Nightlife in England

Katies telling off has been quite intimidating, thats why Im writing twice in one day! (Or maybe its just that I had too many pictures for 1 single blog???)

Now when my brother was here, I wanted to give him a really great time and I wanted to show him the famous english nightlife...thats how it turned out:




To this last picture I have to say, I didnt actually win, but I wasnt as bad as you would probably believe...OK, I did loose all the games we played...but...I did manage to throw some pins over. Ha, bet you looke quite surprised!

After all that fun we had in the Kursaal we did something even more fun the next day: we went to Tescos after 10 pm...what a feeling! We lived so on the edge that night...because before Tescos we went to the Halfwayhouse for a dietcoke (after finding out they didnt have hot chocolate).

Just in case you didnt know, the Halfwayhouse is pretty much our main Nightlife place in town...heres the proove:


Thats 2 weeks ago, in the Halfwayhouse, after deciding that we were going to give Jazzy an exciting evening out...

Well, thats enough hard blogging work for one day...I shall go to bed now! Sleep thight!

Holiday

OK, so I got this major telling off from Katie because I am a quite bad blogger...but I decided to make some effort today, just specially for Katie :-)

The last few weeks have been great for me, because it was half term in Switzerland and therefore quite a few people had time to come and see me...that was nice. And most of them brought gifts, so that was even better.

The first person to come and spend a weekend here was Jasmin


(Jasmin is the one with the nice tan, the one with red cheeks that looks like Heidi is me...). Anyway, Jazzy is a great person! She's just up to anything anytime...like going out for a drink and ending up having a pierced ear...or going for a walk along a lake and ending up singing tacky love songs on the end of a pier...or coming to England and go to the main event...or going to Spain and buying a gift for me, although i really don't deserve it :-) Its the way coolest apron ever!

I suppose I'm really quite limitedly talented with computers, I'm not even able to turn this pic round, but I'm sure u can see that it is indeed a blue apron with huge red dots on.

The next ones to come were Astrid and Evelyn


They are both part of the army in Thun and just part of the group of worlds greatest people...it was way good to have them because they helped me defending Switzerland (that evening it was "pick on Swiss people day" in our youth fellowship, and just to let u know, the actual president of Switzerland is Micheline Calmy-Rey.

And them too brought great gifts. One of them was chocolate which is good in a bad way, the other was a mug that yodels...they are ever so cool, u cant imagine! But the coolest were the Swiss mint candy, just because of the special box they come in (some people were so amazed about the box that they couldn't stop playing with it!)


We had a short but great time together, and to end up they're stay in England we went to see Mary Poppins...unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures after the lights are turned down in the theater, so we took one before...which is not as interesting, but still quite cute:





As you can see, by the time we went to London, my brother had already arrived in England. He has lost 3 stone since I last saw him and I have to say: My brother is hot! But just before I write more about him, Ill have to mention that, while in London, we met up with my friend Nathalie, who used to studie with me...when we went to college she used to have short purple hair with purple glasses and purple puma trainers, so I had to look twice when this girl started talking to me:






She is working as an Au Pair in Denmark, but seems to have been a bit luckier in her choice of family to work with, she loves the job...I bet shes great with the kids!

Anyway, I was telling you about my brother. He's the bestestest brother in the whole world!





And way i think hat? Because he bought me this:




You may think that I love him just because he bought me an MP3 player, but your wrong...because the real reason of my affection is that he bought me the pink earphones as well :-D


I wanted to show him a bit of England, so I asked Tracy and Andy to take us to Brighton, which they did, and that's why they need to be mentioned as great people too.



Now as the sun goes down tonight, im quite sad because my brother is going home tomorrow, my Holidays are over and tomorrow Ill have to go back to my job and my diet, practising Cornet and speaking proper english...oh well!

Friendz

This is me with my friend John.


As you may have noticed, he has been mentioned on this blog before...one of the reasons is, of course, that hes a very special person...the other reason is that I simply didnt have any other friends to mention :-)

Because I was fed up with this situation, I decided to go out into the great big world and find some new friends. And what better place is there to meet new people than London? So there I went last Saturday. I decided that the best way to meet people in London would be just standing there and asking people if they would mind to be on a picture with me, so my friends in Switzerland would think I was having tons of fun with loads of great people.


The first person that agreed in being pictured with me was Katie. Katie is one of these lucky people who can eat like a pig (in amount that is, not in tablemanners) and still doesnt put on any weight. And she's the only person I've ever met to buy shoes that dont fit her because she likes them so much and they're not available in her size. It was great to meet her, although Im afraid that she now knows that John wasnt actually joking when he warned her about me :-S



This is Ben. It was his 24 birthday on saturday, so hes now a proper person. Which is great because im not the only OAP in the London North -East Division anymore. He's going to be a science teacher and he gave us a little taster of how he's gonna teach his pupils about all sexual matters (us=everyone that happened to be on the train)

And the last person that I happened to meet was Patrick. Hes from Germany and hes rather honest. Which is good. As long as you the proud owner of a vacuum cleaner :-)

After all, it was a great day, and I hope that you can soon read the real story of what happened on John's blog with loads of pictures etc. Just one last little point: If you ever have to decide between buying a pair of lovely warm boots and a pair of not so lovely but comfi trainers, just remember that beauty hurts. A lot. Specialy after hours of walking around...but I suppose everyones feet were hurting in the end, except maybe Patricks coz he is so tall that it must take quite a while for the pain sending messages from his feet to his brain.
