At Friday I left at 13.30 my house to the trainstation. When I got out of the tram, I went to the bankautomate for some money, and at the same time Kati got out of another tram to do the same. Already two persons were waiting there, and 10 minutes later all were present and accounted for. I bought the tickets, and also some drinks for underway.
Then the travel started at 14.37.....
In 5 hours we should have been in Osnabrück.... but the NS wouldn't have been the NS if we wouldn't have delay... with 40 minutes delay we came in Enschede, there we had to take the train to Münster, but we took the wrong train, so we had to change the train in Coesfeld, a well-know big town :)), and we almost left Patrick and Job behind, they didn't watched out where we were going. When we finally got to Münster, we had to change again the train. With a 1,5 hours delay we arrived at 20.52 in Osnabrück. It was a nice travel, for sure for Chris, because he thought Osnabrück was just 2 hours away.
When we arrived on the train station there were like 10 people waiting for us with a nice Osnabrück flag. We went first to the office, to put our stuff away. They got a key to enter the University, which is cool. Then we went to the Weihnachtsmarket. We ate there bratwürst :) And other real German food and drinks like Gluhwein :))
At 22.45 we went to get our stuff and to go to our hosts... Chris and me hooked up together and we picked really the best spot. Right in the middle of the center was our place, just 50 meters from the meeting points :) Also when we arrived there, we drunk some nice alcohol, like Vodka, Redberry Likör, wine, and beer. With nice reggae music on the background. Also from whom wanted there was more then just Alcohol.... ;)
At midnight we left to the party place, we came there at 0.20; It was an interesting Disco. first R&B, Soul music and later House music :) We left between 2 and three. Then the fun started. Since some missed the taxi, Maria came to our place. So, besides the hosts Clement (from France), Bastian (real Osnabrück guy), there slept: Nihan from AEGEE-Çanakkale, Chris from AEGEE-Rotterdam/Thessaloníki, Maria (born in Russia) and me :))
Chris, Maria and me slept in one room, it was cool. Chris was drunk, so Maria and me, made a lot of fun out of him. We started sleeping after 6 :))
At 10.00 my alarm was ringing, and I was the first one to get out, and take a shower, then Maria, and off course as last our Greek guy :)
We met at 12 at the mensa. We had there a nice hot lunch, it was cool that the University Kantine was still open and working. Then we went to the center. First waiting on our city guide, whom was living there for three months and she is from Slovenia. She came late but she had a good reason. She lost her wallet last night and inside was her ID, which she needs in one week to leave for home to celebrate Christmas together with her Family. So I arranged to do first shopping and other things in the center and to be back at 15.00, and then have the city tour. I went with Chris, Job, Lars and Ann-Marie to visit some Churches and the Räthause. It was a nice cool walk.
Then we had our good well prepared city tour. She had written all kind of facts of houses, churches, etc. It was splendid. And long :))) More then three hours. The end was a bit strange, just half the group decides without consultation to climb the Dom tower. So, some of us, like me, were standing outside in the cold waiting for some. That was not social at all. Then we had to move on to the last place of the city tour, but some went slow and Patrick really had to find a place to do his needs... So he went to the near Mac, which was just 3 minutes further. Then we split up for dinner, Chris and me wanted a Hot meal, which was fast to buy, and the others wanted to cook on their own. But Patrick was still at the Mac, and his friends were first not willing to move 3 minutes to pick him up. I was so upset that I just left. And because somebody forced the others, they all left to pick him up.
Clement, Chris and me first bought some wine for the European Night, and then went to Iskendar kebab shop, to buy Döner. His house was like 50 meters away from that place, so we ate at Clements house. Nihan came after dinner with her friend from Sevilla when Chris was sleeping and I was relaxing by listening to music. Later even a friend from Çanakkale. Before going to the party we drunk a bottle with just the five of us of Yeni Raki :) That was cool :))
We went by bus to the party place.
At the student house they had their own football table, so as at home we started to play. When all were there we started with the European Night, we drunk Boswandeling and Graanjenever. Even before the karaoke started we suddenly left. Most of them wanted to go to Ann-Maria's place, but Chris and me went with Clement and Nihan to a great Disco. It was so cool. When Nihan was so drunk that she was sitting with her head between her legs, I went with her outside so she could... ;) Then me and Chris left with Nihan home, and Clement stayed and gave us the key. Just before our house we met Maria, whom want to join again the crazy people and not the silent ones :))
Chris and me, put Nihan in bed, and Chris played some guitar, and we talked. At three Chris went to bed, and Maria and me talked further till after 4 :) At 5.10 Clement came home, so I had to open the door. I wrote two sms at 4 to Kati and Patrick to set the leaving time at 11, and not at 10 as Kati wanted and Chris and me at 12.
So, i woke up early 9.30 and again as first outside, etc. At 10.09 I got an sms from Patrick that they were already at the trainstation. They left without us. That made me change. Because I was already not happy when I looked at the map, that we would go to Cologne. So, since Chris have been there 8 times before, we went instead to Münster to drink a coffee. Before we went with Maria to have a nice lunch in Bar Celona.
At 13.18 we left to Münster, we stayed there for one hour, drunk our Capuchino and saw the city center. Then we left to Rotterdam. And of course there was an accident so we couldn't go from Gouda directly to Rotterdam, we had to go by Leiden, so 35 minutes delay... I came home at 20.45 to eat my dinner.
