Towards Stuttgart

As previously mentioned: I said good-bye to Munich as I had to I move to my new internship in Stuttgart. Hard time saying bye to my beloved friends and dear places...
Lots of great memories and learning experiences.

I feel I am almost another person that the one who arrived in Germany in last middle of October! One friend of mine right after I arrived read the palm of my hand and predicted this experience will be one that would really change me and my way of thinking.
Well - he was right!

Besides my friends i have to say a big thanks to AIESEC Munich memebrs and trainees - they have become my friends too over time and would not have made it without their contsant support and affection!

AIESEC Muenchen ruuuuleeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, new place, new people, new job - confused me!!!!! Verrrrry confused in my first days around here! But on the other hand it's so interesting to notice all my new feelings and moods and reactions to all that is new!

I am an HP intern now and I actually live in Stuttgart (quite close to city center) but work in Boeblingen, some 30 minutes by train to the South West of the city.

My internship is quite a nice one: learning new things every day, challenging and interesting. Not to mention the great colleagues and boss I have!!!
On my very first day I got a chherful coffe mug with a sunflower drawn on it + some sweets. So they said: the only thing I need in HP is energy and coffee. Yuuupppiieeeeeee!!!!!!!

So one month ago I moved to Stuttgart. MAy 16th.
And, as any experienced AIESEC memebr, I could not let it pass like just any other ordinary day. So I organized a whole trip.

Eight 8 people from AIESEC Munich in 2 cars "delivered" me to my new house. A "Spontaneous Reception Activity" as they called it in the meeting afterwards members of AIESEC Stuttgart :)
Great job guys - I really appreciate your support + carrying my luggage 3 floors up the stairs to my room.

After the delivery we visited the city center of Stuttgart and then went for a trip to the nearby Esslingen to have a look at the local flavour, food, drinks and architecture.
Wonderful!

Even if the "Maultaschen" were quite hard to digest (translation word-by-word: "pockets for the mouth"). The Maultaschen are a sort of dough filled with a little bit spicy meat (I'll tell you more about THE REAL spices when we talk about Indian and Pakistani food!).

But it is the same feeling when one eats the Bavarian "Kaese Spatzle" for the first time.They are usually (and best) home-made of flour and eggs using a special kitche-tool and end up after boiling like spaghetti cut short, just a bit thicker. People in Bavaria eat them with cheese and fried onion ring on top.


Both Maultaschen and Spaetzle go with a "mass" of beer.
Mass is the absolute minimum quatity of beer acceptable to be drunk by a grown-up person in Southern Germany. And 1 Mass= 1 Liter!
Welcome to the land of beer!

But getting more to the "human" side :)

Cecile, Pascal, Alex and Damon were my new colleagues.
First two from France, last 2 from Canada.
On the way to today's story, Alex left Germany and Damon moved away, closer to HP, as he's also an intern there. And we got a new flat-mate: Mateo from Brazil, trainee in Bosch but not with AIESEC. He makes the BEST CAIPIRINHA I have ever had!!! No kidding.

So, one Mateo the Polish as flatmate in Munich (Gruess Gott Mateuszko!!!) and one as flatmate in Stuttgart (Bon Dia!)

The apartment is huuuuuuge: 5 bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
One could turn a truck inside if it hadn't been for the walls.

The livingroom is our favourite room: right opposite to kitchen, we always have dinner there during week-days and have great times in week-ends.
More details? No, I guess you just have to come and see :)

Und ich freue mich auf ihre Besuch!
Meaning: I'll be happy to get your visit!
