h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I live in Lego Land. Strange but true, that being the nickname of the university flats I live in here in Kaiserslautern, Germany. I thought being here would involve meeting lots of germans, but it turns out that all the international students get put in Lego Land, so I hardly know any germans at all.

The thing is, the majority of the international students are here for a short duration only - three months, siy months, nine months but not often longer.

So you arrive, you make some friends, then you gel a bit, become close friends with a number of people, and then if your lucky you become maybe really close to someone, and then they leave. Then you spend a while missing them, then more people leave, and then a few more people come, but they dont make up for those who left, and then those more people go too.

I leave in two months myself. I just hope not too much of me has passed out before I go.
