and if he doesnt know no-one would.
After few calls, and the paintball area was really poorly signed, we arrived. And he dindt charged us for all the amount on the meter.

paintball was great.
6 diferent areas, with different tasks. each 2 rounds.

I dont know if its chinese behaviour not to read instructions, but one of ROckys frineds tried to remove his googles before we arrived the safty-zone. Thereby he was expelled from the game.

After that we took a taxi back to town.
Anyway, the correct adress got lost, and the driver got a wron postcode [the uk postcode eg. NG7 2JR includes not only the area, also the street and sometimes even a small range of numbers, so...]
Anyway, no correct postcode nor street or correct name of hotel.
The driver got really pissed off. He had to phone his operator as he accepted another ride. He said:"Unfortunatly I picke up these chinse people,...."
Anyway, after several calls we finally got to the appartment.
And to my suprise he just charged us for £24, the amount we said we had to pay for the last ride. However, he mentioned just because he has another ride to go to.

The appartment was really great. 3 bedroms, 2 bathes, nice livingroom with tv and ipod docking, and kitchen.
All us as had a shower.

After that we went to china town to meet the others. We had dinner in a chinese restaurant.
Rocky asked also for an english menu, but the owner said that has different meal to the chinese one.
Anyway foo was good, but honestly not all. I really hate to eat crab, as it comes in his shell...
but most food was good.

Then we wen to tesco to buy some drinks and food.
And we spent the evening in the appartment, listening to chinese music and playing sone "chines drinking games"
But NO-ONE got drunk INCLUDING ME [adressed to aki and sg]

Next day we went to city to do some shopping.
Took the train. I was home at about 8pm.

Was a really great weekend. Met some new nice people.

24/01/08 korean/japanese society party

Hey there, first party of 2nd term.
And last clubbing with my chinese friend Rocky.

Could get cheaper society tickets throught my korean friend again.
Met him later on the party, but he was quite drunk. They had celebrated a birthday before. "Korean-Style" so he was really down.
Korean drink quite alot and not just only the guys.

Party was good, me many friends.

German Dinner 2nd

Eigentlich das gleiche, nur andere Leute. Geschmeckt hats auch allen.
Achja, Koreaner trinken mehr Bier als Chinesen.

after exams

So, die ganzen Klausuren sind jetzt gelaufen. Einige waren wichtiger andere nicht. Einige liefen gut, andere eher nicht.
Aber die die gut laufen sollten taten das wohl auch.

So richtig Zeit im inne zu halten ist leider nicht. Der 2te Term beginn gleich am Montag. Und ist leider auch nicht all zu lang, so dass ich wohl ziemlich ranklotzen muss mit der Studienarbeit.

Einige neue Freunde haben Nottingham bereits verlassen, andere werden dass in Kürze tun. Daher werde ich in der nächsten Zeit mit der/dem ein/en und andere/n noch was unternehmen.

In wieweit ich neue Leute kennen lernen werde bin ich mal gespannt, da ich mich gefühlt in der Sättigung befinde.

Desweiteren steht jetzt auch scon die Reiseplannung für das neue Semester an. Ich will mir noch die ein oder andere Stadt in England angucken, und sicherlich auch mal nach Dublin.
Und in den Osterferien geht es vllt sogar in die Staaten.

Die Praktikumsplanung will dann auch konkretisiert werden. Gibts noch ein Kurzes in England? Und wie genau solls mit dem Reich der Mitte laufen?

Anfang März werden mich dann auch meine Eltern hier besuchen.
Weitere Besucher haben sich bis jetzt nicht angekündigt.

Ja, es steht einiges and. Aber es macht Spass.
Viele Grüsse

EastAsienBusiness

Naja, war nicht so toll. auch nicht viel gelernt.

I'm more into engineering.



However, all exams are done now!!!!!!!!!!!!

PowerNetworks

Das war heute keine Glanzleitung, aber egal.

Gereicht haben wirds schon, und das ist ja immerhin auch etwas.

Not a very proud performence.

PowerElectronicDesign

Es warn Spaziergang. - zumindest teilweise.
piece of cake .... partially



The bad things as usual have been the short questions.
However the calculation part. "calculation part" was nice.
Honestly I have to addmit I made some mistake in one exercise, but as we could choose 2 out of 4 in the calculation part that wasnt really a problem.

Anyway, very different to TUBS (short for our Uni in Braunschweig).
And very easy compared to Meins exams with Turki-4-quadranten-steller.


I'm feeling exausted as normal after an exam. But tmr is the next one and this one counts (hopefully)

exams

JA, in so lustigen tollen Räumen mit viel Platz in alle Richtungen schreibt man Klausuren.



Mit dem Hintergrund, dass das Ergebnis egal ist, ist das schon fast wieder lustig....

Nachtrag (auf wunsch)

I'd also like to mention one of the two famous "Winselbrüder", not A...... but "El AL Bolito" or more commen Burrito.
We have had much fun in Magaluf.
Except one guy whose jacket got stolen.... but thats another story.

Hallo, hier wird jetzt die nächsten 14 tage nicht viel passieren. bis dahin ist nämlich lern und klausur phase.
lernen geht wie immer schleppend voran.
liegt aber sicherlich daran, das man nach einigen jahrne studium iregndwann keinen bock merh hat für klausuren zu lernen.!!!!!!

so sucht man immer ablenkung...... immerhin habe ich heute mein fahrad repariert
