<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a good engineer, geek and champion of diversity, I am not a
big fan of the Apple concept. It is too expensive, ITunes controls… you are not
a free user, you are into a machine. After selling my soul to Google, I am
reluctant to give it to Apple. But I admit, I did it. It feels bad and good at
the same time, like when I eat this chocolate icecream and know that I
shouldn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This year, I managed to put my hands on an IPhone 5s and a Mac
Book Air 13 from Work. And I just bought an IPad Air.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You might have thought the blog was kind of dead... But it isn't! True that it has been quiet for personal reasons, holidays, laziness... But again I have something to share with you and I couldn't wait to post it! It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm visiting Emma next weekend in Paris and I'm scared of our inevitable blog meeting... :-S<br />
<br />
One of my favourite blogging-topics is cooking, especially if it's related to a healthy lifestyle, and even better if I can share something that would spare you some time in the kitchen! <br />
<br />
Yes, I guess you know I'd like to talk about the oven, this incredible machine! For years I thought (as many people) that the only things you could get from an oven are creamy and sweet cakes full of sugar, chocolate muffins, fetty pizzas, delicious but rich-in-calories quiches (at Emma's place), cheesy gratin pasta, etc etc etc... I couldn't be more mistaken! <br />
<br />
Since I started my healthier cooking habits, and adding vegetables to all my meals, the oven has become my closest friend in the kitchen! (well just after Eva, my flatmate!). I didn't have to buy a book "oven recipes for singles" or anything like that! What I do is soooo simple, you might think I'm wasting blog space! I preheat the oven, I put 2 drops of olive oil on an oven dish, and I just put vegetables on it! No preparation, just peppers, eggplants, onions, tomatos, zucchinis... Sometimes I don't even cut them into pieces! I let them roast for 30-40minutes and they are done! I love them with a little bit of salt, olive oil and rosemary, on a slice of bread. When I don't finish everything, I boil some rice or quinoa and I add the veggies to it, for my lunch on the next day. Can you think of something healthier??? It's delicious and you can watch TV, have a shower, play with your dog, while preparing the dinner! <br />
<br />

<br />
My friend Olga, who also shares this veggie-roasting obsession, brought me last week a new veggetable/ root/ thing, absolutely new for me: topinambur. Do you know what it is? It looks like something between a potato and ginger, and after being roasted it tastes like an artichoke! No joking! I love it! <br />
<br />
And if you want healthy snacks, you can make chips! The sweet potato chips are my favourite, you just have to cut them into thin slices and put them on an oven tray. The oven shouldn't be too hot, under 100 degrees, and it will take a couple of hours, but again you can leave it there and do something else. <br />
<br />
I hope I could help you find another healthy dinner option, I know it's sometimes difficult! Enjoy! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Since I write this blog, I am following a few blogs to get
some insights, experiences from others. There is one that I especially like it
is called <a href="http://generationberlin.mondoblog.org/" target="_blank">Generation Berlin</a>.
A French artist lives in Berlin and talks about her experience there. As I
spend 5 years in Germany and have a German boyfriend, a part from me is still
over there. I really like reading her blog.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Anyway,</i> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She realises a short movie. The shooting is between August 25th and 29th 2014. The film, "The prison guard's daughter", is about the friendship of two girls and a teen ager in the summer in the french counrty. The project needs some more funding. So she decided to use the following
platform <a href="http://www.touscoprod.com/en/" target="_blank">touscoprod</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.touscoprod.com/images/uploads/project/1624-1405005563953.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.touscoprod.com/images/uploads/project/1624-1405005563953.jpg" height="165" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I went on the website. You have different
level of funding for which you get something: the script of the movie, a
postcard from the shooting team, an invitation to the Premiere, a day on the shooting…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>And I did it, I invested...</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What I like about crowd funding?</div>

<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">I feel now part of the adventure</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">A few months ago, my
boyfriend wanted to embark on a detox cure, trying to include more alkaline
food in our meals. Well, I did not know anything at all about this. I just knew
that at this point of time, I was not quite fitting in my favorite clothes and with
summer ahead of us my diets were certainly not the healthiest I could boast of.
So I thought, <i>Why not</i>? Let's try!</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">The cure duration lasted
one month. And it was so liberating, I lost seven kilos, I feel so much better now.
This must sound hippy, MY BODY IS GREATFULL TO ME! And I get to do new shopping
again, because well all my clothes are now too big :) </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We followed a program from
a German website.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.zentrum-der-gesundheit.de/basische-rezepte.html">http://www.zentrum-der-gesundheit.de/basische-rezepte.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Based on my experience, I
will share with you a few lessons. </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">1. No Bread No Diary
Products.... No Cheese</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">YES, you heard <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no cheese, no bread</i>. For me, a French
girl, this was (and is) the hardest. I was a cheese junky. No diary means <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no yogurt, no milk, and no butter...</i> Now
I am eating cheese again... like a normal person.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">The Ersatz: for yogurt, you
may, from time-to-time, try Soya Yogurt. It is very tasty. To cook, use plant-based
oil, such a coconut oil.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">2. No Coffee, No Black Tea,
No Soda</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">These drinks are full of
acids, which is not ideal for your body. When you feel sleepy, what you need is
either vitamins or a nap. The first few days of detox may be challenging
because you are addicted to these beverages and everyone around you drinks
them.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">The Ersatz: green tea, jasmine
tea, herbal tea, and my favorite ginger and lemon in hot water</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">One of them needs to be
100% veggie: soup, salad, cooked veggies. Whatever you like! –as long as they
are veggies. No meat/fish for all your meals; once or twice a week should be
more than enough; you don</span><span style="color: black;">’</span><span style="color: black;">t need to be a vegetarian
to do a detox.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tip:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just cook <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chez
vous</i>. Avoid pre-cooked meals, burgers, ready-made sauces etc. Cook what you
like and do it from scratch with organic products. Simply by doing, you are
removing conservatives and unhealthy stuff that exists in those products.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Of course, you may snack,
and when you do: have a fruit (ex: apple), or nuts! No worries. You won't get
nut! And once in a while why not a little bit of super dark chocolate?</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Since month without cheese
is hard enough, a month without alcohol would be torture. I did have some wine
in the weekend. It is up to you. If you want to do it hardcore, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No alcohol</i>.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ready? Go for it! You won't

I don't want to look for excuses, but... Ok, I've found one excuse! It's been raining sooooo much in Bremen!!! How is the expression in English? It's been raining cats and dogs! and mice, and tigers, and elephants! and I'm not one of those who say (with a cheesy voice): "Oh, I love it when it rains and I'm at home with a hot tee and a warm blanket and I see raining through the window... so romantic...." NOPE!!!! When I see it's raining outside I just feel like crying and yelling because I think of all the awesome activities I could be doing if it was sunny and warm!!!! I hate everyone and everything on TV, I want to eat anything I don't have in the fridge, so I must go outside to buy it, I feel ugly and fat, and sad, and angry, and and and.... you know what I mean, right?<br />
<br />
So I could only think of depressive topics for the blog like: 10 reasons why not to come to Bremen, the trendiest rain boots spring/summer 2014... and then Emma showed me her amazing and colourful post about the <a href="http://rosaemmablablabla.blogspot.de/2014/05/another-look-on-favelas-of-rio.html">favelas in Rio</a>, and I decided to wait a couple of days until it stops raining, so I could feel a little bit more optimistic. And of course it hasn't stopped raining. But the clouds have given me a break today (10min?) and I would like to give some ideas of what to do if the weather is so disgusting as it was the last days here, and how to forget the rain outside. In my case, I don't feel like doing sport, or cleaning up my apartment, or doing my taxes but:<br />
<br />
1. <b>Go to a sauna-spa with your girlfriends</b>. I did it last Friday after work, and it was an awesome idea!! It was warm, fun, we chated, we laughed (I guess we aren't used to nudist spas yet... ;) )<br />

<br />
2. <b>Meet your friends to plan a trip to a sunny country</b>. The way to the cafeteria/restaurant/apartment where you meet will be rainy, but you will forget about it once you start planning and choosing the bikini you're going to wear in a couple of weeks!<br />
<br />
3. <b>Organize a wine & cheese event at your place</b>. Everybody loves wine and cheese, it will start early in the evening and you will have a great time with no need of discos, expensive restaurants and fancy cocktails. And it's at your place, so no need to move!<br />
<br />
4. <b>Go buy ingredients and bake cakes the whole weekend!!!</b> Sweets make people happier, and you can go for dark chocolate and light quark if you want to reduce calories.<br />
<br />
5. <b>Make some online shopping!</b> If I would go shopping personally, I would get depressed because I would think nothing suits me and my mood would get worse, but if you buy online, you will see pretty clothes on pretty girls in sunny environments, and you just have to click and wait at your place!<br />
<br />
My flatmate Eva makes everything much easier for me, since we can get angry together when it rains, and she loves saunas, sun, wine, cheese, healthy cakes and online shopping! And she gave me the idea for this post! And since rain makes me a little bit emotional, I share a pic of her because she's awesome :)<br />

For my holidays I went to visit my family in Rio Brazil. Of course I went on the beach of Ipabena and Copacaban and saw the Corco covado (you know the big jesus that you see on all the pictures). What touched me at most was the visit in some Favelas. In this article, I will write what I learned about the favelas during my visits.</div>

<b>What is a favela?</b><br />
Favelas is a term for slum in Brazil. It was supposed to be temporary habitations for soliders and now families have been living there since generations. What defines them is that constructions are not made by a plan, follow no influence of the state. Inhabitants left on the side of societies had to organize hemselves to get some road build, get electricity and water. The community feeling is very strong in theses places.</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Favelas have a very bad reputation, known for their drugs dealers and violence as in the movie, the city of gods:</div>

If this is still true it is not the case in all favelas. Their inhabitants are human beings. I invite you to watch the movie 5x Favelas. The trailer is in protuguese, but if you get the DVD you will appreciate those 5 short stories giving another side of the life in the favelas.<br />

As a preparation to the world cup and olympic game, some favelas are being "pacified". This means that the police comes and install some policemen in the favelas. The people are being told a week in advance so that "caids" go away ... or just stay quiet. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacifying_Police_Unit" target="_blank">pacification police unite</a> then will settle in the favela. Different projects are then done to bring in infrastructure, education and culture.<br />
<br />
<b>Graffiti in the favelas:</b><br />
I visited two favelas with a lot of graffitis, Prazeres and Vidigal. In the favela of Prazeres, a project supported by a local NGO, organised to have grafters from all over the world to redecorate the favela. There are two goals:<br />
-Make the living of the inhabitants better<br />
-Enhance local economy and tourism by getting visitors to see the graffiti. We did the tour accompanied by Young people linking there.<br />
<br />
Here, you can see some pictures I took. Enjoy the art and the view!<br />

<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p1">
During the last years, I travelled to conference in South Africa, in Italy, spend a few weeks in Strasbourg to meet my fellow space enthusiast and share innovative ideas and views on the Space Industry. One day, while flying back tired from the travels and the fight to get the fundings, I thought : I have in Bremen plenty of people that are working on exciting them with which I would like to share ideas.</div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
I saw on the internet the Space Up concept popping up abroad, Paris, Belgium, New Zealand. <a href="http://rosaemmablablabla.blogspot.fr/2014/02/what-is-unconference.html" target="_blank">To know what is a Space Unconference please see my article</a>. I knew this format would be awesome. And this happened on April 11-12th. </div>

<b><u>What are the important steps to start?</u></b></div>
<ol class="ol1">
<li class="li1">Get a team with motivated and independent people</li>
<li class="li1">Make the website and flyers as soon as possible</li>
<li class="li1">Get some sponsors and make them commit to the event (Let them pay! otherwise they can say no, and your are in trouble)</li>
<li class="li1">Find a place to accommodate your event with enough rooms and light</li>
<li class="li1">Organise a cool DJ that will rock your breaks</li>
<li class="li1">Choose the catering. If people eat well, they will be happy. Happy participants is important for an happy event!</li>
<li class="li1">The whatsapp group for the organisers save your life during the event</li>
<li class="li1">Communicate with to have new participants, to connect with them</li>
<li class="li1">Find some cool keynotespeakers (see below our astronauts <a href="http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Human_Spaceflight/Astronauts/Reinhold_Ewald" target="_blank">Reinhold Ewald</a>)</li>

<b><u>Lessons learned:</u></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>1. Make people pay so they can commit.</b></div>
<div class="p1">
I wanted to have a free event so everyone can join whatever the back-ground. However, we had a full event and refused some people, which was a pitty because 20-30% of the people did not show up or just stayed an hour or a day...</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>2. Dealing with the budget is not that easy</b></div>
<div class="p1">
It takes some time. So maybe dedicate one person to do this job.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>3. It is important to push the participants to participate</b> </div>
<div class="p1">
Even if the event has no rules, the participants have to be the conference, it is important to explain to the people the concept, give them the confidence to be on stage, propose some subject, get prepared to different topics.</div>

Sometimes it's difficult to find some time to write a post when you are so busy visiting family and friends or sun bathing under the Spanish sun with a beer on your hand (the sunlight makes it impossible to look at the laptop screen...). Emma has also been busy getting ready for her trip to Brazil (yes, we all hate her!) (no, not true, we all love you, Emma!). Anyway, I've looked through the window this morning and I've seen it's raining (it sometimes rains in Spain), so it's time to write a post about my very good friend and colleague Lucie, who is spending Easter in a very different way: she's on Mars!<br />
<br />
She is also an aerospace engineer and she couldn't wait until the next European Astronaut Selection. She wanted to know what it feels like to be on Mars with a crew, a habitat, freeze-dried food, an unknown desert around and complete isolation. Thus, she has joined the HI-SEAS mission in Hawaii. Yes, how cool, Hawaii! But remember I said habitat, astronaut food and isolation. And desert, not beach! And I forgot to say that every time she goes out from the habitat she has to wear a space suit, no bikini!<br />

She will spend 4 months in a closed habitat doing space-related research with 5 other space enthusiasts. Life there is an experiment itself and it's one of the "almost-on-Mars" experiences you can have nowadays. And this is not the first time she does something like this! If you are willing to know more about this mission, or you want to see more pics of lucie with a space suit, have a look at her <a href="http://luciechickenonmars.wordpress.com/">blog</a>, 100% recommended! And you don't have to be a space freak to read it!<br />

<br />
<br />
I'm sure you've all read the post about the coming <a href="http://www.botschaft-frankreich.de/">European elections</a> on the 22nd - 25th May. Some of you have asked how to vote if you are living abroad, and I realized I have the same question! Every time there is an election you have to get informed about when, where and how you get the proper documentation and until when you have time to send your vote. <br />
<br />
You may already know that I love tables and structured information, so I've prepared a summary for the French and Spanish people living in Germany. <br />
<br />
1. If you also live abroad and want to know more, you can find useful information here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.europeansabroadvote2014.eu/">http://www.europeansabroadvote2014.eu/</a><br />
<br />
2. and these are the websites where you can find specific information about your country (you will probably have to contact them at some point):<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.botschaft-frankreich.de/">http://www.botschaft-frankreich.de/</a><br />
<a href="http://www.exteriores.gob.es/Portal/es/Paginas/inicio.aspx">http://www.exteriores.gob.es/Portal/es/Paginas/inicio.aspx</a><br />
<br />
3. Or you can decide to register in your city to vote where you live. For example, in Bremen we received a letter. If you live in Germany, are a european citizen and you want to vote there, you have to register before <b>Mai 4th. </b>The good thing in Germany is that you can vote with a letter. So no worries if you have plans for this week-end. You will still be able to fulfil your citizen duty. No excuses.<br />
I am doing it for the first time as well, so I will let you know how it goes.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.botschaft-frankreich.de/">http://</a>www.bundeswahlleiter.de/de/europawahlen/EU_BUND_14/unionsbuerger<br />
<a href="http://www.botschaft-frankreich.de/">http://</a>www.bmi.bund.de/europeans-vote-in-germany/ (information available in several languages)<br />
<br />
<br />
We are now all registered to vote. The next step. Who are you going to vote for?</div>

You can call it hobby, or call it obsession, but I love finding new foods to add superhealthy nutrients to my diet. You have seen my posts about the <a href="http://rosaemmablablabla.blogspot.de/2014/01/some-questions-about-bio-food-obsession.html">BIO obsession</a>, and I also explained my first (and last) bad experience with <a href="http://rosaemmablablabla.blogspot.de/2014/02/very-important-information-if-you-have.html">ginger</a> (we are friends again). My last discovery are the chia seeds. I've been adding them to some of my meals and a lot of people asked me what are these black disgusting grains. I thought it was time to write a post about this amazing food!<br />
<br />

<br />
Health benefits of chia seeds:<br />
- source of omega 3 (helps to reduce bad cholesterol)<br />
- protein<br />
- fiber<br />
- satiating effects<br />
- antioxidants (against free radicals, aging and cancer)<br />
- calcium (good for your bones and teeth!)<br />
- potassium<br />
- magnesium<br />
- manganese<br />
- phosphorous <br />
- stabilizing effect on blood sugar (insulin level regulation) <br />
<br />

- it's extremely expensive (13euro per 450g in the BIO shop, no kidding)<br />
- it has almost no taste (in my opinion)<br />
- you shouldn't eat more than 28grams a day (too much fiber can harm your stomach)<br />
<br />
Ideas to include chia seeds in your meals:<br />
- mix it with cereal<br />
- make healthy pancakes (with one banana, one egg, one teaspoon chia seeds)<br />
- add some to your salads<br />
- egg substitute for baking (1tbs chia seeds and 3 tbs water and let sit for 15 min) (I've never tasted it, but I will and I will post it!)<br />
- add some seeds to your milkshakes<br />

But even the first week you will get phone calls from the bank, from the insurance company, from your landlord... and you might have given your spanish, french, english number. And every time you get a phone call, you will also pay a part of it (you can have a look to your local roaming conditions). And if you get to know someone (your first friend in town!) you will want him or her to have your German number, so you can have a plan for the weekend! So getting a phone number on the first week is a must! <br />

<br />
You may remember our post about the <a href="http://rosaemmablablabla.blogspot.de/2014/02/what-you-need-to-know-if-you-plan-to_22.html">banks</a>. The case is very similar when we talk about phone companies. You will arrive wherever you have moved and you will have the impulse of going to a nice mobile phone shop (O2, Vodafone, Telecom...). You can go and ask for their prices but keep your wallet in your pocket! Go to Starbucks with your laptop (I guess you still don't have internet connection at home) and compare them with companies that only offer online services (Fonic, Fyve, 1&1...). Your main priorities should be:<br />
<br />
1. A contract that can be cancelled monthly (don't get stuck in a 2year contract)<br />
2. Cheap European rate (fonic offers european phone calls to landline numbers for 9ct/min)<br />
3. Flatrate including phone calls, sms and internet, not more expensive than 20€/month<br />
<br />
They won't try to award your fidelity with some cool smartphone, or ridiculously cheap offers, so don't even try it. You will be treated as if you were doing them a favor, get ready for this. <br />
<br />
I give you a similar advice if you want internet flat rate at home, but in this case, and even if this advice sounds stupid and for dummies... READ THE CONTRACTS!! yes, they are in German! and they won't translate them for you, or give you a copy in English! Take them home, ask a German colleague, whatever. But they love to "give" you USB Internet Surf sticks for free, until you receive your modem... You might sign the contract and then have to pay for its cancellation once you realize you are paying for something you have never used... Real case, I already know 3 people who suffered this abuse and one of them it's me! <br />
<br />
Now you are ready for chatting, smsing, calling, internet surfing and socializing!!! (well, if mobile phones damage social relationships or not can be a topic for another post...)Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00792638202945071418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104721794772715343.post-55482462094548911062014-03-26T11:57:00.002+01:002014-08-25T12:29:53.417+02:00Get prepared to the May European elections - Election 101 Why do we vote? <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On 22-25th of May is coming the european election. I am very excited because it will be the first time that as a french person I can vote in Germany to elect my representative. So proud to be European! However, it is well-known that the abstention rate is very low for this election and this is a pitty! Therefore I want to start a serie of post to help you get prepared to this elections. Now, let's start by the basics. </span></div>

We always talk how lucky we are to live in a Democratie. But are we using this privilege?

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This election is about Europe. Europe is a great success and needs to continue, we are all benefiting from the disparition of boundaries, the euro makes our life easier everyday, opportunity to work in all european countries. Those are unique features around the world. The end of WWII is only 70 years ago. What do we want for the future of Europe? If you feel concerned, you should </span>definitely give your voice in May.<br />

Sometimes it's not easy to understand why three Spanish girls go sooo north just when the spring starts in the cold and rainy Bremen... But we wanted to see the polar lights or Aurora Borealis. There are three main conditions to see them:<br />
1. go to the very north of the Earth --> check!<br />
2. plan your holiday somewhen until April --> check!<br />
3. It has to be cold but NOT cloudy --> yes, it was freezing, but it snowed non-stop the two nights we spent there... so it was extremely cloudy :-S<br />
<br />
Of course you have to plan the holiday some weeks before and you cannot know when it's going to snow, rain, or be completely cloudy. That's why we decided to plan a perfect weekend with lots of activities, in case we couldn't see the lights:<br />
<br />
We slept in a "sami" camp around a fire (which extinguished in the middle of the night...),<br />

You saw the series of article about, what are the things you need to do when you move to Germany. My German adventure is taking a break as I will be going back to France for a few years because of my work. I lived during the last 10 years in 7 cities spread around 4 countries.<br />
<br />
At some point I thought "I am a moving expert ". FALSE. No moving are alike. But still, some points are always there.<br />
<br />
Here my check list to move<br />
<br />
1. Decide on the date to move<br />
<br />
2. Let your tenants/Flatmates know about it (at least 3 months in advance)<br />
<br />
3. Sort out your clothes ( Tip : If you did not wear them during at least a year, you should give them away)<br />
<br />
4. Finally sort out all the paper work from the last years<br />
<br />
5. Buy some cartons<br />
<br />
6. Put some add on internet to sell the furnitures you are not taking with you (Tip : If people come to take them from your home, you don't have to help them, otherwise, if you break something during the transport... it is less money for you)<br />
<br />
6. Decide if you rent a car or take a company to make the moving. Start the market study and make some reservations and let your friends know if you need some help!<br />
<br />
7. Go to the post and order to have the mail following to the new address<br />
<br />
8. Give a notice of moving to the Bank, Health Insurance, Sport club...<br />
<br />
9. Take a few days off to make all of this stuff<br />
<br />
10. Put your life in the less amount of boxes possible... Challenge accepted (I am at 8 boxes and 2 suitcases, who can beat me?)<br />
<br />
11. Take a relaxation course to survive the mess with Zenitude<br />
<br />
12. Plan a goodbye Party<br />
<br />
13. Think about the good moment you had in this city and all the awesome moments you will have in your new life<br />
<br />
14. Jump and Enjoy<br />
<br />

This year the Three Wise Men brought me the most incredible reflex camera ever. I was a really good girl last year, and here is the evidence! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitBqFOQOzIJ-CrRlVmf4FfjYET9wZlQjXFenkpbnjUQOukVqV04HfQ0seSdAPkwVbWnJJGB_Q9nvKv1NR8MTsKsYehe89Oj2xBLM2Xd09uONu4U2ggDSzxtK2xgRO4qCdJh9YQcl56Hse/s1600/camara.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitBqFOQOzIJ-CrRlVmf4FfjYET9wZlQjXFenkpbnjUQOukVqV04HfQ0seSdAPkwVbWnJJGB_Q9nvKv1NR8MTsKsYehe89Oj2xBLM2Xd09uONu4U2ggDSzxtK2xgRO4qCdJh9YQcl56Hse/s1600/camara.png" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Since this is my first reflex, I have no idea how it works or which are its capabilities. I've been using the automatic mode since January... That's why I will make this camera my...:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Next technology challenge!</span></strong></div>
, and I hope I can discover the artist sleeping (almost dead) in me. <br />
<br />
So the first step was to join a course called: my reflex camera, how the hell it works? (or something like this... ) The course wasn't bad, but next time I will be sure the course has a part where you go out and take pictures... it was full of theoretical concepts and description of all the menus IN GERMAN. I mean, I speak German, I understand German, but I don't speak or understand "German for photographers", and neither does my camera (with Spanish menus)... So my efforts to try to translate what the teacher meant with <em>Schlitzverschluss, Offenblendenmessung</em> or <em>Spiegelvorauslösung</em> made me want to hurt him... I guess my colleagues had time to take pictures while the teacher was helping the child with special needs (me)<br />
<br />
Nope, not a good experience. But what doesn't kill you make you stronger, and I took my camera last weekend and I decided to learn by doing, so these are my very first baby steps:<br />

I will keep trying, but for the moment I just want to thank the japanese Nikon engineers for creating such a great automatic mode!</div>

Ask anyone, they have a just-in-case insurance for everything: laptop, smartphone, bike, extra-medical insurance, insurance in case you rent a car and you get stuck in the middle of nowhere... They feel saver, and they don't mind to pay; if something happens, it will be worth it! <br />
<br />
In your germanization phase you must get at least two insurances (apart from the compulsary medical one, Krankenversicherung): Hausratversicherung and Haftpflichtversicherung. According to my bank advisor, you cannot walk around the city without them! I tried it the first day, and it somehow worked, but I contracted them on the next day because I couldn't sleep...<br />
<br />
<strong>Hausratversicherung</strong>: in some cases, you will be forced to have one and give a copy of the extract once you get an apartment. It covers the damages you may cause in case your washing machine starts throwing water away like a sprinkler and the neighbour finds a pool where there used to be a bathroom... or your cooker gets on fire and you turn the paint in the common corridor into gray. Be sure you inform the insurance company if you move to a new apartment, since you will pay more or less depending on the square meters and the insurance must be related to a given address. I couldn't be more proud of my insurance last week, when my flatmate and I woke up and found two centimeters water on the floor of the whole apartment...<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is me wearing my pyjamas and gumboots on a Sunday at 9 am, <br />
with my friend Fran, trying to get rid of the water...</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<strong>Haftpflichtversicherung</strong>: this one will be useful if you go to a party at your friend's place and you unfortunately pour your beer on his laptop... you'd better have this insurance if you don't have the money to buy a new one... and if you don't want to loose a friend forever! <br />
<br />
<br />
They cost between 50 and 100 euros per year each, depending on the conditions and the insurance company. Most banks have an affiliate insurance company, in case you want to save time by comparing insurances. In case it's money what you want to save, have a look at <a href="http://www.check24.de/versicherungen/">http://www.check24.de/versicherungen/</a>. <br />

<div dir="ltr">
Every one knows about the nice cars and the autobahn. You can drive very fast and enjoy your VW or Mercedes. During the years I learned to love the train. You can be flexible, relaxed. In this post, I will give you some tips to get cheaper rates and enjoy at most your rides.</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>1. Get to your Bahncard </b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
For long
distance buy a <a href="http://www.bahn.de/p/view/bahncard/ueberblick/bahncard25.shtml" target="_blank">Bahncard 25</a>. You will get 25% off on all prices long
distance. To start, you can get one to start which last 3 months. If you book in advance you can get very advantagous prices and
time to time you get some coupons to get someone travelling with you. At last but not at least, you get the public transportation from you home to the train station and from the final trainstation to your final destination included. Very very convenient!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
TIP: Always book your long distance trip <a href="http://www.bahn.de/p/view/index.shtml" target="_blank">online</a> then you get the sparpreis!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>2. Travel in groups as much as you want </b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
For a spontanous getaway/city hopping, you have the<a href="http://www.bahn.de/regional/view/regionen/niedersa/freizeit/niedersa_ticket.shtml" target="_blank"> Niedersachsen Ticket</a>. With this ticket you can travel within the lander with regional trains
for 22 euros as you want in one day, and for 4 euros/person more you can be
up to 5 people on this ticket. Perfect if you want to go with your
friends to a concert from Bremen nach Hamburg for the evenning, or if like me you have a
baby shower in the afternoon in Braunschweig and you need to be in the
evenning in Hamburg but you live in Bremen. You get to see the land, look
outside, read books. And maybe
you will end up in some of the crazy train stations of german villages
like in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uelzen_station" target="_blank">Uelzen </a>designed by Hundertwasser.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
If you have time, book a <a href="http://www.bahn.de/p/view/angebot/regio/qdl.shtml" target="_blank">"quer-durchs-deutschland"</a> ticket for 44e. Same concept up to 5 people but all over germany.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
TIP : Avoid the times before and after soccer games,
otherwise thoses train get filled by drunken football fans. Or pay more and go in the Express Train (ICE, EC)</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Why women's day? </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Because we need more women in politics, leadership position,
peacemaking position, business, everywhere!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Because women are underrepresented. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Because at some point in their career they are less paid than
men and meets a glass ceiling<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Because in many places in the world, women are no one, have no
right, cannot vote, drive, take decisions<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Because in some regions, girls cannot go to school<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. Because women are victims of violence such as domestic violence
and rape<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7. Because, I am an engineer and I've often got the comment "it
is not really normal for a women to be an engineer?” I want to live in a
society where this is seen as normal<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">8. Because in a work environment, from women in her late 20's,
telling your boss you have good news, or you don't drink alcohol means directly
"Are you pregnant?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9. Because when a pretty girl gets a job, people often think she
got the position because of how she looks like but not based on her skill<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">10. Because it is not only about women but also about all the
society and mankind which have to think which is the place they want to give to
women and how they want to contribute<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">11. Because we celebrate all the women that fought for more
equality between men and women<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Well, I had French at school and I remember I was able to have a conversation but that was long long ago and I don't remember a word. Mmm that's not true, I can understand French quite good but I cannot even say a proper "oh la la!"<br />
<br />
I bought grammar books, novels, I joined internet courses, and I guess Emma didn't see any improvement, because she found me a TANDEM. <br />
<br />
First, what the hell is a tandem? Some people have asked me if I had bought a bike with two seats...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Ojb-_d7d1SVZfNR3XUpECkLcHBsbnOnZdfvMhbb2vHHYbHTwrwYVfJsj4CpOAiNILfaF8zKKMjjoKLzvrVPGCwDK5kjmuQH8CiG27-ryKtWgEmbF6FkhyphenhyphenBJmRrzM9LAjhlETg80mpNAT/s1600/tandem.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Ojb-_d7d1SVZfNR3XUpECkLcHBsbnOnZdfvMhbb2vHHYbHTwrwYVfJsj4CpOAiNILfaF8zKKMjjoKLzvrVPGCwDK5kjmuQH8CiG27-ryKtWgEmbF6FkhyphenhyphenBJmRrzM9LAjhlETg80mpNAT/s1600/tandem.png" height="266" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
That would be also great, and it's somehow related to this concept, but I meant I found a French-speaking person who wants to practice Spanish while he helps me with my French! (Emma is French and she is actually learning Spanish, but why we are totally unable to speak any other language than German with each other is part from another post...)<br />
<br />
<strong>When you meet:</strong> whenever you have time for a coffee/beer<br />
<strong>Where you meet:</strong> wherever, but I recommend a pub or cafeteria<br />
<strong>How long you meet:</strong> so long as you like (2 hours?)<br />
<strong>Price:</strong> for free!!! (or a couple of euros if you want something to drink)<br />
<strong>How it works:</strong> you start a normal conversation or you prepare some topics, but it's important that you speak 50% of the time in one language and 50% in the other<br />
<br />
It's a great method for learning a language and you may find good friends! I am really looking forward to meeting David (my tandem) again and see our improvements after some weeks! <br />
<br />
Of course this tandem thing makes even more sense if you move to a new country and you need to learn the language and get to know people. You can easily find people looking for tandem partners in Facebook or language academies of your city.Rosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00792638202945071418noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104721794772715343.post-42818549676728756422014-02-26T10:00:00.000+01:002014-08-25T12:29:53.400+02:00What is an unconference?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Last year, I discovered the concept
of unconference. I will present you, what this means, why I think this is
awesome, and tell you a few words about the one I am about to organize with
some friends.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 13.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 13.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Definition of an unconference</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 13.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 13.5pt;">On google the definition is the following: a loosely structured
conference emphasizing the informal exchange of information and ideas between
participants, rather than following a conventionally structured programme of
events. "At this unconference, attendees created sessions on the
spot, making for an energizing and freewheeling exchange"</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Why do we need unconference?</span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As an engineer is a research center
I often get to go to conferences. This is the perfect opportunity to present
the work performed and hopefully get some feedback on my ideas and network with
my fellows. For the networking, it works as plenty of events outside the
conference are organized. However, I meet two big issues:</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">-if I want to go to a conference,
often I get this from my boss "Your paper sounds very interesting .... But
we don't have any budget and we cannot let you go on your working time".
And then starts the fight to find scholarship, should I pay with my money and
invest in my future? Do I want to spend my precious holidays to a conference?
Well, maybe when I am looking for a job, ok, but then, really?</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">-I have worked on the paper during
days and nights, hope to have some constructive critics, but when I get over
the world, have the perfect Prezi/power point, the room looks more like this</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Last year, I heard about the

If you have followed the steps, now you have job, a map, an apartment, and you have done the registration at the stadtsamt, so you are a legal citicien. Now you may want to get your salary by the end of the month, so go open a bank account! <br />
<div>
<br />
But don't rush! You could do the same mistake as I did, going to the first bank you see in the city! It happened to be the most expensive one, the slowest ever and the one that makes you pay the highest fees if you want to get money from any other cash dispenser. <br />
<br />
Take your time and compare banks and kinds of account. If you are young and you are addicted to internet, it's possible you would prefer a bank with online service. This is a comparison of the main services you can expect from both kind of banking:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8c-SrAwKKNBjZER_MFeYa-6bggWL98AAhMsQnqPTL250N1iI-ppZpF79mG6J_vbG3-xhvzxMCp0I1epBFLQV5qYfzrgN74oq0QOZkXAP2EqY8YpWRWPLCF7t6oQcJcsNJ8h2kAytdiJn8/s1600/bankcomparison.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8c-SrAwKKNBjZER_MFeYa-6bggWL98AAhMsQnqPTL250N1iI-ppZpF79mG6J_vbG3-xhvzxMCp0I1epBFLQV5qYfzrgN74oq0QOZkXAP2EqY8YpWRWPLCF7t6oQcJcsNJ8h2kAytdiJn8/s1600/bankcomparison.png" height="267" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="color: magenta;"></span><br />
For both options you will need your ID card and your "<a href="http://rosaemmablablabla.blogspot.de/2014/02/what-do-you-need-to-know-if-you-want-to.html">Anmeldung</a>", and you'll be asked for your salary.<br />
<br />
Whatever you decide:<br />
<br />
1. Have always cash in your pocket! You cannot pay with card everywhere... I think Starbucks is the only place where you can pay a coffee with a card...<br />
2. Forget about the VISA, and go for EC-Card! I had to pay with 3000euro in cash in IKEA because they don't accept credit cards!<br />
3. If you have decided to open an account in a "classic" bank with offices in the city and customer service, be sure you print the abstract of your account every 3 months and save it for your records, if you don't want to pay for receiving it per post at home...<br />
<br />
Now you are ready to get money in Germany! And also ready to pay in Germany (taxes, insurances, other fees...). We will talk about it on next posts...</div>
