Strong beer festival at Paulaner am Nockherberg
1 March 2008

 Every year during the fasting time all the beer breweries in Munich celebrate the Starkbier festival. During the short period, they brew the Starkbier (Strong beer), a type of dark beer with more than 7% alcohol. Among them, Paulaner brewery is the most popular with their Starkbier "Salvator".

We went to the Paulaner am Nockherberg restaurant on 5. During the festival, there is €1 entrance fee just to enter the beer garden area. The situation is similar like oktoberfest, many people are wearing dirndl or lederhose.

1 Maß beer(1 liter mug) costs € 7,95 and the food price are quite acceptable. I ordered a Steckerlfisch(grilled Mackerel), which cost me € 9. The other food also cost from € 8 - € 13, just like normally. But be careful with the Starkbier. Because of the higher alcohol percentage, many people told me not to drink more than 2 mugs.

Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt
9 December 2007

Christmas Market (Weihnachtsmarkt or Christkindlesmarkt) in Nuremberg is the most famous one in Germany. It's also probably the biggest, although it's not as big as it looks in pictures and television.

In the market stands, you can find many varieties of ginger bread (Lebküchen). The ginger bread is mostly sold under the name "Nürbernger Lebküchen", showing that it's the speciality from Nuremberg.

Also... heute bin ich zum Konzert von den Juliette and the Licks in dem Georg Elser Hallen gegangen.

Frag mich nicht wer die sind... sogar nach dem Konzert kenne ich ihre Lieder noch gar nicht...

Tja... aber es ist OK... Dirk und Vodj wieder zu treffen war ja sowieso der Hauptgrund. Dass das Konzert besser war als ich dachte, ist der Abend ganz gut gelaufen.

Fachbereich Design Informatik Medien
10. Oktober 2006 - Schloss Biebrich, Wiesbaden

Der Ziel ist erreicht !!! Obwohl ich schon längst fertig bin, ohne die Diplomfeier ist es einfach noch nicht komplett. Endlich ist mein Diplom da !!!
Tschüss FH Wiesbaden, Vielen Dank für alle tolle Zeiten und natürlich auch für die hervorragende Ausbildung zum Diplom. Informatiker (FH).

These are some pics from my graduation ceremony. In Germany is the graduation party quite modest. Infact, it is only the graduation from the students of my departement, not from the whole university.
Ah... Another important thing... German's "Diplom" is not a Diploma. OK !!!

Hofbräu Festzelt, Sunday, 1. October 2006
with Oliver, Bianca and Silke

 Oliver, my university mate @ FH Wiesbaden is coming to Munich specially for the Oktoberfest. On Sunday, I joined him and his 2 school friends, Bianca and Silke to Oktoberfest, for the third time.

It was around 12 and we already couldn't enter the Schottenhammel Zelt. We moved to Hacker Pschorr Zelt, but there we waited to find table for more than 30 minutes, without any success.

The tent beside the Hacker Pschorr tent is the Hofbräu Festzelt. It is the biggest tent in the Oktoberfest and there... we finally got a table.
