Entry 24: Enjoying a European Weedend

Well, finally I have done it, spending a weekend like a classical European.

Despite the fact that my laptop's fan is broken, my weekend has not been a boring one.

I have found a big bookshop in my town and, fortunately, they sold English novels.

For 10 Euros, I bought a book by Trudi Canavan, The Black Magician Trilogy I.

It is a nice book, so nice that I decided to spend a day reading it, the European way.

So, on Sunday, I took a train down to Munich and then took a walk to the beautiful Englischer Garden.

Finding a nice seat by the lake in the Beer Garden, I settled in my seat.
With the sun shinning warmly on my face and a 0,5 l beer on one hand, I began to enjoy my fantasy book.

The sad part is that I have already finished half the book while taking the train from Regensburg to Munich.
The sadder part is that I HAVE TO leave about 2 chapters of the book so it can keep me company for the ride back to Regensburg.

By the time I finish my beer (about 2 hours), I have already read till the last chapter of the book...

Leaving my comfortable seat is such a torture... but I know I have to so that I have something to read while taking the boring train.

AND comes the saddest part... I SLEPT ON THE TRAIN BECAUSE OF THE BEER.... AHHHH
I should enjoy the last chapter by the lake.

BUT not all is lost... I went back to the book shop and has bought Book II and III.

Now I just need to pray that the whether will be nice next week.

How are you? We all miss you! Still in hospital? I pray for you everyday because I am a christian now. I baptized on 27th of this month just after my birthday. Please come and visit us on summer holidays, so your grandma and I can take care you. I guess your illness caused by poor diet!May be the time you are being a soldier is much better than you take care yourself now. Love you!

I have that book la. The black magician trilogy. In fact, I have the first and the last book, but not the second book cause my school library has it. :D It's a good series, but the ending is kind of strange.
