SEK – EURO dilemma

I have to pay back an interest free study loan to the German state, and finally have the money together in SEK, however seing how the Swedish Krona has performed over the last month tells me to wait some more time before paying it back?

25 % loss in worth over just few month, that would be 1000 EURO more to pay for some 5000 EURO I have to pay? Normally I really don’t spend attention, but these graphs (taken from here) tell me to pay more attention. I hope it goes back to its former state, otherwise I am screwed.

Survived North-Bavaria

I know what bad ice cream tastes like and I have also lived in hostel in Tokyo, so know pretty well how one should not eat or live. But Fleck, a small place in Hintergeiersberg, which lies in Warmensteinach, which is part of the district of Bayreuth had much more to offer, namely the worst ice cream I have had, the worst coffee and no internet at all. The are has nothing except trees to offer. The smiling population and the 50th anniversary of my wives grandparents was in the only thing which kept me there and luckily there is only one 50th anniversary, so no need to come back.

Pictures will follow as soon as I am back in Sweden. Now, I am back in Saxony-Anhalt, where I have at least an internet connection, everything else is otherwise quite similar to the place I just described above.

Still alive!

Quite busy and aggressive, but still alive! Visa (after my russian nightmare, that was the first I did) and tickets for Melbourne are issued. Will spend a half day in Kuala Lumpur to make the trip not too long. That was mainly the reason I updated my cam, of course I had to tell something else add home to justify the spent money, but … you can’t go to Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne with an old cam, can you? Tickets for Germany, Berlin, are also booked, Conference as well as 50th wedding anniversary of my wifes’ grandparents in East-Bavaria, 20 km from the Czech border. 2 days with East-German family will probably give me no other choice then trying cross the border and by some cheap sweets. This is probably my last blog entry until I am in one of the aforementioned places, due to a huge lack of time.
