Day 21 - A new home

Friday was finally here. I woke up early, as I needed to pack everything, to make sure I wouldn't leave nothing behind. So I gathered all my belongings (thanks to Emi, I had almost zero laundry), packed them in my bag and went down for breakfast. Here, I thanked Emi once again for having me there, for doing my laundry, for feeding me, etc. I was getting really good at thanking people in German. And finally the time to leave had come. I left (Emi offered to drive me, as the nag was heavy, but I didn't want to cause this last trouble). Got to the bus, and off I was to Munich, for the last time (well, I planed to come once more, to give them a gift, so technically, not for the last time).

In Munich, I met Manuel, and we decided to try the school canteen for lunch. Bad luck, we arrived at 13:50 and it had closed five minutes before. As we were close to Doris' apartment, we stopped there, so I could pickup "my" sleeping bag. Well, on the way back we stoped at a Vinzenzemur and I got a plate of ribs. No side dish. He got some spaghetti. After that, it was ready to move in.

Manuel accompanied me to the front door, as he had nothing better to do, and we arrived 20 minutes early, so I just sat there and waited, and Mauel went back to his hostel. 10 minutes had gone by, when the landlord (Mr Peilun He) appeard. It all went smoothly. We signed the deposit papers, I payed him, and got the keys I so much wanted. Hurray. Now I definitely had a place. I got to meet some of my roomates. I met Patrick, the finish boy studying also at Garching, met Luca, an Italian looking for an internship, Youssuf, a Turkish already doing an internship and Remi, a student of Mechanical Engeneering, also studying at the Garching campus. There were still 3 persons missing, that I would meet eventually.

So I just stayed in my room, went out to the supermarket to buy some groceries, enough for an afternoon snack and dinner. I bought some milk, cereals, meat and rice. Only when I decided to cook dinner, I realized I had forgot to buy onions, and butter, so I couldn't cook anything nice. So yeah, my dinner was cereals.

And then the usual night routine, talking with the folks back at home, watched some shows, and bed time. This time there was a problem. No pillow yet. Well, I had to wait until Monday. Until then, my towel would have to do.
