-          The European Championship was a huge mess but also a huge success for the Czech team. 4 gold, 4 silver and 10 bronze medals only for the first day! Congratulations!

-          Disorganized organization is how I´d describe the event.

-          No time table of the categories (not even for the coaches!), no certificates for the winners, no winners podium (!)

-          Kata eliminations → kumite → kata finals. Logic?

-          There was a drum performance in the middle of the day for some reason.

-     Unless we were standing on the chairs, we couldn´t see anything on the tatami.

-          And the organizers smiled and pretended everything is going according to plan. (what plan?!)

-          I am telling you, this Pünktlichkeit of Germans is just a one big lie. A rumor they created. (Not that it is such a bad thing I guess.)

-          But our flag was hanged properly which is probably the first time.

-          May break: a whole week off! Sometimes I really love Germany. (Actually, it is pretty awesome here most of the time.)

-          Now I will catch up on all my homework, assignments, essays, presentations, kanji and vocabulary studying. I will.

-          Also, I will finally find out where to get literature for my bachelor thesis. I will.

-          Tandem is seriously one of the very best things you can do to improve your speaking skills in a language. Plus it´s free. Do it.

-          Time flies. I am already looking for tickets back home. More than half of my Erasmus stay is over.

-          Despair is: when you forget to buy a tooth paste and the shops are closed on Sundays.
