Inside the Maze
The University of Constance is one great piece of architecture. A friend once sayed it looked like Mies van der Rohe met Hundertwasser and they had some LSD together. People need years until they find their way around.

I finally got a modern phone and made it go online! Although it was way beyond midnight I went outside to test it. And within no time GPS mission was running and I could start collecting some gold. A nice walk around the block. The next day I went ...
