The Aftermath of a Good Time (Last)

The next day we went to the Grimm Brothers Museum. I've been there for a class before and thought it magical so I told Iva about it. She got so psyched about it. We first got disheartened when we checked that the museum was usually closed on Mondays. We went there to check it out, though, and turns out it wasn't closed. So we went inside. Despite the unfriendlyness of the workers, we enjoyed the exhibition quite well. Aside from that, we strolled around the park and paid my campus a little visit. Iva had a craving for sushi so we had dinner at an asian buffet. It has a wide selection of food, starting from sushi, chinese food, teppanyaki grilled seafood to dessert. They had kangaroo meat so I just HAD to try it out. Iva and I loved it but the guys didn't agree. The seafood was also really tasty and I was in love with the baby squid - I know, cruel but still undeniably tasty.

Okay, I got to tell you: I don't have many girl friends. So when one comes along who I can just practically get along with and our personalities are compatible with one another, it's hard to let go. This is rare, though. Iva is one of those girls. I love how so one with her femininity she is yet she is a hardcore gamer. Girls who don't think too much about their appearance and hang out with guys easily. She's girlier than I, though she's not so much into fashion - then again, neither am I.  The first time we bonded was actually over make ups. She was Firu's classmate in Studienkolleg (or college?) and we just somehow sort of hang out. It was probably awesome too, to have a girlfriend in a group full of boys. At first I was just her friend's girlfriend but now we're even closer than she and Daus ever were. Why are girls like her hard to find? My best friends are pretty much like that but aside from them, I'd never found one until Iva. After they all went home, the inside jokes and laughter still rang in my room. We're going to see each other again in June. So can't wait!

P.S: I'm going for a monochromatic look with this outfit.

The Aftermath of a Good Time (First)

Introducing once again: Iva, Wilson and, of course, Firu

Since last Sunday and Monday were Pentecost, my good friends Iva and Wilson came to visit me in Kassel. Yaay! Firu also came along because they're his good friends too. Iva kept saying that she was going to visit my town after I moved out of Karlsruhe - which is where we all once lived in - but she never actually came to visit me. I started to think that she was all talk. But, finally! She came last weekend! Yaay! We also asked Wilson to come with but didn't know that he was coming until around 3-4 days before they were supposed to be here. Though they were here for 4 days, they only had 2 days to actually go around town, seeing the landmarks that matter. This forced me to realise that Kassel doesn't have that much to offer. For a town to live in, though, I believe it's rather beautiful. I wish they could see that.

They both arrived in the afternoon, pushing to the evening, so we just ate dinner at my favourite kebab place and went back to my place to play cards until the wee hours. Just like old times. The next day, we went to the Wilhelmshöhe Bergpark to check out three major landmarks in Kassel, the Wilhelmshöhe Castle, the Hercules and Löwenburg. We climbed all the way to the top. I just now I've gotten in a much better shape because I didn't pant as much as we walked all the way up there. Wilson has asthma so we rested up a lot on the way. Also, we saw the first Waterworks display of the year - okay, it's not exactly the FIRST one but it was mine. People were gathering and we waited on the grass, under the cool and warm sun. I was so happy to see Iva and Wilson again! There's clearly nothing better than to spend a whole weekend filled with laughter and inside jokes. We went home that day and cooked meatballs for dinner. Firu even made kue lapis beras. He became quite a wizard with this dish.

P.S: My top is actually reversed and I took off the tights before we even hit Löwenburg, it became so hot then.
