FAQ

Hello again! Today I would like to relate to my original motivation for starting that blog, namely not to answer the same questions five times. So here's a little FQA ;)

How are you?

I'm really fine! THX! Or as we're used to say here: "Tack!". After a somehow unlucky start I feel great and look forward to a good time here - I just hope my studies will be good, too!

Where is your baggage?

After exactly one week and endless disscussions and calls with the airport ground company and the airline in Germany (while it was easier and cheaper (!) to call the Hotline in Germany) I got my baggage back - delivered directly to my room. And that just 2 hours after I moved into my new home. Sure, I had to buy towels, underwear and so on (except the things that were left in my whashing bag :) and allready was preapered to buy new clothes but the good think was, that I have not carried my bag any single meter since my check-in in Munich. Nevertheless I will try to get some compensation... ;)

Where do you live?

The area is called Flamman - just like the very nice club here. But sometimes it's not nice at all that this club lies only 30 meters in front of my big window. And it's even less nice when some drunk bastards are still "overmotivated" after the party is over and sing - em bawl - in front of my window on the grond floor: some impressions to come soon...

How are the swedish girls?

Em, that's in fact a hot question... Generally they seem to fit the prejudices quite well: blond, blond and (sometimes faked) blond

How is Sweden?

Actually I didn't get around in Sweden that much (shame on me) because of the numerious events and ERASMUS parties here. But somewho it seemed more important to me to get to know some people and there are allready big road trips planed...

Why there are no pictures on your blog?

Well, some photos would definitely make this blog much more pretty. Unfortunatelly I dont't have a cam yet. But good news: Today I ordered a new mobilephone with a quite good camera. It took me quite long to choose one - I just love playing around with all the useless gimmicks :) Actually I wanted to buy just a simple cam, but have some bad experience with my digital cameras (but that's another story). Besides I needed WiFi so I prefered a phone...

How do you communicate with the people there?

All people I met here speak english - so that's not really a problem to get along here!

What are you doing all the time there?

No matter what you want to do, you almost always have to take a number and to queue! (sometimes you even must take a number to take a number!) - "Welcome to Queueland!" Hense I defenetly spend a lot of time in the queues here! Swedish people are crazy about queueing! My second hobby is paying! Yes! Sweden is very expensive! Sometimes we make some sports here, go the the sauna or have a good time in the clubs here. But in the moment I spend almost all my time to plan a big trip to Stockholm and Göteborg with my family who is arriving in Stockholm this week...

How is the University?

I would say quite well organized though there are are these never-ending queues. Of course! They just love them! A little difference to the german system but in my opinion one with a big impact on communication is the 15 minutes break between the two 45min-lectures. Generally the level of education is similar to Germany but I think that the tempo in classes is faster at TU Munich (elite university ;). A very strange thing here are the "gangs". Every faculty here has a special dress. It's an overall that they wear on partys and that is supposed never to be washed! On each event there are special buttons that you glue or stitsh on your overall. And there is even a special overall for the ERASMUS-Students! (Please wait for the cam ;)
