Holidays

Berlin, Geneva, Sweden

Just a short sum up of the holidays that passed by in the last couple of weeks …

Having left Geneva on Dec 19th I dropped Johanna and Tom somewhere north of Frankfurt and after a nice evening, a good night’s sleep I continued towards Berlin …

During the days before Christmas I (unfortunately) entered the Christmas shopping world, which immediately took away the last bit of joyful anticipation towards the holidays!

Anyway after these trouble I tried to enjoy my first appointment free Chistmas eve and almost failed since I had to notice (for the first time) that shops close at times like 13h or 15h on that day … which is bad in case you need something urgently at about 18h …
Thanks to the Indian’s (who do not celebrate at this day) we managed to fill up my new dehydrating machine :) with fresh fruits and vegies in the end.

The rest of the holidays was quite relaxing and nearly as expected …

After this trouble we (being seven and a half friend and me) drove out to the Swedish outback to spend a couple of days, including New Year’s Eve, in a hut (thanks to Esben, greetz).
Besides some troubles with fuses, missing heating, dead animals and overflowing shit-tanks everything went well and we had a great time …

And now I am back for work in Zeuthen (the small village close to Berlin) …

Finally some skiing

Geneva, Snowboarding, Switzerland

Yesterday, I finally managed to go skiing (or better snowboarding) for once this year (and unfortunately maybe also for this season).
I went to Les Diablerets with some friends (greetz) and spent a whole day in the boots … ;)
Great fun even though we left Geneva at about 6:30 am!
We rounded off the day with a nice dinner (actually I had another one with my roomies afterwards … also very nice).

Double Fondue and the Escalade

Geneva

This weekend was kind of exhausting … it started with cheese fondue at Regina’s on Friday (and cheese fondue is no fun … it tough work), continued with turkey-shopping for Wednesday’s Christmas Party and watching some friends running on the Escalade in Geneva and another cheese fondue at Daniel’s (the was a little lack of coordination … apparently) and ws rounded of with my shift this morning (7h-15h) and some korean food (which I am going to get in about two hours) …
all really nice, but usually just too much … puh …

Julefrokost and Heike in town

CERN, Geneva, Uncategorized

Another year … another Julefrokost (or Christmas Lunch, if you prefer).
This time the first one (at least for me) outside of Copenhagen, but since most of the young guys, from my time at NBI, are at CERN these days not much of a change …
the menue was (too) great and big as usual … fish, fish, fish and pork, pork, pork … and of course a lot of alcohol … after all its a Danish Christmas party ;)
A lot of fun that was even increased by the fact that Heike was around for the weekend (unfortunately only for the weekend :( )

Lyon, Pickpockets and Room Update

Geneva

Well … not much happaning besides work these days, as you might have guessed from the little number of posts during the last days … on the other hand I didn’t do much work on the weekendm which was supposed to be reserved for work … oh man … anyway …

On Friday I drove Heidi, Esben and Troels to Lyon, so that they could catch there cheap flight, and visited the town for the rest of the day … its quite a nice city (as I already noticed in 2005) … and again I didn’t spent enough time there …

Yesterday I spent quite some time at a police station since one of my friends got his wallet stolen while we were out for dinner … and after that we ended up in some strange pub … but obviously not strange enough to drive us out …

Today I was again working on my ‘new’ webpage instead of doing work … so the pressure (got two talks, a validation shift and the CERN Guide introduction this week) is increase … but again obviously not enough …

Anyway … for those interested I put up a new picture of my room in Geneva …<
