Yes, I am still here

After half a year of silence, it is time to write an update on this blog!

I am still in england, experiencing a country which is much more exotic to me than Nepal, Brazil or Singapore:
- Strange English breakfast (no, Dean did NOT manage to turn me to a baked-beans-on-toast-lover)
- the British obsession with the class system (a usual conversation: "Well, me as a typical middle class person think this and that")
- the enormous diversity in the society makes the heart of an anthropologist beat higher - within walking distance in Manchester I can go to the Pakistani/Indian Curry mile, Chinatown or the traditional British Pub!

I am enjoying my course a lot - it is very challenging and demanding, I am meeting really interesting scholars and feel like my mind grows a lot. But there is also the fighting with texts, forcing myself to read 8h a day and having a less action oriented life than when I worked for AIESEC.
I am spending a lot of time with Dean and nurturing ties with Swiss friends and family that will hopefully endure over distance and time.
My course will end in September, and the options at the moment are: Go for an internship, or find a really great job in Britain.
