turbulent weeks

The last weeks were quite turbulent. Lots of engagement any way. I met Tamara and Ingrid from Brazil, helped with university stuff and showed just a little bit nightlife of Halle. For that reason I slept less than 6 hour per night and I feel tired. I organized 3 free tickets for opera in Halle but I decided not to go... I just want to have one day (saturday) off this weekend. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I have to work in Leipzig. Last week I asked for information about my planned "work and travel" year in Australia in examination office. They said I can get a vacation semester for practical training or abroad studies. But I want to work and travel!!! I think there will be a stony way to my goal. Consequently I will be absent in my university for one year and try to write as much exams as I can till next year.
Before 2 days I got in contact with a journalist for the MDR - a local TV/Radio company - maybe in future there will be a report over the hospitalityclub.org in Halle!??! :)

Some of you asked me about my plans over New Year. But I still flying to Riga/Latvia over New Year.
By the way there we develop quite interesting/funny plan:

extract out of our mailing list:

"plan:
We are still working on exact program for the camp, so anyone would find something they are interested in.New Year's eve - Carneval Night will be hold at territory of secondary school at the center of Riga (aprox. 15 minutes on foot from Old Riga);There are kitchen fascilities, what we probably will use (in case we wont find a good offer from some company who could server tables for us); There will be opportunity to use showers, sauna and even swimming pool;There will be little stage for live music and/or DJ to work;There will be fireworks for free (as we will be in the city center;Even though the school is situated at the center of the city, it has enough bit outside territory with a lot of snow, so Snowman Challange wont be forgotten;For rest of the days we are planning:
so called 'pub/club tour';
rides on bobsley track;
ice-skating at Lido center;
snowboarding / skiiing at some local mountain;
charity event - 'make these Christmas warmer for the poor ones';
walk on frozen sea (if the weather will allow)"

Here are the promised 2 picture for you Tamara.
