I am back in Cologne since 4 days. First of all I have had a good and save trip home and reintegrated into Germany and the university. I had a small farewell get together on my last day and I already miss my friends in Cairo.
I have been in egypt 3 months in total. In the beginning time was passing by slow, but in the end it was really running. Back in Germany people ask me if I have a shock being back... no, but I notice how organised and because of that how easy a lot of things are.
Surely I cannot write down all my experiences and feelings about my internship (btw. you don't need to know them all anyway ;-)) but I wanna share some of the things I learned with you.
* Be observing in your life. Watch out and reflect about was is going on around you. Try to improve the situation every day starting with your own actions. Life is short and it is boring standing on a stetteled spot.
* All the people worldwide are the same, they may look different on the outside, but inside we are all the same. With the same needs and beliefs. It is essential that we communicate with people we don't know to avoid misunderstandings.
* I believe in the power of knowledge and I am very happy that I am able to study :-)
* There are always good and bad things in everything. If something is not going good in your eyes ask yourself: why and what can I do to turn it into something good.
* Be courious and travel the world!!
I want to say thank you to all my friends in Egypt for all the help and the nice hours I was allowed to spend with them. I hope to return soon!
Yours Peter
