days 17-21: ulm

** I just made 15 cents returning a bottle! recycling is fun and profitable! It's been exactly 3 weeks since my arrival in Ulm. I missed the market this morning because I'm at uni with Flo...But it's not that bad, we got to walk past and see all the old ladies with their baskets walking around the square, so at least the market wasn't forgotten completely. Not much has happened since the last update, except that I've been working on the midi and Tsinghua projects. During Flo's lecture today, I came up with my first lecture for China. The week is themed Music & Culture and my lecture is about how airplanes are bad for rock & roll.
So far, this is my list of rock artists killed in plane crashes:

• Buddy Holly
• Richie Valens
• The Big Bopper
• Otis Redding
• The Bar Kays
• Jim Croce
• Lynyrd Skynard
• Randy Rhodes
• Ricky Nelson
• John Denver
• Aaliyah

The next week's lecture is supposed to be about the Olympics because Beijing is hosting in 2008 and I want to talk about Trampolining, but I'm having trouble coming up with an entire lecture that can include my favorite Olympic sport. My last week's lecture is supposed to be about a hot topic, yet appropriate for a lecture, so i guess legalization of marijuana is out of the question. Maybe a lecture about the health benefits of chocolate will be good. Just because I can bring chocolate for the class because everyone likes food. The only thing is chocolate isn't that controversial.
