it's party time

hey there,

it is now my first weekend here and my first opportunity to sleep in in a very long time. i went to bed slightly after 12pm and heck i am already awake.
it is 10am and i ask myself where my ability for sleeping in went.
i woke up an hour ago and since than tried to sleep but haven't managed to silence all the thoughts in my mind to a level that would allow me to sleep.
a few years back i was able to sleep until 3pm without waking up. my personal sleeping record are 20 hours of constant sleep.
but it seems like these times are over. a new area started and it keeps me awake.
well 9 hours of sleep is not to bad i guess ;)

yesterday, johan the oldest one of the winterbergs celebrated a party.
purpose? there was none, but here you don't need a purpose you just post it on FB or write a sign and put it up in school and you can be sure that at least 40 people show up. it was a bottle party so allyou have to do is to bring something to drink.
the first people arrived at 9pm and after i was asked twice if i would like to show up i went over to johans part of the house. it was nice to get to know some of his friends but also really strange in some ways as i was the oldest and all of this was not really me, if you understand.
the people who came brought at least one bottle of vodka and one normal drink.
it only took 35min and the complete house was full with people. johan introduced me to some of them and i was able to talk a bit about what i was going to do. not so sure if any of them will remember me or what i said but thats ok.
it was nice to get to know some of his friends and to see how people celebrate here.
in the end i started feeling well "unsafe" and after i got asked if i would like to smoke a doobie and happily rejected it i decided that i had enough and went into my room. well parties here seem not so much different to parties in the city, not at all just that you stay close to where the party was because you should not drive home and as many people come from far away the town suddenly has 30 people looking for a place to stay.

before i went i had a really good chat with carmen the mother of johan and my host.
we had a good chat about life and i am glad that we have the chance to get to know each other a bit better and that she is interested in who i am and what i have done over the last years, yeah for doulos stories ;)

well this is my first weekend here and the wether is crap.
it's raining and i have no motivation to go out to do something.
so i will spent my time inside reading and using the lovely invention of internet to catch up with friends via skype.

well have a great day and be blessed
