Santa Claus is a devil?
Well, at least after Mikuláš (6th December) I really doubt if what I grew up with is really right. Being confronted with wired 12 Santa Clauses last year in Iceland I thought that might just be because of the island of nowhere. They might have had to come up with something and it happened to be 12 of them. But this year new traditions and it does not get better. Last year it was a Christmas cat that ate children which did not wear fresh clothes (honestly, that is Iceland J ) this year they have angle and devil walking hand in hand. I tried to catch some of them…
Last weekend I headed to my first tram-party. A huge lot of fun. 40 party people in a tram just chatting, drinking and being silly. The greatest way to be brought to your party destination! And on Saturday we went to the Old Town Square to celebrate the official electricification of the Prague Christmas tree. Actually we went just for a concert and were suddenly stuck between thousand of people that listened to someone on the stage speaking Czech for almost half an hour. Of course we would have left but honestly, we were stuck. And now have a look why all the people gathered (well, and we :-)) )
As nice as the sight was as mad were the people getting out of this place again. Pushing, pulling, squeezing, children crying and no way to find a way out. I was really just one single piece of this crowd and it took about 15 minutes to be able to breath again…
On Tuesday I took a day of and joined the AIESEC global village. They invite all foreigners to present their country with music, info material and national food. So please tell me, what is typical German food (that is not only from one region). It was a lot fun with people from exciting countries like Cameroon, Ukraine and India (among others) It somehow reflects all the people I get to know within my stay here in Prague…
But tomorrow I am gonna be in Rostock for a night, in Schwerin for meeting and in Hamburg for the next night. So I am getting back to my roots…
Take care
