『2013|07|11』A day in pink!

I'm on holidays again, this time it's only two weeks. I finally decided to post again. I have quite a lot of ideas for a few posts. I'm starting with something from back in July, just because it was so much fun and absolutely worth the time and money. ^^ 

WARNING: It's going to be super picture heavy! 


Since I knew it would be in Berlin I wanted to go there and tried to find people who wanted to go there with me. It wasn't that hard as I believed first and I suddenly had two friends who wanted to go there. In the end I only went with one of them.
The opening was on my birthday and ever since I wanted to go there everyday. I always said if I had known it early I would have had celebrated my birthday there. XD I said that just to annoy the others, but at the same time thought it would have been a cute idea. ^^

I'm talking about the Barbie Dreamhouse.


On 11th July I finally could go there. I met up with Lulu around 10:30am. Which was kinda hard, because I was on summer holidays, which means I slept super long and was lying in the sun all the time. Both of us were a bit late, because it was "too" early in the morning for us. ^^" Finally both of us were there and we went across the Alexanderplatz to get to the Barbie Dreamhouse. It opened at 10:00am and we hoped that it won't be too crowded in the morning. We were lucky enough and the waiting line wasn't really long.

But first thing to do after arriving there was taking pictures.

So I'm telling you right at the beginning, the pictures from outside the Barbie Dreamhouse are okay, but inside was a horrible lighting and everything was pink with a lighter shade of pink and even the spotlights were pink. That's why on most pictures people and things are pink even when they were in other colors.
And yes I kind of documented the whole Barbie Dreamhouse in pictures and short video clips. I'll show you a few of them. ^^

Onto the first pictures:

in front of the Barbie Dreamhouse

the entrance

On both sides of the entrance was a big vitrine with a lot of different styled Barbies, all in pink outfits. We spend a few minutes there to look at all of them. ^^

the waiting line in front of the ticket desk

I loved it, that the ticket desk was in a "paper box" just like the Barbie dolls in the shops.

At first I didn't recognized it at all, but after a few seconds I realized what it was. ^^

Finally through with the tickets, we also took the RFID-bracelet to play games and first had to register in Barbie's Dreamhouse for it. We could choose an avatar and a nick name. I chose Barbie (actually I wanted Teresa, but something went wrong ;_;)  and sure I chose MomokoHime as a nick. XD What else...

The first thing to enter was an elevator to get to the big pink kitchen of the Barbie Dreamhouse.

Barbie and her sisters 

yummy a supersized cupcake. XD
actually it was a wastebin

next to Barbie and her sisters ^^

Finally an overview of the kitchen. Everything was pink, pink, pink and a few sprinkles of white, like the real Barbie Dreamhouse. The center part of the kitchen was the gaming section were we could "bake" cupcakes with the RFID-bracelet.

an overview

the cupcake I made ^^

You also could push buttons to light up the ovens and the cupcakes inside started turning around. This was so funny, like the real Barbie kitchen I had when I was a child.

my favourite cupcake

and Lulu's favourite cupcake

After spending quite a while in the kitchen looking at everything, taking photos and baking cupcakes, we moved on to the next room.

It was the special cooling room, maybe they wanted to imitate a huge freezer, but I just called it "The Ice Room". Everything turned from pink to blue and it immediately got so cool. XD

a vitrine with a lot of awesome looking cakes

one of my favos

and another one

In every room were a few vitrines with special Barbie dolls and the "Ice Room" had one of the coolest of them all.

the vitrine with the ice themed Barbies

and our favourite doll
she's just too awesome and her outfit
is the most extravagant of them all

Everything was full with ice cube shaped walls and even the armchairs looked like they were made of ice cubes. They also imitated icicles out of little crystal-like plastic pearls.

the Ice-Princess

After we were finished we had to cross the kitchen again to go to the next room, the living room:

me and Barbie's award

a pic with Ryan and Raquelle

I love these two, they are so funny in the Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse series. XD I actually love their style, but can't stand it that they always turn the dark haired and more rock styled characters into the "bad" ones. This is kind of annoying. (>_>)"

The living room was a really huge room and we could play the piano, a puzzle on a screen (with the RFID-bracelet) and also write an entry in Barbie's friends book. There also were a few special dolls shown, pictures and a big bookshelf of Barbie's books. ^^

my entry

After that we went to the beach and had a wonderful day and night there.  ^^

overview of the beach

The room with the beach had day & night changes and with that even the sounds changed a bit. That was so cool. When it was night time it was really hard to take pics, because the lighting got even more worse.

some of the beach dolls 

This was a funny thing. In all the other rooms were vitrines for the dolls and the one on the beach was one of these fridges with a glass door, like in shops or supermarkets. There was even sand in it to simulate the beach.

And as always posing, posing, posing:

waiting to sell some juice and lemonade ^^

and chilling at the beach in the sun

The beach wasn't that big and we returned to the living room again, to get to the next room. 

On our way there we passed a wall with pictures of Barbie's life, friends, family and pets. It was a bit like in Harry Potter, because the pictures were changing and we suddenly felt like being in Hogwarts. XD

the "magical" pictures
Barbie, her sisters and Taffy (dog)

On the opposite side was the home of Barbie's pets. We then met Taffy, Tawny and Blissa.

with Tawny (horse) and Blissa (cat)

All the rooms were on different floors. On each floor a few rooms. Moving from floor to floor you needed to take the elevator. That was so funny, because it wasn't a real elevator, just a small room in between with an animation, so you feel like being in an elevator. Sometimes there was a screen and a video message from Barbie herself. 

here you can see the inside of the elevator

it also was pink, what else XD

Then we entered the huge bed room. The bedroom was a lot of fun, because we took a lot of silly pics. ^^

took a pic with Barbie's friends
Teresa,  Nikki, Midge

a huge music box
it even worked properly 

Barbie's bed is sooo huge

a slide in the shape of a pump XD

comfy bed ^^

You also could activate the ceiling of the bed with your RFID-bracelet. You had to hold your bracelet against the right section at the bed and than the ceiling got activated and some personalized surprise appeared there. ^o^

WHAT'S THAT?

a scared edition of the MomokoHime doll XD

The funny thing with these was, that around the glass box were a lot in a smaller size with Barbie dolls in it. That means we could be the doll in the box. ^^

Some of those awesome special edition Barbies:

I love her dress so much

Paris Barbie

here is the whole "family"
Skipper, Chelsea & Blissa, Barbie, Taffy, Ken,  Stacie

Next to the bedroom was Barbie's bathroom. 

the styling section

the bathtub

and the toilet XD

To get the joke with the dolphins you actually need to know the show Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse. There was this episode where Stacie got dolphins as pets and Ken accidentally joined the aquarium with the plumping and the dolphins swam around the whole neigbourhood through the pipes. XD" 

And on the screen at the styling section was exact this episode playing all day. Too funny! XD

Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse "Accidentally on Porpoise"

the episode I was talking about XD

The bathroom was also stuffed with a lot of super pretty mermaid dolls in bull's eyes. That was such an awesome arrangement! 

this one is so pretty

I like her because she has purple clothing XD

such a cutie

super pretty and colourful 

Back to the bedroom we decided to play another game and this time created a postcard for Barbie. ^^

my postcard

Crossing the bedroom to get to the next room. Let's say it's the most important part of Barbie and nearly every little princess and girl. The wardrobe!
It wasn't like a wardrobe at all. It was a big room with different ways and different things to discover.

the center part

another view of the center
the purple wall is from her shoe cabinet

The shoe cabinet's wall was purple and  had a shoe print on it. You could discover various shoes there.

a screen with limited edition Barbie dolls and a documentary about
the process of painting and decorating a doll

one of the hand painted dolls

This was a quite interesting part and we even watched the documentary, because it was so interesting to see the process of it.

Slowly getting near the wardrobe:

Nikki directing you to the shoe cabinet 

Raquelle directing you to the jewelry and accessories  

Midge showed the direction to the hat section

and Teresa showing the direction to the clothes and purses

 With your friends directing you through your wardrobe you will never get lost in it. ^^

Barbie's super huge wardrobe

Everyone needs such a wardrobe. I would finally get all my dresses in there without any problems. ^^"

After we were through the huge wardrobe and the shoe cabinet we made our way to the airplane to get to Paris - the city of fashion. 

Actually we thought we're going to enter a new elevator to get back to the ground floor, but when we entered we were told we had to fly to Paris. This was so funny, because I was a few weeks earlier in Paris. Remember the DIR EN GREY concert? XD

like a real plane XD

a short video of the plane

He was asking everyone if they had all their kids together. So nobody get's left behind. 

Barbie as captain is talking to us XD

the beginning of Barbie's welcoming message on the plane 

Finally we arrived in Paris. Everything went fine and nothing was delayed or such things.  

First we looked around, because we couldn't decide what to do and after a little stroll we went to see the Eiffel Tower. XD 

looks like the real one XDDD

cruising around town
right below an awful pink spotlight

the drawing and hand crafting section

In this section you were allowed to colour in pictures of Barbie. You also could stick rhinestones and feathers onto the pictures. ^^

the wall with some pictures

We decided that these were for parents to chill, while their kids had fun drawing and styling Barbie's hair or preparing for the catwalk and the the popstar stage.

chilling with Barbie

relaxing with Barbie XD

Now comes the special part which you had to pay extra. It's the catwalk and the popstar stage specials.

make up section for the kids to get ready

the catwalk

and the popstar stage

It was so funny to watch the kids do that. It were mainly smaller ones who couldn't even remember the choreography they had learned a few minutes ago. XD"""
Especially the ones at the popstar stage. It was just too funny. *tehe* 

The annoying thing was that they always used the same Barbie song over and over again.

Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse "Everybody needs a Ken"

Nearly at the end of the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience!

Barbie's awesome camping van

The van was a small cinema and they screened all the Barbie - Life in the Dreamhouse Episodes there. So funny, but I already knew all of them. That reminds me that I need to watch the new episodes. XD

After we were finally finished with everything we left Paris again and suddenly we were at the Barbie Dreamhouse merchandising shop.

I even took pictures of it. As everything else it was in a Barbie themed pink. ^^"

looks like a purikura machine ^^

The wall reminded us of a purikura machine, with the styled girl and a lot of accessories around her. In that case it was Barbie with her beloved things, but could have been a puri machine. XD

Barbie's Dreamhouse

In the shop you could buy a lot of things, especially things from the Dreamhouse show, like Barbie's pets, her Dreamhouse and a Barbie doll styled like in the show. There also was some stationaries and other Barbie stuff. 

one of the shelfs stuffed with dolls and plushies 

After that we decided to take a break and get something sweet. We went to the Barbie Cafe, which also was in a pink theme, and had cupcakes.

like a real Barbie Cafe ^^

our cupcakes ♥ 

I had a peach flavoured cupcake and Lulu had a lime flavoured one. Even when it looks like it's totally chemical, especially in the topping, these cupcakes tasted pretty good and gave us the needed strength to go back home. ^^

After more than four hours in pink we finally left the Barbie Cafe and took some last pictures.

the exit

And two short videos of the exit, so you can see what was on the walls. ^^

and the opposite wall

Finally outside again and some last pictures of Barbie's Dreamhouse.

some silly picture as a farewell XD

the right side of the front

and the outside area of the Barbie Cafe

my stuff from the Barbie Dreamhouse Experience
the picture I coulored in, my ticket, a leaflet and a notbook.  

After that we were super exhausted and pretty tired. Our feet hurt so much and even my back. To be honest even my eyes hurt a bit, because the lighting in the Dreamhouse was so awful with all the pink spotlights.

Nevertheless we had a fun day and it was totally worth the money. I never expected it to be this much fun!

my outfit

It was inspired by Teresa. As a child I loved her and she was my favourite doll. She has brown hair and mostly was dressed in purple clothes (at least as a princess ^^) and I loved it that she wasn't as pink as Barbie always is.


Outfit rundown:

• dress : H&M
• tights: Claire's
• hairband: Claire's
• jewelry: Claire's

『2013︱09 ︳13』TEN YEARS AGO ! ! !

Yeah I'm actually still alive! There is just a lot going on at the moment and I won't talk about it here at this time.

Today is a day I cherish a lot and I think I will do it forever. It's one of the days which changed a lot and why I am like I am now.

You have to know that this was my first favourit band ever (after The Kelly Family - but I was so young back then) and with that a lot started to change me. It was that time my black phase started or kinda started, because just this summer, even before I knew of this special band, I started to wear black and black nail polish and everything. But from this time on I got asked a lot of stupid and annoying questions about my clothing style, my make up and what not.

But let's put that aside! With this day my addiction for concerts started and from this day on I went to a lot more. Sometimes 12 or more in a year, several in a month. My music addiction started all over and I needed every album, every single, just every concert in Berlin from this band.

It might be a little surprise for some, because like almost everyone always thinks I'm super addicted to Japan related things and sure, it's true. But there is this one small country up in the north, which will stay in my heart forever and ever. It's Finland! Yep, I really mean Suomi - Finland! Not only that my all time favourite band is from that country but everything else, too. I actually really love the language, even though I can't understand a word. It just sounds so lovely and a bit funny. Also it's a really beautiful country!

I know there are a lot of awesome finnish bands, but there is only one I really love and will love forever!
It's THE RASMUS! I can't even tell you why, it's just that their music was always by my side for already ten years and I never felt like this for a band. It never was something special to me and with them it changed. Just everything changed!

Not only my style, just me. I got a little bit more confident in myself otherwise I would have never become a vegetarian. Yeah that's nearly ten years, too now. I stared doing things I never did, I also got a few friends because of this band. Even when I lost them again after a few years, but others stayed and that is what counts. I started using social networks, like the official The Rasmus forum and myspace and a bit later I started out with my first blog. I totally failed it, because I never knew what to write and just stayed at the one I had on myspace.
It also was the time I finally knew how the internet works and that I can actually find "everything" on there.

I also turned in some fangirly, but never in such a weird screaming one. XD My walls were plastered all over with The Rasmus posters and I actually really collected all those stupid magazines and the articles. I still have the articles in a folder and I like to flip through them and remember the "good old times".
Sometimes it's just so endlessly funny how stupid some people were (I actually referring to that one special person) and how stupid I was. But luckily I was a bit more realistic and able to differentiate between love and "love" and such things, at least I think I was able to. XD""""

And yeah I totally had a crush first on Lauri, but than I really started to hate him, I was so annoyed from all this hype around him that I couldn't stand hearing his name and seeing him. I even threw things on his posters. XD""" But my super crush came with Aki and you can see I always have the crush on the drummers. I can't live without them. X///D I'm totally honest here!!!! And it's still that I hate it when people only see Lauri as The Rasmus, they are f*** four, FOUR people and I love them all! I will always love this band and their music. FOREVER AND EVER!

That's why I'm sitting here, writing this senseless post and watching the concert from exactly 10 years ago. It got recorded by VIVA and they streamed it at their program "Overdrive" where they always showed concerts.

I still remember that day, too. It was the first time I ever saw a recorded video from a concert I attended and I sat there with my friend right in front of the screen and starred at it with tears in the eyes and goosebumps all over my body.




I even remember the way back from that concert. XD" Gosh! How embarrassing to think about it. X////D The mom of my friend picked us up and we had to go by Ubahn and Sbahn back home. Stupid invention of walkmans and discmans, because we listened to The Rasmus songs the whole time, sat on the ground and sang a long. All of this on a sound level you wouldn't like as a normal passenger. X////D

But the most important thing is the fact how I got the concert tickets which changed my life so much! Since it was more or less a spontaneous decision to go there and I never went on my own (without parents) to a concert before, I was super late with the tickets and it was already sold out. But since we're listening to Radio Fritz at home, a program directed to younger people, I had the chance of winning the tickets. And guess what happened one day before the concert! Right, while I was at piano lessons (yes I took some, but can't play a thing XD") my sister won some. I came home and first she tried to be all sad and I totally fell for it. XD" But than she came running and screaming and everything was perfect, because she really won the last tickets for this concert!!!
From this on I never missed a TR concert in Berlin and I went to every tour they had here.

With that it now are 10 years, 9 tours, 10 concerts, 9 albums, 10 singles, 2 dvds, a couple of t-shirts, totes and a lot of magazines, posters, articles and saved pictures, an autograph and a photo with Aki and one with Lauri. I even recorded the cds on cassettes to listen to them on my walkman and spend a lot of time in the forum.
I was that band and that band was me and still today it's a big part of me even when I'm not that obsessed with them anymore. They will always have a special place in my heart!

With that I wish you a wonderful night and a

Happy 10 Years of my 1st The Rasmus concert!

today's outfit is all to celebrate the 10 years
I love this band ♥♥♥♥

『2013︱06︱12 - 2013︱06︱15』Two long bus rides, Paris & DIR EN GREY concert DAY II

Finally I'm motivated enough to write about the second day. Since I'm on holidays I got super lazy and didn't feel like writing at all. And I have two other entries to write too, maybe a third one. Stay tuned. ^^

Just going to say it here, this will get a bit picture heavy, since I want to show you everything we saw that day~

The beginning of the next day was just pure horror. As everyone should know, I'm not a morning person at all and after concerts I'm always like dead. That was exactly what I was. I was just so dead and tired. I nearly couldn't get out of bed. That was the biggest problem, because everyone was already awake and dressed. It was around 9:40am when I got up and went to the bathroom. Since I'm slow in the morning they had to wait for me quite a bit...

Finally ready I remembered that I wanted to give Alex the "Thank You Presesnt" for her family, because we were allowed to stay at their house. I also packed my stuff back into my carry on luggage and decided to go down. Kao was styling her hair in the bath now and Alex and Pika wrote in Kao's con-hon. ^^ We also went through the puris we made and cut them apart so everyone could decide on some to keep them. ^^ It was such a hard decision, because all of them were so funny.

Alex finished writing and we decided to have breakfast and to make sandwiches to take out. We had to hurry because we wanted to catch the bus, but when we finally were ready we already missed it.
Pika then decided to call her mother and asked if she can drive us to the train station. She did and that was our luck to finally go back to Paris city. We arrived at the train station and had to buy tickets first. Finally in the train, it wasn't that crowded at first but the nearer we got to Paris the more crowded it got.
Finally we arrived at the central station in Paris. With that the nearly impossible odyssey of finding the lockers began.

After an eternity, running through nearly the whole train station, asking a lot of people and a lot of escalator journeys, we finally found the locker room. We were so happy to finally find it and after Kao and I passed the security control the next odyssey began. Finding a locker big enough to fit all our stuff and one that's working wasn't that easy at all. Finding one fitting all our stuff wasn't the problem, everything even fitted in a small one, but finding one which was working was the real horror.

The first section we went in had lockers already used or broken and the description of how they work was only in french. We nearly needed an eternity to find a working one. >.>
After a while Pika came looking for us and she then saw what the problem was and told us that the locker won't close because it's broken. And we were finally able to find a working one and finished that in one minute. XD""

It was really a weird start into the day.

After that we first went to see Sacré-Coeur and had a beautiful but a bit grey view over Paris from there.
To reach the top of Montmartre and Sacré-Coeur itself you actually need to climb a lot of steps spread over two stairs because it's 130m high. It was a bit exhausting but we survived it. ^^

the first batch of stairs, which leads to Sacré-Coeur

We even made a small break after we climbed the first stairs. XD Just too exhausting...

and the second batch of stairs - nearly there

finally on top of Montmartre and in front of Sacré-Coeur

First we just looked from outside and I went to every side to see every detail. I just love old churches and stuff like that. ♥ We also did the typical tourist photos, in front of Sacré-Coeur.

in front of Sacré-Coeur

our "tour guides" ^^

the arcade in front of the entry. just so beautiful~

After I discovered that there is no entrance fee I decided to take a look inside. It is so beautiful there. Sadly everything was stuffed with a lot of these medal pressing machines and with candles to light. But I guess they just try to get money, since there is no entrance fee.

I also lit a candle in memory of my grandma. I like to do it in special places. ♥

Since Montmartre is 130m high you have a really awesome view from there. You can see the whole of Paris. Sadly it was still cloudy and grey in the beginning of the day, but we surely had a really great view too.

view from the top of the great stairs

another touri pic ^^ - in front of the view 

beautiful view from the bottom of the great stairs to Sacré-Coeur

I actually really like this photo a lot. It would look even more beautiful with a clear blue skye. ^^" 

After that and a small break at the stairs we made our way back to the Métro and to the next target.

on our way back to the Métro

This is my most favourite shot of Sacré-Coeur. It just looks so beautiful with all the green and red in front of it. And again, a clear blue sky would be awesome to make it perfect.

After that we made our way to the Place du Palais Royal. It was on our way to the Louvre and we stopped there for a short while.

I saw it on our way to the Louvre and had to take a picture of it.
just reminded me on all the camping holidays I spend with my family in Southern France. ^^

the Métro sign at Place du Palais Royal

Place du Palais Royal

While we were there Pika also introduced us a side view of the Louvre. XD It was so big, just from that view and later on we saw the whole building.

a side view of the Louvre

still at Palais Royal and another Métro sign, plus a bit of the Louvre

As you can see the sky started to clear and we already were able to see a beautiful blue sky. At this point the weather turned into a sunny and warm day. \(^o^)/

We still were on our way to the front side of the Louvre and while walking there I discovered this monument. I just had to take a picture of it.

Jeanne d’Arc at Place des Pyramides

I think everyone knows the story of Jeanne d'Arc and it also reminded me of the anime Star of the Seine. That's why I the opening song was stuck in my head for a while. XD

The German opening song of Star of the Seine♪

I couldn't resist to put the video here. XD Just ignore it ...


Finally we came to the Jardin des Tuileries where we took a break from walking and had lunch. We sat on some chairs and started eating our sandwiches. I also took quite a lot of photos, because everything looked so beautiful and kinda reminded me of Vienna's garden of the castle Schönbrunn. But I think that's just because everyone wanted to be French in the age of baroque.

this part of the Jardin des Tuileries reminded me a lot of some part at Schönbrunn. XD

As you can see there were a lot of tourists and the sky started to clear. It got nice and warm. ^^

view to the Louvre and Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel 

After we finished our sandwiches and a few chips I had to take some more pictures and we slowly walked to the Louvre. While walking there we passed the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.

in front of Arc de Triopmh du Carrousel

It reminded me of the Brandenburg Gate immediately. I think it's the quadriga on top of it. Later I found out that the quadriga is a copy of one in Venice. It's so funny because my parents visited Venice and saw the real quadriga. XD

a comprehensive view of the Palais du Louvre

monument of Louis XIV - the Sun King

the famous glass pyramid - the main entrance of the museum 

in front of a small glass pyramid ^^

After taking a few pictures and sitting at the fountain we started to continue our small journey through Paris. Sadly we hadn't enough time to go inside. That means I have to go back one day to visit it.

I love this view - I think it looks awesome with both
glass pyramids like this

the Louvre

We waked through the passage to the other side of the Louvre and discovered this beautiful building.

Église Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois

It's a late gothic church and it's sooo endlessly beautiful. ♥ It was the church of the Louvre, when it still was a royal palace.

With that we were on our way to the last stop.

crossing the Seine

Finally we arrived at Notre Dame. I think everyone knows Notre Dame so I don't have to say something about it. I actually can say that I was really impressed with this super huge cathedral. It's just so beautiful, at least from the outside.

first view at Notre Dame

The blue thing in front of the cathedral was the "entry" to a plateau, which was there because it's the 850th anniversary of Notre Dame. The inside of it was based on a church with quotes and stained glass windows at each side.

the quote in various languages

in front of Notre Dame

I also walked around the cathedral as far as I could go without entering it and it's garden. First you had to pay and second there was a really long line outside and we hadn't much time left. While I walked to each side of Notre Dame the others sat down on the plateau and waited. I also took a lot of detail shots, because it's so beautiful and I wanted to capture every bit of Notre Dame.

one of the main doorways
 it's theme is the "Last Judgement"

It has several main doorways and each has a different theme. It's so impressive to see how detailed everything is. You can even make out face expressions.

a side view

one of the awesome windows

some more details

I really love the last photo. First you can see a lot of details and second it's so funny how I caught the bird between the two pillars. It has some kind of mystic - magic moment to it. ^^"

After I took all the photos I went back to the others and sat down too. We sat there and enjoyed the sun, talked a bit and took a few group pics to remember the two days. 

We were already sad to leave, because our two tour guides are two really lovely girls with whom you can have a lot of fun.

Sadly it was time to go and we left Notre Dame to go back to the main station of Paris to get our luggage. This time we found the lockers immediately and everything worked out fine. 

We arrived at the bus station far to early and decided to eat first. After that we still had to wait to get checked in and when it was on time we had to wait even more because something went wrong for the person before us in line. This was kinda annoying...

Finally checked in we brought our luggage to the bus and looked for a place. All the good seats were already gone. And Kao and me got sad because we wanted the place at the door again. It's more comfortable there, because it has a bit more space.

We went off again for a few more minutes and then had to say goodbye to Alex and Pika. (;___;)/ 

Now we were on the bus and both of them waited outside for our leave but nothing happened. >_> Suddenly there were some people running to the bus, because they were late. How annoying is that? How can you be late to your bus ride and how can you not have checked in by this time? 

That's why we left around twenty minutes later than scheduled.

Finally on the way... you would think that everything is okay now, but no it got even more worse after a while.

One of the drivers was the most unfriendly person ever. You can't believe how annoyed I was. He couldn't even speak English. I mean when you're a bus driver who travels between different countries you have to speak at least English. It doesn't have to be perfect but you should be able to answer basic things, like where the toilet is.
In the end we told the woman where the toilet is.
He always ran super nervous and worked up through the bus and told everyone in an super unfriendly behaviour where to sit and if they speak German. Soooo sooooooooo sooooooooooo UNFRIENDLY!!!!!!!!

That wasn't all!

The first stop was in Brussels where people had to change busses to Bielefeld. It was so super unorganized and chaotic. Gosh! I couldn't believe that. Because of that the bus got delayed again.

We drove for a while and nothing happened. Because we where super exhausted we slept for a while (that's why I'm not sure if I caught every stop) and suddenly the bus stopped. I thought we would finally make a break, but no! No break! It was a pass control. So scary! O_O The most scary thing was that Kao only had a copy with herself, because she lost her real ID. But he let her pass and everything was okay for us. But there collected some IDs and we had to wait there like forever.

When we finally were allowed to leave the place we got delayed again. -.-"
Because of all the delays we didn't have a break, what was really horrible because I got super hungry and I wanted to go to a normal toilet. ;_;

And there was one more thing, I'm not sure in which city it happened but at one of the stops the bus started leaving while some people were still outside smoking. Luckily there noticed early enough and were able to get at the bus again.
Guess what the super unfriendly driver did! Right he screamed at them how they could go out, it wasn't a break and such things. How can they just leave without waiting for everyone? -.-"

And finally at 09:05am on 15th June we arrived back in Berlin. Guess what? We were ten minutes early. We could have had at least a ten minutes break, but no - just no break.

Our stops for the way back to Berlin:

• 19:40 Paris
• 23:15 Brussels
• 02:15 Pass Control
• 05:28 Hanover
• 06:29 Brunswick
• 09:05 Berlin

When we arrived I was so hungry and I had to go to the toilet immediately. I gave Kao my luggage and ran to the toilet. XD" After that I looked up the way back home and we left in different directions.

Finally home at 10:25am, I went straight to bed to sleep at least a bit. Around 30 minutes later my parents arrived home, too (from their holidays in Italy). And last but not least my sister arrived home, too.

So funny that she was the last one who came home, it was her birthday. XD

My parents even picked up her birthday cake before coming home and so it was my first meal, since I ate last in Paris. Yummy birthday cake. She also got her presents and then we just chilled around, because everyone was so tired and exhausted. Me because of the stupid bus drive, my parents from their long motorbike tour and my sister from her birthday party. Later in the evening we went out to eat sushi. It was so yummy. ♥ After that my sister left us again to go to this city festival which was held in Spandau.

When we were home again I did nothing for the next few days. XD Lazy princess is always lazy and it was right before holidays. Only the handing out of the certificate was left. So nothing special at all.


All in all I can say that Paris was super fun if we not count the bus rides XD and that the concert was the best of all times. Also I have to say that I was really anxious to sleep at a house of people I didn't know, but it turned out to be good and that I didn't need to be afraid of anything.

I really want to THANK YOU both for the awesome two days we were able to spend with you! And another THANK YOU to Alex's family. ^^ And last but not least THANKS to Kao who spend all this long and horrible time in the bus with me. ♥♥♥
