My favourite German is also known as 'Mr S'....This story needs some explaining, using Skype history

LAST WEEK: Phone
Miss Kimbers: So, are you going to the party in Mainz....and visiting me...?
Mr S: No, I have to work...and so it' not worth going to the party, then to Mannheim on Saturday and then leaving on Sunday.
Miss Kimbers: That's true *is sad because she was looking forward to having a visitor*

FRIDAY NIGHT: Skype
[2/27/2009 11:05:21 PM] Mr S says: whats your plan for tomorrow?
[2/27/2009 11:06:04 PM] Miss Kimbers says: Jacqueline and I are going to Kaiserslatern because it is free...and we don't know what is there...*insert mysterious music* And what's your plan?
[2/27/2009 11:09:40 PM] Mr S says: I'm not sure.. probably I'm visiting a girl - but it's not sure yet...
[2/27/2009 11:11:48 PM] Miss Kimbers says: Ah cool. Does she live in Duesseldorf?
[2/27/2009 11:12:07 PM] Mr S says: nope.. some km away.
[2/27/2009 11:12:29 PM] Mr S says: I'm not sure if I can manage to visit her.... and she said she might go somewhere else... this might be a problem...
*Miss Kimbers thinks: hmmm I'm a girl who doesn't live in Dueseldorf...and I am going to Kaiserslautern tomorrow....but Mr S said that it was too hard and not worth travelling so far*
[2/27/2009 11:13:52 PM] Miss Kimbers says: Then it could be a problem, yes
[2/27/2009 11:15:20 PM] Mr S says: yep... it could... but if she tells me when she'll be back tomorrow... maybe I'll visit her later. so when are you going tomorrow to kaiserslautern?


SATURDAY MORNING: Skype
*after some conversation...*
[2/28/2009 9:52:18 AM] Mr S says: so how long do you plan to stay in kaiserslautern?
[2/28/2009 9:55:20 AM] Miss Kimbers says: Probably a few hours...we have no idea what we'll do there...later im going to a party. And are you still visiting your friend?
[2/28/2009 10:04:00 AM] Mr S says: yep... i guess so. but she lives so far outside... so it's hard to get a good conection.
[2/28/2009 10:05:29 AM] Miss Kimbers says: Where does she live?
[2/28/2009 10:07:18 AM] Mr S says: near from solingen. I'm still finding the best way to visit the girl. and when do you have to go?
*Miss Kimbers thinks: How hard can it be to go to somewhere near Solingen...? And Mr S isn't visiting me, becuase I don't live near Solingen :frown:*
[2/28/2009 10:48:49 AM] Miss Kimbers says: in 50 minutes or so
[2/28/2009 10:51:01 AM] Mr S says: are you going to the party tonight?
[2/28/2009 10:52:34 AM] Miss Kimbers says: I think I am going
*Miss Kimbers thinks: Why is Mr S so interested in what I am doing...Where I am going, how long it takes, when I will be back, what I will be doing after...?*

*Miss Kimbers is on the train from Kaiserslautern back to Mannheim and receives a message from Mr S*

When will you be back in Mannheim? I have to talk to you



*Miss Kimbers thinks that is a weird message...she has a phone...so it can't be THAT urgent....Miss Kimbers replies*

In about 40 minutes, I'll be at the main station...do you need to ring me at home? Then I can go straight there



*Miss Kimbers receives no reply....and thinks that is weird...*

*The train stops in Mannheim and Miss Kimbers thinks she sees a guy who looks like Mr S out the train window, waiting on the platform, right outside her carriage!...Why would Mr S be there though...he said it wasn't worth travelling all that way for such a short time...and was going to visit a girl in some weird village near Solingen. She thinks: Nope, it isn't Mr S*

*Miss Kimbers walks out of the train....
....and gets a hug....
....from....
....MR S!!!*

HOW SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
:love:
*smile*


Miss Kimbers received a pretty rose at the station *smile*....and a packet of icing sugar too!


Miss Kimbers' favourite German cooked brussel sprouts for dinner

Miss Kimbers was happy to show Mr S his two photos hanging in her room :smile: Mr S takes nice photos!

Then the two walked to a WG (Wohngemeinschaft (SPELLING?) err English= Shared house) party of some German people.


On the way to the party, they crossed the Neckar River.


A boat on the Neckar


The people in the WG (English=shared house) like to read magazines in the bathroom!

Miss Kimbers finds it pretty difficult to talk to Germans in social situations where there are many people. However, she is quite proud of her effort at the party. She spoke with quite a few people and mostly in German :smile:

Mr S and Miss Kimbers left the party at 00:30 or something and walked back over the bridge...then they found themselves in the kitchen making KALTER HUND, the yummiest cake in the world! This is why Mr S gave Miss Kimbers a box of icing sugar; he bought all the ingredients for the cake with him!


On Sunday morning, Mr S and Miss Kimbers drank coffee and ate Kalter Hund

Then, they ate some bread with VERY limited toppings (Miss Kimbers doesn't have much food, because she doesn't eat much)...and then some more cake...and then they went for a walk on the river....and then they came back to the flat and ate MORE CAKE :D


Mr S eating some Kalter Hund

As usual, the clocked ticked too fast :frown: and it was time for Mr S to get his Mitfahrgelegenheit. On the way to the station, they ate mushroom and tomato pizza.

Miss Kimbers had such a nice time with Mr S and thinks she is lucky to know such a wonderful person *smile*

Thursday 05/03/2009: Miss Kimbers will travel to Munich for the weekend and wants to visit a concentration camp

Karneval

Tuesday, 24. February 2009, 20:10:53

, , , ...

Karneval is some sort of 'festival'(?)/party(?) where people dress up in costumes and drink a lot. One explanation is that the season of 'Lent' will arrive soon and during this time, you should give partying and hard core drinking up. So, just drink lots and party lots before Lent.

It's a COSTUME PARTY
My favourite type of party!

Everyone is pretty friendly during Karneval. Well, they are drunk... I was talking to two women in Koeln and they said 'Oh we are going to Duesseldorf as well, and we have a group ticket, so you can trvael with us for free'. That was cool :smile: On the train I spoke to one guy dressed as a Scottish person. He said he was going to be a kangaroo on the weekend. 'Does your suit have a pouch?' 'Yes' 'You bought the girls costume!!'

I arrived in Duesseldorf and there were lots of people in costume there too. However, no one was wearing the 'Aussie' costume of 'Watermelon on head'. BUT, every second person was a KANGAROO!



Here are some photos:





"Mummy....these alcoholics are scaring me..."




Best costume! Why? At costume partys, you're supposed to look kind of dodgy :smile:


This guy was hilarious!


A quiet and peaceful sleep in the hotel (well, I think it is a hotel)


Karneval people are dangerous people...put wood everywhere!!


You can even see Karneval people from your kitchen window


Some people were actually sitting on the ground...comfortable...



It was fun walking around the streets, seeing everyone in their costume. EXCEPT, for the fat girls (who for some reason can't see that they are fat), dressing up as Little Red Riding Hood, or a Bunny, because it somehow 'looks good' to them....Why do they even make these costumes in sizes so big!? I'll never understand.

Kids, don't let the photos fool you. Alcohol is NOT cool. Here is a fairy tale for you:

Once upon a time, there was a sweet girl who needed some money. She found a job in a bar and worked forever and forever. Every Saturday night, people would: yell at her, be rude to her, be mean to her, yell at her in the street, fight with her, follow her down the street, throw ice at her, push her, make her want to cry....And sometimes, they would even spit in her eye! And, she thinks that her drink once got spiked...why else would she feel dizzy and have the feeling that ants were crawling all over her skin, and have to go home?! Now this sweet girl is scarred for life and may require counselling.





More photos will shortly be in a photo album. I have never taken so many photos before!! My favourite German took 500 or something! And they are not dodgy like my photos :smile:

Australia Day Party

Monday, 26. January 2009, 20:04:19

, , , ...

Last night, an Aussie girl attended her fist Australian Day Beach Party! It was on the side of the good ol' Rhein, really cold, a bit muddy....It was her first BEACH party....ever.

The party was hosted by Luke, an enthusiastic Australian, who decorated the beach with candles inside of paper bags. Luke also organised a fire: burning wood and furniture on the side of the road, from a kitchen renovation. One guy from Victoria even baked some ANZAC biscuits :wink: There was Frisbee and beach cricket too.

Oooo a fire in the dark. It gives you light and heat and the feeling that everything is ok


Can't go to a BBQ without your airport luggage

Want fire? Carry wood

Less than 1 Day!!!!

*excited*

Yep, all the hard work I have done as a bartender has paid off! Speaking of hard work, my dad visted me at work on Saturday night :smile: He said I work really hard and didn't know it was so busy! Now he feels sorry for me :frown:

On Saturday night, my sister had a bit of a birthday party...Here are some pictures...


The esky on wheels returns!


In Australia, it's not a party unless you have a flood light


The lamp has been demoted since we got our new light fitting...


According to Mr P, this sauce looks like a lobster....or a moose...


If you can't find a stand for your speakers, don't buy one; Use your cat's scratching post


2L of tomato sauce.


People at the party who want to protect their identities


I got a laptop/netbook. It's so little :smile: It was kind of expensive compared to the others in the shop, but it has the biggest keyboard and it is the best looking. There were some for $500 but they looked soooo cheap; not even worth stealing!



I think I'm all packed...but I'm sure I've forgotten something. Such as, making a photocopy of my passport...I guess I can take a photo of it. I was going to take TimTams for people, but I have no room...so no TimTams for people...but, that's good because it will stop them from getting fat :smile: I'm always thinking of the wellbeing of others P:

That's it for now...I'm going to go to my dad's garden club's Christmas party tonight. Old women bake such tasty cakes :wink: The next time you hear form me will probably be in Germany :smile: Bye!

Has my blog ever made you laugh?
Did you ever receive a prize from me, for winning a Christmas decoration competition? :wink:

Lately...

Monday, 3. November 2008, 11:48:05

, , , ...

Some things that have happened lately:


  • I got sick at work on Saturday night. I wasn't feeling well so I drank a lot of water. I still didn't feel well. Then everything started getting darker...and I got dizzy...my skin felt like it had ants crawling over it... Sat down for a while and still felt horrible, so I went home. I feel better now though :smile:

  • On Friday, I was at a masked ball (although I didn't wear a mask). I learnt that it's really hard to walk in high shoes if you have tights on, because they make the shoes slippery.

  • This Friday, there is a BIG party at a mansion in Adelaide (100+ people). The theme is 'dress as something beginning with F'. I was going to go as a fax machine...but I changed my mind and will now be a fairy.

  • I'm still doing exercise WOAH!! :D I can now run without getting puffed out after 1 minute :up:

  • I have been accepted to a German university as an exchange student *jump jump*

  • In 1 month, I'll be in Germany :D

  • I have exams in 2 weeks...I've started learning but it's going to be hard because all my subjects are FINAL YEAR subjects and I'm not in my final year :frown:



That's all for today. Take care of yourselves and make sure to read 'use by' labels :smile:

Fire-for when you don't have cable broadband

Saturday, 27. September 2008, 01:06:59

, , , ...

I am lucky enough to have cable broadband at home :smile: If you live in some parts of Australia you can't get cable broadband. You can get broadband but it's not very fast.

What do you do during the evening/night when you live in the country with slow internet? Scrabble? Nope, cases fights. Monopoly? Nope, causes divorces and domestic violence. FIRE? Yes! In the country, people have bonfires. You light lots of dead trees on fire and everyone stands around the fire and watches it. I didn't get to go to one last night but my dad did.


Some guy goes back home, not because he forgot his glasses/camera, but because he forgot his tractor...and then uses it to push the wood around.

I have to work 11 hours tonight :left:

Does anyone know what day it is in Australia today? It's... BOGAN DAY!

Why? Today is AFL (Australian Football League) Grand Final Day. AFL is a 'bogan' sport where 2 teams of weird looking guys in shorts that are too short run around an oval and chase and kick a weird shaped ball. Today bogans across Australia will be having BBQs, watching the game on their plasma TVs (which they bought with pension money from the government) and drinking beer (which they paid for using their baby bonus money (when you have a baby, the government gives you money so you can buy clothes for it etc. However, some really smart bogans just have children so they can get the money))
