so we decided to start a travel journal and we have been here 5 days thus far... we are sitting in my bed (brittany's bed) at 12:06pm and youll be pleased to know.. we are not hungover... we believe that we may be ein bisschen still blau...
we are not sure how this occured last night. Last night was Putchkins Markt and it is the Oktoberfest of the North... or so we were informed. However... we dont really remember it too well... ok so we need to backdate to the beginning...
we arrived at the airport separately and brittany met up with the group and they lost meggies luggage... she was ok with it though because then she didnt have to carry it. then we were taken to the AIB (our school) and separated. we were really sad... seriously.
meggie lives with a single mom and her emo/punk/scary ass daughter who is 16.. we believe she may be dangerous... she lives in tannenbusch ie the ghetto.... so she stays with brittany most of the time... and we arent gonna lie... we spoon in a twin size bed....
brittany has her own apartment 5 min away by foot from the hauptbahnhof... (train station) and her family is indeifferent to her presence and we arent really sure about them... brittany has her own floor and doesnt really see her family.. she recieves random plates of spinach on occasion and heats it up.. but over 12 hours later... its still on her floor. along with an empty bottle of 3 euro wine. oops. es tut mir leid.
the first night we were good. we both fell asleep sober in our beds. good children we were.
Night two. we randomly ran into Loyola students from our school (they shall henceforth be called LMU kids) and went to an irish bar called "james joyce" with them. we got really drunk and lost each other. this is where the trip really began. i found my way home but fell asleep with all my clothes on. meggie however... oh meggie... she took the train home (we dont know how) and she took a taxi to her street but then proceeded to get lost on her street for an hour.... she peed in the grass and then flagged down a car with two turkish boys and they took her home. we were both home by 2 am. we both made it to german the next day but we had to take a placement test and the words were spinning... just chillin all over the page... k.
that night we proceeded to be sketchy. further. brittany met up with fu people and went back to james joyce (the pub) and she had to go meet meg at the train station and on the way there she met 3 german boys (tony, martin, and vincent). she met them because she was carrying around a jar of 3 euro wine that she and claire had split and they asked her to prost. britt said she had to go meet a friend and that she would be right back. on the way back she and meggie invited them to come with them to james joyce... o what a night. we then went to a sketchy ass basement club that played only 80's music... and managed to get home at 4am to brittanys house. aka meggies house. k.
the next morning we awoke already an hour late for our first german art class... sheise.. so we strolled in an hour and a half late... oops... es tut mir leid. ok. then we went to meggies house (aka the ghetto) and britt slept all day and meggie played on the computer. then we had dinner with megs housemom and went back to the city intending to have a quiet evening alone in a beer garden. little did we know how expensive this night was going to be. aaron (lmu boy) called us to meet their group in koln and we proceeded to board a train for disaster. we bought the wrong tickets and had to buy new ones but got there safely none the less... then we went to a student disco that played really s***ty music.... and we tried to dance to it... but we decided that we needed to drink to do this properly. uh oh. we proceeded to chug beer and nasty watery vodka shots and then danced. little did we know that the last train had departed while we danced the night away. we sat at the train station for an hour waiting for the train that would never come. and then left the lmu people and took a taxi back to bonn. the taxi driver charged us 50 euro. 50. yea.
the next day we were studious and responsible (we obtained our visas and attended our classes. but then. it happened. we were hit by a bus called putchkins markt.... we dont really remember much after entering the bavarian tent and meeting up with lmu and fu students. we drank a lot of beer. and we had split a bottle of 3 euro wine earlier in the night. we were done. obliterated. we dont remember. k. somehow we all stumbled back to brittanys house from the train station or a bus station... (we dont know...) its unclear... and we woke up and we have no idea.. k. bis spater.. we think we're taking easy tonight but we can never be sure... oh lord...
