I spent the days around christmas back home in Filderstadt with my family. As every year we had plenty of nice food and probably gained weight a bit.
Around new years eve a friend of mine from study times organised a skiing/boarding trip to Sölden in the Austrian Alps. With sunny but cold weather and a great choice nice slopes, we we could really enjoy the beauty of that region. Though a slight cold kept my from snowboarding for two days, I quite enjoyed those times as well, relaxing with a good book to read. (Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami)
So far for now, I wish everyone a great year 2009!
Cheers
Tim
