Week 6 report

Hello everyone, here comes to my Sixth week in Germany.
In this week, there are not too many pictures here, because as I said in last report.
My carmera was broken in the trip to Holland. I think there are some sand go into my camera, then my lens can not go back to the body of the camera, this problem affect me for this whole week.
So, I just call this week as Black Week 6.
At now, let's start this week,
To make a review for this whole week.


On monday, my main task is to settle the box you see on my left hand side, there is an inwheel motor inside, and we will send it by DHL to Australia for this solar car competition, it's a very important task, and we met some problems for that, because the people who did the delivery, he can not speak English.
haha```so we just try our best to let him understand.
After finished this task, I went to the City Centre alone, for asking about repairing my camera and purchasing some winter cloths, because the weather is becoming colder and colder.
After the whole day traveling in the City, I was a bit sad and tired, because I got the information about repairing the camera, it may takes me 100 Euro for just repair this camera, but my camera was just bought for about 1 year and 3months, just out of warranty. It's my first day of this week, and I was very unhappy and sad.```T_T

On Tuesday, after I finished my works for that day, i went to the captain city of this state, for checking the price for the camera, I got the feeling to buy another one, instead of repairing the old one for 100 euro.
It was really very lucky that it's free for us to travel in this State for free, or I have to pay for the train ticket for 15 Euro per ride.


On Wednesday, today is the registration for the German language course, Jeeva and I went to school quite early to register the class, we have to choose the most basic class, which is called A1, haha```I hope I also can get A1 for my result.
after the registeration ,we went to the Dusseldolf again for visiting the market of camera. In these days, my life is all about camera. people is like this , when you lost some stuffs, you will miss them alot and think of those days you have them.




On Thursday, the weather become colder and colder, today's temperature for the daytime is 3-6℃,and for the night, it will goes down to -2℃。It was really amazing for me, it's really a long time that I haven't experience this kind of weather for a long time. as you see, both of us dressed a lot.
haha..
at night ,there are two girls come to my house for visiting, they were invited by my roommate, and the two girls are twins!
magic!!
haha


On Friday, there are no much things to do already,but I had explored our project room, and there are a lot of nice stuffs. like this...haha```
and I don't want to go anywhere by this weekend, because I do not have camera, so I have no mood for traveling at all....
But I went for a party on my friend's house at night, it was amazing and crazy!!!



On Sat, I woke up at 10 o'clock, and I went to the flow market, and bought some nice stuffs, three model cars, they are Proche, Farris and Benz.
I never imagine that I could have them in one day.
That's like a dream!!

Finally I moved to Sunday, haha``` I went to Aachen again with Amir and Jeeva, I went for my camera from my mum, I really lucky that I have one friend just come back from China , and he lives in the same city as me, He study in Aachen Uni, which is the best uni in Germany for Engineering...
And finally I took some pictures again.



That's all for my this week...
See you..
Have a nice day

and today I received one birthday gift from Jeeva, it's a bottle of red wine, and this is my first time for me to get some birthday gift like that. I really want to say thanks to Jeeva, to give the first wine to me.
I'm not a good drinker, as drink 2 bottles of beer, I will get drunk. but for the grape wine, I can drink the whole bottle.


At the last day of 20, I cook a dinner of chinese food, and I also invited Jeeva come to my house for that, it's the time that he passed me the first wine gift in my life.



After that I also got go to the bar for playing, that my friends here, really give me a great surprise, they sang the HAPPY BIRTHDAY song for me suddenly in the Bar, and this is the first time that heard so much people sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY song for me, there are about 60-80 people there, really very touched. This is the first wine I had got as a birthday gift. and this picture was taken by me at night before I went to sleep.


On Tuesday, Oct 06, Today is my birthday, and this is the first birthday that I celebrated in Germany, such a country which is really far away from home. So I cooked this dinner to invite my friends come to my house for this dinner.
And i also spent a long time for this dinner, but lucky it's nice to eat, and all the people like it, and finished it very clearly.
On Wednes day, I went to school for continue my report, and there is a party tonight too, this is the semseter opening party for the students, and i also bought the ticket for that, but there is one thing that I'm not so clear, it is why the student union would like to host the party on Wednesday, and all the people will have class tomorrow.haha

On Thursday, it's a sunny day, I love the weather alot.  I and Jeeva went to the city after we finish our task at school.





Those pictures were taken by me in the weekend,  and this week I had been to Holland for a short holiday, but till now I still fill very bad for this holiday, because I lose my dear camera, and now I have no camera now, my camera's lence can not go back, I think it's because there are some sands go into my camera and stuck my gear of the camera,
I feel really very bad, becasue of that, it affected my whole week6.
good luck to me, and camera.
take care.

4th week report

Hello everyone, this is my 4th week in Germany, and now I may talk something about those things that I have done for this whole week.

On Monday, there are no much thing to do, because all of my teammates have gone for the competition to Australia, and the only thing I and Jeeva should do is, we should search some information for the solar cars' report. And after that we had some exercises, is skating.




as you see, I was practising how to jump with a skateboard,


and after the exercise, I was really tired.
On Tuesday, it's date that Armin came back, and he taught us some thing more that we should do for the sensors. We connect the wire to the sensor, and use the spray to cover the board, so that the plastic could protect the board from the air and water.




On the Wednesday, we went to Mr Loben's house again, and the propose to go there is to take the motor that I mentioned 1 week ago, we need to take the motor back from the Loben's house, and modify somemore.
As you see, we are testing the core and the copper ring of the  motor, we have to make sure that the wheel will running smoothly.


as you see the picture above, it's Mr Loben. He is fixing the edge of the core, make sure that it is smooth that won't damage the wire.

On Thusday , there is a meeting, that we met with Professor, at first he tould me some things that I and Jeeva need to do, but after that they all are discuss in German, that we can't understand even one word.
So I decide that I will learn the German well!!

On Friday, Armin left again, he went back to his hometown for one week holiday, I and Jeeva just come to school and did the task that the professor gave to us.

  As the picture shows that, we are in the season of Fall already, the weather is quite cool, the trees are all becoming yellow.




I went to the Aachen at Sat, and the place there is  really very very nice , maybe is because of the season that I go, but I really love the leaves there. really very beautiful, it makes me feel like paradise.

When I sat there alone, I missed a lot of my friends, and really feel very thanksful to them.

This picture is taken on the way back to the Train Station from the Aachen University, the uni is the Top uni about engineering in Germany, and there are only 1/3 people could graduate from the school.!!!

As you can see the picture on the wall, it shows that, the city of Aachen is seprated by the wall, but it's about 60 years ago, there were people come to broke the wall, and the two cities join together to become the Aachen now. this story is told by one old man who lives around there.




 Those pictures are all about the journey to the city of Aachen, I had been to the church, muesum and so on.


And it was Sunday, I have nothing much to do, just went out for fun, and playing around with the jump shoes.
That's for my whole week, thanks for reading.
