My first Karneval Experience

Today, I had the worst hangover of my life. I know people say that but I am not exggerating, it literally was the worst. I even puked up the cheap vodka I drank this morning. I thought food would help, but I just puked up Ulla's delicious chicken and couscous left overs. She made me some kinda hot broth to drink and I felt better.

Yesterday was the first day of Karneval and it was madness. Everyone in the streets were dressed silly. Popular costumes were clowns (I know scary right), medieval people, and pirates. We started the drinking at 10AM while watching the parade on the other side of the Rhine River. A lot of candy was thrown into the crowd which was cool but then I looked around me. There were only adults catching these candies which is kind of comical.

We followed our student worker guy into a lame bar with a 10 Euro cover. Kristin and I got bored so we walked back to Bonn's Hauptbahnhof (central station) so we could meet up with our friends in Koln. Once we got to Koln, they wanted to go back so we hung out at the train station for a good portion of our time.

This dude charged me while I was walking. I was pretty drunk and teetering on my stilettos when this asshole decided to ram into me and I fell to the ground. John and Meghan helped me up. They're so cute, they were keeping an eye on me after that like they were my mom and dad.

Then we went to James Joyce, this sucker from Texas bought me drinks. John told me to get the most expensive drink so I did hehe. He also carried me on his back when walking around Bonn. This guy Tristan keeps texting me today in broken English. I still have no idea who he is or how we met. I added him on facebook so maybe I'll recognize him?

Ulla's cooking me some Weinershnitzel right now. I'm debating whether I should go out tonight, I've felt pretty shitty all day and it's been raining all day.
