HALLÖSCHE Z´SAMME (this is hessian, the german part where I´m from and means hi to everybody)

First of all a BIG sorry ´cause it took me so long to post sth. on the blog and say a german hello to you...
But the days after my arrival were very busy and I head a hard time with my big enemy called "Jet-Lag"...
Let´s see...what happend: After Susanne helped me to carry me and my luggage (thanks again, sweety) to the airport and I met an unheeding Air-France-employee who didn´t care about the weight of my suitcases (yippie!!) I had a hard time with changing planes in Paris: Our flight was behind schedule and the lovely security guys first refused to let me board because the second plane was already ready to take off... I can tell you: BIIIGG discussion! :)
After my arrival I first decided to take my cute little car and drive to a bakery to buy some real german wholewheat rolls...I couldn´t sleep anyway because of the time change.
Ähm, how do I drive a car with gear shift? And why is there no parking spot in front of the bakery? You can imagine how things kept going: just take a look on Bianca´s "I am back home and experience some weird german things"-report... I felt nearly the same and I also found myself in this kind of funny, strange and scary situations...


After celebrating my mum´s (22.12.) and my birthday (23.12.) with a lot of german Becks-beer (no light beer!!) and a Merry Christmas (the presents from the U.S. proved to be blowoffs) I had to prepare for my visit in Kuwait where my boyfriend Carlos is doing an internship.
That means: no disco-outfit, no make-up, no jewelry. Instead of that: head scarf, clothes without attraction any attention.... ;(

After a flight with lots of Arabians who said their prayers every 30 minutes and a 6-hours-stopover in Istanbul, Turkey, I finally arrived at the airport of Kuwait, a place that is totally unrelated to the industrialized countries I have seen so far…





Men and women are separated most of the time during their social life (I pretended to be officially married…a precondition to sit next to your partner) like while shopping, dining, watching movies etc. and for me as a foreigner every women looked similar because of their black veil which only shows their eyes and nothing else.
The Kuwaitis celebrate New Year in late January; therefore there was no big party or any firework on New Year´s Eve…
Alcohol is completely forbidden in the country, so we decided to substitute the booze-up with lots of tasty local food…




Now I am back in Munster where I am trying to motivate myself to study for my final exams (sweat!!). I definitely would prefer to go shopping at Birch Run :)

Next weekend Markus will visit me and my friend who invited us to a big party themed “I wanna be a superstar”… Guess what? I have a special feeling that there will be a chance to meet “The Hoff” in person…(I accept autograph orders till next Friday)… Pictures are a promise!

Ok guys, hope you are doing fine and had great holidays!
I´m looking forward to hear from you soon! Take it easy ;)
