The Research Building
The other day I have decided not to post everyday because, frankly, there isn’t much information I can post, unless I do something cool like visiting the Holocaust museum, or eat at a Thai restaurant (which I’ll be doing soon and writing about it, just to make a few people jealous 
).
The first day at the Institute was…different from what I was used to – go figure. When I reached the imposing 22 stories high building, the first order of business was to get to the 10th floor. The elevators here are tricky (and fast) – there is a panel of numbers, you dial what floor you want to reach, and the display shows you which elevator to take, this basically removed the issue of people pressing the numbers inside the elevator. Very neat. I met the director, a very cool gentleman I might add, and after I spoke a little about myself, he presented the workings of the Institute. I was assigned to a lab, and met a couple of people, who were kind enough to share their knowledge with me. The lunch is served at the cafeteria, but boy what a cafeteria. You have the choice of the daily menu or other foods, which are priced by their weight – a strange, yet effective concept – you pig out, you pay!
Blessed Thursday was the day but of course it was spent while resting actively – translation = cleaning my laptop. The poor dear has not been cleaned since its purchase (some 2 years and a couple of months), so I tackled the process of removing ALL keys from the keyboard, giving them a good scrub.
), therefore I think it’s one of the remotest place from my country (and I’m sure the trip would cost me an arm, a leg and my first born, but traveling requires sacrifices, right?).
