Germany barbershop

I went today to get a haircut. And since it was a Saturday, I decided to go on the other side of the city, near to the border with France, where there is some big place that looks like a mall. It's called SaarBasar. Now, hearing the name wasn't that convincing, since in my head I could see only one basar, the Romanian one. The Romanian basar is a bunch of people selling usually stolen or alsmot broken things. Apparently, in Germany this is not the case. After a bit of confusion caused by the transportation (at some point I had to change the way of walking), I arrived at the mall. And, what do you know, the first thing in the place was a barbershop called "Figaro".
There were some things different from Cyprus or Romania. The hairdressers were young women, with pink died hair and full of tattoos. That's a new thing to see. I expected to see these kind of people in the mall, not doing haircuts. Also, the magazines available for reading were actually from this week and not from 2 years ago, like in Cyprus. In Romania you can barely find a decent place with something to read while you wait. Unfortunately, they still didn't speak English or French. Just good old German. Good thing I know how to say "short" and "shorter" in German. It helps a lot. You still get a haircut even if you don't know German. :-)
While being there I also tried some pizza place. It was the weirdest serving place. You would pay at the counter and sit quietly at a table of your choice. And at some point some guy would come and scream the name of the food in the place. If you felt it was yours, you would just raise your hand. I've never seen before this kind of restaurant. Might be some new Italian way of serving the food. :D That's why the Italian people is famous for the chaos, I guess.

The times before arriving to Germany

About 3 weeks ago I moved to Germany. More specifically, to a small town, called Saarbrücken. This small town is situated in the Saarland region, the smallest in Germany. It looks like a small dot when you look on the whole Germany map.
Why did I move? Because I want to follow the courses of a Master in Computer Science here, at Universität des Saarlandes. This was the first reason. Other reasons would be that I wanted to have a change in my life and that I wanted to see how is it to live in Western Europe. After all, almost two years of living in Cyprus should be enough to get an idea.
While leaving Cyprus I had the "opportunity" to see the true Cypriot working class mentality and stupidity ranging from a "I forgot to send the documents to the bank" excuse and having a climax with "Oops! It seems we misread your travel plan for going home and did not see that you live in Iasi!". I can't say it was such a pleasant leaving, but at least I had some fun with my friends in the last days.
Before coming to Germany, I did go home for a week. It was such a pleasant week. I got to meet many friends and I didn't have to work afterwards. :)
I left for Germany with mixed feelings. On one hand I was excited to try a new life, on the other hand I was a bit scared of going to an unknown place and starting over. But I guess that the excitement was more powerful.
