Kulturnacht.

Today has been lovely. I have had a mini tour of Euskirchen and I am pleasantly surprised at how big the centre is, despite everyone saying how small it is. And there is a traditional english telephone box that their twin-town Basingstoke gave them, but instead of using it as a phone they use it as somewhere to swap books. Can you imagine doing that in a tiny telephone box? Such an amazing idea! Everyone just goes and takes a book and puts one back in it's place. I must take photos!

Tonight I have been to the 5. euskirchener Kulturnacht and really enjoyed myself. I will confirm here that Germans can do comedy and are so funny! Eva Eiselt (above) was hilarious! I also saw Tunc Denzier and Ozan Akhan, if you're interested watch them on youtube, so funny.  We also went to see a clown who did some tricks and then proceeded to put a woman on his shoulders and ride a unicycle, eeeep! There was some flamethrowers who were really good, nothing like I have ever seen before! To end we went to a jazz concert by the Römer-Schmitz-Quintett "Two Generations of Tenors", which was a-mazing. Absolutely loved it! Plus one of the saxophone players was beautiful ;p

Tomorrow I'm going to Bonn with another teacher from the school and we're going to 'the best Italian' restaurant and then to look around at the nightlife. Should be fun :)

New things I've learned today:
  1. Bonjour is tasty. It can't be found in Germany, but rather in the Netherlands. Kindly though Angelika's best friend has given me a whole jar full! Wie schön :)
  2. Euskirchen is a town which makes sugar. 
  3. I really love Germany.
  4. The internet knows where I am in the world and it's freaky.
