Another normal party, sort of

Being an Erasmus student means partying a lot. Well now you think, HMMM I have herd that before. Truth to be told, yes, you did. The think is I just wanted to make an emphasis on it again.

So one day, better to say evening probably, somehow the people gathered in my room AGAIN. I do not know why, but it always have to be mine or Hanne's room, which is practically the same, because we live in one Cell:)/AN: everyone found it really funny, when I told them it is called cell in Slovakia...Especially after I showed them pictures of the dorms HOPA:))))./ So again I had about 10 people in my teeny tiny room, meaning they were sitting everywhere, including my table, night table, chairs, bed and of course floor. The finish guys were still in their Jagermeister phase, which to be honest meant only, that they got sloshed as often as possible drinking only and exclusively this shit.

They tried to persuade everyone, how great and tasty it is. OK, of course I tried it, who could resist the puppy eyes they were both giving me:) But to be honest it was bad. Awful even. So on this special evening we found out, that you are not supposed to look Finish people directly to eyes, because it makes them uncomfortable. Sami even admitted it was quite bad for him in the beginning, when the strange Slovak girls were trying to make a conversation, because we were evading his personal space. His words, not mine:). After this big confession started chaos. The finish guys were feeling rather uncomfortable, because everyone tried to stare directly into their eyes. The room was filled with: "Do not stare at me.", "I am not staring, you are imaginating things!!!", "You are doing it again!","No I am not...." I think you can imagine the routine by now:)


One important thing we found out though is, that Sami has eyes like a Siberian Husky. I do not have to tell you, he wasn't really happy about our revelation:)

Then I noticed, that one Scottish girl is absorbed by looking at Sami and Pekka. After a while she asked them really sincerely, what they are drinking. They answered proudly:"Jagermeister!!" and held their bottles closer to them. /Yes, you read right, each of them had his own... Well guys and their bottles:)))))))))/ She thought for a bit and then asked: "Are you going to die from this stuff?" I have to tell you, she did it in a really innocent way. Just a comment, she isn't innocent at all:). So the guys were thinking, and then Sami answered: " I hope I will live till I finish the bottle." To which Rhona/Scottish girl/ said: "What a pity."

/This is Rhona:)/

After another couple of minutes, which Sami spent in total solitude, he said: "Death from Jagermeister. How cool is that."

Disco WHAT???


Our Business ethics teacher is teaching social dancing as well. SO one day we somehow managed to persuade the guys with our peacefull ways*devil laugh*

But anyway after like two hours of whining and complaining they were coming. We came there quite tired, the way took around 45 minutes and when we saw the teenage faces it was almost too much. Thank god we were standing in the doors, otherway the guys would escape. Well what a girl must do a girl must do * sigh*

Because the way you dance, I mean a pair dances, depends mostly on the male, and let me tell you they do not teach social dancing in Finnland or Scotland, we pretty much sucked. I think it is enough to say, the name of the dance was disco fox. Well bad choice for the first time, Mr. Reese. It was fast, it was fun, but to be honest, we looked more loke maniacs of some kind than gracious dancers:))))))

Because I have had some dancing lessons and Anna as well, we tried to help the third international couple...well international aka finish:)))) We were trying to teach the Finn at least the basic steps, to which Ulla, his gracious and kind *cough cough* partner said: "Pekka I am sorry, this will never work, you dance like a troll." After this Pekka, the poor thing, was confused, and the two other guys were sitting on the floor laughing.


I lookied at him trying really hard not to smile and told him, he wasn't that bad. He looked at me sadly and told me: "You are just being polite." To which I could only reply: "Well, ....yes:)."


After the lessons we went to a little irish pub and got us some beers. Like I told you before, I actually drink beer here. We started some small talk about alcohol. *HEY we are erazmus people:)))))* We told them that we/in SVK/ sometimes drink red wine and coke, after which they looked at us really strangely. And told us: "Slovak girls you are really strange:)." After a while, we were talking about eating habits of the Finish guys. They eat Tuna fish and sausage and Salami and drink milk with it. Well I call THAT strange:). But different country, different habits. Like my Scottish friends say : "Whatever rocks your boat, duuude:)))))"

Rostock...YES! It is bigger than Wismar:)

On one nice and sunny Saturday/Oh I miss them SO MUCH!!!! - the sunny days:)/ we decided to visit some other town than our beloved CITY of Wismar. We were supposed to go only 5, but in the end we were 14. I know 14 isn't TOO much, but imagine you have to wait for 5 minutes for everybody. So in the end we almost didn't catch the train. Also me and Anna/my perfect and beloved Slovak friend - this sentence is to give her my best regards for everything:))))))/ were the only ones speaking english and german. I do not mean english OR german either. There were some russian who spoke only German, which didn't help the Finish people much, cause they speak ONLY english and swedish...But obviously that language isn't helping them much in this Godforsaken country:)))))))

It took us 20 minutes to use a ticket maschine in a train. Well Geniuses:)))))) What more is there to say. Fortunatelly after coming to Rostock,the target of our travel, the finish girls decided it is time for shopping and they do not care for sights anyway.



So we were stuck at 9 people, which is pretty tough to manage through the town. But we managed pretty nicely, OK we managed somehow:)...





What we saw, some churches...really nice - AN/people reading fanfiction know/Hi Veron:)/ it means author note:)))))))))))))/ I really like churches - then the main square, some old buildings, important fountain - do not remember why really and Art university....


The Art university....We met a German guy, who took some of our pictures, told us to go there, that it is really really nice...SO we were looking for it for 45 minutes...AND the results were a LITTLE dissapointing...But well at least we found it. This is it:) Really nice:)



Then we left the russians, well looking at boats for 40 minutes isn't really my idea of fun...Soooo we went shopping...But only for a while, we bought like Anna calls them motivational stuff:) And went home satisfied and happy:)
