Pénteken egész nap a kórházban voltunk, és végre sikerült néhány habszivacs darabon tesztelni a robotot. Az eredmény nem volt teljesen kielégítő, de így is élveztem. Szombaton tartottuk Helmuth búcsúbuliját, mivel ezen a héten végleg visszamegy Németországba. Ez alkalomból Tianéknál nagy rakottkrumplizás volt. Három tepsinyit csináltam, vagy 5 kg krumpliból, de végül alig maradt, nagyon ízlett a népnek. Jó sokan eljöttek, és remek házibuliba torkollott a vacsora.

I was pretty busy last week with work, just as the other folks in the lab; deadlines are approaching quickly. I managed to save some time for wall-climbing and playing squash though. On Tuesday we went out to eat at Museum of Art’s elegant restaurant: Gertrude’s. They had a special offer on the menu, so I had a chance to finally taste the famous Crab cake. It consists of cleaned crab meat, vegetables, spices, all baked together in a cake shape. Delicious indeed! We had a beautiful snowfall on Thursday that covered the entire campus into white. Unfortunately it all meted before the cold weather arrived.
Helmuth’s farewell party was on Saturday at Tian’s place, as he is leaving back for Germany this week. I cooked Rakott krumpli (layered potatoes) in great amount. Everybody liked it, and the dinner lead to a crazy house party when all the others arrived.
Monday was Holiday – Martin Luther King’s day. Martin Luther King Jr. was probably the most important American civil right activist in the 20th century. Originally he was a Baptist minister, but become involved in organizations pushing for the rights of black people. He was youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means, and also a great orator. His most famous speech is “I have a dream…” that he addressed to more than 200.000 people from the stairs of the Lincoln Monument in 1963. He was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis. Ronald Reagan signed the law in 1983 to found a national holiday commemorating his birthday (always the third Monday of January), but it only become widely accepted by the States in the 90s.
