Harry-Potter-Nacht und OKTOBERFEST
The German version of HarryPotter6 came out tonight (Harry Potter und der Halblutprinz). Henrik, Ina, OmiOpi (grandparents), und ich went to the HP Party at the big bookstore in town. Ina, Henrik & I dressed up--Henrik was Harry, Ina way Prof McGonagall, and I was Hermione--but with braids not frizzy hair :) I thought the evening was really special... Ina thought it was a little lame and Omi Christa joked that I probably thought it was nothing compared to the US Celebrations, but I missed the US celebrations! It was a nice second chance :)
We went in and were treated to all kinds of yummy snacks and drinks--we had this green drink called 'Mouse Piss' and Gummies called 'Dragon Sh**' (yes! they actually wrote sh**!!) and all kinds of coffee and even wine! We munched our treats and watched a witch do a little monologue, then Ina, Henrik, und OmiOpi listened to a reading from Harry Potter und der Halblutprinz while I went downstairs and perused some English books. (Sorry, 40 minutes crouched on the floor uncomfortably listening to passages I don't understand from a book I already read just wasn't appealing for some reason...)
I am meeting Tara at 5am to begin our trek to Oktoberfest. We bought these cheap tickets (30 euros roundtrip!!) but the trip will take forever cause it's on the slow trains--we are going to read & sleep. If this all works out we will definitely be doing these cheap trips at least once per month. :) So... hopefully there will be FUN stories to report when you next hear from me <3<3
