3 parties 1 night

Last night was so fun. I partied with the most everyday people to the rich peeps of Frankfurt all in one night. Here's how it goes. Steffen and I slept for the most part of Thursday and watched Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen between snoozes. At about 8 we decided it was time to get going so we packed all our warm clothes for the cold scoot drive (I wear my slippers on scoot at night). We began at macca's for dinner then drove back out to Lämmerspiel near the Waitz for the first little get together. In a tiny almost run down apartment we met up with 3 other workers at the Waitz, Jenny, Vans and Katrin. As well as 3 French guys, I forget their names though. Conversation was crazy, there was German, French and English been thrown around, poor Steffen was the worst hit as he was the only one that understood all 3.

A bit after 10 we left and drove to Frankfurt to the Dreikönigskeller (Three Kings Cellar). It was a tiny tiny room underground, Steffi from work had invited me so I think we really made her night by going, she was so happy. She also say's that I am disgustingly young. The crowd ranged from 18 to 50 something with most being 35ish I think and let me tell you, these guys really got into it! The band, Hot Wire, was really good. They played everything from Johnny Cash to Red Hot Chili Peppers. Marco joined us too and overall it was an interesting experience and a whole new scene but I'm glad we went.

Once the band finished we had the intentions of going home as Steffen is sick with the flu (which I know have as well, thanks darling). This didn't happen though. We ended up walking through Frankfurt across the bridges in the freezing cold pushing scoot to end up at Roomers. Roomers is a fancy dancy Design Hotel and bar which has a little party every month. Marco's dad Chino was there as he is the wine supplier so we were asked to join. We really looked 'off the street' compared to some of the crowd but who cares when the drinks are fantastic as well as the awesome decor. There was something about their almonds too because they were the best I'd ever had. We only spent a short time at Roomers though and on the way home we ended where we had started. Steffen and I walked through the Macca's drive-thru for our Magnum Mcflurry's while making car noises then off to bed it was.

Overall it was a great, extremely tiring night and today we both woke up around 12 sicker than before but it's alll ok, the 5 day weekend goes on.

My New Pet

Since being here I've wanted a pet. Something to look after. A Sookie, a Benji or a Molly. I was extremely close to getting a hamster but then everybody told me not to which annoyed me and I never brought a hamster. But now! I have a pet. He looks after himself, feeds himself and so on, though I only see him about once or twice everyday. I have claimed the squirrel that lives in my street. He's awesome, he can even climb up high walls like a ninja! He eats the nuts and seeds from the tree in the back and front yard and plays in the flowers in next doors yard. I claim him to be cooler than all the squirrels I saw in Yosemite National Park in America.

In other news Steffen and I went out to Velvet, a club in Frankfurt, for the Hotel Staff Party on Monday. It's a party for the staff of the numerous hotels in the Frankfurt area. I got in simply because I was Australian. A feature every Australian should abuse when overseas, your nationality can do a lot for you. It was a fun night but my feet were killing me after not having danced heels since graduation. Next time I'm taking my slippers to wear on scoot on the way home. The highlight of the night though was that they had Midori! Not many places here seem to hold it. But I'm so disappointed to see that the photo we had taken came out a bit blurry, damn photographer. Maybe next month and if it's better than this one I'll post it.
