... 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

... to our teacher to say 'thanks'. After lunch I have IKK and have to give a presentation about Australia in German. The idea is that I give everyone an idea of how Aus is so that they won't experience culture shock if they come to visit. I have to do it all on my own. The Argentinians have to do their's altogether.
Thursday night we have a break up dinner in Essen and after that I am going to Düsseldorf for the start of the Karneval festival. It's Weiberfastnacht ...

... tell who the prince was...
The dancing involved too much bended knee and sticking bums out, hardly a beautiful dance move and they couldn't even keep in time with each other, let alone create straight lines. The one thing I was looking forward to seeing was that one dance where they line the stage and dance as one. They wouldn't have had a chance in hell! So, needless to say I was a little disappointed with my first ballet. I think that I would have much preferred a ...

... from Berlin via Hamburg in 2 weeks, which I may consider doing if it is not too expensive... We'll see.

So, not much has happened since my last email. I went on an excursion to the old Synagogue in Essen. I have a photo of it from my first day in Essen. I called it the Dome Kirche! Whoops. I should have called it the Dome Synagogue! Oh well.

I have bought a couple of tickets for some culture in the coming weeks. I am seeing the ...

... everyone about what had happened to us last night, so Rafael wore a suit, Martin wore a suit jacket and we tried to dress up as best we could to make ourselves presentable. Ironically, there were hundreds of kids, families, school excursions and the like at the Opera, and only a few oldies.

They tried to 'modernise' it a bit, so that it was more like a dream than a reality. The Prince wasn't in a wood, he was in bed and ...

... there had white hair and looked at us disapprovingly. The only 'young people' were couples of aybe 30 or 40 who were obviously there on dates and some of those ladies wore exquisite ball gowns. Guess what I was wearing...sneakers, jeans and a jumper!! Ooops!

La Boheme was really good. It helped to have the storyline of Rent in my head as we went. Some parts were a little confusing. The sets were amazing, costumes very simple for the artists and ...

... the north coast along the sea quite fiercly, winds of up to 150km are blowing across the country. Planes cannot land, train stations have been closed, trees have falled on cars and houses...

Silence fell over the crowd... " Was soll wir tuen?" We were so bored...

It was decided that a party should be had in the cellar, to celebrate the fact that we were all safe. So we went downstairs, played South American music, danced, drank wine ...

Hi guys,
Don"t know if u have heard or not, but Germany is in the middle of a hurricane. 150km winds and severe warnings from the government to stay indoors. It was supposed to hit Essen really hard and we were all sent home from uni early and told to stay indoors. I really wanted to go online today to talk to u all like I said I would. Sorry guys!! I"ve just borrowed Tara"s laptop now. Mum, if u read this, send me a text message when u wake up so I can ...

... bags out. We couldn't shut the window, so we pushed it closed and started to load the bikes up, and then the sirens started. What were we to do, we half panicked, jumped on our bikes and rode of towards Koln. I do hope nothing happened to the house. We lunched by the side of the Rhine with the Koln cathedral in the background and after finishing, we headed of towards Koblenz via Bonn, the capital. When is a capital not a capital. When it is Bonn in Germany. We knew it ...
