Eurotrip's final stages

This year's trip is on to its final stages,

After the interview last week, and some days of waiting, I finally got my visa today!! :D

From last week, here's the building where the embassy is located:




My visitor card. ^_^




I tend to get hungry when I'm stressed.=_="
Quick fix before heading back to work. XD



[If you follow me on instagram @xxpepperonixx you may have seen these photos already~~ ;D]

And here's the package that arrived this morning~~ My passport and visa inside! :3

Now I can officially start packing like mad! XD

At the Botschaft

Botschaft is actually German for embassy.


already the third person to visit!

Had to wake up awfully early today (06:30am -- hehe, although I used to wake up earlier back in univ!) for my scheduled interview.

I ended up getting there an hour earlier than my scheduled time. XD The embassy was already open by then so I headed up, hoping to be interviewed early.

Unfortunately I was told to come back later -- at my original appointment time. n_n""

With not much to do, decided to have some breakfast.



The smell of coffee and bacon... so tempting!



The place was vibrant and well-lit, quite filled with people eating bacon in the morning!



Of course I had to have it too.



Another photo I took before we left, inviting and funky, don't you think?



-

Photos of the building's interior. It's nice to walk around here in the morning. (such a corporate feel!) -- not sure what it's like for the people who actually work here though!





I hope the week started well with everyone else too!

I was in heels and wore a dress today.



I wish I could have taken a photo of myself.. but there were so many people.... >///< (..photos taken with my mobile. Had to be discreet with the photo-taking.XD)

Recently acquired books!

I love thrift stores, I love rare finds, and I love things that are on sale! :O

There is this local bookstore I frequent. Has a very wide selection of books (and also a lot of trashy/nonsense ones..). If you're lucky you can find something nice.>_<

Where I live, it is almost impossible to get your hands on foreign-language materials, let alone books in other languages. >_<" So this bookstore is really a godsend! ^_^

Bought these two:



The illustrated Larousse one I really like.XD But it's very heavy.=_=

Was also given a free book for my purchases. [also bought some other books besides these]



Not familiar with this, not sure if I will read it, since I still have a ton of books lined up..:3

There is a map on the first page:
