Tabasco snaps?

As usually i’ve been kind of bad with the updates. So let’s take of from were we left it.

Last weekend Svenja and P had to go to the wedding and I went with them ( and their mum) to the ceremony in the church and then I went with their mum home afterwards while they went to the dinner and so.

When I got home I was just chilling and around 7 or 8pm I went downstairs to see what’s up. Then Astrid, Svennys mum, told me to put on shoes and we walked over to their neighbor and there they tried to tell me I should go with the neighbors’ daughter and her friends to party. I was like.. ehmm.. ok?!

But I thought, why not?!

So I went in and got ready. And I had misunderstood most of it (since her mum doesn’t speak pretty much Any English).

I though we were going for hardcore party!, we went to eat and then to a bar, and I was wearing a party dress and heals. I felt so stupid!!

Anyway it was nice of them to take me out. We were 10 girls I believe, and it was nice I guess just talking and later on having a drink.

The whole last week we were working the later shift at work, 2pm to 10pm. Most of the days we were sleeping until 11 or noon and then we had cooked dinner for breakfast :P

I liked it much better then the early shift since, first of all, I wasn’t tired at all and the people we were working witch were so much nicer and chilled. We were also aloud to listen to music (radio or mp3) while working. The days past by so much faster. Only negative was that you didn’t really have much else to do except for working and sleeping since we got home that late.

Friday after work we got home and then right away got ready to go out, I had taken a shower before work so I only redid my make up and changed my clothes. Half an hour later we were in the car down to “Roadhouse”, a newly opened bar downtown. It was crowded but we found a table and not much later we met friends of Svenja and also one girl from work. We had a great time and I learned to (finally) drink beer. Also it’s so cheap in Germany, one beer was 1 euro and the same price for a snaps! I think I had at least 10 snaps and 5-6 beers, I think I paid less than 20 Euros that night.

After the bar we went over to a nightclub (around 3-4am), there were like no people that night but we had fun and danced around until 5.30am! I got us in for free too so I had to make my “money” worth and dance, dance,dance!

At 6am we had spaghetti at Svenjas place! ;)

Saturday we slept until 2pm I think and later that afternoon we took a walk to get some fresh air. I must say I love the landscape around here!

last sunday at P's soccergame

friday, after the club, at like 6am, svenja n marvin

Later we got ready again to go over to some of Svenjas friends and from there to “Roadhouse”, same place as the day before. We met more people this night. First we were sitting with some guys (mainly boyfriends of Svenjas girlfriends). And then suddenly I hear, “Aquavit” and I’m like WTF.

One of the guys at the table had ordered in one aquavit snaps and I had to ask him why in the world he could to that, it’s so horrible, strong and taste like asshole!

It all ended with him ordering in one for me as well… and then another one. I told him both times I can’t drink it, but as you probably understand I still did. (urrk!).

To be “nice” back I ordered in a gin snaps for him, just to see a ugly face while drinking it… but I didn’t got one, he liked it. Damn!

Then I hear from someone; “You have to drink a rusty strew if you’re man enough to do it”, I’m like, hit me up.

Apparently it’s some snaps with Tabasco sauce. Just imagine for one sec. Before I had it they said, “ all the guys usually puke after having it, so you have to drink a glass of milk afterwards”. I did. And later there was one more in front of me, don’t know where it came from. I had the other one, but no milk. I had at least 2-3 beer after it as well, no problem. I Do feel like a man now, handling all that weird stuff!

Tabasco n milk w tim

svenja took a million pics :P

w the girls

this is torben sleepin at the sidewalk when we got out of the cab xD

After our shot games Svenja wanted to go home but I was way to drunk and happy to end the night. I ended up at the nightclub again with this guy and one friend of Svenja, we danced and drank until 6am I believe and then took a cab home.

On the way home I realized I didn’t had my driving license in my jacket pocket anymore so I got really pissed. It must have fallen out while I was getting money or something, and I can imagine that if someone found it, they’d keep it.

Other that the DL problem I had an awesome night again, and I was so worth it after all that work the whole week!

Today was the first day of the last week and we are back to working the early shift, so need to get up at 5am every morning.

I was so F-ing tired the whole day today and just wanted to go home, when I did, I took a shower and a nap. Later, around 8-ish, we went to see Svenjas girlfriends at some restaurant place and were just talking and so.

Tomorrow after work we are going to Paderborn, the city Svenjas going to study at, to look at an apartment for her. It’s almost an hour away so we have to leave right after work pretty much.

Wednesday we’re meeting some other friends of Svenja and Thursday I think she said there was something going on as well. The weekend we have no plans for yet but I think I need some more beer before I go back to Sweden.

Tuesday morning I will be home in Sweden again J

sound of music?

Catch you on the flip side!

The boxgirl

WIHOO, just finished one week of asshole work. Today I made a compartment to Svenja that we are like back in the days in Egypt. Like the slaves and Farao and so on. At work, we are the slaves! And then we have the faros who’s looking down at us from their office to see if we’re working hard enough. And Yes we do!

Shiesse, today I started by doing some stuff (100 of them). Putting some parts together, and then put some small plastic paper/plastic rings where the hole for the screws goes. I got so frustrated because I couldn’t fit the screw, and after 5 minutes the “orange” guy came and saw he had given me too small rings. Wow, Thanks, exactly what I needed 6 in the morning. After a 100 I was done and then went over to where Svenja were and helped her out to put her things together (same things I was doing like two days ago). Then we packed all of the things in boxes for the rest of the day. We packed about 400 small boxes and packed 10 of the small one in one big one.

When we got home dinner was ready and then we had planned to sleep but I wasn’t tired so now I’m sitting here and finally updating my blog. Though I had no pictures.

Yesterday night we went to get kebab, soo good. I don’t think I had it since before I went to America!

Tonight I think we’re going to a place were you’ll get a beer for 1 euro! That’s like less that you’ll buy one for in Sweden!

I think we’ll go there kind of early, like around 8-9pm.

And tomorrow Svenja and Patrick are going to this wedding so I’ll have to find some other thing to do.

Well now it’s napa-time!

Catch you on the flip side!

Bodywork volume 1

I’m getting used to not understand anything over here. The language is getting me a headache sometimes but I think I’m starting to learn some though. People over here are not very good at English either so it does feel very lonely sometimes.

This weekend we have been at the fair every day. We started Friday and first had a pree party here at Svenjas house. Some of her friends came over and we went over to the fair around 9pm. We had like a lot to drink and everything was so cheap!

Saturday we were both kind of hangover the whole day so not until 6-ish I took a shower and got ready (while all the girls already had came to pree party). This night came to be the craziest night the whole weekend, so the rest you can all figure out yourself.

Sunday we just went there to eat some and see what was up, so no drinking or anything. I felt like shit the whole day and had the worst hangover ever in my life I think. These Germans are crazy when it comes to drink and party!

Svenja w german friends

some other friends of Svenja

Monday we were suppose to work and start at 6 am, so we had to get up at 5am! I didn’t get any sleep at all that night so I was not feeling very good the whole day. When we got back from work all I wanted to do was to take a nap and die for a bit. Svenja the other hand was totally ready to go back to the fair for one last fight. She got ready and then went over, I was sleeping until 5pm and then got a ride by her dad over to join her. I wasn’t drinking but this German girl did her last try to party and had a good time. Around 10pm we took a cab home and had some fries before we went to bed.

Is she was hangover today at work? – No. –She was still drunk. Haha.

So I have to tell you guys what we are doing at work.

First of all I finally know what the company is called, “Dallmer” and do like things for the bathrooms. Like pipe-things and other weird stuff you never seen before.

So first day we were first just packing the weird things into boxes and taped them and then stapled them. We were at some different stations and then we were told to go upstairs and help at the storage place and had to unpack about 1200 boxes or so, and then look if the machine had put on two something stickers or one (something that was about the quality or something, we didn’t know). And when we looked in the box we then had to close it and re storage it again. So this is what we did for about 4 hours first day and then 6 hours next day.

I can’t say it’s fun, it’s easy but boring. So you get tired since you don’t have to use your brain but the bodywork is very intense.

Anyway so we also have 15 minutes break twice a day and work from 6am-2pm. Next week we will work from 2pm-10pm I think.

Gosh I’m so tried but I hope I updated a little of what we’re doing over here.

Well in the end today we had to put like 10 things together and then use a drilling machine and so witch made me feel like a …. Not a girl?!

So it’s a whole lot of bodywork!

When we get home from work Svenjas mum opens the door for us and then we sit down to eat lunch right away, lovely.

After our nap we had to go get some new shoes for Svenja since the once she had was killing her feet at work, afterwards we also got each a nice foot massage of her mum, I think I can stay here for a while!

Now I think we’ll watch a movie and then it’s time to sleep again.

Deutchlandish

So I found my way to Germnay. The day I left I had a lot of stuff to finish before I could take off. I also had time to have a quick breakfast with Jessica and talk about everything and nothing.

When I finally was on my way and had weight my big red bad (20,4 kg, and I was allowed 20) , I was on my way down the elevator when I realized I forgot to get my passport!

2 minutes later I was rolling my bag down Brogatan to get on the buss to the station and from there take the train to Kastrup (the airport in Copenhagen).

When I got there they didn’t even had announced the counter where I could check in to I had to sit down for a bit.

I think my mum for once would be proud of me being early instead of last minute as I usually am.

After checking in everything went smooth. I slept on the airplane and when I got to Köln I just grabbed my bag and walked out to Svenja and Patrick who were picking me up.

It took about an hour to get home and when we parked Svenjas mum, Astrid, ran out with a big sign saying welcome. I will put up a picture on it later because it’s really nice!

None of her parents speak English, only a few words, so I had to use Svenja and P to translate, but the whole day today I’ve been studying my German/English lexicon I got from my mum.

We had something to eat and just chilled, I unpacked and then we went pretty early to bed.

Today we got up around 9am and had breakfast. We went downtown to get a tax card so I can work and that went all smooth.

We were suppose to go to Paderborn to look at an apartment for Svenja but the girl who was going to show it to us never answered the calls neither called back.

Instead we chilled and later went to get some drinks for the weekend (there’s a big fair going on the whole weekend).

Svenja got us 6 bottles of like sparkling cider/champagne for 22sKr/ bottle (3 dollar). So cheap!

P got tons of beer and some more beers for his soccer team,

We had a light dinner and then I had a nap. Mmmmmm.

Later a friend to Svenja showed up and we were just talking and hung out.

Tomorrow we’re going to the factory I’m going to work in, starting Monday, just to see what I’ll be doing there and also to give them all my papers and stuff.

In the evening some friends of Svenja are coming over and then we’ll go to the fair later.

Time to say goodnight and I’ll try to put up some picture tomorrow or so.

Catch you on the flip side!

From Sweden to Germany

The time has come for Svenja to go back to Germnay. She's leavin tomorrow morning so I just put on 4 alarms on my phone to make sure she won't miss the flight....again!

The past week we have been doing some stuff and Monday when all my friends came back from Greece we went over to Pontus to hung out.

So enjoy the pics. from past week now.. next pics could be all the way from Germany!
