SABES QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE???

2006-11-30T09:11:00.000+01:00

well...i was partying with Gael GArcia ( y tu mama tambien, mala educacion, amores perros) and Diego luna ( dirty dancing 2, terminal)today..but lets start from the beginning. i went to a lecture of a portugese writer and gael today with a mexican friend and afterwards to a concert of some spanish bands. later on we went to a bar where we used to go to since it was annes and jacs farewell and we wanted to go there a last time. and then, when we arrived, the others said that diego luna is there and there are rumors that gael will come as well.. and well, it happend. i stil lcannot believe that they went to this bar, because its tiny and i thought, not that special. aaaaaanyhow... gael is soooooooo small... and definitely not that handsome in real life, but still.ahhhhhh. meanwhile somebody tried stealing my bag in the bar, but thanks to the security of that bar, i got it back... i dont wanna imagine what would have happened if that guy would have taken off with my stuff..
anyhow... tomorrow its my last day at the autonoma and then steve and y are going to travel.. gosh, how fast the semester passed by... for january and february i have a job in a ski area in germany and gonna gain some money, since mexico totally bankruped me. and then... finally then i will go back to mooi breda.

PS: here an expression how nice mexico can be in winter ;)....( i hope that doesnt make you jealous!!)

Beach

2006-10-18T19:12:00.000+02:00

Finally, after 3 month of being here in Mexico, i took the opportunity in going to the beach.
Together with jac, a girl who studies in Maastricht and Steve ( the one and only) we packed our most important things, rented some tents from Juan and headed off Thursday morning at 8pm to the beach. Our plan was, since we had a long weekend, to visit two beaches, so first it took us to Sayulita in the state of Nayarit, and later on to Puerto Vallarta-THE touristic spot on the Pazific Coast besides Acapulco.
Sayulita is a very small town and definitely not as easy reachable as touristy Puerto Vallarta, where you have a choice between 5 different buscompanies from GDL which go there every hour. So we took a bus to a smaller city on the coast to take a local bus back to Sayulita…and there it was again: The humidity- my biggest enemy. I really cannot handle humidity, especially with a tent and a handbag in the one hand, in the other my huge travel bag ( geeze, it really becomes time that I gonna get myself a backpack). Anyhow, sitting in the bus to Sayulita we met a guy who could recomment us a camping right at the beach of Sayulita. After arriving there, carrying our stuff in the midday head to the campground we firstly were surprised how the place looked like. I felt like in paradise, comparable to a place out of the ´The Beach´movie: Everywhere little huts covered with dried palmtree leaves and equipped with a little table, wooden seats, some had a hammock, candles, shell-decoration etc.-depending on how people decorated it before. So we built up- or lets say the guy who recommended us the place, our two tents ( one for our luggage, the other one for the 3 little spoiled girls). The campground is owned by an elderly hippy couple, which also rent beachcabins for a little price to travellers for around 5 euros pp a night. In general it was a very nice place to be, just a little bit run down ( everywhere garbage, rotten cars standing around there, rotten buildings which where in use before, broken showers, homeless dogs running around there).
After all this exhausting things we directly look a bath in the bathtube-warm pacific ocean, with was just in a blink of an eye distance from our tent-unfortunately the weather wasn’t that great – but so we also couldn’t get spoiled by the sun.
Anyways, after having a refreshing swim we were searching for a restaurant and soon found a nice bar directly located at the beach. Whilest sitting there an American girl was coming over and asked us if we are Australians-according to our accent. We started a conversation with her and her friends from spain and france and soon figured out that they are also exchange students from Guadalajara, studying at the ITESO. Thus they invited us over at night to one of their cabins and after having plenty of other swims in the sea and some tequila-squirts, we headed off to their house and by coincidence met Anika, a german friend I just went out with the night before and actually was supposed to be in Puerto Vallarta already. So we had some drinks, some nice chats next to the beachfire and soon went to our very comfortable bed-better expressed plain ground J. Actually never slept that bad, but as we say in Mexico: Vale la pena- and it was definitely worth it.
The next day we also almost spent all the day on the beach, had dinner in a restaurant recommented by lonely planet ( since somebody stole our food on the campgroung), as we found out on their menu, and actually it was very delicious!
For the night we planned on staying in our hippy- campground with the rest of the tequila and some bottles of cool sol beer. Soon we had company of some Mexican, Canadian and American neighbours.
After another night in our confi tent we headed off to Puerto Vallarta the next morning. Anika was already expecting us there. We decided in advance to stay in a hotel together there. It was quite a shock to get from the lonely, tranquil jungle destination to a lively, big, touristic city, but it was defintelty worth it as well to go there. Again we went to the beach, where in two hours approximately 30 beach vendors came to sell us any kind of stuff that you can sell on a beach: Handpainted Plates, Heads, glasses, Shrimps, Pareos, Blankets, silver jewellery, wooden artesanios, as well as cruises- yes cruises. And spontaneous as we where we decided on going on a beachcruise the next day. Actually it wasn’t that cheap but definitely worth it to go. Snorkelling with many colourful fishes, going to a tranquil beach, visiting a jungle, seing crocodiles, apes, iguanas and swimming in the lake of a waterfall- everything was included in the trip. Later on we had open bar on the beach and since there where not many young people ( and cute guys ) on boat, we made a party ourselves and drank in the shortest time beer, sex on the beach ( or bord ..however), tequila sunrise, margaritas … we also met a guy on the boat which studies tourism at our university here and whilest talking to him we figured out, that he is planning on going to the NHTV for an exchange- how small is the world, eh?
Anyhow, after being back on land we jumped with all our luggage into the next taxi to catch our last bus on the busterminal. Since it was already 6pm and we wanted to be back in Guadalajara as soon as possible ( it takes approx. hours) since classes were supposed to start very early the next day, we were quite in a hurry. Anyways, at the terminal the staff told us that there was no vacant bus before 10.45pm that day…after making some stress ( as you know I am pretty good in that) we finally had the chance to take a 6.45pm bus so we where in Guadalajara on time..it was a very nice weekend and hopefully we will do something like that again ….

2006-09-11T01:03:00.000+02:00

FINALLY ...FINALLY some news from me in Mexico...unbelieveable... the last time I wrote in here was last month somewhen...well, and as you can imagine, many new things have happened meanwhile....and actually I am too lazy to talk about all of that stuff now in detail, so you get some bullet points of my last month:
Roadtrip to Tapalpa
Weekend on Samirs Birthday in Mazamitla with 7 friends and a lot of fun while driving Quad
Barranca-Canyon Mirador with us playing theatre
Horseriding Los Colomos
heaps of Parties ( Bdayparties, Housepartys; Housewarming Parties, Free Margarita Parties, International Parties, Mexican Parties, German Club Parties, Band Practise Parties, Pre and Afterparties, Fancy Coctail Parties...)annnnnnnnd last but not least..we went to the ATB concert here in GDL yesterday. Not that I fancy his music, but well, a german DJ in Mexico for an affordable price....VAMONOS!! Actually I saw him live before, like 5 years ago in cologne, but this time it was way better, because the mexican ppl can party like hell.. unbelieveable!! The concert took place in Calle 2...its a separated street which you had to enter at a security gate and then several concerts took place in the various party areas there... besides you had a selection of restaurants, bars and coffeeshops there as well, thus you could always go out for having a drink etc and then return to your concert...friday, on steves and danis Bday, we first went to Samirs place to have a drink and later on to a Funkbar, which was pretty cool...damn...nice weekend we had.Next weekend is going to be the weekend of El Grito - then national holiday of Mexico...still dont know where we gonna celebrate it exactly: At the beach, in Guanjuato, Tapalpa or perhaps in Guadalajara....

Spontaneous Roadtrip

2006-07-29T20:00:00.000+02:00

Well, what a crazy week. First of all- Anne and Natalie are finally here and I got some German support here now ;)….so strange to have them here since I saw them the last time in Holland/ Germany.
Anyhow. Thursday after school Brownie gave me and Jen a ride, and spontaneously we decided to go down to Chapala for the day to have a look at the lakes and his house. So we first went to Jens house, picked up her camera, then went to my house, where Natalie stayed over since she arrived from Germany the day before. So we stayed in my apartment until Natalie showered, Jen finished checking her emails etc.
So we headed off south with the little white Beetle of Brownie. We were joking like: “ If something happens to us in THIS car, we definitely gonna be dead” and then suddenly, a truck on the freeway slammed on his breaks because a roadworker was trying to fix some things 2 kilometres ahead- anyhow… we where driving way to fast thus we had to dogde on the other lane-thank god nobody was driving there at that time… so actually this was already the 2nd time in one month that I´ve almost died in a car accident-I guess Brownies little piglet saved our lives. Last time in Holland when I moved out and then now..anyhow, I am still living and gonna continue telling about our trip to Chapala. When we arrived we first went to the lake and the market there- people say that Chapala has, besides one place in Kenia, the best weather in the world. They describe their weather as ´eternal spring´ there. Since Natalie just arrived from Germany the night before, she must have had a total culture shock. Micheladas, Cactusfruit, Dulce y Leche, Indio-beer, Chipotle..what is that?
Anyways, Chapala is a little city located in the south of GDL. Many retired Americans, but also other foreigners settle down there and thus live in nice, big villas in the mountains with lake-view. So do Brownies parents. I was really shocked when I saw the house. For us girls this was a palace. 3 huge bedrooms with own bathroom and huge walk in closet. Then two kitchens, from which is one not in use, a huge livingroom and a huge kitchen. Everything was decorated and arranged so beautifully with Mexican crafts, I was impressed.
Anyways, his parents gave us a very warm welcome and then invited us over for the night. After being there for 5 minutes Sissy, his mum, already showed us where we can find everything in the kitchen and showed us around the house. We were actually planning on staying there just for a couple of hours but thus, after thinking about what we should do a thousand of times, stayed overnight.
So we Germans cooked some Italian Pasta with fresh herbs, the Canadian and American practised their skills in playing the drumset and e-guitar. After dinner we sad down on the terasse. Incredible, this view onto the lake and this little island, where you can go partying at night. Also we figured out that they have an Avocado-tree in their yard. I´ve never seen an Avocado tree before in my life, didn’t even know that they grow on trees to be honest. Later on I saw a hummingbird. Wow, even though I travelled the world a lot before I never saw one of this little creatures before in nature . You can also find cockatoos, pumas, fireflys there. After seeing a couple of shooting stars at night we definitely felt like in paradise…oh wait, I forgot about our bedroom: king size bed, equipped with everything, own bathroom in Mexican style and our own balcony with view on the lake again. Sissy supplied us with everything we needed: Flatiron, PJ´s, fluid for contacts, cosmetics, makeup, etc….she is such an amazing mum!!!
As you can see on my story I totally fell in love with this place. Actually I really could imagine living there for the rest of my life, and Natalie and I were even considering for a very short time to move out of GDL to Chapala and then buy a car just because rent is so much cheaper there and its so much nicer there than it is in GDL.
Next morning we woke up at 6 am to get to GDL on time for our trip to Tequila. Coffee and tea was made for us little spoiled princesses and we even got sandwiches for on the road. Fortunately our trip back was way smoother than the trip to Chapala and we even arrived on time ( it took us like an hour) at the UAG.
There the three busses and 80 fellow students, including Anne, where already waiting to depart to Tequila. An hour later we arrived in this little tiny town in the north of GDL and went to the José Cuevas Tequileria, or however you gonna call it. Anyhow, we were guided to the process how to make Tequila and could even try some ( and the Jose Cuevas Tequila is supposed to be the best in the world). Later on we had free Margaritas in the patio of the Tequileria and then headed off downtown to have a snack and a drink and to walk around the markets, where I bought a Café Tacuba CD. After being back in GDL and checking some more house offers in a local newspaper Brownie, Natalie and I tried to find this house but the housenumber didn’t exist in this street..anyways, the numbers where ordered in a very weird order: something like 549 , 204, 230, 232…weird weird weird…but anyhow, after not finding the house we headed off to the other apartment and I am happy that also Natalie totally fell in love with it. Sooooooo we gonna move there on Wednesday.
At night I went to Natalies new place where she is going to stay for the next 4 days- together with Jen and other students from my University very closeby the UAG. Then I headed off home and then went to the Ösiflat ( apartment where the Austrians live in , for the non-german speaking readers here), to have a farewell party. Many ppl came: Besides the Ösis also Jose, Juan, Daniela, Anne, Natalie, Jen, two of their roomies ( sorry, forgot their names), Verónica and Raul (two students from the UP). After getting drunk in their apartment we went to a club called ´Dolcce´ on Patria, stayed there until 4 and then had a little afterparty at the Ösiflat with Mario, Raul, Heli and Katja, who fell asleep after 5 minutes.
Anyhow. After writing so much now I really need to start studying now, since I have 3 exams the following week. Steve is coming tonight and I gonna show her around downtown 2morrow, so this was actually supposed to be my studyday..kusje uit mooi GDL, Kat

PS: It could be that I am not online very often anymore in the following weeks since I gonna move to my new apartment on Wednesday and we don’t have Internet there

...a weekend in Nuevo Laredo

2006-07-24T22:40:00.000+02:00

...and another time in the airplane

2006-07-21T18:33:00.000+02:00

Thank god that’s its just for one hour and 5 minutes today….not like the last flight. Monterrey, or Nuevo Laredo here I come.
By accident I booked my flight a day earlier and thus the class misses my brilliant presentation about Austria today. Maybe I have to hold the presentation then on Monday.
Juan brought me to the airport this morning and because of traffic jams I was just on time for my flight. Its funny, in Mexico they open your regular luggage before you board a plane, and not after you already checked in…so this costed me some time again, since I packed Heli´s backpack so tight.
As soon as I am in MTY I need to jump into a cap and then let my taxidriver search for the Senta-busstation thus I can depart to Nuevo Laredo. Hope that this is working out. Oh, by the way- if you wonder why I always use short terms, its quite common here…gonna list some below: more will follow shortly:
GDL: Guadalajara
MTY: Monterrey DF: Mexico City ( Distrito Federal)
Pf: Por Favor

...first day in Nv Laredo
Oh geeze, its f**** hot here...i cannot imagine that. And monica said it is even kinda mild for this time of the year. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT. But well, still wondering how people can survive here. Some month ago a little tornado hit the town so whole nv Laredo didn’t have any electricity for one say, which ment: no airconditioning, no cold drinks, no fan, etc…horrible! I guess I would have died here…
Anyways, saw many ppl again yesterday: of course the whole ramos family, irma ( and petunia), Cynthia, Lesley, Ale, Bono and other famous faces I remembered from last year being here.
What did we do so far: first we picked up Cynthia at work and went to Tomatillos to have a Margarita, then we went to Irmas place to surprise her ( she was freaking out coz she didn’t know that I was coming) and after having Posole, we went to una Barra to party some. The place was packed, a lot of youngsters where there, but we still had our fun and- how every year while going out with Mona and Irma, they stole a glas for me jajjaajaja….now Natalie and I can use it for our kitchen equipment we still don’t have and need for our new apartment.
Apropos new apartment. WE are still searching for THE place to live during the next month, since the places I already saw didn’t really satisfy my needs. You might have a lot of offers in GDL, but there is always something that you don´t like about it.
Anyways, plans for the next days are: going to a miss-show, going to Laredo/ texas for shopping purpose, going to have Gringas in the Manzanas, visiting the market and having margaritas there. Unfortunately I have to go back home to GDL on Sunday, since I have classes and test again on monday

searching for THE right room is harder than expected!

2006-07-20T04:20:00.000+02:00

well, this week was kind of stressy. had my first exam at uni, searching my ass of for appartments and besides i also have a life here, which means studying, some little parties, cleaning, cooking, etc etc.
yesterday i´ve been downtown with elke and ..guess what i found.. a dutch flag, directly located in the city centre of GDL. already bought some first stuff for natalies and my future appartment ( in case we find something ;)): 6 cups, three plates, three bowles, a colander, a beautiful fruitbowl, sponges and a bucket for less than 7 euros...amazing eh? life here is definitely cheaper than in europe.
tomorrow i will fly to monterrey to spend the weekend with the ramos ramos family in nuevo laredo...yeahhhhh desert- here i come..50 degrees are quite common there at this time-awesome!
next week i´ll go to tequila with school and anne and natalie gonna join in. its crazy, they are all coming already- cannot believe that. those 3 weeks ( or two until now) flew by so quick!

here some more observations i did during the last days:

the mexican way of cleaning dishes is kinda weird: mixing some powder-dish liquid ( geeze what a word) with water in a little container, dip the sponge in there and cleaning the dishes under running water
americans don´t use the phrase ´to tidy´...they found this expression rather cute
riding in an old beatle is rather an adventure than an experience ( damn, there doesn´t exist an english word for ´Fahrgefühl´
in mexico less people than i thought speak english as a 2nd language ( well, mentioned that earlier but while searching for rooms i figured that out even more)
mexican wireless just sucks, especially at school, where you can just access to the school-w-lan on special tables in the library...at night you even have to walk around in the building to find access points
walmart sells german products such as ´russisch brot´, kinderchocolate, kühne-mostard beside others
guadalajara is the shoe paradise...you can geat great shoes here for around 17 euros...and the downtown area even has more shoestores than breda!!! and we even got a mall just filled with shoestores
gdl is not as dangerous at night as miguel said before
gdl is also the mexican capital of catholicism..and you can really see that if you enter churches...people are praying all day round
gdl is also the mexican capital of beautiqueens...elke said so. so i believe her ;)
heli is a ´bettmatraze´
people which are lying around like dead in downtown areas in the middle of the day actually are not dead- they just take a nap

well. all important things were said... you gonna hear from me as soon as i return to gdl!

2nd weekend aquí

2006-07-17T05:06:00.000+02:00

...well, since the Ösis went to Vallarta ( could have gone with them but they left too early and I still had classes that day) I also made some trips here and kept myself busy. On saturday I went to Amacueca and Sayula, some little cities two hours away from Guadalajara. Our universities has its own busses, so we just paied around 2.50 Euro for the whole trip!! We saw REAL mexican live there. In Sayula we even saw a ´Sweet 15´, a celebration for girls which turn 15 and a wedding as well. Mariachis played in the church, it was sooo nice! At night I went downtown with Juan and he showed me around. Today I went to see the flat Natalie and I maybe are moving to next month, took a biiiiiiiiiig nap afterwards and then went to a touristical Exibition with Juan downtown...maybe I am flying to Laredo next weekend, to see my Schatzis again..damn, that would be soo soo cool.

No mames! Esta lloviendo un chingo.Chale!

2006-07-15T01:55:00.000+02:00

... damn..just went to the Walmart and out of a sudden it started raining soo soo badly... worse than I experienced the rain the week before. In the Walmart you couldn´t understand a word other people where saying and it was even raining into the building. On my way home my Jeans totally got soaked and on the streets it seemed like the streets are a river. Even a tree crashed down in front of my appartment.
Anyways, Natalie and I maybe found an appartment for the two of us, very close to my school, and fully equipped. Tomorrow I will go to see how it looks like from the outside and afterwards will phone the landlord, so maybe I gonna have a new address from August on.
Here some other facts you might wanna know...since I´ve been to Mexico before I got kinda a certain picture about everything I now want to correct some facts:

Mexico is pinche hot
well, it is hot in some places, like the north or at the coasts, but here in GDL the weather is quite comfortable, its very chilly in the mornings and it gets hot in the afternoons, but definitely not as hot as I experienced last year in Laredo. There is a reason why people say the weather here is the best in the world
Mexico is dangerous
expecially as a Rubia you should take care what you do when and where, but GDL definitely is a save place...of course men are staring at you, starting to chat with you etc, but thats normal for this country. In general you can also jump into a taxi without being rubbed and there are normally no gunfights going on on the streets, like in Laredo. The most dangerous thing I experienced until now is driving in a bus...
In Mexico you cannot go out at night alone
I still recomment not doing so, but if you walk on busy streets, nothing should happen to you

just a random day

2006-07-14T20:54:00.000+02:00

Thats how a day for me looks like at the moment:

6.30 waking up, fighting with Tim who can use the bathroom first
7.45 running to the busstation to catch my bus to school
8.15 arriving on Campus and chatting with my classmates
8.30 classes start ( grammar and conversation)
12.10 classes stop
12.30 taking the bus back home which is often a huge adventure.. damn where did the drivers learn to ride a bus??

then I have the afternoon free to spend with whatever I like...chatting, writing emails, cooking, (grocery)shopping, homework, having a drink somewhere, visiting places, .... in the evenings I am at the Austrian place most of the time or go out with them. Yesterday we´ve had a discussion about who was born when and by accident we found out that it was Elkes birthday ( and she didn´t tell us!!!) so Mario, Kristina, Heli and I went to the Walmarkt, bought champain, a cake, funny heads and candles and the party could begin. As soon as I have Marios pics I will upload some pics from that funny party...
Oh, another thing...all of you who went to spain on vacation once know that there are always little planes flying around at the beach which make advertisement for parties, events etc..here in Mexico they do the same kinda stuff, except that ppl scream out of the planes with a speaker ...today they promoted some special event from a mall here in GDL.

First day at the UAG

2006-07-10T22:36:00.000+02:00

Well...had my first day at the Autonoma today. At 8am I had to register at the International Office ( where a letter of the NHTV was lying on the desk-how funny) then I had to take my test and already half an hour later I was sitting in my first spanish class. Actually I scored better than I thought I would so I don´t have to take the Dummy-Spanish level now. Anyways..in my class 90% of the ppl are Americans...seems to be that I am the only european person taking spanish classes at the UAG. Some people of my class are REALLY weird, others are very very nice like Melody, Patrice, Rachel or Brownie, also americans. With Patrice and Rachel I just went for a beer and some Tacos, since we figured out that we are living in the same area.
Tonight I gonna have a look at Juans apartment and maybe gonna pop by the Austrian place to see how their first day at University was...Viva Mexico Cabrones..kusje, Kat

And Italy is world Champion

2006-07-10T06:31:00.000+02:00

...don´t feel like writing alot yet...gonna do it tomorrow after my first classes. Besos, Kat

First pictures of my new home

2006-07-08T17:56:00.000+02:00

...thus you get an impression how I live here now.. just came back from Walmart where I did big shopping. So cool that everythings so soo close from my home. I guess I´ll improve my spanish here pretty pretty soon since even young people tend not to speak any English at all.. guys..enjoy the germany -match today. kusjes, Kat

2006-07-07T15:56:00.000+02:00

Adios Alemania…

Well, right now i am sitting in my airplane to Mexico City. My mum and dad brought me to the trainstation in cologne to say farewell to me…gosh, how scared my mum is… she couldn’t stop crying. She is just too afraid that something will happen to me in Mexico ( after I told her last year about my experiences there). ..anyways..in Frankfurt I met Annika and Steffi to have a cup of coffee with them …time was rough. I arrived there at 1 pm and my flight departed at 2…thus we had a fast chat, went to the gate together, I rushed through the check in, pass control etc and finally was at the boarding gate 10 minutes before the machine departed….i made it hahaha…actually was never so relaxed whilest going abroad for a longer time…maybe because this time I don’t know anything, don’t know what expects me, who I gonna live with, where I gonna live, how the surrounding looks like…
Yesterday night I talked to tampi, a friend from monterrey. Monica, irma, him and another friend are planning a roadtrip for the 19th and he said that the might come to pay me a visit in Guadalajara…geeze, that would be sooo great if they would pop in to see me…. Haven’t seen most of them for more than a year now….
Hahaha, just phoned laura from the airplane short time that we departed… she was soo scared coz, of course, phoning on an airplane is not allowed.. but still, its allowed if you didn’t depart yet… annika handed me over their present….soooo soo cute: Sew, Kikker, Laura, Bibi, Antje,Darlene, Bitch , Nicole and Annika formed the word ´Doei´with their bodys.( meaning bye in dutch), printed it out and framed it..thanks again guys, i love you!!! kusje from the air, kathrin

Mission almost accomplished..1 year Breda!

2006-06-28T12:05:00.000+02:00

Claudia was cheating all the time.. yes.. Imperfectum suxx...haha

Anyway, just one week to go and then I´m in MÉXICOOOOOOOOOOO!! Aahhh, still cannot believe that..finally back there after one year. Irma is maybe coming next month to visit me down there, and I might gonna see Nani, who is going on vacation to a place closeby GDL!!

OHNE HOLLAND FAHRN WIR NACH BERLIN!!

2006-06-26T11:18:00.000+02:00

Damn, what a match yesterday... in Dutch television they were even talking about the Moulin Rouge... 4 red cards and 20 yellow cards, and definitely the most agressive match in the whole cup...I was really waiting for the moment that players would have started beating each other... well.. anyways..since Germans here always had to listen to stupid comments from the Dutchies, the time for a revenge is now there...SCHADE HOLLAND ALLES IST VORBEI!!
Here a last impression of a Happy Dutchie, a special species on earth... you recognise them, because they dress up in the worst colour that was EVER invented on earth..no, pink is nice, brown as well... ORANGE, or lets say ORANJE....

Next Friday: Ger- Arg... ppl say that this is the anticipated final of the cup and even dutch reporters say that the wordchampion will result out of this match...maybe I go back home for the weekend, thus I can watch the match in cologne...actually I don´t have high hopes in Germany beating those `Mersas´..but, well see...

´54, ´74, ´90 ....2006?

2006-06-15T23:28:00.000+02:00

...well, nobody knows, but at least we were the first team which qualified for the next round yeah...yesterday a group of our german comunity here in breda headed off downtown to watch the games..suddenly the Hart of Breda was packed...Schwarz/Rot/Gold everywhere..we really had great fun watching the match and it was quite thrilling..( Isis and I had some ´multiple orgasms´frequently ;) ..)
after the match we went to the walkabout to party more ... out of some reason we got free drinks after a time---how nice the dutchies finally are to us germans ..Great match-great party!

WM in Germany!!!..y otras cosas

2006-06-11T22:49:00.000+02:00

Geeze, it´s been ages since I wrote in here the last time- but somehow so many things keep me busy at the moment thus I don´t really have time to write something down here. I´ve been home in Germany quite a couple of times the last weeks, just to enjoy the last weeks that I gonna be in Europe with my family and friends from here. Also I need to get my interior moved back home, since Jessy is moving in and I guess she also wants to have some space for her stuff ( did I mention before that I live in a tiny tiny room?).

Nyways, there are so soo many news from Breda. First of all: The whole town is orange...horrible. I really like holland but in my eyes thats definitely too much. Second, Sanne and Jose, two of my roomies are moving out. So after coming back from Mexico maybe none of my old roomies will still be there :(. 3rd there were way too many parties going on the last days...parties at Ninis or Lauras place, of course in town or the Dance Festival, a huge event on the Chassé-Plein. DJ´s like Armin van Buuren took care that the crowd enjoyed the day and a quite handsome entertainer took care that also the girls enjoyed the festival..damn, he was soo gorgeous ( even though he definitely is NOT my type)

However, Claudia told me before the festival started that her bike was stolen the night before. Everyone who knows Claudia also knows her Red-Yellow-not-at-all-eye-catching-MC-Donalds-bike which actually looks soo ugly that noone would actually even think of stealing this thing ;). Anyways, somebody stupid stole it anyways ( in front of her door!!).
When I left that Festival and unlocked my fiets I suddenly saw Claudias bike next to mine being locked with several other bikes. So I informed her, and whilest she was on her way I informed some policemen, who actually couldn´t help me since they dont have any instruments for breaking this kinda locks. So we waited and waited for the firemen to arrive, since the police phoned them coz they knew that hey have appropiate instruments and in the end ( there is always a happy end eh) some cityworkers broke the lock. Claudia was more than happy to have her Red-Yellow-not-at-all-eye-catching-MC-Donalds-bike back and the policemen where happy to take to quite nice bikes along to their office. I really don´t wanna know what happened to the guys when they came back to their bikes and none of them where standing there anymore.

HOOOOOWEVER...as you can see my blogtitle is about the worldcup (WM or WK, however you want to call it). I decided on going back to Germany for the weekend also because FINALLY the worldcup started and I wanted to get into the mood and experience it where it happens- in Deutschland.
It´s crazy, it really seems like Germans are finally getting to the point that they developed a kind of pride for their country. You can finally buy Germany stuff everywhere- in the past it wasn´t even easy to get a German flag somewhere. Some VERY pride ppl are even driving around with tiny little flags hanging on their cars ( looks horrible),but well, thats their business.
So anyways, been in Cologne the last two days, yesterday with Steffi, Birgit and my friend Tatjana from the Black Forrest reagion. Haven´t seen her for ages, so it was even more surprising that she popped in for a night.
Anyways, back to the Worldcup. Cologne is packed by foodball fans- everywhere they arranged big stages where you can watch the games on big screens and also bands are performing on there. I never saw sooo many brazilian and portugese ppl on one spot the last days...it seems that they took over cologne. Also there are a bunch of Americans, Mexicans, English, Argentinan and of course German fans here. I wish I could also follow a match in a stadium like my sis and my father are going to do next week. Unfortunately I wasn´t in the lucky bunch who gained some tickets....life´s hard. jeejeje..
However, wrote enough for today. Enjoy the pics... next week we gonna rock in Breda guys...woensdag gaat een grote feestje, omdat Duitsland speelt...°Vamos, vamos, Alemania, vamos vamos a ganar- que esta barra quilombera no te deja no te deja de alentar° ..OLE!

We had an awesome trip to Poland as well as a great afterparty yesterday in the sam sam.. i just gonna upload some nice pics... don´t feel like writing much..if you wanna see some more pics, go to the pics-homepage!!

Polska!

2006-05-04T19:02:00.000+02:00

To prepare you guys in advance for our fieldtrip to Poland next week and to get rid of all negative prejudices people might have ( to give an example of this, some german sayings: " Heut dein Auto gestolen, morgen schon in Polen" or " Was heisst BWM auf Polnish? Bald Mein Wagen"...however..lets get back to the point:

Some nice facts:

In 1771 the kingdom of Poland was larger than any other European country except Russia and had a bigger population than any other European country except France.
Polish people are famous for being very proud of their country, but also because of their great humor
Frederic Chopin, the famous artist, was polish and not french, as many people would think
Poland might be a bigger country than Germany, but just has 38 Mio inhabitants
In the 18th century Poland didn´t exist anymore for a periodof 100 years, because Russia, Austria and Prussia took over that land
more than 90 percent of the Polish population are roman catholic
our last pope John Paul II was born in Krakow

Some useful phrases for our trip:

Hello: DZIENDOBRY or CZESC
I am hungry: JESTEM GLODNA/Y
Whats the time?: KTÓRA GODZINA?
Sorry: PRZEPRASZAM
yes: TAK
car: SAMOCHÓD
holiday: Wakacje ( geeze, thats similar to dutch *gg*)

and here some words we definitely gonna need at our trip:

beer: PIWNY/ PIWOWARSKI
wine: WINO
alcohol: ALCOHOL ( until now its not that hard eh?)
hotel-where?: HOTEL-GDZIE?
sick: CHORY
sleep:SPAC
headache: BÓL GLOWY
help: POMOC
english: ANGLIK/ ANGIELSKI
cigarettes: PAPIEROS

..and last but not least ( since I want to celebrate my Bday there):
Happy birthday Kathrin: WSZYSTKIEGO NAJLEPSZEGO Z OKAZJI URODZIN KATHRIN ( the person who can say this sentence fluently at my Bday Party gets a free bottle of wine!! Seweryn is going to be the one-and-only-judge!!)

Crazy weeks...

2006-05-01T12:13:00.000+02:00

...I guess I never travelled that much around Europe in such a short time. France-Belgium-Holland-Germany. Monica and Ali were here and we really had a good time: Shopping in Brussels, a tour on the Canals in Brugges, ´Chilling´ in Disneyworld-Breda, Seeed Concert in A´dam, meeting Ulli in Aachen, the Dungeon in Linz, making a night-sightseeingtour around Bonn and Alfter, running around Cologne drunk...GIRLS, it was great to have you here!!
Anyways, somehow I recognized that I passed my Marketing Specials Exam which I thought I failed before..weird...but I am the last who is complaining about that :D. However, Block C was pretty successful for me. Up to know I passed everything but the Annual Report, but I knew that before since our group forgot to put EVERYTHING important in there. Well, thats life.
Now I am in Germany and hence many things need to be organised. In two month I´ll already be in Guadalajara and still I didnt book a flight, insureance, applied at the UAG and for a Visa, or found a room. Good that I have holidays right now, thus everything important needs to be done NOW
BTW: Today is the first of may, which is a public holiday in Germany. People are celebrating a night before-every village has its own fest. Saw many old schoolmates and friends I haven´t seen for ages yesterday- also people I honestly never wanted to see again hahaa. In the night of the 1rst of may guys are putting a with colourful ribbons decorated birch tree in front of the house of their beloved ones. If there is some girl they really dislike she is getting a tan tree, decorated with toiletpaper-often the guys put worms on it and even pee on it -disgusting. Anyways, enough from German Culture and Society lessons for today ;).

One Night in Paris

2006-04-22T11:01:00.000+02:00

...with approx 1 1/2 hours of sleep..geeze, what a night. Forget your kinky thoughts, I am talking about the capital of france :p. Went there to see two of my friends I met in Canada - Sophie and Monica ( who didnt know that I was coming) and we really had a great time. Had some alsacian dinner together with Mona, Stefanié and Alexandre, afterwards some rest to get prepared for the party. At 1 we went to St Denis to party a little, but most of the bars and clubs were closed. Since my hotel was shot down at night and the bars were closing at aroudn 4 we decided on doing some siteseeing with Alex, the only parisian in the group.
OH...guys, if you are planning in going to Paris NEVER; really NEVER EVER book a room at the Hotel Bervic in Montmatre...VERY unfriendly and agressive service, you had to share one shower with 6 floors and the hotel was inhabited by african families without a propper home...

To conclude my trip some questions are still popping up into my mind, maybe some frenchman reading this can answer them:

1. Why are there more opportunities to party in Breda during the week than in Paris
2. How come they switch of the lights of Tour Eiffel during the night??
3. Why are drinks ( a coke 5 euros!!) in Paris so expensive?

Pasen in de beurt!!!

2006-04-17T20:14:00.000+02:00

Happy Easter to everyone!
Unbelieveable but true, but I am one of the few students who stayed in Breda and honestly, I really enjoyed my time here. We had a huge dinner last night and really had a gezellig time at Lauras place- Dj-die-Dercks former room became a beautifully decorated livingroom and thus 5 poor homeless (ex)students gathered around there. He was also present, as you can see on the picture- at least a part of him!

Before I went downtown with Antonia..talking about the good old
Breda times with a cup of coffee..unbelieveable how fast the time went by: painting Klaas car with lipstick, summer Festival in the Valkenberg park, HBO-festival, first parties in Breda, introduction, first project etc...seems like it was yesterday.
2morrow I´m off to Paris-meeting my Canadafriends, and whilest being there I gonna get prepared for my oral exam..guess that´s not going to be too difficult...

Fuschi´s still alive!!! But her bike is dead!!!

2006-04-15T17:34:00.000+02:00

Many weeks have gone by since I wrote my last article. Well, at last I was pretty busy, but also I didnt have internet. Well, now I found out that someone in my neighbourhood has Wireless Lan and it is just too nice that they did not protect it thus I can use it as well.
...anyways..I went to a hard time last week: It died...my charming little fiets I bough from Marta, a Spanish Exchange Student just a couple of month ago. Now it is standing in front of my house- I hope that it gets stolen by someone- but I guess nobody wants to have it. The guy at the fietsshop told me that there is no way to repair it. If someone out there has any skills in repairing bikes and feels like legally steeling one ( gives you some practise for steeling one illegally the next time) just pop by the Nieuwe Bogerd. Make sure that you come at night, because professional fiets-thiefs do that at night too.

However, its more or less holidays now, I wrote all my exams and excluding the dutch exam ( which doesnt anyway count) I have a good feeling for all exams. Mexico-prerarations are going well. In the next weeks I´ll be travelling europe alot: The Poland fieldtrip is getting closer, next tuesday I go to visit friends in Paris, then I gonna travel around with friends, hence Mona , a friend from Mexico I met in Canada, is visiting me.

Schatzi, I am sooooo exited!!! Cannot wait to see ya in already a week!!! Un besooooooooooooooote para ti. Te quiero muuuuucho!!! En el semana siguente vamos a pistear jajjajaja. x

When I went to the airport today to get Nini I met some dutch folks which asked me for the entrance of the terminal. Due to the fact that their German was pretty crappy I started talking Dutch to them..and a miracle happened!!! I COULD DO IT.....lol. Maar toch find ik deze taal niet leuk te spreken ......misschien tot het nieuwe jaar. Or like they say in Quebec: A la prochaine! ( ..and this time it really makes sence hahaha)

....a review of 2005

2005-12-29T22:35:00.000+01:00

After Nora and Hans I also review my year 2005 a little:

It started pretty adventurous: I organized a travel to NYC with some friends I met in Canada and some weeks later we already sat in the bus crossing the border to this mysterious country I actually never wanted to visit. Thus it happened that we celebrated New Years Eve on Time Square in New York. We had a blast there, it was a once in a liftetime experience, even though it sounds like a torture: 7 hours without moving from our spot and WITHOUT any kind of alcohol, celebrating this special event with 1 Mio. other people at the same place! Anyway, on our way back to Ottawa we had an accient with our bus caused by black ice. Fortunately nothing happened to us and after everybody was checked in the ambulance we could continue our journey.

The following month I stayed in Canada and did some bigger and smaller Roadtrips and travels in Ontario and Quebec. It was a brilliant time full of work and heaps of parties (...and often with no time to sleep inbetween ;) ). Before saying farewell for good I did a last big trip to Texas and México to visit one of my mexican friends named Mónica there last june (the girl with the red shirt). Ali, the one and only Ösi in da world, accomanied me. Before our flight left to San Antonio ( which departed at noon) we already got drunk at the airport...with a whole bottle of Martini!!! ( you should know that drinking in the public is prohibited in Canada!!!)..anyway, it was great fun as well as the following three weeks in México, in which we stayed with Mónas family and travelled around the eastern part together with her friends Tampi and Irma.

A month later I unfortunately had to leave Canada coz new plans in Europe were made: studying at the NHTV in Breda ( which isn´t actually that bad as it just sounded like)! Two days after I arrived in Germany I already found my room in Breda and moved there a couple of weeks later. Even though my start there wasn´t the best I had a wonderful time here until now.

This year was definitely one of the bests I ever had. I met wonderful people: To many of them I already had to say farewell which wasn´t very easy at all...well, but thats life! Guys I love ya, I really appreshiate that I met you and hope to see ya again pretty soon ( for my Canada-Crew: Paris, eh?)!!

Plans and wishes for the following year? Being accepted for an exchange semester, finding a job in the Netherlands, travelling around the world with Lisa and Laura, travelling Europe with Móna who is coming to visit me in April!

Einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr 2006! Kat x

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snoooooooow

2005-12-27T21:42:00.000+01:00

I´ve been to the Phantasialand yesterday with Steffi, Sabine and Birgit, which is a big themepark just around the corner...had alot of fun, it was just a little cold, but that was obvious coz we are having alot of snow here at the moment. Different from the Efteling Park is that at the Phantasialand still all rollercoasters are running, exept the water-attractions. Additional you could go iceskating, toboganning and they even had Glühwein and Reibekuchen-stands. Felt like being at a German Weihnachtsmarkt, which i unfortunately couldn´t visit in the last two years.

PS: Happy late B-day Laura! ;)

Viva el mundo!!!

2005-12-25T02:19:00.000+01:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Just found this on the internet coz I was a little bored....BTW: The white spots are all the countries I still want to visit ;)

create your own visited country map

And the party NEVER ends!!!!

2005-12-24T01:59:00.000+01:00

Due to the fact that everyone is back home we decided to go to a big Disco tonight to celebrate this. Thus I picked up the boys one hour after arriving from Breda and then went straight to the Steffies, a kind of ´Assi´-Disco for all the 16 year old bratz in and around Cologne, which is also famous for parties called: " Unfaithful-Party" or even better "Fessel mich (bond me)-Parties". The one and only DJ Rudi (!!!..which you can see above) played the ´best´ current chartmusic, Schlager and all the other crap..but still: We had fun and made a party on our own ;).
On the way back it was obvious to make the obligatory McDo-Verteilerkreis-Stop. With full Kölsch-stomaches Lukas and Markus invented the one and only Mc Donalds-Flag study on the highway: Holding the flags out of the window and see at which speed they demolish. Interesting with what guys come up when they are totally drunk: The result of their research was that the flags already demolish at a speed of 70 km/h. Useful eh?
Anyway, the night was a great blast: Thanks to Conny, Sandra, Sandra, Kathrin, Melli, Katrin, Naddel, Andrea, Dominic, Markus, Lukas, Daniel, Verena and the rest of the party-crew!!!

...just a few minutes

2005-12-23T16:05:00.000+01:00

...and Nini and I are heading off to Germany!! Geeze, Breda is dead, REALLY dead. Tonight then big party with a bunch of friends in Siegburg. Hope I gonna manage this all, coz inbetween I need to bring Nini to the airport and there is also a family waiting at home for me.
Breda, I will miss you, but a little change is always good, and I definitely need it at the moment. See you all next year, Merry Christmas!!!

Another form of Winterdepression!!

2005-12-19T10:15:00.000+01:00

listening to St Germain -tissues en masse - a sleepless night - the smell of vanilla jossticks - candlelight - many mugs of chamomile tea -reading a Coehlo book.... Christmas Atmosphere?

It is funny to lie in your bed and at the same time listen to the today lecture haha...thanks to the modern techniques of Skype!

2005-12-18T20:59:00.002+01:00

This was the most relaxing weekend since weeks! But it was really necessary after two weeks of non-stop-partying every day! Friday we went to the movies to watch ´In Her Shoes´and yesterday we had a real PJ Party @ Isis and Susis place.
Resume of that evening:

an Uschi Club was founded
Dr. Prof. Med. L. Drauschke has another patient with a pretty hard form of Winterdepression: Mrs. I. Struiksma
the ´0´was pretty annoying and it couldn´t even be erazed with photoshop
Isis and Susi neglet their pets, two cuute kittens, even though they cry like hell to get ´attention´ lol!!!
Super de Boer wine is better than the crappy one from Albert Heijn
the living community in the movie: L´auberge espagnole is identical with Isis and Susis house: the internationality ( dutch/ kiwi/ german people under one roof), the couple, the visit of family members, the chaos, the strict division in the fridge, etc etc....
.....

...counting the days

2005-12-17T09:55:00.000+01:00

José scooted off to Groningen with my dirty laundry yesterday, Bianca jumped in a train back to Germany this morning, Hottie takes a short vacation at home in the Carribean, others are packing their stuff to leave Breda for good next week and finally all Germans are storming the border in the next days...slowly it´s getting empty in this little studentstown!!!

The Morning after

2005-12-13T13:14:00.000+01:00

" Good Morning"!
...thats what Ellen, our Coach, said to us this morning at 9.30. Bart directly responded: " Morning is enough".... and he was sooo damn right. Five little students from PI9 sat on their chairs, with red eyes and big wrinkles looking like they are off and about to jump into their bed again. We set ourselves the goal not to party too much anymore, but somehow this was not working out: Since last week there were parties EVERY night, so last night as well. How is that going to end? Are we ending as alcoholics and not as academics in a few years?
Iris organized a party in the Walkabout with her Queeniezz-Girls. Good thing about it: Happy Hour until 11pm. Unfortunately the party crew had a little delay ( we were supposed to be there at 10.30 but then we had to pick up DJ-Die-Derck before coz his Oranje-Fiets was still at Stevjes place) thus we had to drink veeery fast before the Happy Hour was over. Marije and I, who already drank in advance, boozed one wine after another in the shortest time (btw: we arrived at 10.50pm!!!) and thus were plastered at 11pm Thats what I call: Think economical!!!...
Anyways, after coming home in safety José scared the hell out of me thuss I screamed through the whole house. Sorry again Sannilein that i woke you up that night.

PS: You can find the pictures again under ´Breda Partypics´

CaSeMa WAAAAAAS? = Idiotenverein

2005-12-12T13:41:00.000+01:00

NO, this blog isnt dead, but i am damn sure soon somebody from our Internet-Provider Casema is. It cannot be true that the internet is again not working at home, now for almost 5 days…somehow we are not the only ones who have problems with them…

AAAAAANYWAYS This weekend was again a great one even though I cannot wait going back home to Germany in a couple of weeks. Friday Seweryn and his housemates organised a huuuuuuuge party in their three houses, with Chill-Out Area, Electronical Area and a Mainstream room. Even though they had little problems with the soundsystem it was a great event. Already in january the next party at his place is announced!! Soooooooo: Let the beat go on ;)....You gonna find Lauras and my fotos of that party under ´Breda - Partypics´!!! Enjoy!

Saturday Nini and Antonia had their Bdayparty. It ended up with Nini and me having both Jello in our faces, hair and on our cloth…thnx to the boys that they kept this funny moment on their cameras :p…..

...and again a boring day at school!

2005-12-07T12:39:00.000+01:00

Nothing much to say about today. Tonight Sinta is coming again. I gonna celebrate it with my huisgenotjes. By the way: I am still waiting for the partypictures of Laura and Nora! C´mon girls...hurry up!

...dankje Sintaklaasje!

2005-12-06T02:41:00.000+01:00

Yeah...it was a great party again...men...had alot of fun! First went to Marijes place: Sintaklaasparty with my dear classmates: Cooking 2gether ( tnx to our chefs Marcella and Nicole) and afterwards unwrapping the presents and reading out the poems and besides drinking an originally german Glühwein....the best surprise definitely came from Steve: a ´Kijken´for our kijken...she so much liked it that she even tried it on...looks fancy eh? And the best present was Lauras: A Inge Barkmeijer-Dart..hahah we all laughed our asses off when we saw that!!
PS: ( just dutch people should read this) I am very sorry that I also burned CHRISTMAS songs on the Sintaklaas-CD. I have a very bad conscience now :p!

...and guess what? My sweetest Hottie gave me joss sticks. I really like my present, too bad that I just bought some yesterday hahahahah. Afterwards we went to Sam Sam...the pictures of Laura and Nora will follow. After we were kicked out at 2am I had a chat with the Black Pete...and guess what? He spoke spanish fluently!!! It is really true that Sinta is from Spain..too bad that they did not take me with them to Spain...I soooo much need a holiday;)!...maybe next year

Sintaklaas is in da Hood!

2005-12-05T03:24:00.000+01:00

First of all: From now on I gonna write my blog in English, coz I already had first complaints from people who do not understand any German....

Today Sinterklaas and his little black friend are coming to tread the people in Holland with goodies. ( Why is he heck are they ALWAYS coming to Germany later on...thats sooo mean!!!) He has a VEEEEEEEERY cool Sportsboat. I wish I could have such a thingy....Sinter, a hot and passionate spaniard, also comes to me tonight. He is going to give me a ´surprise´, which is a funny wrapped present which kinda corresponds with the person which will receive it as well as a stupid poem.... Mama told me that he just does that for dutch people, because they tolerate everything ( drugs, Germans, gay-marriages) Thus he came up with this funny idea. And Papa said that Sinta takes me with him to Spain if I would have been naughty during the last month...eh geeze!!! Thats soooo neat: A free ride with a gorgeous spaniard in a VEEEEEEEERY cool sportsboat........anyways, to be serious again: this important event is going to be celebrated tonight at Marijes place at 7 pm and so far as I heard afterwards in Sam Sam.

I also learned some nice Sintaklaas Carols in my Dutch class. Our teacher Harm sang them soooo nicely together with us, thus I had to publish my favourite one:

Sinterklaasje bonne, bonne, bonne,
gooi wat in mijn lege, lege tonne.
gooi wat in de huizen,
we zullen grabbelen als muizen.

Winterdepression...

2005-12-04T23:13:00.000+01:00

...das wohl häufig verwendedste Wort an diesem Wochenende...dicht gefolgt von ´Vogelgrippe´ und dem absoluten Klassiker´dat klopt´, die aber mittlerweile schon im Stamwortschatz jedes eingefleischten NHTVler aufgenommen wurden
...wie dem auch sei...ja in dieser so genannten Depression befinde ich mich momentan, wie meine persönliche Analytikerin Dr. Prof. Med. L. Drauschke an mir diagnostiziert hat. Was man dagegen machen kann? Keinen Tau! Aber soviel steht fest: So kanns net weitergehen... heute habe ich schon wieder nichts...NICHTS für die Uni getan, obwohl ich mir soviel vorgenommen habe..
