Final Blog: Thank you Germany!

My last blog. What I certainly will remember about Germany is the people´s friendliness. I met hundreds of beautiful persons that I´ll carry in my heart for the rest of my life. But as always all good things come to an end. In this post I´ll picture some of the nicest memories I gathered during my 5-months stay.

 

The best thing that happened was climbing the Halden Rungenberg, a hill on which you can have the nicest view over the Ruhr-area in the whole city of Gelsenkirchen, with my good friend Felix. It was dark, cold and in the middle of the night that we decided to go on an adventure. On the top I almost froze to death, but the delightful sight over this industrial area covered by blue light kept my body warm. An unforgettable evening!

 

The second thing I´ll never forget was our double house party. It was great to organize an event on our own living ground. People brought some booze, danced and just had fun. Due to the tremendous amount of sexual tension, our parties were baptized as ´find-yourself-some-nice-guy-or-girl-to-fuck-with´-ensembles. The days after could certainly be described as a living hell. The floor looked like ground zero covered with lots of cheap German spirits and the smell could have been compared to Felix sitting on the loo. Anyhow, it was worth it.

 

I will always keep the taste of German Wurst (sausage) in mind. I´m sure it will be enormously nostalgic to eat that nice specialty again in my own country on cold Christmas markets in December.

I would like to thank all the Germans for their hospitality in this beautiful country and I hope everything will go well after we´re gone. As an Erasmus student I can highly recommend the Westfälische Fachhochschule in Gelsenkirchen. If you want to have a great time with very good friends in cozy bars in the heart of Germans industrial area, I think this small town is a very good option.

 

Cheers for the Germans!
