22nd October 2005 - Day 19

As was said yesterday, I went to visit the Flohmarkt. But I overslept and woke up a bit late. Since the place is near where Autumn is staying, I went over to his hostel to meet him first.

The Wohnheim in Nancystraße looks new. Unlike the hostel where I'm staying at (Some people commented that it looks like a ghetto). They have newer furnitures too. But the room is not as big as the one here. But I'm happy that I'm staying here. It's like a hotel room for me. No kidding.

Here are some photos which I took at the Flohmarkt.

They sell toys, handphone accessories...

clothes...

fresh produce...

but not cars.

Nothing much of interest for them

We couldn't find anything that we wanted, so we went back empty handed. Then we went to Europaplatz for lunch. Much to my surprise, the Postbank was still opened. So I went in and told them the stupid thing I did yesterday and asked them to reset the password for me.

Lunch was at this Asia Snack Shop. I had some simple fried noodles that costed 2.90€. I vaguely remember that the same type of noodles cost 30-40 Baht in Thailand. Next time, I shall try frying some noodles myself.

We went to waste out time walking along Kaiserstraße. Originally, we wanted to have a cup of coffee, but we ended up eating ice cream.

Then we came to this playground outside a Kirche.

Oops. Too slow.

Nothing much happened after that. I went back to hostel. On my way back, I just felt that Herbst is already here.

The leaves are turning yellow

Dinner was a disaster waiting to happened. This time round, I took out the meat early to thaw. So no problems with the microwave oven.

I sort of marinated the chicken with sesame oil, salt, pepper, and a bit of sugar. After doing that, I realised that I should have cut the chicken into slices first. Wonderful.

Nothing terrible happened though. I stirred-fried the chicken with some Salat using the Sonnenblumenöl that I shamelessly stole from my floormate.

The dish turned out quite alright. So did the rice. But I think it would have been better if I had some light soya sauce. Or marinated the chicken longer. Na ja, beginner's luck that it was edible.

Stefan (yet another floormate), made some Milchreis. It was supposedly a dessert and it tasted quite nice too. Not too sweet. But it reminded me of Quaker Oatmeal.

Have you seen him?

So, what shall I do tomorrow?
