After just sly over a week it is time to recall what was good, what was bad and what was new.

DocuLand
In the morning I finished the bread I had bought last week. We met at our agency. An employee did the formalities with us. Then, we were introduced to our work placement in London. I got a sheet with information about the company I was allocated. For the afternoon, there was an interview scheduled. „DocuLand“ weiterlesen
A Very Calm Easter Weekend
The weekend didn’t start as I thought I would because I started to feel bad at Wednesday evening and over the night it got worse. At the morning I knew I caught a cold and that I need some resting time so after my language course and a short trip to the coffee shop Avocado & Coffee I decided to go home and take a rest and to work against my sickness. „A Very Calm Easter Weekend“ weiterlesen
Finally, we got our jobs!
Today we went at 11am to the Twin School. We met there the leader of all the Internships. We had a conversation about our Internships (where we will go and what are we going to do). I got my Internship directly at the Twin School. They told me that I will have a job interview in the next morning at 10am.
One sunny day in Belfast
Monday was a long day for us. Together with Stefanie and Max we decided to do some sightseeing at „Belfast Castle“ and „Cave Hill“.
It was a prefect, sunny day to do so. Our trip started at Ormeau Road at around 1pm by ordering 2 cabs for us 6 people, because taking the bus would be more expensive since not everyone has a subscription with translink.
Cave Hill
Yesterday we went for belfast castle and cave hill. After we had a look at the castle and the beautiful garden. Robert , Andy ,Florian and me decided to go for the top of Mc Arts Fort. The way up was quiet exhausting but the view was worth it. After we enjoyed the view for a while we made our way down, which was steeper than the ascent. When we arrived home completely exhausted, watched a movie and went to bed.
Easter Bank Holiday
English class was over, we got a certificate for attending these classes and so the bank holiday started. Right after school me, Artin and Steven went to Avocado & Coffee to get ourselves some sandwiches. Because Steven didn’t feel too good we took the bus home. After we dropped of Steven at our place me and Artin headed to the nearest pub „The Ninth Life“ where I had a Guinness and Artin had a cappuccino. „Easter Bank Holiday“ weiterlesen
The easter weekend
I used this long weekend to explore a few more shopping options including: drug-stores, groceries, restaurants, pubs and kiosks, but also to find out about a few laws that differ from things I am used to in Germany, for example: decibel regulations for motorcycle exhausts which seem to allow notably louder exhaust systems to be used (sources vary in exact numbers but from what I gathered Germany allows for around 75 decibels, while the UK allows for around 85 decibels).
With these days being holidays i of course also used the time for myself.
Fiddling around with my single board computers (RockPro64 and Rock64) gave enough to do (it seems I still need a new power supply for the Rock64).
Searching for 9 cats
Today we went to Belfast castle. There we first had a look at the building and learned that 9 cat pictures are hidden in the garden. After a long search and finding out that one of our colleagues was sitting on the last one, we finally found all of them. This cat was embedded in the seat of a bench as an image. Then we climbed up the mountain and enjoyed the wonderful view.
Time to explore the rich world
Today I decided to go to the “Harrods”, it’s one of the biggest and one of the most expensive shopping malls in London. After an amazing bus trip, over 2 hours, I arrived there. When I went inside I just saw expensive designer clothes and expensive accessories. Some of them looked very cool, but when I looked at the price and decided that just looking at them is enough. In every shop is a helper who can advise you for the product. I’m an IT student so of course I also went to the Tech area. There was also a part with Amazon & Google Products. The funny part was „Time to explore the rich world“ weiterlesen
