So I ended up staying two more nights in frankfurt than i had planned, which was worth it! after waliking around franfurt im not gonna lie i wanted just to walk to the train station and catch the next train going any where! Frankfurt is not an exciting city! its big and pretty boring!
but that wasnt my case! because after i walked around the city and got hassled by arabian sales men i went to the train station and called Wencke, and asked what she was up to.. She was just at the Frat/sorority house hanging out and was going to play volleyball at seven! she told me to come over before then and wanted me to go! so like evey other decision ive made its kinda like why not! i cout the train to the lokalbounhof which is the station near her house and got there around 5:20 pm!
i was just in time for the giant monday night dinner that they insisted i join in on.. ha ha i was sitting at a table of about 16 people and listened to an entire dinner conversation in german.. ha ha it was fun but a little bit awkward.. but it was cool cause the president loved me and we got along good so he would chat with me at the table here and there! they made a toast to me and it was cool! then it was right back to german crazyness that i just cant and wont ever understand!
i helped with dishes even tho it was the newbies job ha ha, and then six of us headed out for volley ball!
we went to this cool little gym and set up a net and the whole nine yards! there pretty serious about it! ha ha during there ''warm up'' i was shooting hoops and just messing around and they were like `''dont you want to warm up by playing volly ball not basketball'' lol i was thinking uhh noooo i could care less to be honest with you and these half court shot are fun lol! but i joined in and then realized that im pretty dam good at vollyball ha ha thanks to my momma and sisters! it told like 20 min before we could actually play a real game but when we did it was a lot of fun! we went back to the house and did what you do at every frat house! drink drink drink..
it was fun and i had a place to crash on the first floor! i went and got the best pizza ive ever had for 4,30 at like 12:30 and went to sleep right after! the next morning i got up at like eleven and felt like i was gonna be the last one up and it was like a ghost house! not one single peep! so i went back in ''my room'' and kinda waited untill like 12:45 and heard noise! got up and had a cup of coffe with Marcus (the president) and Wencke. Marcus made Wencke go get breakfast cause shes a newby and she brought back some awesome german bread, ham, and some cheese and milk!
Marcus wanted to watch a movie which im never into but... i did and it was called Bowling for columbine. it was actually a good movie made by micheal more. it made me realize that america is really crazy with how easily we can get a gun! i told them i could throw a shot gun on the front of my quad and go shooting with a buddy, and go grab some shotgun shells from walmart for the next day! ha ha they were like really!!! then there like but you have to lock them up right?
of course i said hell no! i could lay that across my kitchen table and leave the blinds wide open ha ha.. they just gave me a weird ass look and i had to convince them i was serious!
the home of the brave and the free baby!! lol
they couldn't even get a paint ball gun with out troubles...
anys by the time the movie was over it was dark outside and i had to go back to the hostel i stayed at the first night and get my stuff.. it was in a locked room and was hoping no one would care that i just left it there.. but i got there and it wasnt a problem! i talked with my momma and then headed back to the frat/sorority house! we played some pool and i was gettin lucky! ha ha kept the table for three games but by then i wanted to loose ha ha..
Wencke and i went to get dinner and took some orders of what other people wanted. we had turkish pizza which was really good but not as good as the pizza i had the night before! then we stopped by a girl named helenas house! she was the only reason i stayed a third night!! ha ha dont think that she was just a really cool girl and we hit it off!
we went back to the house and had are dinner and then had another fun night! we hung around the frat for a little bit then me and four girls went out! ha ha thats all that wanted to go and i was not gonna complain! :)
we went to a bar that was dead.. then went to another one that wasnt packed either but it was a cool atmosphere! the bar tenders rock and it was the perfect group so i didnt care! i met the other kids there and they were really cool, they bought me a drink so i sat with them and just kinda bullshitted for a while! Helena came over and said i see you made some new friends.. your not ditching us are you?
i just gave her a blank look like... umm was that a serious question? ha ha but i just said no of course not im coming back over right now and introduced the kids i met to the girls!
two of the boy came back to the frat and we played some foosball! it was just a fun night! The next morning helena took me to the train station after i said my good byes and ended up missing my train.. so i hung out at the station with helena until the next train to berlin was leaving! i was sooo close to going to Amsterdam but.. decide to keep with berlin! cause next is hamburg and im gonna get George a jersey from that area!
George i miss ya man and i can totally see why your addicted to traveling!
My train got to belin when at like eleven pm and i didnt know what to expect and was hoping the train station was near a hostel just because it was pitch black and almost mid night.. the trains are pretty cumfy but i felt retarded when i walked down a ways to grab a water cause on my way back i passed me seat then went a whole nother cart and turned back around and just started getting embarrassed cause people were looking at me like wtf.. is he exercising? ha ha i finally found it after the guy sitting across from me laughed and pointed at my seat..
any ways the train station is pretty dam big and i was still a little overwhelmed, but mad it work!
i asked information were a good hostel near by is and he sent me to the meininger.. it looked cool and wasnt far at all so i made it there and the only room left was a single (private room) and it was 75€!!! omg!! i was tired and didnt want to hike thru berlin this late soo i tryed saving twenty euros by checking in online but that didnt work soo i just went back up to the counter and talked him down to 65€! still way expensive but had to do it at that point!
the room was sooooooooo nice ha ha! and it was kinda nice to have my own room with a nice shower, bathroom, tv (only in german..) and a comfy ass bed! I was really tired and came back down to skyped with my mom and sister! then met some Art students from ireland and got talked into going to a dance club! omg it was for sure a dance club!! ha ha i danced until 5:30 am and went back with the group in a taxi! i ran over to the train station cause i wanted to eat and went to bed! Those kids were really cool and all probably see them again in Ireland! i have 3 min left on this computer cause i didnt want to type all this on my i touch... but it feels good to get my blog caught up and typing for just about an hour!
love you guys!
im missen home!!!
no i get to actually see the city of Berlin!!
im headed out for a long walk and probably to find a new hostel!
Its so crazy traveling like this! Every new city is like starting a new trip!
Like you meet people start to feel comfortable and get attatched then your off to start over! It's hard to explain.. But Helena was bummed to see mr go and I guess it kinda made me bummed to leave but you gotta move on and see new things that's what I told her.. And she was like I thought you could stay as long as you want? So.... You don't want to? I was like come on you gotta see where I'm coming from!
Any ways just thought I share some thoughts with ya!
Travelling solo is mentally a lot but I'm lovin it and wouldn't of brought a friend if I could do it agian!
I've learned alot and made a good decision!!
