Tag 110: Der Tag Heizstrahler

There are currently not so much new to tell. The university life is as usual, sometimes boring, sometimes interesting, but more boring. The weather here is variable: sometimes the sun shines, sometimes it rains, sometimes is it very cold (4 ° C), sometimes very warm (19 ° C). Above all, the evening temperatures drop greatly, warm is it more from lunchtime to early evening, and it's really very pleasant. Incredibly, that is December ... I could swear it was April. Or October. So it feels.

But south of the Yangtze River (长江, Chángjiāng
) there are no heaters in China, not anywhere. Therefore, it is always cold, whether outside or inside. Noon's is even colder inside than outside. Therefore, Amila and I are considering to buy us a heating source in the form of a radiant heater: 49 yuan (5.57 €) cost a good piece. In Dorm room connected went out after about 5 minutes the light: no, no power failure, it was not 0:30 clock
(where this is automatically cut off the current, every night) , no, the Watts were just too (power?) much. The device consumes only 700 W actually, but that seems to be too much. The trick came with the departure by a fellow student: (No, not P1000361 Takumi ) Mr. Inaba , our Japanese fellow student, has gone to a few days ago for about a month back to Japan, most of his stuff he has here to live with friends. We have also placed some things in the cupboards, and we also got up liquid, given tasty Japanese sauce (とん かつ リース,
Tonkatsu-Riisu
), oil, a folding table and several extension cords and power strip or borrowed. The latter use, we were able to tap the external power source from the bathroom, the more power (it also feeds the boiler for the shower, m-hm!) And also works at night, when everything in the room is dark. Whether this is completely legal, we do not know. We do not care ... we do not freeze to death, yes! And yes, it really is very nice and warm with the new part. this Thursday and Friday is the way, no classes - sports festival in China (as in all communist countries?) a very great and wonderful thing. We are being carted to the school bus after all Chenggong (呈贡) and must "participate". I hope it is only meant to watch. I do not think I will again make (a Chinese version of Mr. Herzig) high and long jump. ;) The week is then exam time - somewhat earlier than at the end of the semester because the Laotians (50% of our class) all go home earlier. Our last test is the way on 24 be December. What do I do for Christmas, I do not even ...
