Friday 5th September 2008 - Day 3 in Aachen

6:30am is WRONG. There shouldnt be a time existing before 9am.

I put my alarm on snooze for another 15mins then realised I HAD to get up. So I did it. And it felt rubbish. I showered, got ready and headed out for 7:45pm. A little late.. But I made it on time. We got into our classes and it was quite strange.. The teacher talked full German (im pretty sure he cant speak English..) so it was tough to know what he was actually teaching us. After class I headed back to David place and relaxed for an hour before I had my flat viewing. The flat was perfect! The room is free for 2 months and its theee best location with a view over the Rathaus and the Dom. Well, I can see the tips of them. Funniest thing though.. Every German city has their Red light District and Aachens just happened to be perpendicular with the flat. I was following the map to get to the viewing and took a right.... oh no i didnt.... I turned into the street and got the biggest fright... a big scary lady standing at a window wearing almost nothing. I almost screamed and turned around running away. It was hilarious.. I just didnt expect to see that AT ALL!!!!!!!

The flat has a balcony with a veery nice view of the dom and rathaus, but also of the street. I can see the first 3 houses with the girls which is a bit weird. Otherwise, the flats great! hehe! So, im sharing with Roland whos also studying. He's seems like a really nice guy.

After the viewing I walked around the shopping area a little and didnt buy a thing! I then headed for some dinner and had my first currywurst. It was pretty poor compared to my experiences in Hamburg and Cologne, but still nice to be reunited with it. But this time.. not every week ;)


I then was back at Davids and got ready for the party that night. The students were having a BBQ welcome party, so I headed there about 7 and again, got lost. But hey, soon enough il get it right.... The party was fun. We drank, we danced, we ate and then drank some more. In total, Sauli and I counted 8 beers each.. and it only cost us 8 euros! Abut 25 of us headed out to Apollo for a bit of dancing and there we remained until the early hours!
