Should I Use Boiled Linseed Oil On My Cricket Bat

another world in another world!

Actually, I have prejudices about the people who spend their evenings in Roppongi. Above all, foreigners are attracted to this district. Even a foreigner, it is perhaps a little arrogant at the thought to surround himself with many foreigners to turn up their nose. Finally, I have not even Japan for me alone chartered.


But among the many businessmen, spend there before all those foreigners who would like to "tow" like to Japanese women, and, accordingly, young Japanese women who like times can be towed by a foreigner. Perhaps the only prejudices are, but if you in the evening near the bars entlangschlendert the street, comes just as managed a picture. A district to be foreigners. Recently I have learned the hard lesson that there is very can be beautiful. I'm out there to meet me with a friend from Iwate and time was correct German! With a Japanese friend in tow, but it feels not so bad. How I would have you can reach the German beer garden with Hofbräuhaus and sauerkraut withheld. So we perched on the lawn, drank a White and sauerkraut eaten. AFFORDABLE no pleasure, but which had the effect that the said party people, which I'm against so many reservations that were not there. It was deposited with a very calm, harmonious atmosphere with yodelling and accordion music of the Japanese yodeler Kitagawa Sakura, which is one of the few Auslaenderinnen that received at the Lucerne Festival Jodel the highest distinction. WOW! Not that I would have irritated me as the Northern Lights do not already of yodeling in costume ... On the homepage of the beer garden can find a lovely photo. But a search on Youtube is probably very efficient. Which reminds me that I wanted to write an entry about Japanese fashion and debility. But another time First a few pictures I in have included beer garden and a walk in the area. Images that I had not expected.

Ativan And Nitroglycerin

I know of only different! (Episode II: The Library)

things of which you would think: "Sure, I know that!" which may be the worst surprises, like the warm, shallow swimming pools have proved a lot to have. The indoor pools were able to convince the way, not much more expensive, despite the promising entry.

If one is prepared by his professor, but already that the parliamentary library is not so, as we know it, it is all the more newsworthy if the shock with each visit, and again unexpectedly deep-seated.

  1. There is no WLAN. There may say: "Oh, the youth of today", but not without reason we as a student in Berlin, is in most large libraries, no matter which university, automatically on the Internet if you want, now. Literature is a flat much more effective if the same can also order information about the author, availability, pricing, reviews, etc. can research online editions, or the book of the same desire in another library. Even words can quickly find on the net and gaps in education or training whatsoever which may be filled temporarily by means of contributing to Wikipedia and reading comprehension. Not here!
  2. You can only order three books simultaneously available for inspection in the reading room and the order can be made only by the computers on site. The waiting time is 30 minutes. This leads sophisticated tactics to Order: arrive, order, look up the workplace and other needs quiet and then pick up the first load. The roads are long and eat "fortunately" some waiting time. Then, alternately always seen two books, handled returns, and accordingly ordered one or two new books / magazines, so that even in the waiting time on these, the remaining one to two books also on their content be reviewed until they too can be recycled into the flow of stupidity can. Respect for books that you want to compare with each other! You should be best at the same time at the same point in the cycle. Despatching the books "would include, if necessary actually making copies ...
  3. No self-service copying. At exactly the designated computers can / need to log in with their library card, pick one to three of the one to three books / magazines that are currently on the good side of the cycle, three times, "OK & ldquo ; press and then remove one to three notes, which are so large that one would fit all three books in one. A handwritten note on all three labels own address and then the desired page number and page number. Then the same sections with pre-shredded paper in one to three books and mark with all the junk at the right switch. There everything is checked again, agreed on the size of paper and handed one to three books. The attentive reader will have recognized that now have to leave in the worst case, all three of the three books for circulation and about 20 minutes in a black hole has disappeared. Klug is therefore the user, who also divided this operation somehow sent and incorporates into the cycle of madness, or in the 20 minutes waiting time in the 6th Stock moves and eats an ice cream. In the 6th
  4. Floor has a convenience store. In the 6th
  5. Floor there is also a kind of Mensa, but unfortunately not as tasty and quite expensive for a cafeteria. But is there also in the Berlin library, and also of variable quality. What is not there, are the three or four large flat screens, where you can track the doings of the real world, not much less insane. Actually, I stand these TVs more critical of and have first thought about disparagingly, as this creates daft tv crazy people, even in a device which is to enrich the mind thought that with superfluous Push to overload. But when I followed two days there with ice and coffee, the choice of the party leaders of the DPJ, which then is also the (possibly not popularly elected new) prime minister, in a circle of interested people, I had to revise my opinion partly .
  6. But back to the copies which would have been so be ready. 25 Yen the site! That's currently 23 cents and enough frustration for a second ice, unfortunately, not enough money. Actually the way, 25.25 yen or so, because 4 or cost 101 yen. On the other hand, are 8 pages 201 yen, so this puzzle can never be well resolved.
  7. By now the frustration also comes from before the first ice up again, because we remember that we get for 25 + yen or double-sided copies, or reductions that could help more pages to get to one. Furthermore, we see that not for 25 + yen Once the lid is closed when you copy, which means that one in small sizes (magnifications are also rejected flat rate) bear this hated huge black border must be the first, second, excellent colors and used Kö ; nnte, he would know. The stack of paper printed on one side is just so not too bad, because the copies are so expensive that people try to avoid anyway any stacking.
  8. The stacks continue to grow only with difficulty, since one of the reasons Copy Rights of longer essays and books, only half or 10 Pages at a time copy may get copied. In this case, I am so far but has not fallen since the 10 pages I can not afford anyway, and I luckily selected only shorter journal articles. But the challenge was initiated.
  9. The Parliamentary Library has almost everything. The University Libraries, unfortunately not. Moreover, these are often not publicly available, provided that you do not have a reference from their own university library, which also entered in the worst yet to which works are to be seen to be confirmed in the same breath, that they own in the library does not exist. There are exceptions, but maybe I need to on the few days left in the cycle can feed this parallel imbecility.
  10. Oh, and pictures I had of course made the carrying of cameras would be banned for fear of insidious Copy Right violation. Actually, of course, no one pays attention to what it takes in the reading room. But when I finally left the library after work and kept my MP3 player along with headphones in hand, because I had just been charged on my PC, I was called back very excited and pointed out that the driving of headphones is also prohibited. The fact that the users are really on their various characteristics (sleeping, nose lifting, Vorsichhinbrabbeln etc.) here will no longer be reported in adequate details, the sound of your PC (as in Berlin as well) are often turned off, so the melodious sound of the rattles ready operating system launched in all ears, but not interested.
  11. are probably inured most users anyway, as the cultivation, the only place where the mobile phone receives a signal that meets regularly horrible noise emitted by vehicles outside of the building proceeds, not the vehicles themselves but the people moving to this around the houses (in this case, Parliament) and by loudspeaker to shout their slogans so loud that I received under distortion can not understand. The aggressiveness of the gay slogans and marching music that sounds when the vehicle moves on at last, but suggest that they are extreme right wing. To tolerate and stay in government quarters seem obsolete by the way still, I would make a record of the daily police presence in riot gear Leave that amaze me in the few minutes' walk from the train to the library again and again into despair and can be a little irritated. I write not.
  12. Back to exit the library. Holds done. The transparent plastic bags in which we (as in Berlin as well) before entering the library fills his utensils are so fragile that one first, regardless of weight rather not plugged his laptop into such a bag, and second, leaving the library can do with it nothing better than to dispose of used up half way. Even the Japanese disposable society, I will write an entry.
  13. The
  14. leaving the library in the week already at 19.00 clock, not 10 hours after entering the library, at the earliest at 9:30 clock. On Saturday at 17:00 clock and not on Sunday.
brings me almost to the same, but otherwise absurd Grimm-center, the new university library of the Humboldt University of Berlin, like many other Hirnis great institutions and to impart a great price and a record of his architecture unpleasant to write many advantages. I do but not both.
