First day in Bonn

Hello, hello! Let me bring you the very first news from a calm and beautiful place in Rheinland called Bonn. When I arrived today it was cloudy but in the afternoon the sun came out and the weather was just great. The journey with Student Agency bus went without any problems as usual and I succesfuly found the place where I am living now. Brigitta, the owner of the house where I live, is very nice to me and so is her husband Albert. They are both self-employed and work from home. Albert is doing some data transfer operations for various firms. Their house is beautiful and has a great location and it is not far from the centre at all. Well, Bonn is really small as I found out today so nothing can be called as very distant here :-)), except for the long cycling routes along the Rhine. Speaking about cycling that´s a big phenomenon here like in the Netherlands. My host family has also a lot of bicycles and they already provided me with one of them and I can borrow it anytime. So today I spent four hours in the afternoon with this bike and went to the centre and then along the Rhine and I crossed a big bridge that led me to the seat of T-Mobile where I start working on Monday. The so-called T-Mobile Campus looks really good. You can see it little bit from the enclosed picture. In the centre I went to a tourist office to get a map and then went through the main streets and squares filled with crowds of people and dozens of crowded cafés. I also saw Beethoven´s birth place but the house is nothing special. The city is small but the parks and green around Bonn are huge. I think it is a very nice place to live. Goodnight to you all and keep reading my blog :-). Hugs, Olinka.
