Germanization

Weather in Hannover is getting spring-ed. Trees start to grow leaves und mein Deustche is getting better and better...On my birthday, I got a German dictionary present. I have been carrying it around when I need to converse in Deutsche. Overall, the company is very supportive in helping the employees to learn Deutsche.

As spring comes, everything just looks lovely. The sky is bright by 5.30 am and that encourages me to wake up early. I hope the weather is not getting too hot. Yesterday, When I was in the tram heading home at 5.15 pm, the sunlight was scorching...Unbelievably hot. Back to work...

Still looking good

My decision to work in Germany turned out to be a pretty good one, well based on my current job and responsibilities...still looking good. I found out that I am considered quite young among the new trainees. Most of them are already 28 or 29...

I went to Lousado last week for business trip. Lousado is an industrial town in Portugal. I was recommended to stay in a hotel in Porto. The hotel name is Boa Vista. It's a nice hotel facing the Atlantic Ocean and I got a chance to watch the sun set. But it would be greater if I can watch with someone else together, right? Too lonely, huh? Well, not really for a business trip. The old town of Porto was amazingly beautiful in the evening...I think I will go back there again in the future with someone. I took Air Berlin to get there, and it turned out that AirBerlin is a nice low budget airline, nice compared to any US airlines. Also, as you know, Porto is famous for it's Porto wine. So, I bought myself a 10 years old porto red wine...It tastes superb, heck care about my alcohol allergy.

Pissed or is it her culture?

I was pissed for 300 seconds yesterday. I guess when I am pissed, the person who pissed me will get into my permanent blacklist...Can't help myself to get angry. Don't make me too powerful, or you will suffer in the future!

Anyway, I was talking to my company's employee (not my colleague though) while we were walking towards the tram in an interchange station. We were talking and talking and talking and then...suddenly she (not German, but from mainland China) just walked away from me and talked to her male colleague who was standing and waiting for the number 4. And she didn't even want to intro me to her colleague. Can you imagine how pissed I was? Does that mean she wasn't even listening to my talking. I reassured you that I didn't talk crap to her and I wasn't chippy at all. I felt insulted, I felt being looked down. I know she joined the company earlier and had just completed the training program, and I just joined for 1.25 months and haven't even started my training program, but blardi ass****, she doesn't have higher position than me. She just lost my respect!
