or: What to do with it afterwards?
Fabian wanted to hear more of this "every-day stuff". This post is dedicated especially to you, Fabian. :->
People used to what we could call "Western European standard" will be shocked by this information: In Mexico you are not allowed to throw the toilet paper into the toilet. Instead you have a wastepaper basket next to the toilet. This is because of the bad quality of Mexican drainage systems. They just would clog.
But to calm all of you who were shocked too much: At our house we throw the paper into the toilet. Hey, we all are Germans and our landlord never mentioned that it's not allowed.
Please don't forget the vocabulary test (see post July 01)!
*In German this is a nice expression to avoid the word "toilet".

Hi Christian!
I really feel impressed and honored that you published a photo of your most private place only because of me! This is the very first time someone bestowed his personal throne for me. I do not know by now if I am lucky, but I'll tell you asap :-)
(But thanks anyway that you thought of me)
Oh, nearby, before I forget again: what is your time of return? Do you already know when you "repatriate"?
And how did you see the German game on Tuesday (vs. Italy) and today (vs. Portugal)? Btw: I got a SMS from Jim (Paramedic), he was telling me that the entire British Commonwealth is cheering for Germany to beat the (a couple of VERY informal slang-phrases followed) Portugese. And so we did!!
Hi Fabian,
of course you can feel honored! I don't show my very private place to anybody;-) (oh well, I hope you don't mind this bit of kidding!)
By the middle of September I'll be back in Germany. That is to say if everything turns out as planned (I have my doubts about plans since I'm in Mexico;-). No, no, by that time I should be back. I definitely want to finish my studies soon.
BTW, how things are going for you? Any news about a job? You can also write me an email if that's too private.
And you know what? I'd like to see what you make out of the vocabulary test;-)
CU soon
Fucking hell, I thought I would be able to avoid that... I am not really good with those games! And to be honest: I have no clue in which direction the phrase go, but I just guess a bit:
1. Some kind of gigolo, esp. for mid-aged women
2. I think, Prince Charles got some: jug ears
3. see 8., just for males
4. Sweat generated by the feet (smelly smelly...)
5. I have a guess, but I'm not brave enough to state it... (to screw so. has a very informal translation in Germany which has to do with the "F"-word)
7. I think pubic hair speaks for itself...
8. Informal titulation for a female - sourpuss
9. Go away! Fuck off!
At 6+10 I dont have a clue. I think, we need the context the phrases are used in.
Anyway, it was a nice break of writing!
Picking up your question: I definatly have no job after the end of my studies, so I'll have to apply for a new one like everybody else. I see it as a chance to do something new. But first of all I have to finish my thesis, will which be achieved by the end of next week - for sure! I nearly finished the theoretical part by last night, only some detail-work has to do be done. Afterwards I'll have to work a bit on my practice-report, but the basic is finished already. So only things like introduction, description of job, department, etc... And of course the big old "Critical Appraisal"! Good old assaignment-time in Stafford! Who didnt love it?!
I hope to see you on the MSN in the next days! Tomorrow I'll drive home, to accomlish the improvement-test of advanced technical english at the uni. My last exam was just a 3.7.
have a nice week, hope to see you soon! September is still quiet far away, but I look forward to go out for a couple of pints with you!
Oh, nearby: phoned to the "tante" marion on the weekend. She got a thesis comprising 300 pages, including a really huge appendix!
Greetings, Fabin
