Mid March Reflections: A (good or bad) night in London

Spring is still to come to this part of Austria (or world if you will). It's cold, snowing, raining and windy. However, I am experiencing something new. I am enjoying life and my workload is "limited" for the time being. It is a unique situation but at the same time logical. This is my third semester here, and the number of relevant courses have decreased - hence my sudden overflow of spare time. It should be said though that the action begins in April - that's when the difficult courses commence.

About a week ago a friend arranged a farewell dinner downtown due to her departure from Austria back to her native country, The Netherlands. We ended up on a greasy and sleazy Mexican restaurant with nice decorations, a stupid (and possibly retarded waitress) and average food. Anyway, on the way home we passed by a Chinese restaurant (there are many Chinese restaurants in Linz) and they had put a glass showcase outside the restaurant with samples of what they serve. Judge for yourselves.

These images raise a few questions, and I think the samples (that consisted of plastic fruits and vegetables) looked disgusting. Enough said.

The final rounds of The UEFA Champions League is running and Inter is playing Chelsea on Stamford Bridge tonight. The outcome of this game could determine if 2010 is a good year or not. I will watch the game as the football junky I am, dressed in my jersey (haven't decided for which one yet!) nervous and in full ecstasy.
