Hi folks,
it's been long, again. I've been traveling to Norway in the second week of August and it was just awesome. At the moment I am uploading the pictures of this trip to my homepage, so soon you'll be able to view them. There is just a couple of things to say. There is nothing better then actually having the possibility to visit a friend who shows you around in another country. Marte has planned everything through and through and we went by car from the East- to the Westcoast of Norway. We've seen big cities, tiny villages, absolute (green) desert high up in the mountains, beautiful fjords, rivers and lakes. Not to forget the ocean. I've seen so many things I never would've imagined to be able to see in just 7 days. As well we went on a really dangerous (from a european point of view) hike and survived it. Skandinavian people seem to be used to dangerous heights, steep mountains and slim rocky passage ways. Anyway it was just perfect. The only one thing was a negative experience with a so-thought best friend, but you never know people until you spend time with them around the clock.
After Norway my gf and me went back to Rostock, spent some time and then I got a sudden call from a really good friend of my time in the USA... Val. She and her bf (Andrew) would be coming to Germany, two days after the call. Everything was a real quick decision, after they had to spend a night in the Hamburg trainstation (because the Deutsche Bahn screwed up their train connection and every hostel was booked out) I went to meet them in Berlin the next day. We spent 4 wonderful days racing through Berlin from sightseeing stop to sightseeing stop and came along just as well as we used to in the USA. I loved it, even though my gf decided to stay home. I think I've now been 4 or 5 times up on the Reichstag and I can't wait to have more friends over and show them around. First of all if they manage to get a job in Spain, my bro and me will go there to see them. So anyway... after 4 days of German history, German cars and (for Andrew) lots of German beer they left to see Prague. Pictures of those 4 days will be up on my website soon...
For me, now, it's studying time. Back in Rostock again I have 2 big exams (Anatomy and Neuroanatomy) coming up. So working my way through looots of bones, muscles and nerves I hope everybody is doing great.

P.S: I wish I had more time to upload some of my landscapes photographies to my photography-website...
