Yep, that's right. The IUSP students took over the Mexicali bar in downtown Marburg Thursday night. And it was EPIC! Taylor started off the night with Sweet Caroline, which could not have been more perfect. Everyone got right into the song and started singing along. Maria and I had agreed on singing Piano Man by Billy Joel when we were on the bus. We got a little crazy picking out songs (Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Sonny and Cher, Billy Joel, Madonna, Queen.. etc.) and it was a blast.
Examples of the Song List:
- Sweet Caroline - sung by our own Taylor
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Piano Man - sung by Chelsea and Nathan!
- American Pie - kind of the theme song for the IUSP gang
- La Bamba - sung by two Latin American guys. It was awesome :D
- I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys - sung by Maria, Olivia, Michael, Mike and me
The next day was a little rough because we didn't get back to the dorm until around 1 am but it was definitely worth it. Stories will be told about that night for many years to come.
Köln...
Now on to Köln! We had to catch a 5 am bus from the dorm so we could get to the train station to catch a 6:15 am train... :S I do not function well in the morning but with help from Fritz and Raphael we got tickets and hopped on a train. On the train to Köln we had a fantastic talk about the American political system, which was really interesting to hear from an American student's perspective and a German perspective. We had to change a few times but we made it to Köln by 9:30.
Plenty of time to wander around, climb the bell town (Quasimodo was proud), visit the Schokolade Museum (Chocolate Museum), sample a brew house's specialty and get ice cream.
And I may or may not have bought a new purse... But I need it for school!
The chocolate museum made everyone incredibly happy. There were free samples everywhere and who could not be happy after Lindt free samples? Yes mum, dad and Jenn, I did get you gifties :D.
