I’ve found a little cafe 20 mins away that has free wireless over at Manheim, so the cheapskate in me couldn’t resist taking advantage of the deal. The only downside? You’ll feel pressured to order a drink. So, if you get someone to come with you and you all share the drink (which is what I’m doing), it only works out to maybe 1 euro until your computer dies (which I hope it’s not too soon).
And scheiße means shit in German. I learnt that when my experiment went horribly wrong last Thursday and the lab tech in charge of me was going, “Scheiße, scheiße, scheiße.” The beta symbol is actually 2 s, so spelling it in English would probably get you scheisse (pronounced sh-ai-ze). And heilige Scheiße = holy shite
So my first weekend out is to Heidelberg! According to Zee and Ellen, it’s a must go. Maybe I’ve seen too many old neighbourhoods in Spain, so I was not wowed by it. It’s a nice city, pretty touristy, and I forsee myself spending my lazy weekends there, but like I said, not wow. Sorry Zee and Ellen =P.
The charming streets of Heidelberg. I think it’s a great place to just sit at one of the roadside cafes and watch the crowds go by.
The Heidelberg Schloss or “castle”. What’s left of it anyway. Pretty well maintained, but a huge bitch to climb up. It gives a great view of the city of Heidelberg. This castle has a long history and I guess any German history buff will love it, but since I know nothing about German history, I guess I can’t really relate to it.

And by the way Ellen, I don’t blog on the job. Tsk. I go to a seedy little internet shop to blog and do all my online stuff. Ah, I hate having no internet..
