My local train-station. This thing has been completely redone since I arrived in 2004. “Now with less ghetto!”

There’s a few things one should do during a stay in Wolfenbüttel. Walking to Braunschweig (12km / 7.5mi) because you missed the bus and don’t want to give out €20 for a taxi ranks high on the list. It was actually a really good time but my back hates me today.
The Christmas Market in Wolfenbüttel has this new "Forest Bar." Very cool at night albeit not photo friendly for my camera.

Heute ist mir bei der FH etwas aufgefallen. Ich hatte gerade €20 auf meine Chipkarte geladen, und danach merkte ich, dass ich die falsche Karte aufgeladen hatte (ich habe zwei Karten: eine als Gaststudent und noch eine als Masters-Student).
