Surprises

Suprise 1: Received an email:

Didn't follow up your previous message. So how're you doing? Work in the new job or plan to stay in Mars? :-)

so I tried to reply with the language spoken in Mars:

vor 3 Wochen habe ich meine Arbeit gekuendigt. Ich denke, ich fliege Anfang Oktober nach Tuebingen. Aber ich habe noch kein Zimmer im Wohnheim und keine Flugkarte. Im Moment bin ich sehr beschaeftig mit meiner Masterarbeit. Wenn du Lust hast, koennen wir vielleicht im September zusamman Essen gehen. Was meinst du? =D

Then I received the reply:

Adfalskd, a;sdo09;kj ,;lkj sdfkj,, llaksdf- --..jlskd (translation: yes!)

Surprise 2: When I went to Cafe de Coral to have my tea before my German class, I splashed the whole glass of Cola. Quite embarassing, but no one scolded me. Instead 3 people gave me tissues, and the staff gave me a new glass of Cola. Glueck im Unglueck.

Surprise 3: Today is the birthday of Dr. Robin Sackmann. Amazingly, some of the classmates remembered, and bought him a singing candle, potato sticks, and cakes. He received a B'day card with his head printed on it (created with ICQ, costs US$15?), and also a self-hand-made Chinese style signature chop from Yan. The biggest impact of this event on me is that... I realize how unskillful I'm in creating happiness for other people.
