^{Washington, DC}

^{I have been to the capital many times because I lived really close by. I still enjoy every visit
and I love to spend time in this untypical American city. This picture was taken in November 1997 on the Mall in front of the Lincoln Memorial.}
 

^{New York City}

This picture looks better in real but I love the clouds and the outlook. It was taken Dec. 31, 1997
from atop of the Empire State Building.

San Francisco

This picture is taken in March 1995 in front of the Coit Tower and shows me and my friend Rabea (right).

Leipzig

Leipzig, the second largest city in Eastern Germany (after Berlin). The new City Hall is in
the front and the Leipzig University Building in the back. I passed this intersection every day
on my bike-ride to the University from the place where I lived.

This is a close-up of the university. The building's nicknames are "Wisdom tooth" or "Textbook".
The complex was build in the 1970's after a controversial debate over the destruction of the
old university church.

Dresden

Dresden is the capital of the federal state of Saxony. I worked for the public transportation
company in Dresden and got to know every corner of the city. It's a very beautiful place! I also
worked at McDonald's on the main pedestrian mall and helped many visitors get around and
gave them advice on where to go.
This picture shows the cathedral and the Semper Opera house. On the right side, invisible because of
the trees,  is the river Elbe.

This is the inside of the "Zwinger", one of the amusement places of King August, dem Starken.

This is Prager Strasse (the main street I mentioned above), and just next to the water fountains
is the McDonald's, my McDonald's...

Saechsische Schweiz

This site is very close to the Czech border and our weekend house. This is the place,
right across this rock "Lilienstein", where my parents spend almost every Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. Here again, the river Elbe is just a stone throw away. I had a wonderful time
with my rowing friends when we toured this region by boat.

Athens

There is no way I would not mention Athens, and here we go:

By the way, it does not always look like this...

Here is the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism where I spend most of my time (the Alden Library is behind Scripps):
