crémailler here :) it started at 8 and went on till 1 ! it was great fun ..they had made assorted
dishes and everybody as ususal got something to add to the table a dring a bag of chips
anything. we had a lil dance perty in their house where i made them all dance to DHOL BHAAJE
...! it washilarious..they loved indian moves ..all the hip twisting and gyrating and the arm
movements..they watched salman and aishwarya dance on youtube to the song and exclaimed
over all the drama and expressions and colours ! :) then we danced to a spanish song! the Macarina ! almost 10 of us danced together in unision as the macarina is universal and everybody knows the moves...we had a blast that everning..there is even a video which will be put up soon. that night Dasha said she s leaving for germany the next day ie sunday with2 other friends and asked if i wanted to come along. i said of course!
so on sunday i woke up and at 10 we left for Germany in the friends car. to a city called Frieburg.
it was a 1 hour drive and the weather was much better in germany. sunny :) though lil cold. there
were no borders that said welcome to germany or anything..there was a river
rhin and afterthat germany started. it was exhilarating to think i was already in another country !!

lol:) because ive always been fascinated with visiting as many countries
as i can and though silly having a full passport !! lol :p but unfortunately nobody stamped my passport(damn !) because we went by car.so we walked around the city all morning which was very old and beautiful...the architecture contrast from france was visible very clearly..in france its all very ladylike and quaint...with flowers and lines that flow and have soft edges...however in germany it was all very geometrical and sharp...very edgy..:) i don know if you get the picture...
but it was beautiful nevertheless.they wanted to get a drink so we went into a lil café/bar and i had a pretzle ! or a Bretzle in german..its made of flour and like a doughnut but its harder and its
not sweet but salty..pretty tasty :)
around afternoon we went to a fancy restaurant called Suden for lunch...i ordered for a pasta with tomato..well and then we waited . thats when i realized how very true the saying was that the europeens
love their lunch time and can sit at a table for hours. the foodarrived slowly..and while me and dasha were getting antsy the 2 french guys Reynold and Jean were calm and said this is not fast food..its a
restaurant..they actually made the food fresh and do not defrost.and i had a lovely icecream for dessert called stracciatella with mit sahne or whipped cream..it was yum !
after this we left for the main reason we cameto Frieburg. to visit the minaral hot water spa ! ohh myy godd the best ever ! its called the bad krozingen where bad means bath. so its a huge campus with many many pools of hot water in various temperatures. some indoor and some outdoor.the outdoor pools were all jacuzzi s and were just the best..one was in a circle and it had a current so everyone was getting pro^pelled
around it and there were jets everywhere which massaged. then there was this little pit in which one person could stand and in the hot watter all around were water jets that streamed water from all
directions and massaged your body. the whole area has been created in such a way that nobody will stay in one area for very long and there is constant movement. its not crowded.. for there is so much to do .waterfalls of hot water..a pool of hot bubbles..and then the very best..an indoor pool in which we provided with floaters tubes by whichonly our face is outside the water our whole body and our ears are immersed and this is because only when we are inside the water we can hear MUSIC ! its the most amazing feeling ! the whole room is quiet but when you go underwater or when our ears are inside the water
we hear the most soothing relaxing music. like in HARRY POTTER ! it was magic i tell you. there were various other pools like this and the final one was a pool of water 34 degrees...like a finalé.
so after being massaged and feeling most relaxed we left the spa at 7.20 and on the way back we passed by the hometown of Jean who drove us. its in france , the border between france and germany. a city
called Alsace a littlr town Colmar. it was night but everything was lit up and very pretty. so we walked around for a half hour and then left for Belfort. reached home at 10 :) so basically this is an
nofficial trip to germany and ill go again so i can see the outside of the spa..look around places.
we were lucky dasha s friends spoke german so we din have any problems. its almost impossible to understand or read words. they are soo long that by the time i come to the middle of a word i forget the
forst half. they take the most unlikely alphabets and string it together to make a word. like HAUSBRAUEREI. then yesterday we were at Besançon for another orientation program. an interesting day. the journey to there and back was beautiful as usual...the most amazing scenery.nothing up for today or the rest of the week so far. :) other than ususal classes. however from the 22nd
oct to the 2nd nov we have holidays. and im planing to head to
switzerland for like 7 days but im not sure yet. yet to plan properly.
when it s all decided ill tell u guys.
so thats all for now !
loads of love*
