Soo, fuer den lieben Martin hier mal was auf Deutsch ;)

Das letzte Album (Piedra del peñol) konnte ich einfach nicht deutsch benennen, wie dumm hoert sich denn auch bitte "grosser Felsen" an ???

Also, nachdem ich am Freistag meine Haare habe ruinieren lassen (neue Frisur) sind wir abends noch rausgegangen und ich habe meinen ganzen Haarkummer in Rum mit Cola bzw. Rum mit Ginger ale ertraenkt. Sehr wirksam, mir ging es gleich besser :) Okay, vielleicht hat das Kuchenbacken und TV gucken meine Laune auch vorher schon etwas gehoben :D

Rausgehen war jedenfalls mega lustig und Popcorn sehr lecker. Samstag gings dann shoppen (hab ein paar neue todchicke Schuhe gefunden) und am Sonntag sind wir im neuen Auto zum Piedra del peñol, einem 200m hohen Felsen gefahren. Bevor wir aber die 629 Treppen hoch sind ( Treppen steigen soll ja sehr gut zum Kalorien reduzieren sein), haben wir uns vorher noch ein Oertchen in der Naehe angeschaut und ausgiebig zu Mittag gegessen (Fisch - Gemuese - Suppe von Jaimes Vater war sehr zu empfehlen :D)

Joa und dann ging es chliesslich die Treppen hoch... man hab ich geschwitzt... die Luft dort oben ist ja auch viel duenner als bei uns in good old Germany. Man konnte mir schon ansehen, dass ich kaputt war, aber es hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt! Die Aussicht war atemberaubend! Obwohl ich im nachhinein sagen muss: auf den Fotos sieht es noch viel geiler aus! :)

Da will man gleich nochmal hin ^^ Aber wir hatten auch wiedermal verdammt Glueck mit dem Wetter. Kaum dass wir uns auf den Heimweg gemacht haben, gabs ein Gewitter. Glueck muss man haben :)

So Martin, jetzt musste mir aber auch einen Kommentar schreiben ;)

Hab euch lieb

Hola muchachos =) Hey guys!

I thought, I am going to tell you, what I have been up to the las months after I had discovered, how expensive vacinations are in Germany for people of age... ;)
Well, I am in Colombia by now and the vaccinations are worth their money, as i haven´t suffered from yellow fever, hepatitis A/B or something else, yet. :D 
Instead I experienced some other Colombian sicknesses and I realized that German medezin works better for me, than Columbian. I think together with the really high air polution by cars and buses (which sometimes even have two exits for their fumes) that are the only negative things to mention.

Colombia is a really beautiful country and people here in Antoquia are extremly friendly!

Maybe it´s due to the weather: we constantely have 26 degrees centigrade with much sun. Hey imagine that: I became a little brown - not looking like cheese anymore ;) It´s a pity I have to return in the middle of winter to Germny - will be a big shock! When I start thinking about it, I already miss the sun, the heat, our swimming pool and all the little shops here in Medellin where u can buy earrings and bags and... so wonderfully well... *dream*

Everytime I notice one shop, which happens every second street, we have to cross the street to have a look at the offerings (Jaime is already a little annoyed O;)) eventhough I might have watched them 3 times before.... ^^

They are sooo cute, I can´t get enough of this stuff and they are quite cheap, which means it happens randomly that I get home with just another pair of earrings :)

What I also enjoy a lot are the parks! There is this lovely park with an artificial waterfall and an ice-cream shop just next door... You can watch the water falling and the little kids playing while enjoying your bananasplit :) Became a big fan of Colombian bananasplit - the only real ;)

But as it says on one of the posters of Colegio Londres (my "workingplace") a picture says more than a hundred words - I've uploaded some for u. Much fun whith watching and never mind to leave me a message!

Miss u all a lot and hope to see u soon *hugs and kisses*

Well, I've been here for only two days now, but i already feel at home. It is a wonderful place here with a beautiful beach, very funny people and very strange dogs! Honestly, the dogs are weird. Amelias cousin has a dog named Cloe who is a golden retriever. Melia an I went for a walk with her today, because she was so bored. everything went very well, we took loads of pictures which you can have a look at in the photogallerie. But then the dog went crazy. We were climbing the ciffs and taking photos of the ocean. When we came up again, Cloe suddenly walked straight to the point where it went down. She ignored us completly until Amelia got her tail and pulled her back. It was really scary! This stupid dog was going to kill herself. She scared us to hell. After that our walk was spoiled somehow. Silly, silly dog! And now there are even two. Cousin Babara's daughter came for a visit and took her dog with her. Two big silly dogs. One is suicidal and the other one runs you over everytime, he sees you! I start to wonder if Britains love big dogs and if all big dogs in Britain are stupid... Haven't seen one tiny dog since arriving here only big ones.

Another thing that is very funny here are the roads: They are not very wide and two cars don't fit in well. Sometimes they do not at all. Therefore it is stop and go. every corner there are cars which have to wait to let others pass. It's a funny thing to just walk by and overtake them =) Even if they're little dangerous i like these roads a lot. They still look so natural with the hedges going along.

And then, the local people have no problems with them. It is amazing, how well they knowthe size of their car and where it fits through and where not. Different to the tourists who are very afraid of the roads and cause many traffic jams ... *lol*

Only way to get through: trying, trying and trying again and...

...not to bother bruises the car gets. ;) 

Well, it is too late to write the whole story here right now - especially after i had to spend about 2 days on the airport only broken by one flight to London which was delayed 6 hours and due to which I missed my second flight to Cornwall. I don't wanna write it now, as i need at least 15 minutes to complain about the rotten easy jet airline and another 15 minutes for ryan air which is a little better and...

well, i do tomorrow, as i have enough time then ;)

Wish all of you who are still online "good night, oyasumi and eine gute Nacht" whole report will follow soon, baibai

PS.: that went shorter than i thought ^^ *chu*

 

Heyho, it's me again ^^

And i finally got some sleep! I have to write an e-mail soon to claim my recompensation for all the crap easy jet has caused. I was 6 hours delayed and when i finally arrived in london stanstead, they did neither pay me a hotel i could stay in over the night nor did they pay my new ticket for ryan air which i had to buy due to their delay...

I only recommend everybody who plans to go by easy jet somewhere - leave it! don't do it. It is not worth the stress you'll get!!!

The only good thing which came out ofit are two new aquaintances and some very nice sms from my friends - they were really cute .

I'll go to have a shower now and pay a visit to Amelia then. She has t work in the pub which is about 5 minutes away by foot. Cornwall is wonderful so far! I already bought some new flip flops which are very loveley and i had some fish and chips. hajimete tabeta yo. oishikatta ^^

Hope to hear from all of you *hugglets*

 

 

Well I am back from Berlin, but I wish I could go straight again. It were 4 wonderfully pleasant days in Berlin, We had soo much fun, even when the weather wasn't that good. But who cares about  rain when you are together with six good friends? Shin, Shu, Yutaka, Yukako, Ayu and Hiro - all of them have changed during their exchange here in Germany. Ayu got long hair and looks now more than a girl than in summer, Yutakas hair got longer as well. It's like the hair of a lion and Shin coloured his hair even a bit more. But not only their outward appearance, but also their character. They got a German touch ;) Which means we went along even better.

In the evening of the 12th April I arrived in Berlin after a 8 hour long busdrive. Another 45 minutes with the S-bahn and I was with Julia who fetched me from the station Jannovitzbrücke. While walking to her appartment we talked about our little Japanesegroup who I was going to see very soon. I was so excited. Nihon no tomodachi no aukoto wo meccha tanoshimi datta. Kimochi ha yabai dokidoki datta.

We left my two bags in Julia's appartment and went to Jeannete where Yukako, Hiro, Ayu and Co. where already preparing dinner. Even though we arrived about 20.00 it lasted another hour till we were ready to eat. While Yukako and Hiro where cooking, I was enjoying myself with watching Shin's pictures and videos which were on his laptop that he took to Germany.

He goes to a very cool German school. I'd like to attend this school as well. The students seem to be much more fun to be around and much more outgoing than here in Oldenburg.

Well, for dinner we had a proper Japanese meal with Okonomiyaki, Sobanoodles, Curry and as Shu brought it around a lot of alcohol. It became a very funny evening and if the last bus had been later than 12 we could have spend even more time together. But Julia, Yutaka, Ayu and I had to leave about twelve to get it.

 

The next day we went to a planetarium to have a look at stars.But the show we finally saw, was one for elementary school students about the sun and seasons. It was fun though. A seven years old girl couldn't believe me sitting in between two Japanese guys. That appeared to be even more interesting to her than the show  

However she was embaressed when I looked back at her. ^^°. Hazukashikamoshirenai.  The songs which were played between the explanations were top as well. It was long ago I listened to that kind of children music ^_- Meccha natsukashikatta.

After that we went on with Hiro's favourite business: Shopping! ;)

First we spent three hours in the KaDeWe, the biggest and I suppose most expensive shopping mall in Berlin. After that one hour on the Kuhdamm a shopping street with many souvenir shops and then we went by underground to the Potzdamer place where we ate the most delicious and supposely the most expensive ice cream of Berlin. I really recommend it to you. If you get to Berlin, go to the Potsdamer place and buy this ice cream. The shop has a big variety/ choice and even if it's exempsive it's worth the price. at least for once.

Well after finishing our shopping there - what means concreatly a whole day with shopping - we went home. Or better speaking first to Jeannete and then to Julia. Ayu and I were exhausted and didn't talk much but I enjoyed it a lot to listen to the Japanese chatter. Benkyoushitayo.

Well, by looking back I would say that day was one of the best in Berlin together with the last one of course.

Friday we stayed home and watched a DVD as we were all still tired. Later Julia, Yutaka and I left and met with Jeanette and the rest of the Japanese. We went to the iron curtain, took some lovely pictures (one of it now being displayed on my desktop hehehe) and in the evening we went for Karaoke.

The Karaoke bar was run by Korean people and I noticed once more that Asian people are very good businessmen and women of course.

The entrance fee was three euro and every drink costed 3 euro or more as well. But to get more money from the customers the owners put salty sticks on every table at least two glasses of it.

Of course you eat the sticks when they are standing in front of you, you get thristy and spend your whole money on drinks which are much too expensive. No German person gets this idea because they are too onesighted and they miss the good business. The Korean took 15 Euro from one of my friends only for drinks. Good income for only a few hours!

Well, I think that's it for the first. Have to think about something for now. Will tell you later about. Maybe ;)

 Lots of Luv
