He came, he saw, he went. Simple as his name, Edo.
Edo is a long-time friend of Paula. They met in the Faculty of Biology when Paula was still working on her doctorates degree. Edo was 16 then, eleven years younger than Paula, going to high school and knowing more of Biology than some (it is probably more accurate if I write »most«) students of Biology even then. Now he is studying for his master’s degree in Dresden (before that he spent a couple of months in a lab in Australia), doing something with brain functions and whatnot. I must admit that when Paula and Edo converse, I feel I would rather talk to a German. I would definitely understand more of that conversation. But other than being brilliant at what he does, which he does with passion (just like Paula – what is it with these biologists and their passion for work), Edo is a really nice stand-up guy with a brilliant future in science. And he is also our first visitor here in Germany. But he stayed with us only for a day. It was brief but very pleasant. I hope I showed him everything I have learned about the beer culture in Germany, I sure did try. 🙂
So we went to the city, we watched a couple of movies while kids were sleeping, we ate, we roller-skated after almost a decade of non-roller-skating and then we drove him to the bus station.
Edo at Thiergarten, impressed as we were. / Edo v Tiergartnu, očaran, kot sva bila midva.
We had luck with the weather. / Z vremenom smo imeli kar veliko sreče.
Means of transportation. / Oni takole, jaz na rolerjih.
Uuuuu look at he flowers ;). / Uuuuu, kakšne lepe rožice. 😉
We took Edo to a pastry shop and realised this is our kids first time in a pastry shop. They were on a sugar rush later. / Edota sva peljala v slaščičarno in ugotovila, da sta otroka prvič v slaščičarni. Potem sta imela preoblico sladkorja v krvi.
Little climbing with Edo. /In še malo plezanja z Edom.
Edo iz Slovenije:
Je prišel, nas je videl in je šel. Na kratko, Edo.
Edo je dolgoletni Paulin prijatelj. Spoznala sta se na Fakulteti za Biologijo, ko je Paula še pripravljala svoj doktorat. Edo je štel 16 let takrat, kar enajst let mlajši od Paule in je že takrat verjetno vedel več o biologiji, kot nekateri (mogoče kar večina) študentov biologije. Sedaj dela magisterij v Dresdnu (pred tem je delal nekaj mesecev v nekem laboratoriju v Avstraliji), in sicer nekaj v zvezi z možgani ali nekaj podobnega. Moram priznati, da bi razumel več pogovora med Nemcema, kot razumem, ko se pogovarjata Edo in Paula. Razen tega, da je briljanten v tem kar dela, kar dela z zanosom in strastjo (nekako tako kot Paula – še vedno ne vem kaj je s temi biologi in njihovo strastjo do dela), je Edo tudi super fant (no, skoraj že možakar) s svetlo prihodnostjo v znanosti. Je pa tudi naš prvi obisk v Nemčiji. Na žalost je ostal z nami le en dan. Bilo je kratko in sladko. Upam le, da sem mu pokazal vse kar sem se naučil o nemški pivovski kulturi. Vsekakor sem se potrudil. 🙂
Smo bili v mestu, smo pogledali par filmov, ko sta otroka spala, smo veliko jedli, smo rolali po skoraj desetletju brez rolanja in potem sva ga odpeljala na avtobusno postajo.
Zelo sem bila vesela ko sem slišala, da vaju bo Edo obiskal . Po današnjem pogovoru po skaypu sem tudi videla, da je zelo razpoložen in da se je lepo imel. Ko bosta na obisku v slo se javita, da vas povabim na en burek, če bosta utegnila, ker Edo ko pride za par dni še jaz in Zijo ga komaj vidiva. Želim vam vsem prijetno bivanje v Nemčiji in da vse dobro. Lep pozdrav iz deževne Ljubljane. Esada
mmmm, vaflji :))))
Jep, zelo mljask je bilo. Smo se pa kr vsi najedli iz tega, ker sta bila tako ogromna.
[…] the weekend we have gotten an interesting visit – Edo. Edo was the first visitor to see us during our time in Germany and he is the last visitor to see us […]
