19th December 2005 - Day 77

It seems that after countless brainwashing sessions by the people here. I have finally succumbed.

I met one of my classmates in my German language course on the bus. He asked me again where I came from as he has forgotten.

"Taiwan? Oder?", he asked.

"China."

With that, I've just became a Chinaman.

I feel so ashamed of myself. Ich komme doch aus Kuching-pura! Now the french guy won't register that inside his head.

I must say. I'm quite amused that I actually said that I'm from China. You see now what a weekend of doing nothing has got me into?

Maybe it's a cumulative effect.

After lessons today, I went to the Stadtmitte to get my light bulbs. I got two 100 Watts light bulbs, like I said I will. Now my room is much much brighter. No more headaches.

There was another Flurversammlung today. The topic of discussion: What colour to paint the walls with. Since I'm a short time resident here, I didn't have any comments on that. Though I prefer the colour it is now - white. Most likely I won't be around when they do the painting.

So, viel Spaß to them.
