I arrived in the university city of Greifswald where my good friend Sascha is studying. The university is 551 years old. We are suppose to see more of campus tomorrow. Last night I met Sascha's enjoyable friends and we spent the evening at the student run club on campus, MensaClub.
Sasacha's parents and his brother gave us a wake up call at 9am. We were off for a day at the beach on the Baltic Sea. Sascha's friends got to sleep in and joined us in the afternoon. Tonight I had my first experience with black noodles. It was interesting and somewhat good.
In Greifswald the next couple of days. I hope to get some pictures up here soon.

The Crane Wife is an old Japanese tale. While there are many variations of the tale, a common version is that a poor man finds an injured crane on his doorstep (or outside with an arrow in it), takes it in and nurses it back to health. After he releases the crane, a woman appears at his doorstep with whom he falls in love and marries. Because they need money, his wife offers to weave wondrous clothes out of silk that they can sell at the market, but only if he agrees never to watch her making them. They begin to sell them and live a comfortable life, but he soon makes her weave them more and more. Oblivious to his wife's diminishing health, his greed increases. He eventually peeks in to see what she is doing to make the silk she weaves so desirable. He is shocked to discover that at the loom is a crane plucking feathers from her own body and weaving them into the loom. The crane, seeing him, flies away and never returns.
