The night life

Sitting in the flat feeling guilty for not getting much done in my day was depressing. The choice to stay in ALL day and night or go out at night became easy. I had planned to go to an outdoor swing session in the mall near Marienplatz but it was raining. Eventually I realised that there are no places to eat from around here and that I have a monthly train pass. So I headed in to the Innerstadt and had a nice surprise.

It turns out, Friday nights (maybe others) are really popular for shopping. There were heaps of places open late (till 11pm?) and also heaps of street acts and in store performers to attract customers. My adventure went as follows:

• Ein wenig sharf Chinese essen (little sharp/hot chinese meal)
• A free glass of champagne in the underground of Karstadt along with some indian performers/belly dancers
• Outdoor performance of near naked women for a wonderbra? Ich behüten nicht die wonderbra aber es war wunderbar.
• A guy doing some card and magic tricks inside an electronics store (awesome magic!!)
• Some random looking guys singing in tune outside a clothing shop
• 3 ladies singing into a microphone inside another clothing shop
• A live country(?) band
• A strange space person conducting an interesting light/sound show down an entire lane!

To top it off, I also obtained some interesting nut things coated in honey and roasted. I had to ask a girl standing near by what type of nuts they were, but she couldn’t say it in English (possibly almonds). I loved the expression on her face when I told her I was from Australia. It’s almost as if she won the lottery! Even as she disappeared with her friend the first thing she said is “… Australien!”

So next week I may do the same thing… wonder down the main streets pretending to buy stuff and ask girls what to eat (?).

Everyone was wet but worth it

Honey nuts (almonds?.. mandeln=tonsils or almonds)
