Bank Business After my first week as an intern, I'm enjoying my weekend off now. Yesterday I went to the bank to open my account. That was a bit complicated. Because at first they didn't want to accept my passport because of the ß in my name. I tried to explain but they didn't get it until they called some headquarter person to ask if they can put ss instead. Jesus. But in the end it was fine and now I have my account. Woohoo. I didn't know that opening an acco...

Hello again, I just realized that it is 07/07 today. Four years ago the London tube was bombed by terrorists. Today they unveiled a memorial in Hyde Park. I'm gonna go there this weekend because I still remember that day very clearly. It's one of those days of which you will always remember what you did.

Ready for Departure: I just finished packing all my stuff into my 2 suitcases and handluggage. Only 4kilo overweight - wooohooo me. But isn't it also sad to see that you can put all your belongings in two suitcases? Guess I'm not the material girl then hehe. Tonight I'll be leaving for London then from Cologne Airport and I hope that I can convince the guys at the check.in desk that 4 kilo is not that much with my puppy dog eyes :D Friday will be quite busy ...
