  16. Sori po, parang di ko maatim na naka-rubber shoes pumunta sa mga libs. :D
    Pero comfortable naman shoes ko ng lagay na yan. Socks were the problem. Thin socks = some friction, ayun... :( Wore thicker socks the succeeding days.

  17. One of the libraries which comprise the "national libraries" of Germany.
    The others being Leipzig, Bavarian State, etc.

    This one is the legal repository of all works published in Germany, two copies each. All stored underground. Old Materials and serials retrieved by request and sent via those cute booklifts. :D Newspapers on microformats. :D Walls below are 1.5m thick, since it was a bomb shelter before.
