Goodbye T-Mobile, Goodbye Bonn

This week was full of cheerful and sad moments for me...both at the same time :-). I had two farewell dinners, one farewell party and one farewell afternoon coffee...and I have to admit I have never said goodbye to so many people, not even after my stay in Vienna. 3 months in Bonn have brought me invaluable experience and I enjoyed every moment both at work and during my freetime. My last week at work was quite busy and also very entertaining because I just got into the topic of our project so deeply that I really regret leaving T-Mobile at this moment.
I organised my farewell party in a nice German pub but with Czech beer and my friends totally surprised me with a great present. I got small papers with messages from all participants which were hidden in baloons and I had to smash those balloons in order to read everything..it´s been fun.
On Friday I had my last day at work in T-Mobile International and we have planned our last goodbye with another colleague of mine, Thorsten. My team has prepared great presents for me...you are really all my faves now...and I can prove that!
The very last moments I have spent with my two collegues Cigdem and Sare in a very stylish fish restaurant called Le Petit Poisson. It was an honorable way how to say goodbye to each other. Now I am back to Czech Republic, the plane carried me away from the Rhine valley and there are new adventures waiting for me at my University in Prague:-).Take care everybody, hope to see you again, very soon.

Mando Diao in Bonn

Last week I managed to get for free to the concert of Mando Diao (Swedish alternative rock group). Their music little bit reminds of the old good Beatles. The atmosphere in the audiance was amazing. I was there with Manuel, Stephan and Thorsten - they are all my colleagues and friends from T-Mobile.

Sunday relax

Today I finally visited the Museum of German history in Bonn - Haus der Deutschen Geschichte. The entrance is free and all expositions are highly interesting, I can strongly recommend this museum. It was interesting to see expositions of the WW2 from the German point of view. There were all big German cities after the end of the war, either in pictures or movies. They also showed the whole era of post-war reconstruction, separation of DDR from BRD, the speech of Kennedy in Berlin and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Then I also saw an exposition of German songs and melodies - going from the 50s til 80s. That was cool and among the songs for children, the Czech "Biene Maja" was the first :-))))). Well, in our history there were times that were certainly not easy for anybody. You can also see the old German VW cars in one section of this museum.
I took my bike afterwards and with music in my head I just slowly went home and today there is such a nice early autumn weather. I felt so calm but anyway my duties in Prague are also slowly calling me - I am already writing articles for our CEMS Club where I am leading the PR team. And I am looking for a new job in Prague and planning millions of other things, as usual. Bye, bye.

Busy days and my stay in Bonn is slowly coming to its end.

Here I am with some more news from my busy life. I spent exactly 38 hours with my family in South Bohemia last weekend (viz. picture with my dear sis), then few hours with my friends on Sunday and Monday in Prague and then 8 hours at the University where I took the CEMS language exam in English. Afterwards, quickly back to Bonn and I am finishing the work on my project in T-Mobile because I have just 13 days left here in Germany and then - home sweet home again. In between there are some parties again. Yesterday we went to a big fun fair which is called "Pützchensmarkt" and it was really German and really crowded and loud but I liked it. We ended up in a Bavarian tent around 2 o´clock am singing German "Schlager" and drinking "Weizenbier".
