These are pictures I took during my trip to China in summer 2002. The main part was a students' exchange at the Huazhong University for Science & Technology in Wuhan, Central China.
With five fellow students from the Free University of Berlin, we also travelled to see Beijijng, Shanghai and Hong Kong as you can see here.
An introduction to the exchange program and more pictures are available from the computer science's departments official site.
During my stay at the Department for Electronics and Information Technology of the Huazhong University for Science & Technology
in Wuhan I joined a project of Proffessor Lu's group on intelligent building technology.
To help me both with the work and organising my life on the campus, Luo Huaien was assigned my link man and after a few nights
in the canteen we became good friends. Just as important as working on the project was the cultural exchange, so we often went
on trips together with Proffessor Lu, Luo Huaien and other fellow students like Lu En, Sun Quin Mei and Lee Chang. I must say
that, thanks to them, I really had a wonderful time at Wuhan!
We lived in the foreign students dormatory where we made friends with
people from Africa, Nepal, Palestine and many more on the various parties and sit-ins in front of the building which usually
lasted until the Shi Fu got very tired ;)
With students from my department in front of the HUST main building showing the Chinese people's hero Mao.
To my left: Proffessor Lu and my super link man Luo Huaien, to my right Sun Quin Mei.

Presenting the result of my project to the other students.
Unfortunately, I have no pictures from our room yet. However, there is a little story about a rat
which I think illustrates the situation quite well. (sorry, in German only)
In the main canteen of our university.
Each portion was cooked individually on order.
Having breakfast before we're off to the labs..
A nice pond with lotus flowers on the campus.
