Subject "Gummy Bear"
Today I signed in for a funny subject. Here in the Bauhaus Universität the names of the subjects sometimes are really funny, abstract and most of times have nothing to do with the reality of the subject. In this case the name reminded me how I like Gummy Bears. This...

Hire or buy a bike much before the semester starts
I came late again and now is very difficult to find a bike in good conditions. Make sure you don't do the same mistake as I did. When you get here, immediately search for a bike. I still have 2 weeks before the semester starts but it's impossible to find a bike to rent...

Professional Networks
Many of you talked about the importance of social networks to stay in touch with everyone during the Erasmus programme. It's very important to have them all in your friend's list and at the beginning to remeber everyone's names:). But I believe professional networks...

In Germany there are many provinces where you pay nothing for credits. In Weimar is free and they offer many interesting subjects. In my university german students are forced to take 3 subjects per semester, 1 project (18 ECTS) and 2 werkmodule (6 ECTS). But there is...

German Parks
I have an extreme luck that the city of Weimar has plenty of parks. I woke up this morning and went jogging in the Park an der Ilm, the one that's closer to the centre. At 9 a. m. the park is full of runners and walkers. These germans really like taking an early run or...

This is quite a strong topic to talk about in Germany. Every german is a supporter of it's own city team. This is a tradition. And if you happen to be a supporter of another team than your city's - you are considered to be a traitor. There are few holidays in Germany...
