ARME ABER SEXY

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THURSDAY LAST WEEK: after missing a 5 euro Ryan Air's flight and having to take a rather more expensive ICE train ... which subsequently broke down .......... TWICE!... I eventually arrived (4 hrs late) in BERLIN ...where I had come to stay with Allen and Philipp for 5 days. I'd only made it to the big city once before then, for a week long Mid-Year-Exchange-Senimar, so I was still really excited about getting to see the city again... (and this time without a 12pm curfew!) and hanging out with them both, who I hadn't seen since we all went to Italy together in the summer. It felt strange to me, just how different he city felt to me this time around under such different and farrr more relaxed circamstances.... I love it there. It's true what they say.... Berlin may be poor... but it's sexy as!

THE DRINKING GAME OF RISK.
So we've just gotten back from Spandau Train Station, It's late, Phil's parents have gone to sleep and It's a school night... We have alcohol... and we're in a German household... so you KNOW the game of world domination is around somewhere. Trink'-Risiko wurde geboren.
The Rules.... Every time you hold onto a Continent for one round, you have to take a shot.
It wasn't long before I conquered North and South America, drinking double the amount of shots as the others during a long 3 hour game period probably let to my downfall... either that or Allen CHEATED! In any case... It was a really fun night.

OK so the next day Allen bunked school and took me around East Berlin for a bit before we went back to his English class in the afternoon. A class full of ex-German-exchange-students who take the subject as a means of getting easy as credits... before long we where back home at Phil's with there little runt dog, Bobby. :P Later that day Philipp and Allen had to go back to school to run 3Ks in under 10minutes. I came alone, using a fake name, and ending up coming second out of all the 30 or so guys who ran. Sweet.... I think taking up swimming again recently has really increased my long distance stamina...

BOND!
That's right. It's still brand new in Germany... Philipp, Allen, their friend Chris, and I went to the German permierer in the huge Sony Centre Cinemas in Potzdamer Platz. Going with Allen.... it was kind of endividable that we were going to go in formal ware xD.... Suits... Sunglasses....fake U-bahn-Train I.D's. Was really fun. And I found the film SWEET.

So... on to the main event of the weekend. Chris's Birthday....
Chris is a friend of both Allen and Phil and it he just happened to be having his 19th birthday party on the Saturday while I was there. We spend agers preparing and helping out with the party stuff and getting the old 2nd story apartment all set up for it. (he has this pretty big, pretty abandoned, pretty sweet party house in his posession, thanks to a grandma or wortevar relitive of his. So you walk in and it's kind of grotty, and you can well tell that It's been apandoned for agers, but it really makes a great party location...and we decked it out hell good. Lights, Gold wallpapery randomnis... even our own Reggae DJs... who yea... went on strike after half an hour...but the turn-tables sure made the place look swarve....thought me. l.o.l.
So yea the night went on... heaps of fun people turned up.... we played intense drinking games untill one of the contenstances commered out... (ok so it was a lightweight girl who couldn't handel a shot...) but yea... thats Germany... Came this > < class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">migga chicks who were nice enough let me crash at their place in Mainz (Capital of Rheinland-Pfalz which is the German State I live in) yea... v. random way to end a reallly fun weekend I won't forget.
