Finally an entry! I've written anything for so long, was The main reason that we had here for over a week no internet in the dorm, and also that I was sick and busy with a lecture, not to mention the HSK test all ...

... but first things first:
tests:
We had written some checks in all of our 4 subjects. Sometimes they were the oral exams and some of them were really ridiculous (to tell than 5 minutes, what 'NEM any topic), but sometimes really difficult. The results gave's Percentage: 精读 (Reading Course): 91%, 口语 (Oral): 85%, 听力 (Listening): 66% and 阅读 (newspaper reading): 64%. In the last two I was the next best thing, if I remember correctly, the first two even the best. I seem not to be so bad, summed up the results for these four "intermediate examinations" under 77%. Not bad. End of December in the week before Christmas, we write the final exams for this semester. Let's see how the. And then there was
still the HSK test, HSK 汉语 水平 考试 stands for (H
ànyǔ
S huǐpíng K ǎoshì , such as: Chinese level test) and is a large, well-known method to determine the level of Chinese knowledge. As a result, one has a score and a stage, between 3 and 12 or something like that. The test is really hard, so that one need hardly dream of it, to have everything right. Half is all right. The test took place in the neighboring Yunnan University, and included a hearing test (with headphones), which was less severe than expected, a reading text part that was quasi unschaffbar, the time was too short: a few texts I had not read it, but I just thought: Oh, it's apparently about the doctor fish! What I know about the doctor fish ... and then the answers have answered according to my knowledge of the world. Hopefully it'll bring me some points, it is all multiple choice. The grammar section was to be expected against sauschwer, while the Gap part was just bearable. All in all difficult, but not as heavy as the exercises in Tiks exercise book (I was there for part 2 / 15 points). Let's see when will the results ... Goodbye Internet ...
The main reason why I wrote about 2 weeks is nothing but the sudden and unexpected loss of our beloved Internet access throughout our dorm. Nothing doing, even the teachers Yang did not help. We some of them have used the wireless Internet in our cafe, or on campus ... there it is but especially in the evening icecold, so I had probably caught a bad cold. After
on 7 Internet-less day with a dozen students to Laoshi Yang went to complain, has recommended to us an alternative that was a bit expensive: register to use software, in the 6th Stock will be to unlock dial. Complicated, but now it's done. We will refuse but to pay for any of 40 yuan per month for what we deserve from Uni-page and what some pay for anyway (yes I scholarship). Well at least it works, even if it's very lahm ist. Vortrag
Vor einiger Zeit bei der English Corner am 翠湖 (
Cuìhú , Green Lake) sprach mich mal ein Lehrer von der Businessschule der Yunnan Normal University (das ist die Schule, wo auch Haiyan und Yijiao studieren) an, ob ich nicht dort mal einen Vortrag halten wollen würde, auf Englisch über Deutschland. Ich hatte damals zugestimmt und mich dann ein paar mal mit ihm abgesprochen — schließlich hab ich (v.a. draußen und im Café) einen Vortrag zusammengeschustert mit Bildern aus dem Netz und von mir selbst, 50 Folien, und am 91. Tag (24. November) war's dann soweit: ich bin mit dem Taxi dorthingefahren, wurde von Lehrer Wang uns zwei seiner Freunde zum Essen eingeladen und dann in den Vortragssaal gebracht, der voll war mit etwa... ja, 200 Studenten, in Worten: zweihundert! Aber alles lief prima, ich war auch kaum nervös, es hing ja nichts davon ab und ich kannte mich im Thema aus. Die Studenten fanden's toll, obwohl sie glaube ich nicht alles verstanden haben (Erstsemestler, deren Englisch nicht so sonderlich gut ist).
Statt am Ende mir Fragen zu stellen zum Thema Germany , haben mir die meisten gesagt, dass mein Vortrag toll war und dass ich doch wiederkommen soll. Und natürlich wollten sie alle meine QQ- und Telefonnummern haben, hinterher. Nach meinem Vortrag wollten the bravest girls all took photos with me, really funny! =) There is also a few familiar faces were there, who listened to: Haiyan, who came for an examination but unfortunately, very late, Yijiao, which is now on semester abroad in Thailand, Qinghua, which I had invited and MINF, a friend of Haiyan I also met once (rather embarrassingly recognized) had. Mr. Wang Qinghua me and then moved again to our respective universities, behind. Nice! Theoretically, I paid my taxi money and I get about 150 yuan possibly as a reward ... but that did not happen. 
Li Rui Li Rui (aka Thilina Thushara), one of my two Sinhala roommate had a problem with Amila, the other Sinhalese ... I really do not know what happened, we accused each other lies, and Li Rui then claimed to be able to no longer live together with Amila and is then pulled out easily. Now he lives in the 2nd Floor in room number 222 and we get to see him any more. The two do not talk anymore ... hm. So now I live alone with Amila here, which is frankly more enjoyable. More space, more rest, even though I had nothing against Li Rui.
Whether we get a new roommate, I do not know yet ... maybe. We'll see! New teacher
Our teacher in the "Intensive Reading Course" (精读,
Jingdu ) had short-term (again) to Beijing, because her daughter is seriously ill. Now she has to her granddaughter (if I understand correctly) take care and look after something for her daughter. Therefore, we now have a new teacher: Ms Cheng (程), which is also a bit older and somehow - I can not help it - something European looks. Her teaching is soooooo bad: the coronation of the Chinese teaching technique: she talks and talks and solve the tasks in the book itself asks us nothing (but makes dictation, which I think is good), it is dead boring in the course. In addition, she talks too fast. All in all, it is nice. become net is the way our once so hated reading course with their drill instructor military technology. In our worst failed test, they changed their teaching techniques strongly: we go slowly through the lessons, talking through each set to read only one out for yourself and then discuss together the reasons for the answers and she says even the vocabulary. We are very pleased, even though we had not said anything. She has no less than himself. :)
flu
At the same time as my talk, I began to Germany to get sick, apparently a Cold. Cough and fever and general malaise. My fever was pretty strong, I have two days spent in bed and took ibuprofen, which helped initially, the fever has not somehow fight completely. After two days I've really got a bit scared, what could be worse, especially since my head is really hot was. The rescue came in the form of a cold washcloth, the Tik
[our neighbor Thailand, where the left image] worried on my forehead applied (the water is evaporated almost immediately), keep topping. And really, it helped! After she was gone, I fell asleep, woke up after a good night again , and was free from fever: a look at the clock told me then, since Tiks washcloth action is only slightly more than an hour passed and it was 1:30 at night. A few days later I was well again and only had a little cough, but then I had also bought the tablets for a cold, however. The Chinese love the yes, eating tablets when they are sick. That is always the first question, if one is ill, whether he had swallowed medicine ... I've already spoken to think again.
The love of money is The third month was (with day 92) and I have to re-calculate my monthly expenses that appear to be less and less:
1219.6 yuan (140.82 €) in last month. Wow! Nearly 200 yuan less than the fellowship gives me. Today I spent 10 yuan by the way for a new notebook / diary, the old is full. I have had the old book until day 100 and day started with day one hundred and first Does not look too bad ... who my attention Flickr photos see Staring,'s faces in the photos next time lying around somewhere!
Linda
Who is Linda? My niece, my sister's daughter that is small, the end of the month will be a year old. The course is at home in Leipzig, and I see them only every now and if I use skype with my parents or my sister - But she is cool and can now run it! Is this normal with just a year? She also begins to speak, slow, yet it is still in the Brabbelphase and I find it sad that I can not document their progress (hmpf I have been well until I have children myself!). According to witness reports of my sister, she says "Mama" to her, and her father to dinner. And if the neighbor's dog barks, says Linda [baʔ baʔ], I've even listened to, great! =)
I should talk a picture of Linda reintun ... Mhueys birthday
Mhuey, our neighbor and Tik Thai housemate had yesterday its 22nd Birthday. Two Thais from the 2nd Stock you have given a large Winnie the Pooh plush bear, after they have alarmed her with a slice of melon (you know: Mhuey's Afraid of melons, hihi!). Tik and I bought a cake yesterday (see right: Mhuey with cake), which was plastered then we all (Amila, I and the 5 Thai girls). Am I wrong, or Mhuey looks really not that much out of Asia? Maybe I see very simply not ...
Holiday No, there are no holidays, but I can sometimes tell when the holidays are here, next year: 8 January to 23 February, these are the holidays around the Spring Festival (春节,
Chūnjié ), which this year on the 3rd February falls. By the way, you will be interested in the weather here: yes, it has become cold and relatively cold. At night, in the morning and evening here's estimated 10 ° C and without heating (south of the Yangtze's not), the bitter cold, really, the day the sun and it will be up to 20 ° C seems like today. Tomorrow is the 2nd Advent and this photo I have just made out:
