Es ist zwar nur sehr klein, setzt aber evtl. updates von Microsoft voraus, so dass es nur auf aktuellen Systemen laufen wird. Im Verzeichnis gibt es eine Textdatei (vocis.txt), in der die Worte enthalten sind. Ihr könnt sie also einfach austauschen. Probiert es einfach mal aus .-) Am 26.10.2008 ist der diesjährige Marathon in Luzern. Das ist doch ein guter Grund, Luzern einen Besuch abzustatten? Es ist ein sehr schöner Marathon und mit aktuell 6000 angemeldeten Teilnehmern auch nicht so überfüllt. Die Homepage mit mehr Informationen ist hier: http://www.lucernemarathon.ch/Stephan Wiesner beim Marathon in Luzern 2007 Stephan Wiesner nach dem Marathon in Basel 2006 - leicht dehydriert .-) Galgenmännchen, Galgenraten oder auch Galgenmann oder einfach auch Galgen und englisch hangman ist ein einfaches Buchstabenspiel. [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galgenraten] Erst mit den Ausgrabungen an historischer Stelle in Marathon, bei denen 1890 ein Hügel mit den Gräbern der gefallenen Athener von der Schlacht von Marathon freigelegt wurde, kam die Legende über Pheidippides wieder in Erinnerung. Der Sprachwissenschaftler Michel Bréal besuchte bei einer Griechenlandreise diesen Ort. Als er dann 1894 dem Olympischen Kongress in Paris beiwohnte, wuchs in ihm die Idee, den legendären Lauf des Pheidippides im Rahmen der für 1896 geplanten Olympischen Spiele von Athen als Wettkampf aufleben zu lassen. Mit einem Brief teilte er seinem Freund, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, dem Begründer des Internationalen Olympischen Komitees (IOC), seine Idee mit. Der Sieger sollte einen von ihm gestifteten Pokal erhalten. Nach einigem Zögern stimmte man der Idee zu, und so wurde der Olympische Marathon 1896 von Athen der erste organisierte Marathonlauf.

In Honduras auf Utila habe ich meine Tauchkurse im   &lt;a href="http://www.utiladivecentre.com/"&gt;Utila Dive Center&lt;/a&gt; mit &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PayPal &lt;/span&gt;bezahlt. Sehr komfortabel. Dachte ich jedenfalls. Brauchte kein Bargeld mit mir rumschleppen, hatte einen guten Wechselkurs (und leider die ueblichen hohen PayPal Gebuehren).&lt;br /&gt;Leider ist jetzt mein Konto gesperrt, weil PayPal denkt, es haette einen Missbrauch gegeben. Zu meinem Schutz, versteht sich. Leider habe ich aber von hier aus nicht die Moeglichkeit mich wieder freischalten zu lassen, da sie alle moeglichen Informationen, wie z.B. eine Bestaetigung vom Einwohnermeldeamt wollen.&lt;br /&gt;Schlimm ist aber vor allem, dass sie nicht reagieren. Seit einer Woche versuche ich sie zu erreichen, aber sie reagieren nicht auf meine Mails. Ganz &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;schlechter Kundendienst von PayPal&lt;/span&gt;! Die Tauchschule moechte natuerlich ihr Geld haben, aber ich habe es ja jetzt auch nicht mehr. Damn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ansonsten habe ich hier aber eine tolle Zeit und geniesse meine letzten beiden Wochen in Antigua. Morgen geht es fuer zwei Tage an den Pazifik, nach Monterrico...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ObmUyQo5fp8/SDN3IZibXPI/AAAAAAAACtc/XGgcvWI3bgQ/s1600-h/_DSC0458.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ObmUyQo5fp8/SDN3IZibXPI/AAAAAAAACtc/XGgcvWI3bgQ/s320/_DSC0458.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202632980720999666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I paid my scuba diving on Utila with PayPal. Seemed quite comfortable to me. Now they blocked my account, though, thinking that somebody hacked it. For my security. The bad thing is, though, that I can not reopen the account and they do not react to my mails. For a week now. The diving school of course wants it's money, which I do not have anymore. Very bad customer service from PayPal :-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise I do have a great time, though and will travel for two days to the pacific tomorrow...&lt;br /&gt;Stephan Wiesner&lt;br /&gt;20.05.2008&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Use this free podcast to learn to speak German.

Outdoor Excursions&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.guatemalavolcano.com/"&gt;http://www.guatemalavolcano.com/&lt;/a&gt;). The &lt;strong&gt;Acatenango&lt;/strong&gt; is supposed to be the most difficult volcano in central america. However, I found it very easy. Technically that is. The hike (die Wanderung) in thin air with a big bagback (der Rucksack) is a different story, though . . .&lt;br /&gt;There is a good trail (der Pfad) leading up to the top and you could hike it in sneakers (though I recommend hiking boots).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191803533552194658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ObmUyQo5fp8/SAz9znD_FGI/AAAAAAAACig/Upk1T1ZGfRc/s400/_DSC0646.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We slept at 13000 feets and had a perfect sunrise (der Sonnenaufgang). The view is fantastic and the guide from O. X., an adventure outfit from Antigua, really did a good job. He made quite an effort to get us comfortable and the trip was not expensive at all (79$ including food and equipment). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191803722530755698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ObmUyQo5fp8/SAz9-nD_FHI/AAAAAAAACio/FJK4x9f1NZs/s400/_DSC0665.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;However: Most of us really suffered from the altitude (die Hoehenkrankheit). Going from 1500m to 4000m and sleeping there in only one day really does not make sense. So, if you are not used to the height, you might prefer the daytrip or do another volcano a few days before to get used to it...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One final tip: Bring plenty of water. O.X. provides excellent food, but the recomended 4.5 litres might not last on hot days...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A sad side note: While we watched the sunrise some teenagers stole three of our bagpacks. Imaging that: At 13000 feet some youngsters steal your empty bagback! As beautiful as Guatemala is, sometimes it can be, well, you know what I mean. The good thing is, that the police really made an effort to find the kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My new plan is that I will most likely spend two more weeks here working on my spanish. Afterwards I will travel on to Honduras to do a diving course (der Tauchkurs). Something I have never done before but really would like to try...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Greetings from Antigua,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stephan&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;21.04.2008&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Use this free podcast to learn to speak German.

Der Name Guatemala leitet sich vom &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolteken" title="Tolteken"&gt;toltekischen&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl" title="Nahuatl"&gt;Nahuatl&lt;/a&gt;-) Wort &lt;i&gt;Cuauhtemallan&lt;/i&gt; ab, was soviel wie 'Erde der Bäume verrottet' bedeutet.

Guatemala hat zwei Küsten, im Osten einen schmalen Zugang zum &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karibik" title="Karibik"&gt;Karibischen Meer&lt;/a&gt; und im Südwesten die &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pazifik" class="mw-redirect" title="Pazifik"&gt;Pazifikküste&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Der nordöstliche Teil, El Petén, ist Tiefland mit fast durchgehendem tropischen Regenwald.

Wegen der Lage zwischen 1.300 und 1.800 Metern über dem Meer, herrscht fast das ganze Jahr über ein mildes Klima mit Tagestemperaturen zwischen 18 und 28 Grad Celsius.

(Erscheinung, siehe &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphanias" title="Epiphanias"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_71"&gt;Epiphanias&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) und bedeutet die Ankunft, Anwesenheit, Besuch eines Amtsträgers, insbesondere die Ankunft von &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nig" title="König"&gt;Königen&lt;/a&gt; oder &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser" title="Kaiser"&gt;Kaisern&lt;/a&gt;. Es konnte aber auch die Ankunft der Gottheit im &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempel" title="Tempel"&gt;Tempel&lt;/a&gt; ausdrücken. Dieses Wort übernahmen nun die Christen, um ihre Beziehung zu &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christus" title="Jesus Christus"&gt;Jesus Christus&lt;/a&gt;, dem Sohn Gottes auszusagen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Die Adventszeit war ursprünglich eine &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasten" title="Fasten"&gt;Fastenzeit&lt;/a&gt;, die die &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alte_Kirche" title="Alte Kirche"&gt;Alte Kirche&lt;/a&gt; auf die Tage zwischen dem &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/11._November" title="11.

Januar"&gt;6. Januar&lt;/a&gt; festlegte. Diese acht Wochen ergeben abzüglich der fastenfreien &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_74"&gt;Sonn&lt;/span&gt;- und Samstage insgesamt &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vierzig" title="Vierzig"&gt;vierzig&lt;/a&gt; Tage.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Die Adventszeit geht zurück auf das 7.

Erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier - dann steht das Christkind vor der Tür. [Kinder Reim] Es ist Adventszeit, Advent season, a good time to spend with your family, to look back to the things that happened during the year and ahead into the next one. This is especially true for me, as I am looking for a new job again. Things really did not work out with the team and the job was not what I expected and, ja, a lot of reasons. Anyway, Test Managers are asked at the moment, so it should be possible to find something. Ursprünglich entsprach der Begriff Advent dem griechischen Begriff epiphaneia (Erscheinung, siehe Epiphanias) und bedeutet die Ankunft, Anwesenheit, Besuch eines Amtsträgers, insbesondere die Ankunft von Königen oder Kaisern. Es konnte aber auch die Ankunft der Gottheit im Tempel ausdrücken. Dieses Wort übernahmen nun die Christen, um ihre Beziehung zu Jesus Christus, dem Sohn Gottes auszusagen. Die Adventszeit war ursprünglich eine Fastenzeit, die die Alte Kirche auf die Tage zwischen dem 11. November und dem ursprünglichen Weihnachtstermin, dem Erscheinungsfest am 6. Januar festlegte. Diese acht Wochen ergeben abzüglich der fastenfreien Sonn- und Samstage insgesamt vierzig Tage. Die Adventszeit geht zurück auf das 7. Jahrhundert. In der römischen Kirche des Westens gab es zunächst zwischen 4 und 6 Adventssonntage, bis Papst Gregor der Große vier Adventssonntage festlegte; die rechtsverbindliche Regelung erfolgte erst 1570 durch Papst Pius V. Im ambrosianischen Ritus hat sich die sechswöchige Adventszeit bis heute gehalten.

On the picture you can see what I normally eat for breakfast. You can find all you want to know about Brötchen at Wikipedia.de. When asked about his breakfast Toby, a good friend from me, said "brötchen, müsli, böse kellogs oder böse brötchen", he does a lot of sports, too, though. My podcast helps you? Why not support me and donate some dollars, euros, or whatever with PayPal? Its simple, safe and helps me to pay for my equipment.

Zuerst habe ich eine kleine, dicke, schnaufende Frau gesehen. sie war wirklich am Schnaufen. Ohne Ende. Und immer hin und her gegangen. Wohl Hitzewallungen gehabt, die arme. Wahrscheinlich wegen der Hügeligen Lage der Stadt und einem kurzen Fussmarsch. Jedenfalls habe ich mir gedacht „oh nein, die ist Deutsch und so richtig zum Schämen.“ Monika heisst sie und kommt aus Montreux (eigentlich aber St. Gallen und ich habe sehr geschmunzelt, als ich das vernahm) und da sie kein italienisch kann und nur wenig englisch bekommt sie Erklärungen mal auf Deutsch von mir und mal auf Französisch von der Norwegerin Nina. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;Das ist überhaupt das spannendste an der Sache: Ich denke auf Deutsch, rede aber wahlweise auf englisch oder italienisch und höre auch mal französisch oder japanisch. Jedenfalls alles sehr multilinguistisch und spannend. Irgendwie klappt es tatsächlich immer mit der Verständigung.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;Jedenfalls gibt es zur Zeit drei Gru&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;ppen: Null Wissen, Kaum Wissen und der Rest. Ich habe es in die Mittlere Gruppe geschafft (wir sind nur zu viert, was super ist!) und bin dort natürlich das Schlusslicht, jedenfalls wenn es ums Sprechen geht. Aber das ist voll okay. Habe mein Ziel erreicht: Ich muss nicht erneut lernen „mi chiamo Stephan“ (obwohl ich froh war dies zu können). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;Chinchi aus Japan kann kein Englisch, Hans aus Schweden hat ein Haus in Ligurien und lernt italienisch um den Klempner rufen zu können und Manuela aus Zürich hat nen italienischen Freund und lernt Italienisch wegen „l’amore“. Erstaunlich jedenfalls, wie viel ich verstehe, wobei ich nur durchkomme, weil ich die letzten Tage soviel LearnItalianPod-Podcast gehört habe. Edith: Du hättest Deine Freude, wir machen hauptsächlich Grammatik. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;Unsere insegnante (Lehrerin) Mariangela ist genau s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;o, wie man sich eine Italienerin vorstellt. Ende 30, schwarzhaarig, dünn und laut. Sehr laut. Und ich muss die ganze Zeit an S.. denken, wenn ich sie sehe. Wild und hemmungslos. [räusper, zieh die Schultern hoch und setz den Unschuldsblick auf] Hey, da kann ich ja nichts für! Versuche ja mich zu konzentrieren! Ein Gedanke an Monika reicht dann meist um die kalte Dusche zu ersetzen. Die ist jedenfalls echt anstrengend und nach drei Stunden waren wir alle stanco morto (Todmüde). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a name="_Toc153631243"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;Italian Food?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="DE"&gt;Zum Abendbrot habe ich mir einen Fertigsalat gekauft und dazu einen Brokkoli und ein paar Nudeln aus der Region. Nicht wirklich gut, aber billig und nahrhaft. Nur, irgendwie nicht La Dolce Vita, wie man sich das vorstellt. Immerhin, dafür habe ich mir absolut super Kekse (i biscotti) gekauft. Heissen Cavallucci (Seepferdchen, aber vielleicht spinnt mein Wörterbuch auch) und schmecken nach Mehl und Anis und haben genügend Zucker um mich durch den nächsten Marathon zu treiben.

Hans writes from Siena what happens to him at the language school. We hit 200.000 downloads today, wow! With 15$ of donations up to now, that makes 0,000075$ per download. Now that is what I call being part of "The Long Tail" :-) Parlo Italiano? Heute in der Schule waren wir sieben Neue. Zuerst habe ich eine kleine, dicke, schnaufende Frau gesehen. sie war wirklich am Schnaufen. Ohne Ende. Und immer hin und her gegangen. Wohl Hitzewallungen gehabt, die arme. Wahrscheinlich wegen der Hügeligen Lage der Stadt und einem kurzen Fussmarsch. Jedenfalls habe ich mir gedacht „oh nein, die ist Deutsch und so richtig zum Schämen.“ Monika heisst sie und kommt aus Montreux (eigentlich aber St. Gallen und ich habe sehr geschmunzelt, als ich das vernahm) und da sie kein italienisch kann und nur wenig englisch bekommt sie Erklärungen mal auf Deutsch von mir und mal auf Französisch von der Norwegerin Nina. Das ist überhaupt das spannendste an der Sache: Ich denke auf Deutsch, rede aber wahlweise auf englisch oder italienisch und höre auch mal französisch oder japanisch. Jedenfalls alles sehr multilinguistisch und spannend. Irgendwie klappt es tatsächlich immer mit der Verständigung. Jedenfalls gibt es zur Zeit drei Gruppen: Null Wissen, Kaum Wissen und der Rest. Ich habe es in die Mittlere Gruppe geschafft (wir sind nur zu viert, was super ist!) und bin dort natürlich das Schlusslicht, jedenfalls wenn es ums Sprechen geht. Aber das ist voll okay. Habe mein Ziel erreicht: Ich muss nicht erneut lernen „mi chiamo Stephan“ (obwohl ich froh war dies zu können). Chinchi aus Japan kann kein Englisch, Hans aus Schweden hat ein Haus in Ligurien und lernt italienisch um den Klempner rufen zu können und Manuela aus Zürich hat nen italienischen Freund und lernt Italienisch wegen „l’amore“. Erstaunlich jedenfalls, wie viel ich verstehe, wobei ich nur durchkomme, weil ich die letzten Tage soviel LearnItalianPod-Podcast gehört habe. Edith: Du hättest Deine Freude, wir machen hauptsächlich Grammatik. Unsere insegnante (Lehrerin) Mariangela ist genau s o, wie man sich eine Italienerin vorstellt. Ende 30, schwarzhaarig, dünn und laut. Sehr laut. Und ich muss die ganze Zeit an S.. denken, wenn ich sie sehe. Wild und hemmungslos. [räusper, zieh die Schultern hoch und setz den Unschuldsblick auf] Hey, da kann ich ja nichts für! Versuche ja mich zu konzentrieren! Ein Gedanke an Monika reicht dann meist um die kalte Dusche zu ersetzen. Die ist jedenfalls echt anstrengend und nach drei Stunden waren wir alle stanco morto (Todmüde). Italian Food? Zum Abendbrot habe ich mir einen Fertigsalat gekauft und dazu einen Brokkoli und ein paar Nudeln aus der Region. Nicht wirklich gut, aber billig und nahrhaft. Nur, irgendwie nicht La Dolce Vita, wie man sich das vorstellt. Immerhin, dafür habe ich mir absolut super Kekse (i biscotti) gekauft. Heissen Cavallucci (Seepferdchen, aber vielleicht spinnt mein Wörterbuch auch) und schmecken nach Mehl und Anis und haben genügend Zucker um mich durch den nächsten Marathon zu treiben. Wie gesag t, sehr gut, wie ich gerade merke auch zu Wein. La città di Siena So, zum Abschluss noch was zur Stadt. Das wichtigste zuerst: Sie hat genau die richtige Grösse für mich. Am ersten Abend habe ich mich im Dunkeln und Regen ein wenig verlaufen, aber das ge ht eigentlich gar nicht wirklich, weil sie von einer Mauer umgeben ist und man schnell wohin kommt, wo man schon mal war.

Hans is in a language school in Italy for two weeks and wants to learn Italian there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das beste zuerst: Ich bin saufroh [very happy], dass ich mir für die Reise noch so einen schickes Kapuzenjäckchen [slang for jacket with a hood] geleistet habe. Es ist nämlich kälter hier als bei euch! Und die Regenjacke (l'impermeabile) [rain jacket] brauchte ich auch schon am ersten Abend. Und in der Bude [slang for appartement] funktioniert die Heizung nur manchmal, bin mir noch nicht sicher wann, aber glaube Stephane hat da die Finger drin.&lt;br /&gt;Mhmh, ich probiere gerade meinen ersten Schluck Chianti Classico [the famous wine of Tuscany] (ohne Classico und schwarzen Hahn ist er nicht original). Im kleinen Wasserglas, weil mehr hat es hier nicht. Der ist jedenfalls ganz ordentlich der lokale Tropfen [„drop“, slang for booze] und mit 13,5% wird er mich ja schnell wärmen [nimm gleich noch nen Schluck und schmatz mit den Lippen].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aber Hallo erstmal, liebe Freunde. Ich schicke euch einfach mal einen kurzen (okay, streiche kurz) Reisebericht aus der schönen Toskana. Heutzutage hat man natürlich einen Wireless Internet Point in der Schule, wenn ich den Lappy [slang for notebook] mitschleppe kann ich also von euch hören (und freue mich drüber!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Andiamo in treno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Anreise verlief super.  Die Zeit verging dank gutem Buch und meinem neuen IPod wie im Fluge. Nur in Mailand kamen wir mit Verspätung an und ich musste auf den anderen Zug rennen und bin zum Zug nach Venezia gesprungen.

Hans is in a language school in Italy for two weeks and wants to learn Italian there. Das beste zuerst: Ich bin saufroh [very happy], dass ich mir für die Reise noch so einen schickes Kapuzenjäckchen [slang for jacket with a hood] geleistet habe. Es ist nämlich kälter hier als bei euch! Und die Regenjacke (l'impermeabile) [rain jacket] brauchte ich auch schon am ersten Abend. Und in der Bude [slang for appartement] funktioniert die Heizung nur manchmal, bin mir noch nicht sicher wann, aber glaube Stephane hat da die Finger drin. Mhmh, ich probiere gerade meinen ersten Schluck Chianti Classico [the famous wine of Tuscany] (ohne Classico und schwarzen Hahn ist er nicht original). Im kleinen Wasserglas, weil mehr hat es hier nicht. Der ist jedenfalls ganz ordentlich der lokale Tropfen [„drop“, slang for booze] und mit 13,5% wird er mich ja schnell wärmen [nimm gleich noch nen Schluck und schmatz mit den Lippen]. Aber Hallo erstmal, liebe Freunde. Ich schicke euch einfach mal einen kurzen (okay, streiche kurz) Reisebericht aus der schönen Toskana. Heutzutage hat man natürlich einen Wireless Internet Point in der Schule, wenn ich den Lappy [slang for notebook] mitschleppe kann ich also von euch hören (und freue mich drüber!). Andiamo in treno Die Anreise verlief super. Die Zeit verging dank gutem Buch und meinem neuen IPod wie im Fluge. Nur in Mailand kamen wir mit Verspätung an und ich musste auf den anderen Zug rennen und bin zum Zug nach Venezia gesprungen. Wohl weil ich Donna Leone gelesen habe und ihre Bücher dort spielen.

The thing I like most about hotels is: breakfast (das Frühstück). As an athlete I eat good breakfasts and love to have variety.&lt;br /&gt;My Frühstück today was a disappointment, however. No fresh cheese or sausage at all, no eggs, only a small cup of coffee and just two kinds of cereals. Guess I will try another hotel next week.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, when I sat there reading the local newspaper and eating my bread another man came in. He stood a moment in the entry, like everybody on his first morning in a new hotel: Trying to find out how things work. Where are the plates, where is the bread, those kind of things. &lt;br /&gt;He then went to the table and took a long look at the offered food and went straight to the kitchen and demanded butter (die Butter) instead of the offered margarine (die Margarine).&lt;br /&gt;I won’t comment on that.&lt;br /&gt;I do have to confess however, that I stole a yoghurt (der Jogurt) for my second breakfast. &lt;br /&gt;With that I wish you a nice day,&lt;br /&gt;Stephan&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Use this free podcast to learn to speak German.

He looked quite respectable with a white shirt and tie and was browsing through some papers. The typical Excel style business report with lots of bar charts.&lt;br /&gt;Nothing special about him. But he hid one page and kept flipping back to it and right away again. I could not clearly see what exactly was on it, but it was the picture of a woman. Maybe his wife or daughter? But why did he hide it like that? And something was not quite right with the picture, though I could not put my finger on it. It had an evil touch. Probably only my imagination. &lt;br /&gt;Still it keeps me wondering. Who was she and what was it that disturbed me so? The picture was too dark for her to be naked, was she bound and gagged? Did she look frightened and my sub consciousness registered it? &lt;br /&gt;I do not know and nor will I ever and maybe that is just a sign for me to stop reading thrillers late at night.&lt;br /&gt;Those were my thoughts for today, now it is back to some testing and trying to get commitments from our developers. And a large cup of coffee, going by train in the morning always makes me tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish you a day as wonderful as the weather here in Bern today.&lt;br /&gt;Stephan&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Use this free podcast to learn to speak German.
