Monday (24/1/11)
Usually, we eat in the Mensa, which is okay. But we all receive eight vouchers at the beginning of the semester to be used at the Kartause’s big restaurant- the “Kartausen Keller”. We can choose to go during lunch (which, I have heard, is a wildcard), or to go during dinner (where there is European pizza :-) ). There is a limit of 15 people for lunch and for dinner on any given day, so demand is high sometimes.
This night, I chose to get the Pizza Capricosa at the Kartausen Keller.
It is a very clean and nice restaurant. The service and the waiters are excellent. The pizza was fantastic. It had ham, bacon, grilled chicken, and (surprise!) mushrooms, amongst other things. :-D
Two things to note: The pizza was not pre-cut. I was fine with it; it was actually a fun challenge to cut it up and eat it. :-)
The other thing: there is not much sauce on the pizza. It is customary to have ketchup on your pizza here. I decided to try it out- and it went amazingly well with the pizza! :-)
Tuesday (25/1/11)
Some random pics. Some person named Patience (who I do not know… or remember :-( ) had a birthday, so that’s what the snowman is all about.
And this is the day I got reminded of who redesigned the Carthusian church: Walter Hildebrand.

Top left: The St. Francis fountain is covered in snow. Snow is everywhere. Yay, snow.
Top right: the view from our window. It is an awesome view! There is also a deck here that we (luckily enough) are allowed to go on. Maybe I’ll go out more when it gets warmer.
Last three: We had some kind of a party… I can’t remember what for. Note the chocolate Austrian cookies, especially, and the Almdydler ginger ale (it has honey or something in it, and is very good! It is very well-known.)
Thursday (27/1/11)
I was very exhausted this morning, as I had just suffered through another main campus night class (which translates to 12-2:45 a.m. for me). Maybe that’s why I wanted to take another photo of the fountain, when I clearly had one already. Or maybe I was excited about the snow. Who knows. :-)
Coming up: Salzburg / Munich trip
