From Karlsruhe, Germany

Hello my dearest!

I know: this time it took some time before I write. It's just that I'm in Germany without my computer and that's also the reason why unfortunately I'm not gonna show you any new pictures this time (sorry!!!)
I got a new apartment with other 2 guys right downtown in Karlsruhe (near Lidellplatz for the ones that know what I'm talking about). Next to it there is a small cafeteria, where -I was told- you can get the best coffee in town.
The only 2 drawbacks of my new home is that the toilet floor is parquet and both toilet and bathroom have no heating device... I know, I can use an electric device for the bathroom...but for the toilet??:(

I really enjoyed my birthday starting from breakfast with Daniel, Tillmann (the roommates of Elias)and Elias who backed a delicious cheesecake for me:) Among the other very nice presents, I got 2 Hefeweizen (one Hoepfner and one Münchner) and a Hefe glas (you're not supposed to drink Weizen from other glasses nor from the bottle!!)

In the evening I made a "tortino di zucchini" with rice, cheese, bacon and zucchini of course, and peppers au gratin.
I've just heard that most likely I really have to make a language exam next 10th of September (till now I just hoped they recognize my bilingual certificate), so I'd better start learning German:P

Since I'm not longer abroad (I mean out of Europe), I'll write more occasionally on the blog, since I assume it's gonna be easier for everybody to keep in touch over the phone or per e-mail.

Thank you everybody for birthday greetings and comments and e-mails!

nice greetings

Antonella
