		<title>Ich bin ein Berliner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of stuff has happened since I last posted here &#8211; most importantly, I am no longer living in Italy. Three weeks ago, I took my stuff and moved up to Berlin (yes, the one in Germany). Currently Ingrid just has a tiny room here, and we&#8217;re in the process of looking for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spraeken English&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fun how the internet can give you a first-hand look at what&#8217;s going on in the world. Take our foreign minister to-be, Guido Westerwelle: You can find this video how he refuses to speak English to an British reporter at his press conference.
If you check the press, they will talk a lot about if he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Partnerstädte</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ich habe gerade festgestellt, dass Pisa Partnerstadt von Unna ist. Daheim im Sauerlande, sozusagen. Hier ist die Beschreibung (ohne Worte):
Die unterbinden am twinning Pakt zwischen Pisa beide wieviel ist die Eintritt zur città noch Einstimmig verkehren zur 1996. Wieviel ist die Eintritt zur città Deutsch , beherbergen des Teil or  ausführend provinziell , Quelle [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vor den Wahlen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Passend zum Geplänkel der letzten Wochen hat die Frau Nahles von der SPD ein Interview gegeben. Da erklärt sie auch gleich, warum ich diese Partei dieses Mal sicher nicht wähle. Sie sagt in jedem zweiten Satz &#8220;Arbeitsplätze&#8221; und meint dabei, Konzernen in Seenot Geld hinterher zu schmeissen. (Aber die Reichensteuer wird es sicher wieder rausreissen&#8230;)

		<title>The thing with the umbrellas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is something particular about Pisa. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s even an Italian thing, just something particular about this city.
When it rains people use umbrellas on their bicycles. They&#8217;re driving around, guiding the bike with one hand and holding the umbrella in the other. Of course it doesn&#8217;t get very fast that way, but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Armer reicher Mann</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Auch von hier unten verfolge ich noch manchmal was in Germanenrepublik von sich geht. Nicht das es hier uninteressant wäre. Aber aus der Nähe ist es weniger lustig mit dem Silvio als von der anderen Seite der Alpen aussieht. Das hebe ich mir für ein andermal auf.
Aber immerhin: In Deutschland gibt es auch lustige Leute. [...]]]></description>

		<title>My good deed for today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I learned something new about the Italian tax system: You can actually decide where a (very, very small) part of your taxes actually goes. There&#8217;s 0,8% that goes to a church of your choice, or optionally to the state (for public welfare or something). 
And 0,5% goes to an organisation of your choice (welfare, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photo Update and More</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s a while since I posted something here and it&#8217;s about time for the first news in this year&#8230;



I finally got to sort my digital photo collection and actually put some new ones into the gallery. Now I have to check for a digital print service here in Pisa, to get some on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>La prima volta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend I went to the movies for the first time in Italy. I was actually quite surprised: Even though I didn&#8217;t get the more involved dialogues, I was able to follow the plot, more or less&#8230;

		<title>DSL and more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually, the DSL story ended quickly and happily after I asked my boss to call up Tiscali. They claimed that I &#8220;hadn&#8217;t been there&#8221; when the technician arrived. 
However, a new technician quickly called in, and after a week two guys showed up in my kitchen with headphones and little black devices. After ten minutes, [...]]]></description>

		<title>DSL Adventure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Work is still going well, and after settling in a bit in Pisa, I decided to order a DSL connection to my flat. 
I found that the provider Tiscali offers a bare-bones DSL deal, that also removes the need to rent a phone line directly from the Italian Telecom. Ottavia (of my landlord&#8217;s family) told [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some coordinates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve not gotten to write much here, since I was on the road for the last month or so. At least I prepared a small file with the coordinates of my last travels.
You can just watch it with Google Maps on the net, or get the .kmz file for Google Earth.

		<title>Some more updates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All right, here&#8217;s another little update. I&#8217;ve actually been quite busy, with some adminstrational stuff to do, and lot&#8217;s of travelling.
Two weeks ago I went to Elin&#8217;s and Ludwig&#8217;s wedding in Stockholm, which was a nice, relaxing weekend in the north. I also went to Bucharest last week for a project workshop. Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>More italian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Italian course finally started, and I&#8217;m already able to say important things like &#8220;Vado al ristorante stasera&#8221;.   Also, the police/city guard called in this morning to finalise my residency application. So I&#8217;m two steps closer to getting Pisan now.

		<title>Low Cost Peversion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Ryanair booking process includes at least three &#8220;particularities&#8221; that cost extra money. That is extra money above the advertised ticket price and the fees and taxes, which are also not included in the price. Of these three, one is practically impossible to avoid.

At first, you&#8217;ll have to select how many bags you want to [...]]]></description>

Federico helped me with most of the administrational stuff: You&#8217;ve got to get a tax [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going to Tuscany</title>

Last Saturday we packed everything from my room into the transporter (thanks to my helpers   and I went down to Ingrid, picking up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last day</title>

I had a little farewell &#8220;breakfast&#8221; going the day before; I received one of those little electronic translator thingies as a goodbye present. Everybody was really nice and wished me the best, too  
It was a bit strange. [...]]]></description>
