My building, Hochschulstrasse 50, the "International Guest House."

I guess the IGH has been around for 50+ years, but lucky for me it was rebuilt in 2002. It's pretty nice, and clean.

The view of Dresden from my window on the 13th floor.

The Max Bergmann Zentrum for Biomaterials. It's not actually on the Technsiche Universitaet Dresden campus, but pretty close to my apartment, and I don't mind biking. This is where I work most of the time; some of our experiments that involve radioactive materials are all done in a different lab on the Technische Universitaet Dresden campus. The building isn't as pretty so I didn't take a picture.

This is the Altmarkt (old market), about a half hour walk away from my apartment. Dresden is famous for having the oldest Christmas market in Germany - almost 600 years old - and this is the site. As you can see, in the summer they move away the boothes and it's pretty empty, except on Saturdays there is usually some kind of festival going on.
