Back from London… back to work

So we are back from London… and we (my girlfriend and I) had a nice and exiting time in London. The city itself was more dirty then I expected… definitely dirtier then last time (2005 or so). But the people were nice, the hostal was really good for the low price we paid and the weather was perfect!

This week was really packed with work… but we found time to go to the concert of the local best band of the world “Die Ärzte”. They came over to Cottbus, for the first time in 10 years or so. It was a really nice concert, on Saturday we are going to Berlin, to see them again.

I didn’t gave up on my wish and plan to finish my report about the last days in Japan… but I don’t know, when I will manage to do it… sorry for that :-(

If you wanna download this really nice short animation, go to the peach open movie project website! Amazing what people can do with animation software like Blender…

Visiting London

This week, my girlfriend and I are going to visit London.

It is rather a short trip then a real holiday… but we are getting some free time from Cottbus :-)
I am looking forward to see, what has changed since I last visited London (autumn 2005)….

I saw that the tube system (underground subway trains) is under construction in many different places. Going with the tube in London is different from taking the subway in Japan… as far as I remember. But visiting such a big and nice city will be a good experience after my absence from the wonderful Tokyo for now over 1 and a half month.

So stay tuned and press thumbs for good weather in Britain ;-)

Dagstuhl picture time

On the last day of the workshop at castle Dagstuhl, the participants had time to make a group picture. This is a small tradition at the castle…

Here is the picture of the participants for the workshop about “Modeling Techniques for Computer Network Simulation”
I guess you can find me quiet easily on the picture… (click on the picture, if you want it in original size)

Participants Picture

Lots of great researchers on the picture, I hope that I will be able to follow their lead.

Wie staucht man Kinder in Japan zusammen?

Ein kleiner Linkverweis auf Tabibito’s Blog…

Nimmt man besser English oder Japanisch um Japanische Kinder darauf hinzuweisen, etwas sein zu lassen… :-)
