Introducing: The funniest and most exciting blog in the world - Crossroads (by my flat mate Simon :) )

This time I would like to call attention to my flatmates' blog "Crossroads", Simon had the absolutely fantastic idea to just give his everyday life up and travel the world for a couple of months (6-8). But obviously it would be a bit boring to travel alone so he is taking Bernd, the freaking bread with him. Bernd what? Well, Bernd is a German television mascot, appearing every night on Germanys most famous kids channel on TV. The thing with Bernd is, he is a very very depressed bread as his only purpose on TV is to make the kids tired and to make them willingly going to bed - as a result of his monotone voice and boring stories.... pretty bad eh? So since he is always depressed, Simon is now trying to make Bernd feel a little bit better.... and takes him from country to country to show him the beauty of the world outside the television box :-) The kids channel is based in Erfurt and we even got a Bernd Bread statue here, so he is leaving right from home...

Seriously folks..

Moin Moin...!!

Over the past view months i have developed a very very serious crush on Germanys most beautiful city - Hamburg..!! And for job and private reasons i have to go there quite often at the moment - not like i would complain. Everytime i drive into Hamburg over it's famous bridges (did you know it is the city with the most bridges in Europe) i always get goosebumps... !! And whenever i leave, i have tears in my eyes. Yes, it is the big love i suppose. In fact, i just came back from another busy weekend in "HH" (which is the short version for Hamburg), this time there was really busy as the yearly harbour birthday with over 1 million visitors was taking place at the time. What an experience!! I cannot describe that feeling in words, the one you get when a HUGE cruise ship - this time the MS EUROPA 2 - is passing you by blowing "happy birthday" with its horns, so loud that you think the earth is shaking.... At the moment my phone display is not really working and almost always really dark so i am not taking many pictures before i get a new one and the quality is not good but better than nothing... Oh...and...yes, sorry... i must admit... i couldn't resist joining the Beatles Tour through St. Pauli having a Mc Cartney double on my side.... Hamburg, in fact the red light district around famous REEPERBAHN, is where the career of the fab four began.

How should I say it...?

Is this becoming a Beatles blog..!??

... scrolling down on this page one could definately think so. And it is quite safe to say there will be more Beatles posts but my life is not totally ruled by them (yet - haha). I spend my last weekend visiting my friend Sindy. I met on the tour and i think it didn't take more than one evening for us to become friends. We both miss the tour and the music so decided we would have a weekend full of Beatles jam sessions in her room. Also, we took a trip to the absolutely wonderful Beatles Museum - the only one in Germany. There was a room which had this video game thing "Beatles Rock Band" and uhm...we got in...and never left it again. Well, we did, but not before about 60 or 90 minutes had passed haha. Got totally addicted to the game, oh the poor museum staff. Here ya go..probably getting a ticket to HIDE now...

Belgium (and a bit of France too)

I spend the Easter weekend with my friends Tanja, Simon, Briseida and Neil in Belgium. The idea was to meet in December but due to an accident that Briseida had , we had to postpone it. As time passed by, more and more friends said they are gonna join so we ended up as a group of 5, which was amazing (except for the fact we had a tiny Audi A1 as rental car lol). We had so much fun, been out for drinks, we have been at the sea side, took a boat trip through Bruges and even went to Lille in France for a day, just for the hell of it to be honest. We had jam sessions in the hotel, having two musicians with us...ate loads and loads and loads... so that i am actually somewhat grateful for the flu i have at the moment because i lost all that weight already. Briseida was already visiting me in Germany two years ago and we decided that next time we should all meet in Mexico, that's the plan then. Instead of posting pictures I'd rather go for just a video this time. x, Mary

Even the best things must come to an end...

...two months of touring with The Beatles band ... it's over now. I have been to the last gig on thursday and yes, i could not hold back the tears when saying goodbye. It started with a misunderstanding, evolved to promotion, to friendship, to great times shared together with some amazing, fascinating people. My life was crazy... i have never had that little amount of sleep. I have been all over Germany within just two months. Bavaria, Osnabrueck, Saxony and Lower Saxony..and many other places...every weekend. Thousands of miles driven, thousands of laughs and happy moments shared, many Jack Daniels and Jim Beam with Coke, Ups and downs but mainly Ups.. loads of songs sang, CDs i've sold, videos and picturse i took but all in all... the best time of my life. And after living in Ireland, i didn't think it could get any better. Life proved me wrong. But as all good things must come to and end, this was no exception. I hope to be joining the next tour in January 2014 again and go to a couple of gigs throughout this year. What remains in the meantime are precious memories and friendships made. It changed my life, once again, and opened my eyes on some aspects... some new changes ahead again in my life... i'll take a risk, make a change... and break away...hopefully sooner than later... what's on next is my trip to Belgium for some easter holiday fun. I'll be coming from Germany with two friends to meet our friend Briseida from Mexico, whilst another friend from England is joining. A very fun short holiday awaits... Pictures and videos ( I FINALLY GOT MYSELF A PROPER VIDEO CAMERA!!) i took during the past two months..enjoy the madness haha ;) i am somewhere in the second video at about 1:40... looking very err, high or drunk but i SWEAR i was just high on fun haha
