-War-
I have tried everything, i burned this smelly sfuff, i fixed the door net, i was careful not to open the window without the net, i fighted them everyday and night, and for sleeping, i covered myself until the hair,and they were always there. Bastards! They even bite me on the nose! urghhhhhhhhhhh....................
So today i came earlier than usual, cause I wanted to finally work on the 2 pending works for Weimar. I sit on my table, make a coffee, prepare everything, and when i look up to the ceiling, i see them, the enemy! I don't know where they come from, but there are least 30 of them, some are quite big! I declared war! If someone could see me, would probably thing that i am completely crazy.I climbed the window and the bed to kill them, i was throwing things
against the walls, and finally, i guess i got them all. Now i have all these dozens spots of
blood and dead mosquitoes sticked on the walls. My goblet! Two hours of my precious time later, i am tired and irritated. I was possessed about killing all them, and i will kill them again tomorrow. But there must be an easier way.Hum, it also be good if stops raining. :-(

Maybe i should just stop complaining and go sleep. Tomorrow is brand new day, perfect to start being more effective with my tasks!

Non-scientific reading.
In the Frankfurt airport there were not so many good options for English books. Among Danielle Steel, Tom Clancy and Dan Brown, i chose Paulo Coelho, The Zhair. Shame on me?!?! It took me two evenings to read it, and I am glad i had finished. Now i can buy some of the English books sold in the bookstores here, Hesse, Kafka, Hemingway. And for 1/5 of the price.
Lunch and walking around the town near the University Campus (Zheng Liang Cun). Checked prices for sending packets to Germany. Discovered an interesting Pub - American Pie - Warm beer, cold food, lousy movies, in this town, which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Should go there someday, not because of food or beer, but the movies they show for free everyday at 7pm.
Ordered new glasses, since i didn't bring mine, and i did start to have some headache because of so much reading. A perfect service, very simple store, but the offer you some fruits, then they measure your diopter (thanks God it was the correct one), and they say they call some hours later. In fact, they come to your place to deliver the product! And it was also possible to handle a bit, from 190 to 150 RMBs. Good good deal.

Then we wanted to download some movies from the internet, but there was no electricity at the lab. This fact is quite very common. It is just bad, e.g, for the experiments, since the online measurements and the stirring stop.
Again some more walking around, had my hair washed and cut, very interesting experience. The drying was not so effective, and my hair had more volume than before. They like this here, and i would die to have the waveless Chinese hair. I also noticed that most of the hairdresser here are men, not women as i am used to.
Bought some more small things, basically "plastic stuff" (chopsticks, plates, cups, and so on). Went to KFC and had coffee. Hum, not good at all, but it was also nice to observe that people, even thou they have so many nice restaurants around they go to this, that is per se "the" fast food chain in China, even stronger than Mc Donalds. Like people say, taste you can't discuss, you lament.

Prof. Raninger was planing to go to a beach down to the south, and would call me, but i guess he probably gave up. Slept until late, but could not stand the "workers" laud noise outside anymore. So, on friday, when i open the door, there is a role in front of it, i still don't what they had to fix, but it was in almost the entire first floor. They worked yesterday and today, and thou everything is still a mess on the corridors, it is finished. I have heard a very
interesting phrase: In China, everyday is a working day. There is no such a thing as weekend, not for most of the working people. Amazing. The country that never stops!

So, since today is Valentines day in China, e got my husband some presents:
He is a geologist, and likes stones! I thought he might like these ones, still don't know how to take them! :)
Here you can read some interesting story about the origin of this Double Seventh Festival.
