The sky was beautifully blue during my first week here.

My special model - Love her hair :))

Now it’s cloudy and dark. Sometimes the rain comes, like this afternoon. I was pretty cold when going to the bus stop and suddenly feel like being far away from… everything.

I miss the blue sky.

And miss someone a lot…

1st day in Offenbach

I arrived Frankfurt early in the morning (7am?). No one received me at the airport. Took cab to the hotel in Offenbach.

Resting for few hours, I went out, looking for foods, supermarket, bus to the company, train station, etc…

Walking out of the hotel

Friedhofstraße

I thought this is the wrong path and turned away, but the bus stop is just near there 🙁

And this is the wrong way, but I thought the bus stop is on this road. Walked for 30′ I guess.

Luckily, German guy helped me out. Problems were solved in 10′, including buying my prepaid sim card. Here is the center area of Offenbach, where I can find internet cafe, supermarket, etc…

Hmm… due to limited internet access, have to blog quick. Bye bye, haha =))

I went back to the hotel with “clouds over my head”. Not much progress in my work for days and many things need to be planned and prepared.

I’ve been in Germany for a week. My normal day starts with cooking breakfast at 7am, doing exercise in my room, then going to the institute by bus. After a day of work, I get back to the room at about 6h45pm, cooking my dinner (again), then eating, washing dishes and… watching Friends or TV as I have no Internet in my room. It’s pretty boring, for sure. Offenbach seems to be a small city, so quiet and so peaceful that you will find streets are already empty after 9h30pm.

Somehow today I want to break this routine. I set up light. Find the angle and put camera on the tripod. Must say that my room here is nice (hmm… very nice, for two people, I wish). Have some fun. Here are the results.

Man at work =))

In the end, I have my dinner at 11hpm and go to sleep at 2h on the next day. But I feel good and that’s all I need for now.
