Party an der Lahn und Eurovision

So as most people in Europe know last weekend was the Eurovision song contest, but as well at that it was a friends 26th birthday. He organised a Hawaiian themed BBQ by the river, unfortunately though it did rain a bit so we moved under the bridge (which was pretty thin, but kept us dry) it turned into another tunnel party. We joined up with 3 other people who were also celebrating so as you can see there were an awful lot of people.

So this lovely afternoon was followed by a night of Eurovision at our friend Emily’s house, with chocolate fondue and dressing up as countries. The Portsmouth girlies were altogether to support Blue (and even vote for them) plus an American who we thought should be introduced to the amazingness that is Eurovision. Although Blue didn’t win and were beaten marginally by Jedward they still did us proud and it was a great night.

 Look at that lovely Fondue goodness

Nacht der Museen und Tunnel Party

So in Frankfurt there is something that happens every year, the night of museums. Now this sounds a little similar to the film, but (whether you look at it as fortunate or not) there is no museum exhibits coming to life. Instead however pretty much every museum in Frankfurt from 7pm until 2am is open. They all hold different events alongside showing their normal exhibits and these places put on extra things like shows, movies music dancing. However this year we really weren’t prepared for this night so had to skip it and instead had a little shopping trip to Primark (yep Primark is here in Germany, even if its only one).

After getting back from Frankfurt and spending some time at Schwarz Weiss Jade and I were convinced on going to a tunnel party somewhere in Marburg. Now we were told it was at Stadthalle, so after walking there turned out it was so we all piled into a taxi and asked him to take us to it and to our surprise he actually knew where it was!

Now turned out this party wasn’t so much a tunnel party as more of an under a bridge party in a field in the middle of nowhere. But it was still impressive either way, a huge DJ deck, light show and a bar (where we got free beer as he kind of forgot to take the money). The whole night was pretty awesome and seeing the sunrise was a pretty impressive moment (especially as I usually leave a night out for bed at 3, which is when we actually got to this party) and the 6am taxi ride was interesting, getting home and going to bed when people were heading off to work :)

oh and on a most fantastic side note I passed linguistics on my second try :D

Easter and a proper Sunday roast

So its been a while since I last updated (I am just a tad forgetful sometimes) and quite a lot has happened so I shall post a few mini blog’s now to hopefully update everything.

So lets as the title of this post says talk about Easter and a proper Sunday lunch. As we weren’t at home this Easter (without easter eggs, as they seem to prefer bunnys over here) all of us Brits decided to attempt a Sunday roast. And surprisingly it went amazingly well considering the limited amount of utensils we have in our Halls. We cooked chicken, actual roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, and other veggies and I got a decent form of German Quorn thing too and chocolate cake with Birds custard for pudding. It was a lovely afternoon with games and chatting

Yummy yummy dinner :D

In Germany they also have quite a few traditional baked goods and one of those is a hare (kind of like a giant bunny shaped doughnut). Its pretty awesome you’ve got to admit :)
