On Friday I
went to an event for exchange students called the Crawl Bar. We received T-shirts
and had to collect phone numbers from as many countries as possible on our new T-shirt. Back then I considered myself a rather shy person in front of strangers but
looking back at that time I can’t repeat this statement anymore as I was literally
asking everyone for their phone number (girls, boys, women and men alike),
getting into numerous conversations while holding (and spilling and spilling...and of course spilling) my pint of beer.
This is a real ice breaker but the problem was that the incentive given wasn’t
to get to know new people but to ask as many people as possible for their phone
numbers. There were many Students from North and South America and Western
Europe but no students from Central America (aside from Mexico), Central Asia
and Eastern Europe. Here’s my newly styled T-shirt.
Afterwards
we went to a disco. Aside from waiting 30 minutes in a queue to get inside and
waiting for another 30 minutes to drop our coats off at the wardrobe we could
enjoy ourselves well at the party while we received 2 free drinks as part of the
ticket we bought for the Crawl Bar, too. I ordered 2 Cuba libres and received...2 whisky libres. I hate whisky.
After
deciding to go home and before getting on the bus I realised that I was next to
the Arc of Triumph the whole time! This is the best smile my face could come up with at 4 a.m.
By the way, maybe it's time for me to shave.
