Working class

well, as you may surely know - at least i hope you belong to these kind of people - almost every student has to have (at least) a job to make ends meet.
i belong to that group of students as well!


And as it is, common student's jobs are not really "good" jobs, nor do they bring much qualifying skills for you, since i would not say, that when i will apply for a job, i might remark on my abbility to envelope many letters within an hour... What do you think?

Patters in the night...

Shhh! Did you hear that? Patters at night, the opening of the fridge and silent rustling and munching, mostly between 2 and 6 am? And my boyfriend heard it too...
First i thought it were a sound from the streets. Then i got the hang of it: there must be something or someone in my kitchen. After all, in the morning i always found crumbs and empty packages of chocolate, biscuits, milk and juice... Maybe a somnambulant? Or even a stowaway?


But most recently i found the solution to the riddle:
I got up at night after hearing the special sounds in the kitchen! And there i found it/him, my racoon! I simply got a racoon in our flat without knowing it - although my boyfriend and me always had certain suspicions...


(Here you can see the photographic evidence)

Mediaeval sounds in the castle

OMG, it's been already by the end of july that we went to the concert of the band Faun which was to take place in the beautiful little castle of Amerang, somewhere in Bavaria close to Rosenheim. Since we knew that the stage ought to be in the courtyard of the castle which itself was actually open (as you see), only covered by an awning, we hoped for good weather...



In fact the weather was perfect with a bright full moon - which i was unable to take a photo of in lack of a camera that's fit for that. The castle itself was beautiful as well, tiny though but very romantic lit by candels *sighing* - and one can rent it for weddings as well... *smile*


when i have grown, i want to have a castle myself!
waiting for my personal prince charming...



...oh yes, there he is! well, let's go for the concert:


Oliver SaTyr, the leader of Faun, was very good mood this evening!



Faun in action.
I was very pleased because this time they were playing again after a while an unplugged concert without all that electronic stuff. It's not that i don't like that, but the thing is that i like both styles and i always found that the unplugged part of their repertoire was rather small in their concerts.
Now i'm really satisfied with them and it was a great evening with beautiful music in a beautiful ambience.

Scandinavia Part III: Helsinki & Tallinn

Finally i will post the last pictures of my trip to the north! (Please can i have some rataplan!)
And yes, surely Tallinn is in Estonia and doesn't belong to Scandinavia, but we simply took the ferry from Helsinki - which is Helsingfors in Swedish, which sounds actually much cooler - to visit Tallinn for a quick spree!


Helsinki is cool: a mixture of old/historic buildings (culture, OMG!) and a young lively city at the same time!


i simply fell for its market hall:


Helsinki is a real culinary treasure chest! at the end of the day, i really felt quite a stomache ache from eating too much... O;)


one can make out clear russian influence all over the town, but this multicultural touch is what makes the particular flair of Helsinki!



On the second day we chose to take a trip...


ok... not such a bad trip, please!


well, not such a slow trip! we need to go fast...!


..to Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia.



i even found the door that fits my dress *ggg*:


well, and this is goodbye now to northern europe and to this chapter in my blog!


farewell to our gorgeous youth hostel... and goodbye to it all! thanks for having us! ;)
