the (ex) Bachelor

on Wednesday 24th we had the Carbonara night: Maria (Bulgaria) and Juan Pablo in particular asked me to show them how to cook "pasta alla carbonara", and Marìa (Spain) and Victor joined, too. what makes the Italian people great? Art? Creativity? noooooooo, conquering the world with our food! :D embracing both Gandhi's "no violence" philosophy and the hippies' "make food, not war" motto ahaha

about this night there are few photos:

this series is called "the hippies and the viking"; it's up to you to choose who's the viking and who are the hippies, because.... I don't know ihih
but the important thing is.... what about that hair? where is carbonara?

ok ok, a bit of patience. this is our preparation to..... JP'S BACHELOR PARTY!!!!

so Juan Pablo was not only going back to Guatemala/Costa Rica, but he's also getting married to Daniela!

so we had to organise something special and unforgettable...

as far as JP knew we were supposed to organise a party in Lallo's house, a simple gathering with friends. that's why he was asked to come a bit earlier to spend some time with us and prepare the party.
what he didn't know was.... that the party was somewhere else and not that simple ;)

we started drinking some rum (bacardi!), to get (him) in the mood. we had to drink, too, not to reveal our real plan ihih. here starts the Zorritas' team's task!

so he is asked to go to Marìa's room and sit. on the bed there is wax, an epilator, tweezers...
here you can see his reaction

of course we weren't going to epilate him. but this was a small tactic to make him accept the real plan: a bachelor party according to the German tradition that we saw in Bremen!

so here we are! first step: dressing him up as a woman.
here we show him how he is before the "treatment".

and then all the different steps to the result: Paula! or Juanita Paulita or.... the name you prefer :D

the first step was completed successfully!

second step: bring JP to the central station to meet all the other people, leaded by the Monkeys' team, that organised the rest of the evening.

when JP understood that he was supposed to go out, he offered a bit of resistance. but not that much!!! we were amazed.

as good Pygmalions, we also taught her some secrets about being a lady and how to valorize her beuty:

but here we go with the main part of the plan: The tradition!

in the central station we met all the other friends and JP was given a basket full of candies, small bottles of spirits and condoms. JP was supposed to sell them to the people we were meeting on the street.

as you can see in the pictures, JP got in the mood, and he was reaaaaally good! as it's a tradition, the people on the street were smiling, many people bought sth: how could they resist a chick like her!

then we stopped next to Domsheide (the centre) to play one of the games prepared for the night: Are you ready to leave Bremen?
this game consisted in questions about JP and his life in Bremen and the answer was hinted with the beginning letter and following the alphabetical order.

after this we went back to Freimarkt, as it would have been a perfect place to try to sell goodies.

the people there were nice and our JP version 2.0 tried to show how the improvement could be successful.

after a round, we decided to go into the Bavarian tent: here you can see the entrance with that Bavarian big doll, singing "ein prosit, ein prosit.....".
I love here how they have all these speaking and singing dolls (like the scary one and on Christmas a singing reindeer).
so in the tent we played the second game: Are you ready to get married?
the game was a variation of the game "who wants to be a millionaire?", with the 3 helps and questions about Daniela.

after this, everybody wanted to try the secret of JP as a woman: the brests and the wig.
here are the photos

do you think the night was now over: no way ;)

we went dancing in magazinekeller, but no photos of that: the cameras were either full or with low battery. of course!!! it had already been a long night!
here you can read Marìa's post about this night.

the following day I had to catch my flight. here is my see-ya-soon committee: Marìa.

the others couldn't come, expecially JP who was at the policestation trying to find a solution for his passport: we lost his jacket the previous night :S fortunately it's Germany and... they found it!


so, that's all, folks, from Bremen!

V for Vendetta

ok I'm a bit late posting, but that means.... I had a lot of fun ;)

ok so me in Bremen: on saturday 20th we started with a nice conversation with Victor... it was spontaneous but also I had to be sure that he didn't want to go to his room while Maria was stealing his Barcelona T-shirt. well isn't it clear? for me too ihihi

in Lallo's house (the house I used to live in) there was some kind of revenge going on and I took somehow part of it, of course of the funny side ;)

here is the proof of our crime :D there is also Juan's Barcelona T-shirt, which had already been stolen. we are improving, last time on May we learnt how to force a door open!

at night we were invited to a birthday party. it was a proper one, with invitation, cakes and free drinks, all in a rented room, so not the typical erasmus/exchange students party.
here are the photos :D Marìa reached us later, because she came back from Spain at 10.30 pm and theeeeen, she couldn't miss the night with us :D

in the group we are divided in teams :D here on the left the Zorritas' team: me and the two Marias (I still think i should change my name); on the right the Monkeys' team: Juan, Victor and Juan Pablo.

after the party we wanted to go to halle 7, a pavilion of the fair, which becomes a club when there is the Freimarkt: but Flavia's curse strikes back! for the second year, we went there too late, and no more people were accepted. to go there we had to pass through Freimarkt, closed and full of spooky ghosts. The story of the desert fun park hahahaha

On sunday we had our Pyjamas day: which means comfy clothes, vegetating and chatting all day long. that's why although we celebrated all together the ferrari's victory, there are no photos to document it :)

On monday we had the Sarmì day. Sarmì it's a bulgarian meal made of grape leaves, rice, meat and spring onions accompanied by turkish yoghurt: i love it! and Maria cooked it because she knoooooooooooooows it! unfortunately there are no photos of this, too.... this just to give a clue about my conditions: i just forgot!

see you soon with the next episode of "Bremen Bremeeeeeen"

Bremen, Bremen

if it wasn t clear............... I'm in Bremen!!!!

so few days and already so much to post!!!

I flew here on Friday the 19th from Milano, Orio al Serio. It is next to the city of Bergamo, but it's considered the 3rd airport of Milan. You can see it here in all its beauty ;)
the flight was perfect, it was just plagued by aliens :D the stewardess had aliens eyes and the steward was something like 14 years old :D (for the "queer as folk" fans, he looked like Justin).

I landed and I had my welcome committee, Maria and Juan Pablo. so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

at night we went to Freimarkt, that is a fair with attractions, typical food and of course.... beer tents!

we started watching the fireworks, which where really nice! JP tried to use me as a tripod for cameras... but i'm not that good in that :D

then we went to listen to some live music, dancing and.... I mean: we were thirsty, it would have been a pity not to try some beer! but we weren't the only ones honouring this local speciality: we went outside the tent and.... found this guy. as you can see, the Freimarkt was full of people! who among us wouldn't have taken the chance for a nap there? two policemen were trying to wake him up and other 4 were not too far. a total of 6 policemen for one sleeping drunk guy: he must have been a nasty nasty criminal!

then there was the time to honour the food specialities but before we did something I always wanted to do: here are the photos!


and here is the video about a talking attraction in Freimarkt, i think it was supposed to be scary.
