The story of my life in China is here.

Ready to Go

TripIt found out that we’re going to fly aboard a Boeing 737-800, Google got the route and I made a reservation for a parking lot so everything’s prepared for our trip to Stockholm.

Knut

Preparing for our trip to Stockholm a friend and I ate at IKEA. The man at the table next to us had a yellow toothpick flag in his meat. The text – “Knut” – was quite funny though it was refering to St. Knut’s Day, not the famous polar bear.

Last Winter

Two shots of what’s most likely to be my last winter in Freising.

More Infos at the Internet Movie Database, a trailer can be found at YouTube.

Ubuntu and the Aliens

Safe an Alien developer Roy Man wrote that my download problems are caused by “problems with image uploads” on Ubuntu. According to him the matter will be fixed in the next version.

Eat the Dog

I’m allergic and that stupid critter distributes its hair all over the house. :(

Santa in Shanghai

NORAD just tracked Santa in Shanghai:

Now he’s in Kowloon.

Win Win

I think one of my problems is that I have a conscience. But hey, it’s Christmas. Anyone interested?

John Deere

One or two years after a guy at a party said that everyone should have a John Deere, I had the chance to ride one. :)

Clever Use

Hooray, lifehacker shows us how to open a letter with a pen. Who would have thought this was possible? Watch out for the next episodes about how to do it using a key or, highly audacious, a finger.

Water Works

Unlike Nanx I was only two hours without water and it was because of renovation works two floors below. But I don’t think that in her case a worker appeared every thirty minutes to look whether the water is finally turned off or to tell that from now on the drain mustn’t be used as well. And I had planned not to stand up until they’re done.

Update: Arrg, there’s no hot water anymore. The best I get is lukewarm. :(

Sorcerers' Stove

I really thought it wasn’t even possible for our cafeteria to mess up gnocchi with tomato sauce. Mistake. They burned the sauce.

Jan in Germany

Jan made a detour back home and told me interesting stories about the life in China…. You can find some of them in his blog.
