Final Semester IX

To make a stright connection to the picture: I went skiing in Scuol last weekend. As Saturday was supposed to be a beautiful day, we already left for Kai's flat in St. Gallen on Friday evening. The next morning we got up very early and drove to Landquart by car. There we waited for Thomas and Sandra, who came from Zurich by train. In Scuol we had perfect blue sky and almost no one was on the slope, so we never had to wait to get on the cable car. Every now and then we stopped for a hot chocolate and tanned our skin in a sunlounger. On Sunday, the weather was not that good anymore, so we already left soon after lunch. But still, it was a great weekend up there in the mountains.
Now, let's get back to New Year's Eve. I invited Peter and Marie for dinner at my place. Actually Thomas and Sandra were also supposed to come, but the flu upset their plans. It was a nice and funny evening, also when we went to town after dinner.
Apart of learning, I bought some books, some old classics, like Ulysses by James Joyce or To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. And to get my mind free, I also met friends for a nice dinner with a glass of wine or just for a drink in a bar, of which I can recommend 0815 (Lintheschergasse 23) or Amber (Bahnhofquai 15).

Final Semester VIII

I'm very sorry for my delay. I was learning day and night for the last few exams, but still I have two left. However, the effort was worth it, as I already got some marks and I'm pretty satisfied. So what did I do besides learning? Can't be much since I don't remember anything of importance.
Oh, still, I booked holidays in February. More precisely, I booked quite a few flights. The first one with Emirates will take us to Dubai and then to Singapore. We'll spend some days in the island city-state and then board a Tiger Airways machine to get to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, formerly known as Saigon. From there, another flight will bring us to Da Nang in the middle of Vietnam right on the coast of the South China Sea. After visiting this city as well as the former capital Hue, we'll take the train to get to Hanoi in the North. There we will visit the famous Halong Bay, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then we'll heading back for Singapore, but only for a few hours, since we then take a flight to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. As far as I heard it should be a beautiful city. So I'm curious. And on top of all, I'm longing for sun and summer temperatures!

So I guess that's enough for now, what I did beside that you got to know in the next post.
