Well this weekend was my birthday... I'm now officially old and stopping count. But we had a top notch time this weekend which was necessary for my sanity here. Friday I picked up my friend Calvin from the Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhoff.
This was after getting some Mario Kart in at my colleagues... kicked some serious butt here just like when I make papa bear look bad, in his own home nonetheless... So we met up with Lorik and Emily and went out in Düsseldorf. We had some excellent food and I found what seems like the only good burger in the country. It was amazing at the club Louisiana that all the germans were rocking out to 60's / 70's US music. We finished the night with some Burger King where I paid €2.50 for a whopper junior... sick...
Saturday we reconvened in Leverkussen where I finally got an umbrella, which I promptly left in Emily's purse. We got some phenomenal Dönner's then hit up Köln. We ascended the tower of the Dom for some incredible views then went back to Düsseldorf to catch the Japan fest they were having and pick up the 5th member of our group Vlad. We had steaks for dinner, which were not exactly the greatest cuts of meat, but it wasn't pork and that made me happy.
Once the
fusbal matches ended we headed out to do some dancing.
Funnily enough we ended up at the club I made fun of earlier. After that it was off to
nachtresidenz (look it up ;-) for some serious German clubbing. On the way we had a good laugh as I was Scott Scott the navigator. I of course was the wrong one to be asking if you've seen my posts about driving here. Oh the sights there were excellent like the music. It was a pretty decent DJ spinning some house music. There were so many people there it was crazy. Turns out it used to be a movie theater that's been converted into a top notch club. Seeing as I had to drop Calvin off at 11am the following morning we called it a night at 3, whereas we left Vlad behind to hobble out of the club at about 7. It probably would have been worth staying... Unfortunately at midnight I became too old to do that stuff anymore and the carriage turned into a pumpkin. Regardless, I actually had a good time finally!
