9th week(11.2-11.8)

This is the 9th week for my internship in Germany.

In this week, there are also no much things special, but the teammates of mine are coming back soon, some of them will reach germany in this week.

So in this week, my task still like the same, i have to keep calling those companies in China, and get those important information from them. At first I can not understand why i pay so much time to do so. but since I see what the people do for the report, I know that it is a very important task indeed.

On monday,

I wake up very early, and kept calling those companies , some of them are warm, some of them as hear the language they can not understand, they just directly off.

I really have no comment for that. The only thing I should keep, is passion!!

haha```

I keep passion to call back China, and kept speak politely.

On Tuesday,

it's a sunny day, I wake up early as usual.

after i finished my calls, I went to school with jeeva, and I saw this truck, which is used for collecting the rubbish from those rubbish bins.

it reminds me the life in Singapore, wake up in the morning, and walk to school, saw those people are busy in doing there own stuffs, all of them are busy.

finally, all the leaves fell down from the trees covered the whole walking path.

and those trees without leaves are all becoming very empty,and not as beautiful as before.

It's just like life.....

today, I went to school after I finished my calls, as I walked out of the university's building, i found that the sky was really damn fantastic. i can not stop myself from taking pics.

On wednesday,

I went to the school's report office, those are three of the report writers, they have a big office and about 6 computers to do this job. the guy on the left, he is stefan, who is the report manager.

as you can see from the computer screen, we care making phone calls through Skype....

Am I looked like a office guy?``haha`````It remind my life in SSC(student service center), so I got familiar to do those kind of jobs.

On Thursday,

since I called those companies till 4am+, I can not wake up very early today,

so I just went downstairs to have a simple lunch, half spring chicken. like the one in canteen 4.

and the price also quite similar.

haha

This is the time as i finished my German class, at 5pm, when it's 5pm, the sky is becoming very dark. like 7-8pm in Singapore.

On friday,

As I went back to the project room, I found that there are some people have fully dismantled the car, they are doing a project of that car.

 but it's not solar car.

The motor is not electrical motor either. but I still can get some information from them. it shows that how does germany become the kingdom of automobile .

Here moves to Saturday ,

today I went for a soccer match, and the ticket is free for me, because it's a gift from my friend dawei.

haha

the match is between bochum and another team(sorry i don't know how to spell the name)

he is the guy who treat me this match, and I buy him a beer.hahaha( by the way our tickets are free, he get it from his professor, but it worths 30 Euros)..

it's a not so big but nice stadium. called rewirpower!!haha

Sunday!!!

I went to Luxembourg with my roommates ,silivana and jeeva.

it's a nice and typical europe country, but it's not big, it's a country and a city. like Singapore.

this is my trip to Luxembourg.

those are some introduction about this country.

Luxembourg is a parliamentary representative democracy with a constitutional monarch; it is ruled by a Grand Duke. It is the world's only remaining sovereign Grand Duchy. The country has a highly developed economy, with the highest Gross Domestic Product per capita in the world as per IMF and WB. Its historic and strategic importance dates back to its founding as a Roman era fortress site and Frankish count's castle site in the Early Middle Ages. It was an important bastion along the Spanish road when Spain was the principal European power influencing the whole western hemisphere and beyond in the 16th–17th centuries

Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Union, NATO, OECD, the United Nations, Benelux, and the Western European Union, reflecting the political consensus in favour of economic, political, and military integration. The city of Luxembourg, the capital and largest city, is the seat of several institutions and agencies of the European Union.


Luxembourg lies on the cultural divide between Romance Europe and Germanic Europe, borrowing customs from each of the distinct traditions. Luxembourg is a trilingual country; German, French and Luxembourgish are official languages. Although a secular state, Luxembourg is predominantly Roman Catholic.

Week 8 Report

In this week, have a very bad luck. because my computer crash in the last weekend. and all my data gone. include my bi-monthly report. I really want to cry for that already.

As everything looks over for me, but I suddenly find that, I have backup my pictures in my hard disk, so I still have hope for my life.
ah`````````I have to redo all the stuffs`````
god bless me.
So let's start the journey for this week.

On Monday, I reformat my laptop and start to redo my bi-monthly report from the beginning.
everything is fuck up. really 3000 words report. OMG. but luckily, my supervisor understand me, and allow me to delay for a while. I really appreciate for that.

On Tuesday, I went to the school, and continue to make phone calls to China companies. while I also focus on my bi-monthly report. and I think I will keep repeating this kind of life for a long time a ready. but through I called the China company, I find that the fee for the telephone might be very very expensive. so I went to the professor to apply for a skype account, so that it could save money for the school. at the same time I may so call those companies at home.

On Wednesday, I kept repeating my works which I did yesterday, calling companies and writing report. but today, I have apply for a new skype account for the solar car team. so that I could use this account to call overseas at a very low price.

On Thursday, I went for a germany language class and write report. as the halloween is coming, I also went to the supermarket for buying some stuffs for this festival, like face painting.

so that day, I stay till 4 am for making the phone calls, so I could sleep longer in the morning instead of waking up at 6&7 am again.

every time as I call the 0086, the national flag of republic of China will come out, it really makes me feel like I'm calling home.

but it's not. there are al so some funny stories about making the phone calls.

At first I call back China, I used the Mandarin to talk. but the people who answer the calls do not believe I was calling from Germany, They thought I was a spy and trying to steal some information from their company.

Or I was from those competitor companies.

So, I have to spend a long time explain my purpose and let them trust me.

after that, I use english to speak with them as i start to talk with those chinese companies first, then they can not understand, so i change to Chinese. in this way, they believe that this call is from other countries at least.

haha

On Friday ,I wake up at 11am, because of I slept too late last night.

so I just went to school as usual to meet the report manager Stefan. So that I could pass him those survey I had done.

< those a few pics were taken by me in the Ruhr University, it was really amazing about the season call Autumn!!!!it's really colorful and full of yellow>

Those pictures were taken at night, it's the halloween eve night party, I went to the party and paint my face like this, hahaha```all the people got crazy!!! it's really very funny.

Here comes to the weekend,
On Sat,
we went to a city called Muster for playing, because we can travel in the whole state(NRW) for free, no matter by train or bus. So, we just try to visit all the cities.
It was really nice and cheap!
HAHA

as i told u, I really love the season, it's full of leaves and memories.

< we are in a sweet shop, but unluckily we never buy anything, because it was too expensive for us>

< at noon, we are very tired, so we just took a rest about 30min in a very beautiful church>

< I took a skate board to go here and there>

< we are really very lucky that we got the wonderful moment of sunset>

Today, I was really very tired, but happy.

On Sunday,

I went to the captain city of holland!

Amsterdam!!!

at first as I saw the national flag of Holland, I thought I was France. haha

but after a while i found that it's different.

it is really a nice city which is very famous for shipping and something others.

and the most important is "it's the hometown of 'Vincent van Gogh'!"

now we are on the ship to travel around the amsterdam for 1 hr.

this time we travel with 3 people Dawei( a Chinese guy who is studying in bochum), Jeeva( my partner)and I.

< as we see, there are a lot beautiful houses along the river are very expensive. by right the people will never spend so much money for building such a expensive house, but the government paid 70% prices of the house as subsidy, so that the wonderful city could keep this kind of typical buildings as a attraction for the tour attraction>

this is a very famous bridge, if you like Van Gogh, I may scream for this bridge, because this bridge got appear on his painting more than once.

BUT, if you are fan of Van Gogh, I may be very excited. because I went to the Van Gogh Museum on that day!!!!!

hahahaha!!!this is Van Gogh's museum!!!the paintings are really very amazing!!!!! my tears even came out as I saw the sign of him!!!

But, unluckily it's not allowed to take pics inside the museum.

I bought a painting from the museum!!!!!!!I love it so much!!!!!!

even the weather of Amsterdam is not so good on that day!!!

but because of van Gogh, it becomes very amazing!!!

SO, This is my 8th week, because of my laptop crash, I have to delay the time of posting.

sorry about that.
