cooking chicken & feeling fine.
Posted by giveaphuk on August 14, 2008
right now I am roasting a chicken in my berlin flat, drinking a beck’s beer & thinking how much better I feel than a few days ago. The flu has almost cleared up, bar a slightly sore throat, & a buch of mucus every time i feel the need to cough up. Last night I was well enough to go out for a bit, meeting up with about 20 fellow couchsurfers, & all heading into volkspark friedrichstien park to see a movie, ‘die welt’ (ie/ the world) under the stars.
We were informed that it would have subtitles, seeing it was in german, but as it turned out, it did not. so I managed to understand about 10% of what was said, but thankfully the ‘language barrier’ i had previously learnt to overcome, had me understanding the general plot of it all. It was basically about a school teacher who starts an experiment with his teenage students, to create a group/society, much like how hitler did with germany in WW2. Without giving much away I can say that it had unforseen consequences, & I can say it reminded me of a cross between ‘lord of the flies’ & the UK tv series ‘Skins’.
I will have to see it again with subtitiles, because the audience laughed lots & i didn’t get the jokes. But it was still great to meet a bunch of couchsurfers from around the world, & I sat next to a very classy & retro looking english girl, who contacted me today suggesting we have more drinks early next week.. hehehehe… I have to say I found her pretty cute, so of course I said Sure thing..
I also found a massive stuffed dinosaur in the park, which i ended up carrying around & taking home with me, which was funny because soo many people laughed when they saw me dragging this huge thing around public transport. I have now named her Frieda & given her alot of tattoos.. It is nice to have something for my room.. She will of course, feature in a photoshoot in the near future.
Tomorrow I am meeting up with a melbourne friend, rutter, who is a performance artist from melbourne currently touring europe, will be nice to see a familiar face & have some drinks & a laugh with her.
