With a nice stamp in form of a coco de mer in the passport we are flying back to Dubai and on to Düsseldorf. This time it was my turn to go in the luggage.

Essen-Rüttenscheid, Germany - 11th August 2008
By: Apperveilchen
We went to a part of Essen called Rüttenscheid today. It's one of the nice neighborhoods. The market every Saturday has many stands with delicacies not normally found in German supermarkets, like wild peaches or nectarines, fruit and vegetables from exotic countries, unusual cheeses and so on. There are several organic bakeries and other pricy stores.
Here's the typical architecture: for the older houses, then the popst-war ones. Essen was one of the most bombed places in WWII, because of the weapon industry here. Old parts of the town that used to be independent villages and were left standing then fell victim to 'modern' city development in the 1970s. The old houses were pulled down and flat-roofed buildings were erected, leaving space for broader streets and pedestrians zones.

Homburg, Germany - 26th August 2008

We had to go to the university clinic today. That involved some running around and going to many different offices. In the picture you can see the buildings where people can donate blood and people with blood deseases are treated. In the background is the building where some of the student offices are located (uni sports, student organizations...) and most importantly teh dining hall and cafe for the students. We went to get some breakfast while we waited for the office hours to start.

I was really dirty after the trip and before I go to my next host I want to be all sparkling clean. Now I'm sitting out to dry and then I'll directly get into my envelope.

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland! I started my trip in United Magazines 'cause my host is a journalist.
Editor-in-chief's Bear had waited me hard every day. Then one day he found a small package in a postbox...
