A BIG WELCOME

Dear all,

I hope you don't mind all this written in English but as also people that do not speak German that well will read this should be able to see how things are going on over here in sunny Los Angeles. I used to have another layout for Photos and News but apparently some problems occured while trying to see pictures with FIREFOX so that I changed to a Blog that seems to work with various Browsers! Whatever Browser you may use...you should be able to see all the pictures I upploaded :-) If not...let me know!

Why Iam I doing all this! Quite easy...I cannot talk to everyone on the phone to let you know what I experienced and will experience here, so I decided to create the news thingy to let you participate in what is going on here :-)!

Quite a lot of things happened so far and I can already say that LA is a real nice place to be regarding the diversity of people (Mexicans, Americans, Chinese, Japanese, African Americans=Blacks, etc)

I have started my internship at Lufthansa Cargo about a week ago and I can say that the company itself is so far definately worth working for and I got some very nice colleagues from around the globe! Me and three other German interns are working on different areas (handling, sales, quality) and me being the controlling intern for the Region of west and middle America! The office is directly located at the LA int. Airport and it is nice to watch all the planes arriving and leaving every 3 minutes. Some told me that Quantas also has regular flights from Sidney to LA with the new Airbus A380! As soon as I have the pics...I will let you know!

Apart from that. I am living in Culver City that is about 1:15 minutes by Bus and only 15 mins by car away from the airport that I am working at! Yes...you´re right that taking the bus takes some time!!! And I am looking out for cars to buy since the United States are not made for people using public transport! but..as long as I can go to work without having a lot of trouble...I am fine and dont have stress:-). I share a House with an elderly couple that is very nice and another intern from Germany who works somewhere else!!!

As you can see in the pictures, I have already visited the most important Spots (Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Venice Beach) and soon I will provide you with some pictures from Basketball games and other pictures that are nice to look at:-)

Hope you are all doing well!!!!

Alex
