Vikas Aggarwaal took us to the Black Forest in south western Germany. The scenery made it feel like home 🙂 We took a short Gondola ride to the top of a ski field (summer season) and went on a scenic walk through the forest.
Chemistry lab in Heidelberg
Our lab got renovated recently. It doesn’t look anything like this old school chemistry lab we saw at the Heidelberg castle though!
Internal shoulder photos
Look away now if you don’t like seeing icky stuff. The following photos are of the internals of my shoulder as seen through an athroscopic probe during a Bankhardt repair performed in late November.
Japanese delicacies
Vicki and I stopped over in Japan on our way back from Europe. Here are some lovely photos of the wonderful delicacies you can enjoy whilst visiting 😀
I must have been hungry as I ate a whole bunch of these fish, eyeballs and all! They had a nice ginger taste to them and washed down well with a cold glass of coke (which was necessary as it was darn hot there).
Eel spines, apparently they're a chewey snack!? No I did not try these, they look gross.
I also tried authentic Japanese sushi and a few other generic local foods, but I won’t bore you with photos of those.
Random people pics
Here are some photos I found kicking around on my hard drive that I’d forgotten to upload to the web.

Heidelberg
After our day trip to Karlsruhe, Vicki and I met up with Vikas == (another former labmate of mine) and headed over to Heidelberg. When we arrived, we met up with my old friend Sandra and Vikas’s friend Stephanie.

The city is incredibly beautiful. High up on the hilltop is the famous Heidelberg Castle which went to visit.
