forgot to tell you about Eurovision Night





Well what a night that turns out to be. there were 11 people at andreas' house.. and funnily enough, i actually knew all of them.. weird how i can know so many people away from home. ended up drinking beaucoup beers and even a tequilla.. yes i know.. the devils drink.

i still think that Germany's song was the best, but Finland won.. ok the song wasnt my beer, but the costumes and special effects were great, so due to the effort the deserved to win i guess.

was so strange to see how serious they take it here... well serious but also in a joking way. when back home its so far removed from us and we make fun of it on SBS..

But was a great night and to get swept up in all the excitement was fun.. Probably becuase i wa in Germany and rooting for them and getting disappointed when they lost.

was the first night i really felt i could join the conversation when i wanted and that people were actually interested in what i had to say, becuase i was speaking nearly only german. it was like i was my own person rather than this guy who is visiting andreas. so was a nice time. we ate like pigs, drank and drank and a good night was had by all.

Have uploaded a couple of pics from the night in my online photos.
