what else?

for those who didnt understand the last post: our house in leipzig burned down. it didnt burn in our flat, but it was full of water. seems that today the roof fell down to the 3. floor. we cant get furniture or things out, it will last two weeks until they can get into - through the windows - to get the most important things. so its really fucking shit. and although i think a lot of my flatmates who have a lot more problems than i have now i cant do much. its strange but here everything seems to go on normal.


some days ago i got a lesson in italian bureaucracy, or just call it stupidness. stupido!! i went to the swimmingpool communale to find out how much it is to go swimming. i dont want to loose my muscles, nici admires them so much!
BUT i learned italy is even worse in some things than germany is. in germany you can just go, pay 3 euros, swim and leave again.
here its impossible just to come and swim for myself. i have to join lessons. that means: i have to come when a lesson starts (they told me to come at 12:40 with the adults who cant swim very good. thanks) and that means i have to pay for the lessons. 25 euros once and 25 euros per month to come 3x a week. but thats not all. i have to bring a medical attest and 2 pictures. and if you want to swim, no sorry i mean take lessons on other days, please pay 1,85 each time. is that complicated or no??
so obviously no sports for me here in cagliari, except perhaps extreme-up-the-hill-walking to university.

at least a bird gave me a nice present the same day and dropped a wet peice of bread that fell against my window and let a nice splash of tiny pieces everywhere. first food donation arrived though. thanks.

what else? i found michael endes "neverending story" very cheap and in italiano and started reading it. of course there are many words i dont understand, but its quite ok. and its so strange how i remember certain scenes. as children we had a tape of it and of some parts i still know what the exact german words were and how the voices sounded. other scenes are more difficult to read cause i really dont remember them. does anyone still know how atreju meets fuchur and who ygramul was???

and what else - we, thats joanne, nici, joannes collegue claire and me - went to a salsa cubana dance class yesterday night to have a free lesson. was funny and we are all going to start that class, twice a week. (could i call that sports?)

and tonight we will go to naples - napoli - neapel. we are going to live with nicis aunt and her family for some days, and then perhaps in a small rustical house in a small rustical village in the mountains. we have some days off next week (and take some other daus off) and return friday morning, so it will be nearly one week - and hopefully i am going to meet felix, anna and perhaps christopher again who is also coming to naples this weekend. crazy people i'm cominnnggg :)
