Fully Sick

Yuuuuuk! Yesterday I woke up and I was violently ill. I am not going to divulge any disgusting details but lets just say it was quite uncomfortable. This was after saturday which was the riverboat party, a day for all the new local and international students to get to know each other. It was 5 euros and the day started at 2pm on campus. We kicked it off with some drinking games, and a hell of a lot of free alcohol. From there we went to the other campus to have some dinner and more alcohol. Then at 8pm we stepped on to the boat and from there the night goes a little bit shady. The next thing I remember is getting off the boat at 1am. From there, some boys I had befriended that day, Joao, Alvaro (both from Spain) and Stanislas (from France), took me to this strange little bar tucked away somewhere (we now have no idea how we got there or how to find it again). The inside was decorated with white bubble wrap, some sections you could fold back the walls and there would be more hidden rooms with projectors playing random images on the walls. Also, the guy who designed the bar was there so we were hanging out with him and he showed us some more hidden little rooms which we would never have found. One was downstairs and the floor was covered in plastic, and underneath was glass which cracked when you stepped on it. Weird, but uber chic! Also, the best bit about the bar was you got to choose how much you wanted to pay for beers, so we paid about 3 euros for a few rounds. Needless to say it was quite the night.

On Friday Jane, Adrienne and I went to Frankfurt for the day. It was great timing because their newest addition to the city was this gigantic shopping complex with what looked like a glass vortex built through the middle. It looked fantastic from the outside and from the inside it was like something M.C. Escher would have designed.
