Tests, Fußball and dancing.

No idea whats going on with these guys here....
Craig is looking pissed off, could be because I just step on his foot, took a picture or by this point the 12 hours of drinking.
Us dancing in a basement bar in Freiburg with a dancefloor about 15 feet wide and long, with about 5000 or so people all on it at once.

The english girls and Jason from Barrie.
Craig and Andy getting ready for a bit night.

A veiw of Freiburg from the top of a lookout point just out of the city.

One of the hardcore fans, so hardcore he brings his drum set.
Jason keeping the fans in it with the drumming, while still drinking a beer, impressive.
I had the chance to watch a Freiburg vs some other German team Fußball match. Of all the live sports I've watched, this one was probably the most crazy, yelling and screaming event I have ever witnessed. Every time the opposing team had the ball the entire stadium erupted in boos and heckling. Game ended in a tie, I'll have to check out the rematch.


All of the people from my language course from the last 4 weeks, my prof is the guy in the striped golf shirt in the centre.

Manbeast

Freiburg has quite a few street performers and Guy being the actor he is decided to throw on his stilts and do a bit of performing of his own (how he got them here is still a mystery). The dog didn't seem to like him and tried to take a bite out of him.















Not everyone enjoyed the show, the chain smoking boozing clown to the left certainly didn't. But after realizing I took a picture of him he chucked a candy at me....but I think he was trying to hit me with it.















Lars, Guy, Andy and Lars.

Karaokee

Lars and Guy picking a song, i think they went for Barbie girl....




Even when dancing with two sexy ladies, Guy can't get away from cell phone solitare.

Schauinsland

From the top of schauinsland, part of the black forest. From the top you can seen both France and the Swiss Alps. Paragliding is nearby too.... the tram ride up takes about 15 minutes, the walk back down was about 3 hours.Careful for bull crossings, luckily we didn't see any.

about 2 hours later.
Our 'guide' trying to debate which way to go to find civilization. We ended up going straight down into the dark part to the left.

Night out in Freiburg

After finishing off a tought week of classes we thought we'd relax with some poker, too bad the deck I bought was a Euchre deck... good thing Craig had ample drinking games up his sleeves from his days in Winnipeg. We started off with an interesting game called ZOOM, basically you make eye contact with another person and they have to drink. After went back to Kings, it seems that every country has their own version of it.


Waterfall...Kristoff and Damien from France
Sarah and Guy doing what I don't know.
Virtual bike racing and Craig's giving us the go ahead!
Julia and me.
Group shot.
Ein Metre as they call it, Honest Lawyer's Yard; eat your heart out.
Three of us, doing our best to give Canada a great name.

Lunch and Absinth

While waiting for the bus to take us back to Freiburg I happened to see a bottle of absinth and figured it might a good time to try it out, although Guy was the only one to give it a shot.

Prison...

Guy, Sarah, Lars Erik and me.


The university had legal authority over students up until the 20th century and used a prison from the 1700's to 1912 to punish students who were guity for disturbing the piece I.E being drunk in public and chancing after pigs in the street (which slapped you with two weeks of bread and water). The writings and paintings were from students locked up in the joint.

Heidelberg

Heidelburg

Hello Deutschland

Haven't have internet for over a week so heres a breakdown of what happened

Sept 1st- drove to Schwarzanou to visit relatives
Sept 3rd-my laptop broke, lost all 5000 songs but luckily i backed up my pictures.
Sept 5th- drove to Freiburg, moved into my place, its a cool apartment. I share it will 4 Germans and a French girl, my room is giant in comparison to my prison cell from Saugeen and we have a balcony which is cool.

I went on a pub crawl organized by the Uni, had my first experience with a beer garden and 1 litre beers (for the low price of 5 Euros). Went to another pub that looked like a bomb shelter from WWII.

Sept 7th- bought a new Macbook.

Sept 8th-went hiking in the Swarzwald and went out to a few bars.

Sept 9th- went to Heidelburg. It is an amazing city and hosts Germany's oldest university from the 13th century.
