Can't Say Strawberry

So I’ve been neglecting the German part of this blog for a while now, so I’ve decided a Wednesday update would be a good idea. German Wednesdays! Kind of like orange Wednesdays but without the cinema, but plus German adventures! I’ll just write anything interesting that’s happened to me during the week, and/or any fun things I’ve learnt about Germany.

Well, there aren’t a great deal of Deutsche Abenteuer to report at the moment, except for these past two weeks being ridiculously tiring and draining. Between my getting overexcited about the prospects of certain projects, stressing about not having finished others and trying to get everything I want done in a day… yeah I’ve been pretty drained! In fact, today I slept for four hours after coming home from school… In all seriousness though, I do need to start making sure I sleep, because I’m making myself really ill at this rate. Most of last weekend I felt really rubbish!

Luckily, I was well enough on Saturday to witness the majesty, the magnificence, the monstrosity that is :

ANTON’S BIERKÖNIG, DÜSSELDORF

We ended up there completely by accident, due to a bouncer refusing us entry to another club in the Düss (catchy name, oder?) ‘wegen ihre Garderobe’ (because of your clothes). It was such a delightful site to see Fraser give him the most stinking look ever, turn around and say ‘right then guys, ALL EIGHT OF US have to go because we have rubbish clothes!’

One of the lads called it a ‘tacky German club’ but it was pretty epic, probably due to the fact that you could get beer in one of three sizes :

I forget what each one was called… Any Germans out there care to help? I know that Maβ and Stein are two of the words, but I don’t remember which ones they refer to!
