Brazilian house and beer in red



After still not having slept even once 7,5 hours straight in Paris and worsening the average time a bit with 5 hours of sleep, after courses finished and after I retrieved my luggage from my friend’s storehouse I finally headed towards my place of living for the next months, la maison du Brésil (the Brazilian house).


Explanation: I applied for a room at the Swiss house of CIUP (abbreviation of Cité International Universitaire de Paris, a dormitory-like campus for master and doctor students and researchers) and got accepted but I was chosen to be a participant of the exchange program between the houses of CIUP and I chose in favour of the Brazilian house instead of the house of the USA. Pictures available on this web site.

Thursday's update: After the first night I had a terrible neck ache because of my unusual pillow. It still hurts while I'm writing this. In the evening there was a piano concert at the Brazilian house I participated in only as a part of the audience (after 10 years of not playing the piano I wouldn't dare to state that I can play the piano). During the concert I met a girl, then two of her friends, then we went to have some beer somewhere downtown (I'm still not sure where we were exactly). I had a hard time to tell which beer I prefer more, a red beer or a somewhat sweetened red beer. By the way, I just noticed that the beer matches my shirt!


At the suburb train station I couldn't believe what I saw at first but there were indeed several equations on the wall of the station. They were about the interdependency of many factors in the context of climate change. Here two examples.



While going home...of course I took the suburb train going into the wrong direction, why would I've chosen the right one anyway? It took me 2 hours instead of 30 minutes to get home. After the night bus had a random terminal station-like stop in the middle of nowhere I ran to the next bus station to get my connection. After I got off the next bus I decided to have some more night time exercise and to run back home, even though I was pretty tired, since I live ridiculously far away from that bus station and I wanted to sleep asap.
