This weekend we decided to go a bit more green … we changed our electricity provider.
After some research (actually carried out by a friend of us), some thinking and some calculations we decided to invest a little extra in green energy.
And the provider of choice is … naturstrom.de!
Which apparently is as green as it gets in Germany.
In case you live in Germany an feel like changing as well … we can hook you up ;)
Weired physics
I almost forgot to give a little update on new things happening in my field … Holger B. Nielsen is back with some new/updated theories!
He made it into the NY Times and to Tagessschau.de
Lucky delay and another wedding
For the first time in my life I was extremely happy about a delayed plane. Returning from Perugia last Friday, it actually saved my day. With trains as well as bussed being delayed I only made it to the check-in at boarding time. Only by the fact that the plane had one hour delay anyways I got on it … puha!
With more than an hour delay I finally made it home at 1h30 next morning, leaving again at 8h30 for another of this year’s weddings (there were a couple of friends getting married this year).
Nice ceremony and party somewhere in the outback of North-East Germany.
WIN’09 in Perugia
It’s Sunday and it’s five in the morning. The alarm goes off.
Yeah right, that was the start of my day … and got better. I had a guy sitting next to me o the plane, that seemed to be of pure garlic!? Dunno … I kinda like garlic, but this guy was pushing it. To round off the two hour flight experience I had a group of young(ish) school kids/teens sitting behind me, talking sh** during the whole flight … hmm perfect.
Arriving in Rome I was allowed to witness the most inefficient airport shuttle ever, finally bringing me from Ciampino to the central station, where I had to walk my heels off to get to the station toilet.
Anyways … after this I actually managed to have a short walk around the city, see the Colosseum and some other parts of the Roman Forum. Unfortunately it was raining a bit and I had only three hours time before I had to catch my train.
Arriving in Perugia I was drawn back into the rhythm the day started by the absence of the shuttle bus that was supposed to pick me up and the fact that I had to find and try four public payphones to finally have one that would not say that I am not allowed to pay with coins in the moment …
In the land of the Inca
After some good days of work I finally managed to finish the complete route of our trip through Peru, this weekend. It’s online on my webpage since yesterday. Some more words and pictures (login needed) will follow soon(ish).
