Returned after another 9 days in New York. Thanks to all my hosts for having me.
No delays on my flight from NYC->Atlanta->Stuttgart. Merry christmas everybody :-)

Last pic in my old Blacksburg flat: Kieran cutting the christmas ham.

First pic in my temporary NYC flat: Mace, Alex, Fabi, Jan. Thanks for having me guys!

Still wet feet.

Wallstreet fraudster Madoff’s apartment at Lexington Avenue under siege by SEC and of course Fox News (additionally CBS, CNBC and ABC news and a bunch of photographers)

Sitting at Roanoke airport about to go to JFK via Atlanta.
My semester abroad at Virginia Tech is over. 5 of the best months of my life. I can’t and don’t want to summarize everything I did during the time but it was a blast!

Thank you: to all the wonderful people I met and the good fun we had. I am looking forward to meeting some of you guys in February in Europe. Thank you: to all you great Americans who I probably won’t see for a good while. The Oktoberfest offer is still valid! :-)

This blog will stay open for the next probably quite turbulent year and my master/phd/trainee years. Would love to hear from you guys from time to time! Cheers. Simon.

Had my last exam in my studies yesterday. Had a couple of beers afterwards. Going to NYC on Monday, going back to Europe a good week later.
