I'm going to the radio from the university today and do a little something there. And then maybe drink something in the evening. Sounds good. What do you do on the radio? Is it an open radio? Yes. Or student radio? It's a training radio, which is at the university. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the university. I talk about films, books, events. That's great. What are you up to today? Actually still working. I'm a musician. Exactly, so writing music. Ah, very cool. What kind of music do you do? Everything from rock to pop. I have a band. But I'm also a musician myself. With my own project. I plan to go to an English seminar today. And then I would probably like to have dinner with my mom. And just have a good time. Probably with a book. I also like to read in the evening. What are you up to today? I'm going for a walk with this guy. And then I have football training. So not so much today. Otherwise I always do a lot for the university. But today is a day off. I'm going to the Dutch course right now. And then I'll learn Dutch. What do you learn Dutch for? My boyfriend is Dutch. And I want to speak his mother tongue. Very nice. For love. I'm going to the hairdresser now. Are you looking forward to it? Totally, yes. How often do you go to the hairdresser? I go to the hairdresser every three months. And I dye my hair today. What are you doing today? We just came from a walk with groceries. I can see that. What do you have there? Healthy things. Tomatoes, broccoli. We bought cheese. Is it still being sold today? Exactly. There is a salad with warm components. We're going for a walk. I'm going with you. You have to go somewhere. I'm meeting a friend in a cafe. And we're going for a walk together. Exactly. What kind of cafe? The Vietnamese cafe Cavo. There is delicious banh mi and vegan cake. And very good coffee. I still have to work now. And then I'm going for a walk with my little dog and my girlfriend. And that's it. How long do you have to work? Until 5 p.m. Do you have a break? I have a break. I just came from the office and go to the home office. We want to go to a record shop and look for some vinyl records. Very cool. And after that? After that we go for a coffee. A relaxed afternoon. A very relaxed afternoon. What are you going to do today? We want to do a city tour and look at all the historic buildings in the city center. And after that, we are currently at a congress. We still have to go to the opening. I'm on a further education and have brought the day to write the final report of this six-week further education. Oh dear, that sounds very exciting. Which training? A mental health further education. Ah great, that means you are a pastor? Yes, I am a pastor, exactly. Oh, that's great. We want to go shopping in the city and then we want to go for a drink later. So this evening. Any occasion or just cozy? No, cozy. So we wanted to meet a few friends that we haven't seen in a long time. And exactly, we both have nothing to do at the university tomorrow. And is the beer culture among the students still as pronounced as 1870 or something? I don't know how that was. All Karl Marx and all these philosophers, they always philosophized with a mass. Janusz, this morning we spontaneously got on the train and drove to Leipzig. We want to do that more often now, don't we? Yes, because we are proud owners of BahnCard 100. Exactly, BahnCard 100 is a nationwide flat rate for railway traffic. So an annual subscription where you can use almost all trains of the Deutsche Bahn and in the local transport offer unlimitedly. The best thing is, you are also super flexible and can just spontaneously get on every train without a ticket. Janusz, where else would you like to go? Yes, we were already in Munich last week for one evening. Next week I'm going to Münster to visit a friend. I'm really looking forward to it. Spontaneously getting on a train and driving through Germany at any time, you can do that too. With BahnCard 100, in addition to all trains of the Deutsche Bahn, the Deutschlandticket is also included, with which you can use U-Bahn and trams for free in German local transport. Many thanks to Deutsche Bahn for the support with BahnCard 100. Do you also want to travel flexibly and spontaneously through Germany? Then take a look at the link in the info box. And what have you been doing today so far? Not so much today. Had breakfast. Scrolled a little too long on Instagram Reels. I was out with my dog. And I put on my clothes. That's something. What have you been doing today? I drank for him. Great. I had a drink with him. And I let my hair down in the Bella studio. Where is that going? Serious question. On YouTube, yes. But we are the good guys on YouTube. I was in Rosenthal today. At the viewing window. And we watched the giraffes and rhinos. Wow. I've already been told that you have an incredibly great zoo here, right? Yes. I grew up here. And the zoo is really great. You can see it critically. But I think the Zoo Leipzig is really nice. And what have you been doing today so far? Slept comfortably on a free day. What have I done today? A little something for the university. I set up my new iPad. I got that yesterday. What else did I do? Cooked lunch. What did you cook? Noodles with pesto. That was very challenging. Typical student food. Yes, but it always tastes the best. And that's it. Well, it's not that late yet. And then the bird came by. I had an internship at the chemistry lab. And I'm going to deal with learning now. Because I'm taking an exam tomorrow. Wow, that's great. And ... It's not great. At least hardworking. Sensible. You see? So-so. What you have to do. What have you been doing so far? That's a very bad day for this question. Not much today. I went swimming. And that's ... I did a little something at home. Otherwise I work in the morning. But that's nice. It's productive. Especially that you went swimming. Yes, that's true. Well, I slept a little first. And we both study music. I had my first lesson there. Relatively relaxed. At 11.15. And then we went to eat something. Which instrument? We have the main organ. Church music is the course of study. Beautiful. And what have you been doing so far today? We were drinking coffee earlier. Then we went shopping. And now it's going back again. Enjoy the weather a little more. Yes, it's nice today. Not so cold. What did you buy? I bought a lot of vegetables. Noodles. Yogurt. Lemons. And ... I don't have to look. No, that's it. This morning I went for a walk with the dog. And then I walked to the city center. I like to walk to work. It's about 30 minutes. It's always nice to get your head clear. And that's where I did my job. I work for an IT company in the personnel area. And what have you been doing so far? We checked into the hotel. And then we were at the congress. At a seminar. And now we have the free time to look around a bit. And did you discover something nice? Yes. The coffee with the elephant head. I just don't know what it's called. There are always beautiful facades when you look up. You don't see them because you just walk straight through the streets. Yes, that's true. Very impressive. I'm on vacation today. I had a four and a half hour journey. I love Leipzig. We do too. We were just talking. But here the building is also a bit parallel. The building is lined with gold. Yes, great. Wow. At that time there was no money to tear it down. Fortunately, you have to say today. Because they were all put in place. Yes, and it's just a great city. Today we are in Leipzig for the first time. Can you recommend something to me? Something you can do or have to see. Eat a piece of Eierschecke. There may be better ones in Dresden. Eierschecke? Eierschecke. It's a classic Saxon specialty. What is it exactly? It's a cake with egg. I can't prepare it. But eat it. Then we will try it. Thank you. What else can you recommend to me? What can you do in Leipzig? Yesterday I was in the Arabian Coffee Tree for the first time. That's an old coffee house in Leipzig. There is an exhibition on the topic of coffee, coffee trade. Also about the colonial era. How the coffee came to us. And how the Leipzig coffee culture has developed. That's very exciting. And I think it's free. The city center is definitely worth it. There is the Museum of Fine Arts. You can go in there. Or the Museum of Contemporary History. It's more about the history of the GDR. The history of the new federal states. You can experience something beautiful and historical for free. Otherwise, the Christmas market is already being set up. That's why there is not much to experience on the market. My favorite museum is the Museum of Contemporary History. Here in front. A red house. There is an exhibition on the Sandman. The history of the Sandman. I know the Sandman from my childhood. Exactly. With East German. You can do that very well. Look at the exhibition for 1-2 hours. Thank you. I'm really looking forward to it. Leipzig is a historic city. You can take a tour through the city. You can get to know the history. If you go down here, you can see the Kali. This is a student dining area. There are small shops. That's interesting, too. There are many museums here. With great things. Is there a Bach Museum? Yes, there is a Bach Museum right next to the Thomaskirche. I'll come back here. Leipzig is the music city. Mendelssohn was also here. Mendelssohn rediscovered Bach. Bach was not played for a long time. Mendelssohn worked here as a bandmaster of the Gewandhaus. Many great publishers were founded here. What would you recommend to us? What else could we experience in the city? The zoo. Especially the Gondwanaland. Even more beautiful than in Münster? No comparison. In Münster, it's bombastic. You can't compare the Gondwanaland to anything. It's huge. There is gastronomy. There are waterfalls. There are free-living animals. There are bridges where you can get close to the monkeys. Also the black mambas? Not free-living. That would be tragic. But definitely the Leipziger Zoo. Now we are curious. What are your plans for today? Write us in the comments. Janusz, how did you like Leipzig today? Totally. I am really impressed by the city and the people. I have already promised myself to come to Leipzig again. Before we do that, we drive back to Berlin. See you next time. Bye!
