Forum Table Butterfly Leaf The year two thousand nine

I remember, after which I had to return to Germany to work. At that time all PhD students working in a large office with several writers and computers. The place was not so bad, but relatively pleasant wave. Well, we were all Germans except for an Austrian (who regard the personal attitude is not something very different in the moments that you try to meet new people.)
The location of our office was not very good, it was behind the Central Station Heidelberg in a sector where there was not much more than offices. Then, in late spring we would change the historic center of the ciudad where we take a set of several offices a half block from the so-called Universitätsplatz around which is the vast majority of typical career-related faculties of letters as history or philosophy. On the north side of the plaza runs the main street of the historic center that most of its length is a pedestrian area full of shops, cafes, bars and cinemas, among others. There I feel much more comfortable, because now I have an incredible deal when it comes to choosing a place to have lunch or a coffee, and also share my office with a single colleague, so that any forma me feel really I have a job instead of remaining a student.


In late March, the time had come where Wonder Woman came to live with me in Germany. I had lived since December in a shared apartment with other students who also was in the historic center. As occupying two parts in this department, Wonder Woman could not live with me there, although it soon began to think about changes of address, because the department had a couple of disadvantages: 1) there was living, 2) the bathroom was too small shit, 3) the kitchen had no bell and in addition & aacute; s was small, 4) had no washing machine or even a place to install it, if we had the money to get one, 5) of the two people who lived with me the first one was a German girl little shit head well Cuatic, and the second was a French pig often not even greeted. Against these five bad points were only two positives: 1) the beautiful view of the river, 2) location in the historic center. The pure relationship of five to two, and says something, but also one has to consider that the beautiful view of the river does not serve much to one, when all the dept is passed Franc smelly cheeseia, and good location was not good enough to be more up near a laundromat.

the end we were loading the theme of having to wear clothes I do not know how many blocks to wash and spend about 12 euros for it every week, it's the lack of adequate space to share a dinner party and dirt left by the filthy French and German crazy in the kitchen and bathroom. So we started looking for alternatives. Can not imagine how difficult it is to find an apartment in good condition, well located and moderately priced in Heidelberg. This city is clearly a problem in that regard. People just puban moved to Frankfurt. The owner of the department was willing to meet before offering it to other needy people like us. We meet in a cafe one day remaining in the central station of Heidelberg, he explained what was what was important to him (which was basically nothing more than to receive Silver lease provided in a timely manner), we try to make him understand that we considered their demands fully justified if it is not normal in the world, and we signed the contract that day to be all happy.

We moved into our new home in mid-August. It was a day very calor, which made the job a little harder than it already was, as we had to carry not only our clothes and my books (I have had enough), but also my furniture. To that end I rented a small truck that ended up not completing a full once again halfway with such furniture and a pile of boxes containing our personal belongings. Luckily we had the invaluable help of our friends Gela, Arne, Dewey and Nancy spent really helping, for not retreating from any of the good things they had to carry heavy. It was hard work, but could regain strength, pausing on the terrace of ources was the best part of the day because we were there near the Waidsee: a wonderful lake that evening even more wonderful, because we could refresh and rest perfect way slacking a little bit on the grass. We returned to our new apartment, where we met with all boxes and furniture that we brought there scattered everywhere, so that almost no space left anywhere. Just felt like we start to sort and I remember that on that day and we set the bedroom and part of living. But apart from the same sort were more to be done such as painting walls or installing some new lamps.many of the personalities of them. Anyway, I do not think that would have gone well in our department in Heidelberg, soil opt for things more cheerful. We returned to

wonder woman and my father in Frankfurt on 30 September, after which I was not even a week in Heidelberg, because I went traveling again, this time to Italy, because I had to review the Historical Archives of the Franciscan order, the Vatican Secret Archives and the Historical Archives of Propaganda Fide. " All were in Rome, where I did not get by the most direct route, because at the time of booking, I had to opt for cheaper, quand proved to be one of Air France, Paris manerq I went through. A huge Guevea to my taste, even more tired today with security controls, but it was what I got no more. I will not complain either, because I had the opportunity to see Rome again I loved it. He had already visited in 1999 on a trip we made with the kind of school that was pretty good, because our teacher had set up to achieve very good guides for us to know the city well or at least what can be known in ten days. This time was different, because I did not have much time to go for a walk, but the times that I could doNCY it was a great multicultural party where most of the people were or Germany (the homeland of it) or Senegal (the homeland of it) or Italy (the country where they had met) . We had a super good and we were very happy for the invitation, since we met not long ago at Heidelberg in a kind of sauce that he had begun to give as a teacher. From the beginning they were super cool with us and invited us a couple of times to go dancing with them, even at Mannheim and Schwetzingen, where we had to bring in the car. And, as already mentioned, gave us invaluable help when we moved house. Ta
opening ceremony coincided with the October 31, or with Halloween, a reason that led us to ask our guests to appear in disguise. The party was a total success. Wonder Woman and I had prepared some things to eat and the guests brought enough beer, wine and other drinks. Many people came and danced a lot in our living up to plus or minus two-thirty in the morning. I think about at that time did most of the people and were few people who helped us finish off the rest of the food that was left. Unfortunately, they could not come Arne and Gela, because they were on vacationin Madeira, but I must confess I had not canceled my vacation to Madeira to attend this event.

Other friends that we saw on that occasion were Cheila and Sven. But we forgive those two as well, because they live farther away. Cheila lives in Paris, but we had the opportunity to meet her in April, when she was traveling with a friend in northern Germany via Berlin as well, where we met during the same Wonder Woman days. And Sven, a German friend of ours, we went to visit in June in Munich where he had settled for work with his girlfriend. We strolled Musmärkte fairs are a maso last four weeks ending just before 24 December. Normally offered in these fairs are many things that the Germans usually eat and drink for the holiday date. One of the most important is probably the Glühwein that closely resembles the wine sailed in Chile and everything necessary to withstand the cold winter is coming on that date. You can sell crafts and there are some games for children. I liked that Wonder Woman was with me at that time, because I wanted to look like it was Christmas here in Germany. We spent a couple of times by the Weihnachtsmarkt Heidelberg and enjoyWe of different things to eat and drink.

For Christmas we were in Bad Schwalbach: 24 in my father's house where we were served fed meal and fine wines (which brought the ex-brother of the wife of my father), and 25 were in the house my mother where she also ate too rich. The 26 went for eleven to the house of the sister of my mother's husband. In total there were days of great food and rest, at least for Wonder Woman and me because we had not prepared any food. The same December 26th we returned to our department in Heidelberg, 27 I do not remember who did, and 28 pass through en route to Frankfurt airport because we had found a cat marginallyou; logo of a furniture store that just that day would have a couple of offers, and as Wonder Woman loves visiting such stores, we spent the afternoon there, before we were at the airport where the flight would leave at night.

I returned to Heidelberg and the next day and went back to Bad Schwalbach for a night shift that I had to do at Villa Lilly, the little town where people can farmocodependentes therapy and where almost ten years ago I did my social service. I make these shifts for nearly seven years, three or four times each month, with long pauses in between because of my long stay in Chile, and mostnte re nice new (tired most of the people mentioned in this text) and because I loved being a new home with Wonder Woman.
