Weather, Food + Internet
Weather: After my first day to the university I immediately started feeling a cold coming up- seems the climate is really something to adapt to. The first days were cloudy and much like the weather back in Bielefeld, but today we had blue sky, with temperatures falling below zero again and a bit of snow falling on the way home.
Food: At lunchtime, I had to face the problem of getting food in the University for the first time- the on-campus food is apparently really bad and everyone brings their own food or goes to a restaurant. On Wednesdays (my first day), the SRL group orders Thai food from "Cuisine Bangkok" (yum!). The only one really nearby is a Libanese fast food shop, so I went there and had couscous with vegetables- yum. This will burn my money fast, I fear.
Internet: The long way home:
