My new HOBBIES

When I am thinking about going home, I am doing it with a laughing and crying eye!
The time went by so fast, maybe cause I had lots of things to do!? Exactly!

I started 2 new hobbies, the first one is going to a fitness studio called

YMCA (NO, that doesn't mean that I lost weight), 2nd one is learning to dance Salsa and East Coast Swing.

On these pictures I am dancing Salsa with Jose!

"Salsa"

is every Saturday at a Bar/Club called HOT

WATER and it is for FREE.

It starts with a lesson for about an hour and th

en you

can practice with a bunch of Latinos, Spanish, Mexican, American..... people.

Most of them are very good dancers so you learn more and more every Saturday you go there! What I really like at HOT WATER? The atmosphere!

Everybody is very friendly and nice and they are all there for just one reason... to DANCE!

I also learned a little bit of Mambo.

City Lounge (Karaoke Sunday)

Crazy Americans ;o)

The Safe House

The safe house is a very interesting bar. It is a kind of adventure.
You can find faked doors, like when you use special doors you will stay outside and you have to walk to the front door again.
You also need a password to come in, if you don't know it you have to do some stupid stuff.
Like make an airplane or bark like a dog.
And inside they have TVs that everybody can watch the people who don't know the password.

A memory from Checkpoint Charly

My first flat!

I was living there with approx 11 other students.

After 2 month I moved out.

It wasn't to difficult to find a new flat, but you can't believe what some people wants to offer.

For example, one flat looked like they had a party last night. You could see cigarettes on the floor and it was so dirty there. I was asking her, if they had a party last night and she answered, that it would always look like this. It was usual for her! They also had no door lock anymore, it was broken! So everybody could walk in whenever they want to.

But after I saw 4 other flats I found a nice place to live.

However after 2 weeks I had to move out at the 2nd place. The reason was, that I lived together with a young man who comes from of a culture, where they have arranged weddings.
And it will happen as soon as possible!

I am sorry I didn't make any pictures of that flat.

Anyways, he helped me to find an another flat.
Since then, I am living together with 2 friendly and nice young men.
Which became very good friends to me.

I apologize

Hello again,
