I'm back to Germany and back to blogging. Don't know how often I will update my blog over here, but I'll try to do it twice a month. That should be realistic. Maybe more often when I got my camera repaired and feel like it. Right now I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive and got back safely - with two suitcases weighing 33kg and 21kg and without paying anything although flying with Airlines like AirFrance and AeroSur. Thank you Lord! I only had some trouble at the airport in Cochabamba since AeroSur said TAM didn't pay for my seat; they had just reserved one in the business class. Until that problem could be solved (long and exciting story...), my original plane had left (and my chance of a business class flight...) but I made it just on time for the next and last plane that day. Grasping for air, I was just thankful for God's help. Since there was no time in the end, they didn't even complain about the 33!!!kg again. Even with TAM, I only had 2 pieces of 23kg for free. After calming down, I just selpt on all my 5 flights. I tried to read something ONCE, but gave up after 15min or even less. I missed "food time" twice and didn't count how often I missed the drinks. I was too exhausted.I touched German ground on Thursday evening. My grandparents were at our house and my Grandpa even came to the airport with my Dad and my sister (see pic, "Who has the most intensive suntan?"). It was great to see my family again! Still haven't met my brother though, but we talked on the phone for about an hour just 2 days ago. Without them, I might not have come back... =) Well, on Friday I went to sign my contract at work and on Sunday I already started to work. Since that day, not too much exciting stuff has happened. I worked a lot (118 hours til yesterday to be exact) and only took some days off for a friend (and faithful blog reader) who came to visit me before going on a 4-week-800km-hike through France and Spain and another one's wedding. The one is still walking and I hope the other one is still happy with his wife!
Today, I started a new adventure called "practical training". It's a mandatory part for my teacher's degree and it's actually not that bad. Since I'm tired though, I'll write about that on Friday.
Happy Thursday!
