Teil 8.

So I'm still catching up on what's been going on since i've been back (and i'm trying oh so hard to blog more often!) and there's so much to write about! But there are a few things that have caught my eye and are definitely blog worthy. Firstly, it's the 130th anniversary of the economist and philosopher Karl Marx, whom was born in Trier. Therefore there's an installation at the Porta - 500 mini red Karl Marx statues. Quite a spectacle, especially when one God of a human being arranged them so they are doing the conga :P

Now, they are not nailed down, which, if they were in England, would have all disappeared by now! I do believe someone was caught wandering down the street clutching one, and when questioned as to why they took it, they claimed they merely wanted to decorate their flat with it! I have to admit, as soon as i saw them, i wanted one! You can buy them for 300 euros each, but no. The student inside me wants to steal it haha

Happy birthday Karl :D

Anyhow, onto more pressing matters. Partying :) Isabella's friend, Stephen, paid us a wee visit and it just so happened that Clancy (one of the Irish guys) was having a birthday party in Martins Kloster, the Studentenwohnheim in town. So after meeting Stephen in Koblenz, we bought some wonderful Sekt from Netto (the obvious choice for ones alcohol purchase :P) and got our prink on on the train. The fact that it is acceptable to drink on trains astounds me and is probably one of my favourite things about Germany! Naturally, we managed to heavily piss off the other passengers, a fine art :) After a quick change at home, we were at the Kloster.

I think this photo sums up the night.....

I think i spent most of the night chasing Josh around trying to get him to come home rater than sleeping under some stairs. Although i think he actually slept in a lift that night, fail :/ By the end of the night it had become some kind of weird inbred family....a common occurrence at Erasmus parties. I guess you could say that we're all a bit too 'friendly'. I'm sure there'll be many more nights like this to come!
