My first washing ...

I slept well last night, my new accommodation is very quiet too. But early at morning I heard falling down water drops to a metal bar, it was a little bit exciting. So today I had my first own made breakfast: 2 slices of toast with winnipeg honey (I received from my inmate), milk with Nesquik and one of these shining and well cleaned apples :)

Then it was time for washing, I learnt how to use this "special" washing machines ;) I heard a lot of this machines and I was a little bit frightened ... but finally it wasn't a problem (my clothes are still looking good). If you don't know of what kind of washing machines I'm talking about, you will see below a picture of washing machine of the same type - but this washing machine on the picture is a very old one and works perhaps only with cold water.



At afternoon I had to go to university for a presentation on different general topics. Most of the exchange students are from Asia especially from China. The walk to university takes me about one hour, so I will see for other solutions: Bycicle, bus or even an own car ...

For souper I made a tasty steak and some noodles with a sauce (don't believe I made the sauce myself) - but don't worry, I will not tell you all day what I'm eating.

After souper I was again at grocery (a 10 min. walk) and bought some things I even missed. Finally this day looks like a normal day in the life of a student ...

Some more pics will follow in the next days, also the story from the newspaper about the confusion on swiss and swedish people ...
