Well well the lure of having internet connection in a foreign 2G town is too great that I brought a O2 internet surfstick with a colleague, myself become poorer by 45 Euro in the process. The connection isn't that fantastic as compared to what we have back in Singapore, but haha it is better than having nothing at all. I have been wanting to buy this surfstick ever since my arrival, but then due to many unforeseen reasons and work commitments, I only got hold of the surfstick 3 weeks after arriving.
A bit pity that I was not able to go out more than expected. This is afterall a work trip. And also not able to speak German is definitely a challenge. And the unfamiliar transport system, and the fact the country is so big that it is hard to explore, given that the time off given is often only enough to visit small towns that are nearby.
But there are still many firsts & memories to take away from this trip - I definitely didn't quite enjoy the 13 hrs flight from Singapore to Franfurt. The worst was the domestic flight between Franfurt to Hamburg. The rapid change in alittude caused my ear to be superb painful. Haha.
I saw snow for the first time in my life. The first week here was really cold, the winter didn't seem pleased to leave, but now is much better, the temperature is raising and there is a bit of sunshine now.
And yeah I played soccer with the German. My painful first hand lesson - Never never attempt to block their shots. I kinda sprained my right wrist for that. And damn it was still a goal despite the fast reflex save, it was too toO tOO TOO powerful, unstoppable.
Okay lah, that's all folks. There are many more, but there are many i couldn't write about too. My wrist is getting painful and haha it is about time to rest before the daylight saving kick in. Damn I will have 1 less hour sleep tonight, take care and cheers. =P
