The traintrip yesterday was wonderful. I don´t think I´ve ever been in a nicer train than this ICE. Quiet, fast, comfortable... it´s almost like a plane but with more space for your legs. I talked with a fellow-passenger until Duisburg, then I read a bit. The four hours to Frankfurt went quick.

David & Milena picked me up from the trainstation, and gave me a great welcome. We had some drinks at home, and we went out to a pub around their place later. We had German beer, of course.

The computer here in David and Milena´s house has a German keyboard, which is pretty much the same as a regular one expect that the `y´ and `z´ are switched -- a bit confusing.
