soooooorry, it´s been a while

Hey guys...
It actually needed a friend of mine to remind me that I should update my blog... Shame on me!
But not that much did happen during the last weeks.
Studying, partying, working - that´s all I do... :)

Stuttgart - Opening of the new trade fair centre

the end...











Pforzheim
This semester something really wired is happening... The new students - newies - don´t know how to party!?!?!?!
I´m really shocked! But it´s not just me - all older students are confused. What happend to the good old student live? Or am I just to old for this shit?! (take care what your saying if you wanna leava a comment!!!)
But honestly... the clubs and bars are not as packed as they´ve been before. And the people are leaving earlier. No clue what´s happening...
So if you read this please remember: STUDENT LIFE IS IMPORTANT!!! IT´S NOT ALL ABOUT STUDYING AND ATTENDING COURSES!!! YOU HAVE TO ENJOY THIS PART OF YOUR LIFE! Thanks for listening ;)

And here are some pics of model students:




























And last but not last I got some nice plans for the next weeks.
First of all the U/AStA weekend is coming up. After that I gonna be in Berlin for a few days visiting Sophie (from Thailand). And maybe I even make it to Moskau to visit my old flatmate Felix...
So hopefully I have some more interesting stories for you soon!
Take care!

It´s been a looooong, hard week

G`day mates... :)
Since I´m back and the semester started I did party a lot. Let´s just say: nothing changed :)
And again... some partypics...

Pforzheim

















































Stuttgart with Sophie and Lucie from Thailand






















Munich - Oktoberfest

Campus Festival - 28.09.07

Back home I went to Pforzheim for classes from Tuesday to Thursday. And I have to say, I didn´t miss it...
On Friday we had one of the biggest events in Pforzheim for the last 10 years - the Campus Festival.
I helped a little bit with the organisation and looked after two newcomer bands for the time of the festival. I´m pretty sure the bands are not really famous outside Germany but in Germany they are :)
We had a lot of stress but also a great day with great bands and fantastic people.

home again

My trip home was.. let´s say... one big desaster!
My flight with Mahan airlines should originally leave at 6.30 am. So I decided to save some money, take the last bus to the airport at 11 pm and just hang out there until I could check in. After a few boring hours at the airport I went to the check in point at 4 am. A man came up to me and asked me if I wanna go to Düsseldorf. As it turned out, Mahan Airline isn´t allowed to fly to Germany any more... So my flight was changed to an LTU flight at 11.35 am. Great...
On the one hand I was glad to fly home with LTU (better service, better food, better secrurity), on the other hand that meant 12 hours at the airport...
In the end.... after a 12 hours trip to the Tiger Temple, 12 hours at the airport, 12 hours in the plane and another 5 hours in the train, I finally arrived in Pforzheim...
Did I mention that I had to carry 30 kilos?!?! :)
But now I´m home again...

one night in Bangkok

After the trekking trip I spent two exhausting days in busses to get back to Bangkok. Back in Thailand I went shopping for one day and made a trip to the floating markets, the River Kwai (I haven´t even seen the movie by now... shame on me) and to the Tiger Temples. But have a look yourself...

Trekking Trip Ban Lung

Once upon a time 2 Germans (Martina and me), 1 Austrian guy (Gex), 1 Tirolean (that looks so funny... - Berti) and a Dutch couple (Oli and Marte) decided to play Tarzan and Jane and have a real adventure for 3 days in the jungle. Our guide was a Khmer guy from the guesthouse and we also had a ranger who showed us the way.

Day 1

The first day we walked for about 5 hours and made breaks at 2 small rivers. Duriung the day we've seen some wild growing cucumbers... but that's been it with "wild animals". At the end of the day we arrived in our "camp" where we put up our hammocks, went for a swim, cocked rice with vegetables and drunk tiger wine.

We also put up a fishing net in order to have something for breakfast the next morning :)
During the night I really froze my ass off! I never ever expected it to get that cold in the dschungel! Unfortunatly I got a cold and I probably gonna take it home with me...

Day 2

After a restless night we got up the next morning and we actually caught a snake and some fish in our net! So we had bread with omlette, rice, fish and snake for breakfast! *yam*

Later on we walked to a Minority Village - our second over night stopp - where we've seen some really poor people. It was interesting to see how they life without electricity and what they do the whole day.













As soon as we arrived the whole village was around us. In SVAY life around 30 families. Each family has around 6 to 8 children... But actually, what else do you wanna do without television :)

In the evening we could chose our dinner. Pig or chicken. First we wanted to get a pig, but unfortunatly the owner was to drunk to sell the pig (another thing you do the whole day in a village... drink ricewine). So we got a chicken. And than we had to kill it in order to eat it... I didn't do it. I couldn't even look. But Oli was brave enough to cut the chicken's troat. They didn' just cut it off in one, the did it slowly because they wanted to get the blood.

So while the chicken got broiled over the fireplace we had a soup with the giblets and the blood. I just tried blood, a piece of the neck and lever.











Day 3

The last day - after 5 hours of walking - we arrived happy in our guesthouse and took a hot shower.
