Guess what came in the post today!! MY GERMAN SEWING MACHIIINE! It says ‘Lady Victoria’ on it, so that means her name should be Viktoria… with a K because she’s German. Now be nice, she’s a lady. I’m so happy I bought one, and it was a bargain too. 40 euros plus the postage [...]

Things I miss… Monster Munch Pickled Onion
September 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
I think Things I Miss is probably going to centre mostly on food… I eat far too much Pickled Onion Monster Munch, so maybe it’s not such a bad thing that they’re not around for me to eat copious amounts of nowadays. BUT THEY TASTE SO GOOOOOOOOD. I’m the type of person who will go [...]

Clubs in Dortmund are sweaty
September 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Well, Suite023 was. It was ridiculously tiny and packed to the brim! My first German club experience, awwwh. Naturally it was with members of TEAM FABELHAFT (the group of friends made at Altenberg… the fabelhaft thing is a loooong story) and it was aceee. They played tunes from the 90s all night – as a [...]

Things I miss… oof, it could be worse
September 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
In a follow up to the previous post, I’ve decided that it could be far worse on the cheese front. Getting ready for work this morning, I had a chat with my friend in America who’s attending University there for her year abroad. Spoke about missing beans and cider, to which she answered that she [...]

Things I miss… Baked Beans
September 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
Words cannot describe how much I miss these suckers. Classic student food, the musical fruit, even the Tesco value ones are nom. But in Germany? You can’t really get them. Well that’s not technically true – you can get them in some places few and far between, but at about 2 Euros a tin, it’s [...]

BOB GELDOF!!
September 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
We saw Bob Geldof in Dortmund! BOB ‘GIVE US YOUR FOOKING MONEY’ GELDOF! He was playing in Dortmund city centre as part of an anti-Nazi concert thing – apparently Dortmund has a problem with Nazi demonstrators, something which the population of Dortmund clearly (and understandably!!) has a problem with. I’m not entirely sure why [...]
Schule ist ausgezeichnet! With an extra dose of a Fire Alarm
September 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
So I’ve been to my school a total of six times, three of which were spent observing some of the lessons. So far I’ve observed Klasse 5, Klasse 9 and Klasse 11, in lessons like Biology, German, English and Maths (which went right over my head!) My school is really nice, but it seems HUGE. [...]

Altenberg = Nothing to worry about
September 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Germany
It’s been a week?! Over a week actually, since I flew to Germany with one kg too many… Right now I’m meant to be going to the Buergersamt to register, but I’ve just made plans to go a bit later! The induction course at Altenberg was ridiculous amounts of fun, despite early mornings, loads of [...]
