My first days in Heidelberg
Hi All,
?????? ????!! (????) - I can not get russian letters on every PC here :-))
Just to inform you about me. I write English, seems not everyone will understand but I hope you can try.
For those who havent seen me last Saturday I had a departure-party with some of my friends, and I hope pictures will be available soon. Sorry I couldnt devote a lot of time to all those who came, but it was really great to see your faces!! Thanks lot, and please apologize me that they were slow with beer.
So I brought all fine weather from Moscow to Heidelberg as usual, so sorry guys for rains in Moscow!
I live currently in a hotel in Leimen that is 9 km from the center of Heidelberg. Its the last stop of a Tram, and about 5 minutes by foot. To reach the office I need to change tram to another. I tried to ride bicycle today hard have an hour. Next Monday I should move to another apartment for next three month on the side of Neckar near the Marriot hotel. The address will look like Vangerowstr. 7, so WELCOM!
So I started to work on Tuesday, and today is a day-off called Re-Union day. But it was not looking like a work yet I have 2 days of NEUS course specially for new employers. And I would really recommend it to all. Theres also one guy from Moscow in my department, Mikhail Scheglov, finished VMK and I already got acquainted to his wife and son. Yaga is a bit overworked course of his soon trip to Russia, but we had a Russian diner yesterday in a German place. I didnt take any vodka, and thats a shame on me. Really I need to come next month to bring some.
I already used to German keyboard, and try to write Russian words blindly. I started to write dates in eur-style. German language course is going currently, and I will try to attend next Tuesday, but probably its better to apply for intermediate course. So I will try to remember what I already learnt through next week I really had no time for it during my last month in Moscow. But it seems to be not very difficult.
Larisa, my Mum, is in Kiev now, taking serious treatment. So friends are taking care of her now.
OOppps, sorry... some guys bothering me with sending info quickly!!
Will write you other news when news appear.
Thank you all for taking care of me.
Take care!
