The story continues... after my last post, yesterday, Beluga came back looking really great. She'd had some highlights put in her hair, and cut it a little. Two thumbs up! :)

We took it easy, went to the local mall before they closed, sent some post-cards. I spent about 12 Euro in Woolsworth, not sure what I bought though, a bra and some scissors, plus some chocolate. Then I went to the store and spent about 12 Euro on German potato chips, I know that's much! But it's so gooood! I would have spent that amount at home sooner or later anyway. ;)

The rest of the day we took it easy. Beluga decided she wanted to watch "Desperado", so I joined her. I didn't really like that movie before either, appreciate it more, now that I've seen "El Mariachi". Kind of curious about "Once upon a time in Mexico", even though everybody I've talked to says it sucks.
When that was finished I said i wanted more action, so we watched "The Replacement Killers", which was so flawed that even a five year old could have spotted the big mistake! We spent the last 20 minutes of it, just mocking everything going on.
We had a little break after that, checked the news online and read a bit. When the parental units eventually went to bed, Beluga and I watched "The Cell". It was special to say the least, kind of funky. The story is very simple, but the visual effects are really good. Lots of good imagery.


This morning we got up early, as usual. Beluga, dad, my aunt, uncle and I went to Flo-markt and had another look around. It was much better this time. Lots to see, lot of junk, but some good stuff among the lot. Beluga found a cool (fake) leather jacket which looked really good. She got it for 5 Euro, she was cold, and needed a jacket, so why not? :) About 5 mins later we found another one, but this one was longer, looked kind of Matrixy. I got it for 5 Euro, I was cold too, plus it fit me rather well. :) Now I just need some dark clothes and sunglasses and I can fly through computer programs. :P

When we got back, we just got ready for a family gathering. My cousin came with her two kids. + Her sister in law with her husband and mother. Kasia's husband dropped by for a sec, but he had to get back to work. I spent most of the time with Kasia's 20 month old daughter, just making sure she didn't bother Ami too much and didn't draw all over the table instead of the paper.

When they all left we were ready for dinner, one of my aunt's mates dropped by to join us.
That's it for today. :) Tomorrow we're getting up really early and goin' on home. Am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed, even though I had a great time down here. Have lots of preparations for my return to London as well. I leave next week, and then it gets serious, have three essays to write and I have to read for my exam as well... But until then I'm just going to enjoy the free-time I've got. ;)

Now... where was I in the exiting telling of our trip to Germany? Oh, yes.. thursday evening.

As I guessed, we didn't do anything else that day, stayed in and watched telly. Beluga and I finished of the day by watching "El Mariachi". It was ok, I almost fell asleep watching it though.

Yesterday was quite a busy day. First my mom, aunt, Kasia (Katarina), Beluga and I crammed into the car and drove to a shopping mall 20mins away.
Was pretty big mall, we didn't get to see much of it though. At least Beluga managed to buy some tops. All I bought was a Pepsi, and two pens.
We had a quick stop back at the flat, before we went to visit my other cousin, Bartek. He'd invited us over for coffee. He had a really nice flat, it was the first time I'd seen it. Was a great prize on it too, and he had enough space for himself. I'd be muchly happy to have place like that when I finally move out.
We then drove back to the flat and had dinner, we got some quiet time to get our things in order, and at 19:30 we went to the "Hamburger Dom". We walked around for most of it, I enjoyed myself. We met up with my cousin and her family. Beluga and I went to a special effects show. It was just some lights on a screen, it was nice to look at, but I think the price was a bit high.
I followed my cousins kid up in a ferris-wheel. Was actually pretty nice, got to see the whole Dom, and much of the city. It was pretty dark at the time, so I mostly saw the lights of the city. :) In the meantime Beluga had a trip in a rollercoaster, she wasn't to pleased with it, as it didn't last long enough.
We broke away from the parental-units and went looking for a real ride for Beluga, she found a fast thing where she'd be turned up side down and such. (I stayed of it, as I get sick just by looking at it.) She seemed to have lots of fun riding it, they stopped for 2 secs in the middle of her ride, and turned of most of the lights in the park. Once the fireworks started, the machine started up again. I actually think she got a longer ride since she got on when the fireworks started. When she finally got off she was pretty jazzed. :)
We hurried and met up with the rest of the crew again, and stared walking towards the exit, stopped some places and had a look. I gave one of those grabby-machines a try, you know those machines with a claw, and the you have to steer it towards a thing you want, then it grabs it.. or not. I won a teddy. It was cute, and I needed some kind of proof that I'd been to the Dom.
Beluga and I stopped at a ghost house, she saw that there'd be live actors, so we though it might be fun. In front of the house there was a big tree, looked like Treebeard if he'd ever gotten drunk. The biggest scare it got there was before we bought the tickets. :P Some guy dressed up as a vampire jumped out of the smoke and said: "BO!"
All in all it was rather amusing. There was a guy dressed all in white, with a dirty face, and a cute little teddy that he kept petting following us around. There was a group of teeny-boopers close by as well, and he really freaked them out. LOL, wimps!
When we finished at the ghost house, we made our way towards exit again. Had a little look in the shop, and Beluga bought herself some new sun-glasses. We left as they were closing, and got back to the flat at about 00:30. I was pretty tired, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep. No movies that night, oh no.

Today, Beluga's off to the hairdresser to get some highlights, mom and my aunt went to visit someone. My dad, uncle and I are staying in, just taking it easy.

We go back home on Monday... not sure what the plan is for the remaining day. We might go to another mall later today, and I think we're visiting my cousin tomorrow.
