Meeting with our apprenticeship leader
Meeting with our apprenticeship leader
Today, I went as usual to my workplace. I continued with my project from the last week and meanwhile when I was programming, a colleague told me that my teachers were here. I followed him to a meeting room. In the meeting room were Mrs Banach, Mr Gierschner and Mr Bavar. We had a talk about my workplace and about the current situation.
Mid placement meeting with interneurope
Today is the first day of the second half of our internship in Belfast. A whole month has gone by like a flash. It didn’t feel that long if I’m honest. Everything has become a bit quieter than in the first weeks. We have settled in and everything is getting more routine. So also at work. „Mid placement meeting with interneurope“ weiterlesen
A Night on the Town
This Saturday Nickolas, Steven, and I decided we would spend the night out exploring the city. I woke up pretty late, and at approximately 9 I made my way to Catford to pick them up.
London at Night
Steven and my initial plan on Saturday was to go to the Camden Market together with Artin who unfortunately slept until 6 PM and so we were not able to do that because the market closes at 6 PM. And so Steven and I spent the day relaxing at home watching videos and playing some games until Artin came to our place from where we then took the train to Charring Cross.

A guide on stores in Belfast
TESCO
These stores are most common in Belfast and you can find them at many streets. Be aware that there is a difference between „Tesco superstore“ and „Tesco express“. „A guide on stores in Belfast“ weiterlesen
Another Work Week
Last week Nickolas and I had more work to do. Beginning on Tuesday, because Monday was a bank holiday, we started the task of converting a Microsoft Access Database into an Excel document. Being quite tedious, this took us both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Review of the fourth week
In germany we have the term „Bergfest“. That means that you are half through through something, that often takes a long time. So yesterday was Bergfest and we have 4 weeks left to go.
At this point, most of the magic is gone and a lot of things have become routine. For example, grocery shopping. After four weeks we know exactly where to get our food and where its the cheapest.
On thing that im most excited about in the upcoming weeks is the big „Game of Thrones“ tour. The tour will envolve a full busride around the Island, so we have the oppertunity to see a lot of Northern Ireland and especially the beautiful coasts. Furthermore since im a big fan of the series it will be interesting to see the filming locations in reality.
Hello Oxford Street | £500???
Today I went early to the Oxford Street. I had a quick breakfast, then we cleaned up our room shortly that our host mother could hover the floor.
After the morning routine I went directly out and got there by bus. It took me about 2 hours to get there and with train I would need around 1 hour but I saved every month around 100€. So of course it’s better sleeping one hour less and going there by bus.
As I arrived there I had a crazy idea. I went to every famous store and asked just for a bag (Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Apple, Nike, Adidas and so on). Apparently they weren’t allowed to give me one because I had to buy something first.
Getting ready – a procedure
After booking tickets for theatre when it was about eleven I was ready to prepare myself. But I did not aim to prepare for a usual city discovery and pack my rucksack. Not that I felt too lazy or did not want to go outside. Conversely it was beyond all question for me to go outside to enjoy it even more or at least high-contrastly. Because it became my first time to go running during my stay here. And embarrassingly it was going to be the first time for me here to do sports in general.
After preparation including drinking, clothing and announcement to my host family or rather their daughter and whatever it had become 11:35 and I was putting my shoes on. I was about to leave when I realized that my key chain was not with me. I began to message Pascal knowing that he would not hear me knocking on the door due to his silence head phones. While writing this entry I am realizing that I could have called him actually. How strange that you sometimes forget such manifest things. Luckily, however, my host brother was on his way to leave our room while I was texting him, anyhow. So I knocked saying his name and that was the way it worked out. After getting my key and going to the restroom I said to Miya, our host family’s daughter laughing: „Now I am really ready to go walking.“ Because before she said „I thought you wanted to go running“.
