week20 report

It is 20th week already. It is actually the official ending of the internship. (The exchange program is 20 weeks). However, I will stay here until 2nd Feb. So this is going to be a last post. Hmmm…. Chinese New Year is right at the corner. Every time when I chat with my Chinese friends, First thing they ask is: are you going back for New Year? Hmm…. New Year is a season for the Chinese to stay together with their family. Feeling homesick really… First time I have such strong feeling in Germany.

Anyway… Happy Chinese new year to everybody who is reading my blog now. 恭喜发财!(gong xi fa cai!)Thank you for all your support. I am very happy when every time there is a new message from you guys. That is encouragement for me. And it really helps to cure my loneliness.

Ok…What I have done for this week:

I went to a Chinese restaurant with some Chinese friends last weekend. We ate “hot pot” over there. (refer to “steamboat” in Singapore,火锅) This is a photo taken in the Chinese restaurant. Hmm..Look “china” for me. Especially the red Chinese knot that hang on the wall.
The photo below it is the “hot pot” I am talking about. It was really really nice…I give 9 marks for this one. (10 marks for the “hot pot” in China.haha…) I ate a lot that night.

And we had a party in the university this week. It is funny to take photo for people who are drunk. This is photo from my flatmate, Tim (The one with “big eyes”.) The other one is friend from my flatmate. We knew this from the next day, that he slept in the staircase for few hours, right in front of his own flat. Hah…And my friend told me that I slept in the party for one hour…hah…(I didn’t know that.)

I asked my German friend to teach me to cook German food before I leave. “Bohnen-untereinander” is the name for this food. If you trying to figure out what type of food is this, I can tell you, It is kind of soup, but at the same time it is not that liquid like water. Because they put potato inside. So I would rather say it this way. Potato means rice for the German. So this type of food can be said something like “porridge” for the Chinese. So “German porridge”…hah…can you understand now?

I have done this work this week. Because we took out the solar cell from the old car “Solar World No.1”. And the company “solar world” want us to put new cell for this car. Off cause not GaAs Solar cell. But traditional silicon cells.(much much cheaper.) So I need to work all these out: where to put the cells. How many cells in one string, what is the best configuration for the cells. And I have worked it out. Hah…By the way, I still working on my final report now.
Take a last look at our project room…I am going to miss this place. Ich liebe Deutschland!
And Singapore! I’m coming back! Have a nice weekend!
