  1. Not liking something is NOT THE SAME as hating it.
  2. With above point in mind, I do not like MS Word – reasons for not liking it could actually be another blog entry and I will reserve it for some other day.

Thanks to all the walking I got to do in town as well as between train station and the research center has added pleasure of walking to the list of new things learned or old things re-realized during my stay here. Although I wanted (desperately) to visit Ulm for scientifically historic reasons (hint: some body hailing from here went on to make 1905 annus mirabilis), but the length of the journey (nearly 6 hours one way, not counting layovers) and the cost of the journey (about € 100 each way) changed my plans.
