Tea Set

I have bought in a fleamarket a tea set, 6 cups with saucers. They are from Tirschenreuth, a town next to the border with the Czech Republic where there was a Porcelain factory in Bavaria, now closed. They seem to be of a very good quality, I let them soaking all night in soap and hot water to remove all stains.

It is very Important to have a blog

Even though you are not good at writing or nobody reads it: Because in your blog you write what happened to you, with a date, then in the future you can remember. What now is irrelevant, in the future might not be. I am telling this because I found some backup of a very old blog I had, and it was so nice to read myself again (I was such a bad writer!).

I don't live in Garching anymore, now I live in Unterföhring. I have already registered in the Rathaus, therefore I am officially an Unterföhringer. I live in a dorm cheaper than my previous room and I have my own kitchen and bathroom, the kitchen does not have an oven but at least it is just next to my room. The campus is farther now but I have night bus! and I have used it a lot. I was thinking that even though here drinking in a bar is more expensive than Chile, at least you don't have to spend money in a taxi, therefore maybe at long the money you spend is not much more.





What can be seen behind the dorm is a Thermal Power Station (Wärmekraftwerk).
