Kitchen Ventilationpipes

La Laguna last night

from my life here, there's nothing to report excessive degree exciting. I write at my house work and do things for the university here.

was but I have just briefly on the roof to give me a firework at the other end of town to look times and saw some pictures. While not the fireworks themselves, but I was too late, but the nighttime view from here.





On occasion I will make time during the day images.

Can You Use Furniture Polish On A Car

So it begins

vacation is over, now begins the serious side of life. Since Monday I have uni and do well all right. I am sitting now in the university while I type (because here I somehow can not access network's, but not when I send the article). Here min is determined for 15th a library management in the hall and in the babble, I can not concentrate on's reading, so I repeat here again for a bit.
I have just not really sure where I stopped to tell. I think at the concert Friday, where I've met Montse and Satur. With the two I then met again on Saturday in the Plaza del Cristo, where a rock concert was held. The bands, all of which tended to be more punk, were all but not really my thing, but the evening was still very nice, because I am a bit with the two and still could entertain friends about them. On the way home I noticed even then aware of how divergent are the temperatures here in part. The concert was so directly in La Laguna and when we left around 2 clock around, it was still very cold long pants and jacket (yes, can you Freeze in Tenerife!), with me in the corner (half way between La Laguna and Santa Cruz) I should have then held out well without a jacket. Between La Laguna and Santa Cruz are the temperatures like to differ by up to 5-6 ° C, the fact that La Laguna is so high. For the rest, here predicts a very summery autumn, when the summer was probably totally rained out.
Sunday I was the first ever time on the beach where you could but not really into the sea, but actually could only swim in two pools created. Totally stupid, because I'm not moving out again determined. 'Nen sunburn I got myself anyway, and bored to death, I am also after one hour. I'm just not a person who is can wallow for hours in the sun. From the book that a friend gave me a farewell, I have read there a good quarter. But do not get me wrong, the sea was beautiful. Looky?


And then started already at the part with the University. First we (ie Nikola and me) terribly confused, because we did not find the room from the first seminar. found to 2.5.1 it would be, but we have only a 2.5, but did not look as if held there, which, since it was built in the room. We then really needed a while to figure out that the rooms are usually divided into two and then stop as 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 are, but this is nowhere turn. One can So choose well actually own pleasure, even after what is now the .1 and what is .2. (Ahhh, the group moves on. Come on, get out of here. * G *) has since then out put however, that the price with another overlap, we are then to the Erasmus coordinator of Philology and have geplärrt to help with curriculum. As the coordinator, however, the specifications for North American issues and we could not therefore recommend any courses, he sent us to "Sweetheart". "Honey" is the Dean of the Institute, has long hair and wears jeans Very used. Very cute. He then quite a lot of time for us, went through the student plan, which would make sense for us and find out which rooms are and stuff. He was our real hero of the day and therefore has now internally nicknamed "Honey". We'll also be a course in "Honey". :) The teachers are now all very friendly and helpful. I hope it stays that way. I was thinking at the beginning of the semester in Germany also thought about a teacher who then considered the largest A **** on God's great, has further exposed earth. But I'm optimistic. That one Spaniard in a course on the question, why does this course replied, "Because you are the teacher." yes true schonmal positive. (Ahhhh, beautiful peace: D)
What I'm pretty excited here, the Mensa. One can for € 3.88 a menu of soup, main course and dessert have or about 1.50 € -2.50 € a single main course. I recently had the comical combination of spring rolls with rice and French fries for 2.15 €. But you go to the cashier says, what you want, pay, get a receipt and sits down at a table. A pitcher of still water, you can take just so if you want. Arriving at the table, then a nice gentleman comes in a white shirt, took the receipt and come back some time later with the food. Delivery! : D The fact that the little ice cream for dessert, I have to find out more. The girl that sat opposite me had the spring rolls and as man times as a waiter came by with a few of the little ice packs, it can give one. To date, I thought it belonged only to the menu. that would be great cinema, if one can give that can truly just like that.

So, since now there is peace again I will focus once again the global TV formats. And then wait there's a 2-3 pages essay and two poetry analysis on me. Fortunately, not all day. :) But for the first week, I think you still have quite a bit. But well, am not on vacation here, right? ;)

2010 Pakistani Designer Clothes

Guillermo, Montse, Satur

are the names of the three Spaniards, who I have met here so far. Well, that's not 100%, because Guillermo is originally from Venezuela, but lives for 6 years in Tenerife. was
A few days looking at the Tenerife Erasmus Group of StudiVZ a German / English Language Exchange and as the appropriate profile looked very nice and showed up at their favorite band names like Metallica, Symphony X, I thought I try it simply times. Shape a bit similar interests are indeed conducive to a conversation well. So only a couple of mails exchanged and then taken on Thursday night for a beer. That's how I met Guillermo. And the evening I was also very nice. The talks were also expected as much about music, otherwise halt university, family, why semester abroad (he was once a year in Munich and can therefore also German (Which one observes in some moments a little bit, it was learned in Bavaria), what he wants to improve yes). The usual stuff. I just hope it works out, we meet occasionally. I still know how to still having a hard English, but I realize now, as I lose a little inhibition to speak English (or rumzudrucksen * g *).
Yesterday was then the concert, of which I recently saw the poster. Before I even met with Nikola and her two Italian roommates in the apartment and there eat delicious dinner and nice chat. Shortly after midnight, I set off down the path gene concert, which was just around the corner. After running in a circle and ask, I found the club then. 4 € incl one drink voucher is a very fair price. As already told Guillermo thought, however, is the box - this is the club - really quite bad for concerts. Very small and the stage is not really good view. Direct frontal from the front and then again from a kind of small side room from the left side. Who is the opinion then that the Knaack is a bad concert venue, please look at times like this photo.



When I arrived the first band played on, so popped from the first drink voucher for a beer and looking for a spot overlooking the stage. Between two songs, I was once very courageous and a man standing next to me have mentioned, what band it was because of what he knew but not well. We have then a bit we tried to entertain, but thanks to the combination of English and the volume has not really worked out. Hmph! The second band I was then a bit further forward and suddenly it zuppelte angle from the back of my Wacken ribbon and a girl said something to me, which I of course - have not seen once more - thanks to the combination of English and volume. They then showed, but on the wrist of type next to her on which also hung a ribbon's 2007 Wacken. Ahhhh, comprendo! Talk went first but not the same. Between two songs I once asked, what band would play for straight and after the show We came further into the conversation. The two, Montse and Satur were themselves twice in Wacken and this year at the Summer Breeze. We are still went to a bar drink. This was provided in very exciting, as that I first evening in the bar district was. Just before the histort town of La Laguna, there are some streets where many bars are. However, these are the only streets in the whole of northern Tenerife, where there are any (where the young people / students go out at night out), and accordingly it is fully there. The bars are up to the last place full and there are still many people with their drinks. And before Bars on the road to hell is going on. I can think of a degree no corner of Berlin, in the streets at night are just full. Most to the Hackescher Markt, because there the whole night bus lines converge. As I said, very exciting, but it is possible more or less the only entertainment option. And I must say old woman, to me it was almost too much. The music in the bars is so loud that one can have practically no longer possible and one must always stop by squeezing through the crowds. So it would appeal from time to time 'nen Theater Saturday night. For recreation. ;)
Montse and Satur were by car and because they live in Santa Cruz, they are driven up eh more or less at me and give me then taken away. Montse then mentioned that today was a concert at the Plaza del Cristo and we exchanged email addresses and we agreed before that. :)

The water problem has been solved incidentally. Thanks to "Krystal," the water with carbonic acid, but without taste. This is also the brand of me the other day said, was that it was better. I said yes: "If I had heard it." For all the

Decorate Tables With Tulle And Lights

The thing with the water's

's not know, I actually need to drink nothing but bottled water. But please carbonated. And there begins my problem. Here in the supermarket, there are large shelves full of bottled water. In 1.5 liter bottles, 2 liter bottles and in 5 liter cans. But all just still water. Since the tap water is not necessarily to drink, which in itself makes sense. Now, I used relatively indiscriminately on the first day the cheapest four-pack, I wanted to when the next water purchase decency looking even know if they have not hidden somewhere carbonated mineral water. And I even have found two varieties. A six-pack in each 36Cent per bottle, and one that is sold individually 72Cent per bottle. The lady I asked if that really was carbonated (the name "gaseosa" was the cheaper brand is suspect already), confirmed this but said also to me that the more expensive is probably better. Had I heard sometimes on it. Now I'm sitting here with six bottles of mineral water and carbonated lemon flavor! I do not like water with lemon flavor! * Shiver * That is because on it anywhere, why is there? But maybe you will also bear the words "Sin gluten, a secret code for" Con Limon ". Since when is actually gluten in water and gluten may have an anti-lemon taste, so that the water tastes like lemon, just because there is no gluten in it? Puzzle about puzzles.
Well, I've still got just under 5 months, either to find decent water or get used to still water. Because that to me is clearly better than this lemon stuff. After

Asking And Interviewing President Lincoln

now also.

I just upgraded from



on



and plugs for bath and sink (no, something there is nothing in this budget, but I want the pampered German) bought, I'm really slow enough money for this flat output.
I really must admit that I do not understand. It's one thing to spend a limited time here, but live permanently? It's not as if it were not for the things and they are not exorbitantly expensive. But a collapsed clothes horse is not replaced for weeks, in the hallway lights are not replaced, there are (or were) no pot holders, but not isolated Pot handles, a leaky irrigation will not be repaired, etc., etc. Am I really that spoiled? I would disturb it, and doeth it, too. Maybe it's also the fact that Maria is so little here. Wherever she is, I'm very much believe that it is as beautiful as here. She probably has the apartment only to exclude innocent exchange students. Well ... 5 months. 11 ° in Germany. * Bet * mantra * g *

DC I go to the bar 7, which is always Erasmus Wednesday evening. And tomorrow I am meeting with a potential language tandem partner who is on 80's Metal. :)

In good times and bad

No, do not worry, I did not suddenly married. There are just things which are good and some that's not. For example, I just
try to complete my schedule. There must be a little bit changed. The course catalog is somehow ... Well stupid. I found five courses that would qualify from the title question for me. In one, the pdf file is not available, so I exactly do not know anything about the course (except holding the title), was in a second told me that it takes place well before next semester, although in the "Autumn" - column gives and the other three times are not here, so I do not know whether there might overlap what. Joy! But I have

How To Differintiate Betwwen Hip And Backproblems

Fiesta del Cristo - Part 2

The Fiesta del Cristo is not a one-day festival, but is celebrated throughout the September and into October. This weekend, however, was the main weekend if I have understood correctly. Sunday morning I was so taken with Kasia, to give us the procession from City Hall to the church in the Plaza de la Concepción to look at. In this case go any important people of the city (including the Vice Rector of the university that has kept on the Welcome Day a speech) and representatives of the military (and some others I could all associate so real) accompanied by two bands from A to B . I once cobbled together a few images as they would individually rather boring.



Before the procession started, a couple of times was shot salute, which was really scary loud and cringe every time I left. So when these guys were running with their toys past us, it was also clear why.



The procession then went as I said to the Plaza de la Concepción, which - looks - his eyes light the sky.



I thought that was pretty cool, was that the church bells were rung in part by hand. Outside the church a little military-blah-blah Rumsalutier was organized, which has only attracted just frankly insane and eventually became a bore, and in between were ringing the bells from time to time. This sometimes arrhythmic and then by hand. That was something. (I like this a short video sequence, but after yesterday's me, yes the whole, the video has killed the following review, I will not post here now.)

Today was for me then a pretty revealing day. I have indeed mentioned already times, that I am with my living situation is not so particularly happy (and those who read my private blog, were allowed to listen to a lot more whining about it;)). Today I have however looked at a couple of apartments together with Nikola (she has no accommodation and yes currently lives in the hotel) and found, that the apartment and my room absolutely the local standard. The bathrooms were for the most part little better than mine here, but the rooms were sometimes smaller. There was even an apartment here, which showed that it is better, but I think the bulk corresponds to just what I have here. So I will arangieren with the apartment (I'm feeling even not so bad unwell, as in the beginning) and internalize that the phrase "When in Rome, do as the Romans" does not come from nowhere. ... Light in the corridor would still be great times, Mrs. Lessor.

Santa Cruz - Aeropuerto - Santa Cruz - Plaza del Cristo

That would be my day yesterday in abbreviated form. In the long run I'm
noon for the first time in Santa Cruz. My Nikola Komilitonin should arrive at 17:10 at the airport and as the bus south from Santa Cruz, I took the opportunity to have a look downtown for a spin. And that is also very very pretty. I'm only a little run through the shopping streets and have the ominous German bank looking at the one supposedly pays no vending fee. I have become even find it and if I may believe the Vormerkposten of online banking, I pay nothing for actually lifting off's. Woot! : D Then I think about me again namely the English with the account. I can also pay with my card free of charge and free of charge if I can get cash (and a bit like this can operate sightseeing), so this is not necessarily required. At least I have to do with me no stress. If the traveling is too stupid to me, I can still do so.
€ The first four of the freshly pulled money then I have invested in first breakfast in a small cafe. I should but my reluctance to eat in the apartment here soon drop again. In the long run could be costly. But where I'm not feeling well, I do not eat much. I also do not like to cook on gas. But as I said that I should wean myself.
went further then gene's port, look at big and small Schiffis. At one place was a pretty cool monument to include the two major male statues are wearing a helmet, holding a sword over and otherwise clad only with a leaf in front of the Blessed are. Is it really sexual harassment if I grab a statue at the bottom? * Giggle *



next target was the Auditorium, a rather interesting building that itzibisschen reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House and when I got that right, also acts as an opera. At least somewhere stood Opera. There I saw for the first time the sea really close. Were it not for the stones and the approximately 3-4m height difference, I would jump in straight times. But was great to finally see the big blue times.





kill After a bit of time in the Saturn, I rode the bus to the airport south. It takes about 50 min. and all the while going along the coast. :) Nicholas flight originally was supposed to arrive at 17:10 when I came into the hall, but was on the scoreboard by 17:30 the speech. It then changed over time yet to 17:18 and then 17:28. What have always held as above. Unfortunately, it's not reasonable to look runway, so I sometimes employed on the playground outside. * G * At some point Nikola then yes, but also because we are together again and drove to Santa Cruz. Since they have no home It's your first walked into the hotel, whose rooms are my high but pretty close. Only the bath is better. ;) Is next to the hotel bar or a cafe or something and there was a small street party organized, for which the street was even shut off. People sat at tables on the street, played guitar and sang. That was a pretty great atmosphere. We sat a bit in the hotel lobby, because it is only because wireless and have all the time heard the music. Schöön! : D



After Nikola got over the initial shock halfway, we went into the center of La Laguna. I had noticed, that on Sunday Fiesta del Christ is (a big holiday here, or even more of a celebration month), during the day but found out that take place at the start of the main festival in the Plaza del Cristo concerts. And it has to go there really even worth it. When we arrived, was just "Son 21" on the stage, a 21-member male choir and absolutely great cinema. I would like to show you even a short movies, but photobucket zickt time around again. Maybe later. We then got a night to celebrate Cuba Libre (which it really bad in itself was * g *) and have listened to the music. A really nice end of the day.





Addendum: Photobucket ago, it was noticed that I've uploaded something. So here is a small part of "Son 21". On the video, but everything that comes across not half as good as it actually was (and my camera when shooting in the dark seems a little Fokussierproblem), but an impression is gained already.

Click for video.

(Great, now has it killed me the rest of the review by the video ... I must not understand. So again, without embedded video ...)
around 23:45, we have gone in the back made. Unfortunately, that was a little bit early, as there were fireworks, which we heard from only by the Tranvíahaltestelle. But at least the car was still not so crowded. With the home was also the "I do not go out in the dark" off-spell. By the other way, I now return to the tram or take, that's a problem. Since the road is well lit and not as scary as the previous track.

Fresh Absolute Concealer

El Teide

The so-called "Fun Day" today was the volcano Teide.
meeting point was at 9 in the vicinity of the International Office, and then we went with three buses gene center of the island. Halfway up the Mirador (viewpoint) "Piedra la Rosa" there was then a small breakfast consisting of a Coke, an apple, a sandwiches (with ham, unfortunately, but I was not hungry yet anyway) and a little bit of pastry. Frisch was then strengthened the winding road down to the visitor center where we watched a short film about the creation of the Teide and the Canary Islands and schonmal could make a few first photos. And I am so absorbed in taking pictures that I have not heard that wegwaren suddenly all the people. So I quickly ran to the bus and a bit ashamed. But I would say in my defense, that certainly no longer than 2-3 min. be maintained because of me and had also announced the departure was not exactly great.
The next leg took us to about 2000m altitude at the foot of the volcano. There are some fascinating and famous to see rock formations and you could rumklettern a bit. And Foootos. Hach, was the first. I had to control myself totally to shoot 396.384x not the same, because it's me every time has been fascinated on 's New. I assume that once a selection of images to the end of this article.
On the way back we went for lunch in a restaurant. I was sitting here with Kasia from Poland (who was studying in Germany but I have already met in the International Office), Valentin from Bonn, and Klaus from Denmark to a table and we fabricated a shrewd mix of about 50% English, 30% Hispanic and 20% German. If you do not know how to go in English times, the rate was just completed in English. * G * The da are the three: (.. is Kasia but not anorexic, you is very slim, but not nearly as lean as it looks in the photo)




As on the way it was on the way back again very hazy, and we are just simply drove through the clouds. Here, the clouds were drifting So by the trees that it looked really mystical. I felt spontaneously to the scene from Ronja recalls, in which it is running in the fog through the forest and Birk pulls behind him. I hope this brings the following photo over at least halfway.



counter 18h we were back in La Laguna and all pretty groggy. On the way back I finally remembered to take pictures of the house where I live. The front and there in the third floor. And yes, the road is so narrow as it seems, if not even smaller. ;)

What Was Your First Period Like Brown

Another day, another entry

If yes else but still pretty long.

On Wednesday, I wanted to actually open an account first, but I could not quite decide which bank (I have here two very close) and also the queues were quite long. So I'm back again to the apartment and got there a mail with the opening times of the International Office. 10-13h, na as I go! Posted going on. So went back to Tranvía and La Trinidad. This time, the office also, and I am registered as an international student. Although again I had to fix to a photo shop, and I had no photo of it, but fortunately there was a few blocks away the same and so was not a problem. Since I have the necessary certificate for Enrolling had, I am again to the university where I got just before closing time just to get the enrollment form and a number waiting for the next day. The Spaniards are always totally numbers on waiting. At the meat counter at the supermarket, the bank or the International Office. You have to draw a waiting number. If it makes for schee. ;)
are in the vestibule of the library's a vending machine, which I find very cool. Because plums out the bottle not only easy, no, she is transported via arm and two outside flaps. I had to shoot straight times. * G *



Is not that great, because at the end as the lights go on? * G * (Yes, sometimes I'm too easily amused.) Also costs the most chilled mineral water 0.5 it only 55 cents. Fits.

was on the way back then - again - to the mall. This time I I got a prepaid card for mobile phones. The number's are in demand by SutdiVZ or with me.
Since the day I used to not have made so many pictures (or have burned up some schmählicherweise already in the review of Tuesday;)), today's optical Keep the fun for a panoramic photo I received on the way from university to the shopping center have.



evening I did have the room a bit (eg one of the already overdone photos) decorated. So overall a very productive day.

Today I am again the same morning to the university. I had some problems with the registration form. At our office, I then asked if I as maybe someone could help with and I fortunately got also a very nice lady. After a mishmash of English and English, she read on the already completed part of my German address form and began to speak German so well with me, I asked her if she was German. But was it not, but probably very happy to use their German times. Although I try to make as much as possible in English (which in itself also is not difficult, as you will not get far with English), but in this case I was quite happy when talking to understand what she says.
for 11h then was called the Welcome Day announced for the Erasmus students. So really what brought But it did not tell the truth, except that I've attached a couple of loose contacts. times come loose 80% of Erasmus students from Germany - However, only to Germans, since - judging by the conversations. Otherwise, there was a bit of information material from the high school sports and the organization that takes care of foreign students (Sprachtandems organizes and assigns mentors and stuff). For eternal Rumgewarte in the much too cold air-conditioned auditorium were then still held some speeches, but also contained not much important information. At least, not what was said in English. About the English speech, the Vice Rector I can not say much because I did not know much have. Before the auditorium there was still a buffet and drinks and that's it for now. On the one hand while almost angry that I have for the stress of an early departure made to me, but I think the "Fun Day" tomorrow, will be worth somewhat more. Because there is a - for free - a day trip to the National Park on Mount Teide, the volcano made. This is determined nice.

This evening, the third roommate has arrived. Also a German and if I can judge so far, very nice. Although it is in itself two weeks here, but much of that time was to do with their friend or vacation in the south.
Oh, and I could this morning for the first time warm . Showering Wuhu!

Wipes Warmer Adapter Output

And further in the text

am the next day I went to Ikea and then first broken and later gene Uni International Office. Here I quickly realized that my plan, me here to buy a used bike is probably not the best. It is so hilly that I reminds me of so many recording from San Francisco feel. Flat country I had not expected but much as I had not thought of. Plays a small example:



And this is in some places even better. :) I need to Ikea min walk as 15th while I walk 15 min. uphill. I've been really sore in the butt. * G *
As in the corner, I live in the houses and really ... hmm ... unkempt look and a lot broke, I was delighted when I met on my walk across the Autopista del Norte on an apparently new road with a tram station, which made me imagine myself in a modern time.



The tram here before I find cool. It is only this one line that was completed last year. In the tram itself there's free wi-fi, so W-Lan. I've not tried, but it will - still do - just on principle. The public transport are also relatively cheap. A single ticket costs € 1.30, with a trading card and 90 cents with the trading card for students even just 70Cent. A station is further
the main campus of the Universidad de La Laguna. This is because the Institute of Philology, running on the my courses.



this way, the proof that the title of my blog "studying under the palm trees" is not exaggerated. This is another corner of the campus.



After a short campus tour I went for the first time in the Tranvía (the tram) increased and the terminus of La Trinidad down because there is the International Relations Office. I have not found too, but it did not have to. So I walked a bit through the streets. And enjoy this corner of the city, I also really good. It is the historical Center, with many pretty houses, squares and churches. On Tuesday, also finds a guided tour of the exchange students. Since then I show some pictures. But what I found funny is that the streets are swept with palm fronds. Even a photo from the hip, because I wanted to be not so obvious tourist. ;)



Oh, and what I found amazing, two murals were close to the historic city core. The first is still under Graffiti, but it is really cool, I think. The second is like a work of art.





After that, I'm actually only a small Schwenker over Ikea went home. But I do not even get the drivers of you to tears? ;)
