OK so I have failed again to keep to my word of regular
updates. I do hope you can forgive me. This time I thought I would give you a random summary of
strange/funny things that have happened in the last week or so.
First of all, an update on the edginess front. Yesterday
there was a random ‘alternative’ night right by my flat, with rapping, graffiti
art and vegan food. I didn’t actually go, or even spend any time there... but I
took a video from the bus stop. DOES THAT MAKE ME COOL?
I have now experienced two karaoke nights in Tubingen. Rapping
Eminem numbers by heart seems to be the done-thing here, something I am
obviously extremely good at. Video to follow... JOKES!
The number of bakeries may well kill me here- so many
delicious carbs. Hopefully my over enthusiasm in signing up for Florball (what
I think is indoor hockey) and
Lacrosse will go some way in rectifying any damage I have already done to my
health. Although according to a friend who has played Lacrosse before I may
well lose all my teeth and die in the process of playing it. At least I would
die super-toned?!
Travelling back from Munich during Oktoberfest season at
rush hour is not a good plan but does result in a perfect opportunity for
photos featuring looks of horror and dismay (see facebook...). And for playing the ‘is that man
over there asleep or unconscious’ game.
I have now sampled Russian borsch, Hungarian goulash and
Polish pirogi whilst here in Tubingen. I fear that my turn to wow and amaze my
international friends with my culinary prowess is drawing closer. Any tips for
the perfect roast/ how not to poison people would be greatly welcomed.
The ‘Christmas tree’, now my signature dance move, is
gaining fans abroad (ok well maybe one fan, and probably only out of pity). I am deeply grateful to whoever it was that taught me it
at a wedding reception a while back.
Oh, and it is SOOO COLD HERE. It is apparently now colder
here than in Moscow!! I shall persevere and try and resolve the issue by
wearing increasing layers of clothing and pretending that it’s a fashion
statement.
Sorry for the randomness of the post, probably
representative of a slightly random week. I start lectures on Monday which is a
bit terrifying but I will then have a bit more of a routine which should be
good! J
