Anders Ereignis von die ersten Woche :)

This is what i ate for breakfast on one of the schooldays. Super Salty Salmon Sandwich. Schmeckt Sehr Salzig! Tried it out of curiousity and it's the most disgusting tasting salmon i nvr tried! Nevertheless i got immuned to the saltiness after a while and finished all the fish. -_- oh, there's another type of fish that they serve..it's grey and super sour! but that's more edible than the salmon so i didnt take a pic to post and complain.

We decided to take pictures around TUD one fine day too..haha

Brenda me winnie and wenjun in front of State Archives Museum.This is where we always meet for school excursions and where bren and i discovered we can use the toilets for free! :)

(we usually hafta pay 30/50 euro cents for public toilets)

Posing in front of the schloss-museum

Markt-platz.
The open air market place where fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers are sold. Summer is also the season of strawberries and White Asparagus, and we got to see many stalls selling those 2 products only. Strawberries are pretty cheap but white asparagus arent :(

Brenda and me near Luisen Platz.

A Brewery in Darmstadt, where i first tried german beer!

Cheers! :)
And no.. i am not capable of finishing a whole mug by myself. Bren wn wj zl and i shared a few cups and when the girls turned red, we pushed all the cups to onkel zolin. muahaha.

On Saturday, Gulustan brought wn zl bren and me ard Darmstadt. She's always like a walking history textbook, explaining the significance of buildings and streets to us along the way. :)A bakery in a building with nice architecture.

Hundred Water House--Waldspirale. The very first hwh is in Vienna though, and its distinctive features are the multitude of colours, non linearity and different designs of windows. Coincidentally wj and i had to do a project on architecture in Germany and we presented on the Waldspirale too :)

Note the curvy lines on the building..

And windows of different designs

We visited the Woog in Darmstadt too. A Macritchie-looking lake where people can swim in, if they do not mind the cold water and company of fishes, algae, tortoise waste, etc. Didnt take any pictures cuz it simply looks like Macritchie..

Gulustan is an antique lover and was exhilarated to stumble upon an abandoned old radio. Unfortunately she didnt drive that day and was unable to bring that radio home...hahas.

Sunday was rather boring:( The rest of the grp went to Heidelberg together, but Bren and i didnt join them as gulustan had planned to bring us there on another weekend. It didnt help that shopping centres are closed on sundays, so we were almost bored to tears. :(

Started the day by heading down to TUD, with the intention of using the computers in the computer centre. Unfortunately it was closed too! I made a wrong prediction of the weather and wore jeans, which worsened my rashes in the warm weather. That totally dampened my mood and i didnt feel like going anywhere, so bren and i walked arnd Darmstadt aimlessly...and to our delight, we found an internet cafe at some corner of the luisen central! hahaha. We used the internet for 1hr and left the cafe feeling damn happy! hahas we are hopeless slaves to technology, arent we?

It was still early when we were done with using the computers and we decided to check out some Oberwald Park in the vicinity after some deliberation ..or rather, much deliberation. Which i am very glad we decided to eventually, cuz the cooling air and greenery were therapeutic(maybe cuz it was late afternoon by then) and i got to see many, many CUTE KIDS!! :)

Damn cuteee!

Families relaxing on the grass.

Boating. There were other activities going on, eg mini golf, tennis, and even barbecue on Sats, acc to gulustan. Seems like many Germans spend their weekends rather healthily since they exercise and spend family time close to Nature? It's a plus pt considering all the common vices of smoking, excess drinking of beer ( i use excess to defend the small amt of beer that i consume :D) and frequent huge portions of fatty meat in their diet.

But... HAIS. Guess what we found beside a restaurant in the park? A CIGARETTES VENDING MACHINE. What's up with dispensing condoms and cigarettes so freely in Germany? On another occasion when bren and i were on S-bahn 8, bren witnessed a young boy buying cigarettes from such a vending machine along the street...
