Muddy Hot Spring

Last Wednesday I met my very good friends Yuki and Kevin (Sang Ju) to say goodbye. They're in Japan right now, getting married! They are such a nice couple, I'll miss them so much when I get back home. But luckily they'll spend part of there honeymoon in Germany.

First, we tested Yuki's brand new oven to make pizza and several cakes. Kevin's classmate Babu assisted us while Kevin was at work and we had a lot of fun.




Yuki, Babu and me:


Yuki, Kevin and me:


After eating dinner we drove to a special hot spring where you can bath in mud hot water and cover your whole body in mud. That was soooo cool, I had a lot of fun and we also made some great mud monster pictures:




During our drive back home Kevin's car had a flat tire. Funny thing that nobody but me knew how to change the tire. Glad that my Dad always made me change the tires myself... it's already the second flat tire I had to change on the highway. But in the end all went fine and we got home safely. Here's our last group picture at my home:

Dumpling Farewell Party at Michael's

Wow, the time here went past so fast and now it's already time for me to go back home. My plane leaves on Thursday 11.02. and I will arrive in Frankfurt on Friday 12.02. On the one hand I can't wait to get back home to see my parents and Dominik and my friends again, but on the other hand I met some good friends here in Taiwan and I know there will be several other things I'll miss as well. Anyway, I enjoyed my time here very much and it was a great experience for me! Thanks already to all my friends here, I'll miss you and hope you can come to Heidelberg for a visit!

Last Tuesday my boss Michael had a farewell party at his house for me. We made dumplings, because everybody noticed that I love to eat dumplings (sometimes several times a week!)

All my labmates were there and my friend Tery.



This is Michael and me. I enjoyed the time in his lab very much; I found he was a great boss and a cool guy to have around as well. ;)


All the lab people:


This is Alex and me: I had a least one or two questions ever day and he never got tired or annoyed to answer them... thanks again! He's a really cool guy! ;)



Hm, how to spell his name right: Maybe Xiau Guei? He'y a very funny guy and I always enjoyed talking to him!


These are all the girls from the lab: Jill, Lina, Me, Annie and In.


And all the boys: Xiau Guei, Justin, Gary, Martin, Jim, Amin and Alex.


These are Michaels wife Michelle and his two children Samual and Jessica. They all speak very good English, especially the kids, but sometimes they were a bit shy. Anyway, I want to thank them again for giving me such a great time here!
