A few more lines

Ok,

so I have some more minutes today to write a bit more.. And actually I don't know how or where to begin.. cause it will take some time I guess to write the whole history of me coming here.. but I have to start one time and I think the time is now ;)

So it all began a year ago when I decided to apply for erasmus in our Uni. And, to cut the story short, I succeeded and so I could be here now, in Berlin, as the student of FHW during the Summersemester 2008!

The way to Berlin was not so bad. Actually I was packing my things on Monday 10th (getting nervous, but just a bit) and some hours later I was already on my way, still not believing it that much.. The bus was quicker than expected, so I got to Berlin ZOB around 4.45 am (!). Yes, it's quite a strange time I have to admit, but for 4 euro for the ticket from Brno to Berlin, it's not bad, is it? Normally it's much more expensive but if you have the right friends who have the right friends who know about special actions.. then you're lucky.

And I was lucky. And also because I have some other good friends who were waiting for me at the station and took me to my new "home" here in Berlin. 5 in the morning.. they must be really good friends! ;)

We came to the WH around 5.30, nobody there. Surprisingly :) After calling a lady whose number was hanging there on some paper we found out that the housekeeper comes at 7 am earliest. Poor lady.. she asked "what's the time actually?". It was 6.30. Nice waking up..
We went to Spandau, looking for a place where we could get a coffee and something for breakfast. Well, was not so easy to find, actually. But we found another important place - the wall street in Berlin (= a street called Am Wall, in Spandau).

Then we went back to my place and finally found the guy to give me the keys. He is a good guy. With a propper Berlin accent.. janz jut.
So I could move in, with all my stuff, jipiiii. And then I could sleep, jipiiii. Well, after a night in the bus.. I deserved it. And my bed is really big, bigger than the one I have at home. But also much softer, but I'll get used to it..

The next days passed quite quickly. Besides all the burreaucratical things I had to go through (WH contract, paying the rent, "Anmeldung" at the towhall, opening the bank account etc.) I managed a little sightseeing (but not so much as I had to go on foot almost everywhere, cause nearly the whole public transport employees were on strike the whole week) and shopping also.

Well, talking about shopping.. I went to buy a USB cabel to my camera as I forgot the original one at home (and so far it's the only important think I forgot, ,I guess. Not bad, is it?). So I went to the electro shop and asked the guy there and somehow he persuaded me to buy a card reader for 10 euro. Sounded like a really good offer. So I buyed it.. And you cannot imagine how stupid I felt when I went out of the shop and realised that I don't have any card in my camera yet. I was just using the internal memory.. Ehm.. well.. Women and hi-tech you would say. And I was always against this saying, actually I felt quite confident in these things, with modern technology. Well, I have a reason to buy a card now;)
But later I discovered that the USB cabel that was packed with the card reader fits to my camera! What a nice surprise!! So I have 2 in 1 now. For 10 euro. Wouldn't you buy that?
In czech we say something like "the fool have luck".. maybe it works. I was lucky with that.

At least I learned that I have to think about what I am buying, the best before I buy it :)

Ok, I guess that could be all for today. I don't want to exhaust anybody. Nor myself. I have 4 days of holidays now. Hope it won't be snowing like yesterday. Next week I'll continue, about our German course and other stuff. So, until then!
