First time at Technical University (TU) Berlin

My staying in Germany is connected to both GFZ-Potsdam and Technical University Berlin. Once a week, I will work there, sharing the office with Jens Wickert. This first day I had the opportunity to be introduced to several faculty members of the Geodesy and Geoinformatics Department and become acquainted to the surroundings.

It is quite easy to commute from Potsdam to Berlin. From Potsdam to Berlin's Zoologischer Garten Banhof (main train station) is 19 minutes by S-Bhan train. After that, just 10 minutes walking as far as to the TU Berlin campus.

Below, a few pictures I took that day.

Minha permanência na Alemanha está conectada à GFZ-Potsdam e à Technical University Berlin. Uma vez por semana, trabalharei lá, dividindo o escritório com Jens Wickert. Neste primeiro dia, tive a oportunidade de ser apresentado a vários professores do Departamento de Geodésia e Geoinformática e familiarizar-me com os arredores.

É muito fácil ir de Potsdam a Berlim. De Potsdam à estação de trem Jardim Zoologico de Berlim demora-se apenas 19 minutos de trem. Depois disso, mais 10 minutos a pé até o campus da TU Berlin.

Abaixo, algumas fotos que tirei naquele dia.

Bulgarian restaurant in Vienna

Image
In our first evening in Vienna, we went to investigate the area near our apartment and we found Seasons, a small Bulgarian restaurant. While Denise enjoyed the always good schnitzel I tried Gyuvetch, a Bulgarian dish, which I believe is named after the beautiful clay it is served in.  The pictures tell the story. At the end, I enjoyed the meal along with Bulgarian beer Zagorka. - - - - Na nossa primeira noite em Viena, fomos investigar a área perto do nosso apartamento e encontramos Seasons, um pequeno restaurante búlgaro. Enquanto Denise aprecisava um schnitzel, sempre bom, eu tentei o Gyuvetch, um prato búlgaro, que acredito ter o nome do lindo pote de argila que é servido. As fotos contam a história. No final, eu gostei da refeição juntamente com a cerveja búlgara Zagorka.

A bucolic and picturesque place, located inside a forest. We stayed in a small cottage they have for visiting researchers and scholars. GO Pecný date back to the 1960's and their main activity was the determination of astronomical latitude, longitude and azimuth, evening operations.
