Ringhotel Drees Dortmund

Vous ne revez pas, les villes sont de plus en plus grosses et de plus en plus pourries... J'exagere un peu mais bon. Un ouvrier polonais nous a amene sans arriere pensee de Aachen aux environs de Dortmund puis train jusqu'a la ville et la on passe une sympathique petite soiree dans un festival de rue avec bieres sans aucune bulle mais de l'animation surtout grace a un sosie de ...

... to Karneval in Düsseldorf in my costume. We had fun. It was crazy! There were so many people there!!!! And broken beer bottles all over the ground! It was my last night with Trevor. I have some great pics but prob wont be able to add them to my blog til I come home.

So, I might go and visit a castle. If I have the chance I will add one more entry. If not, see u all soon

Wish me a wonderful time and I wish u also a fantastic weekend.
See u next week!!!!!

... next Thursday and hopefully the Phantom of the Opera on Friday, plus on Valentines day I am going to see Don Giovanni. It should be good. And it's so incredibly cheap here. I have never known an opera to be only $15 for students in Australia. (Mind you, I have never been to the Opera in Australia...)

So I will leave u to think of me in a winter wonderland (I am not sick, so this is an accurate description).

Speak with u soon,
Sarah

Hello!

Sorry that it has taken so long to tell u about my weekend. Usually I would only write one email... but I am always running off to class or to have lunch.
So I left u Saturday night and I got home at midnight. The most wonderful thing about the whole weekend was the fact that I didn't have an excursion Sunday and was able to sleep for over 12 hours!!

When I finally decided to get up I read a bit of my German teen novel ...

... and see saws and Jair took photos with his camera. When I get a copy of them I will post them.

In Düsseldorf there was an Opera shop so we went in there to buy our tickets for La Boheme. There were only 3 left. 3 of us wanted to go. It was perfect. And so cheap! They really look after students here and give them fantastic discounts!

After that I tried my first ever taste of Häagen Daas Icecream which is supposed to be the best in the ...

Hello,
I made it. I survived the hurricane thankfully! The aftermath made my weekend a bit chaotic as all of the trains were cancelled because of trees falling on the tracks and warping the tracks too. That meant that my plans didn't go exactly as planned..... Let me take u back to Thursday night...

The wind was howling, and whistling eerily outside while the trees were swaying frantically in the breeze. 40 students sat in their rooms ...

... sure that I go to my room and then give me a call at the hotel. I have to be there because I am not allowed to go out anywhere. Thanks so much for ur message! It makes me miss u even more!
Don"t worry about my safety. Luckily the hurricane changed direction and will hit the eastern states worse than here.
So I"ll go now. Still cooking dinner and it's 10pm. I will try and leave another blog entry tomorrow if I can to let u know what I get up to.

... washing and went in the gym for an hour or so. I think that I had the weight a little too high for my leg extensions because now my quads are KILLING ME. Stairs have not been my best friend today, and annoyingly I took the wrong elevator today, which meant that I had to walk up two flights of stairs. Damn!
Umm what else did I do?? Not so much. I chatted with Christian, he's a German guy who lives in the hotel and often lends ...

... drinks, much to my pleasure, but I didn't get drunk, as I never do... U all know that I am far too sensible (Mum and Aunty Lorraine smile approvingly). The Argentinians spoke with the DJ and got him to play some Latino music, but most was dance. I got a free Southern Comfort lighter, not that I will ever use it to light up a cigarrette ( I don't even know how to spell it!) I walked Trevor home because he had been drinking straight Jack Daniels shots and went to bed at 2.30 which was ...
