Wifi free Weichnachten

I am back!!! And finally have internet because I did not have it for more than 9 days. Don't get me wrong, I felt amazing without this facility support, but I did not have the chance to wish

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
GLÆDELIG JUL OG GODT NYTÅR!

to any of you. So I do wish it now! :)
I have spent my precious Christmas in Germany at my Mom's place. It was very nice as always and since she moved to a new place I had a chance to take photos of that neighborhood. But, in a nutshell: Germany is a bit boring at Christmas. Of course, they had all the shiny, glittery, mulled-wine-y stuff, but not as close hyggeness as here. I guess now one point goes to the conto of Denmark.
In the contrary, with the pictures I have taken I tried to focus on what IS nice, extraordinary, or even cozy in the Stuttgart area. Here, what I have found the most beautiful were the chimneys at work. It gives such a nice feeling just looking at the smoke coming out in the sunrise or sunset at wintertime. 
Like this:





Aren't they beautiful? 

Besides, we also explored one of the biggest Christmas tree markets. You can all imagine the scent of pine trees, yummi yummi: strong and fresh, just cut trees!



Even though I am pro no-trees-cut, Christmas is one exception. I like this tradition, and living trees look way better than the plastic ones. In my opinion.
Oh, now I see that I took a lot of pictures! Maybe Germany is not that boring after all? I have tried to examine the street art too (just at my last visit) and found the gems now too. But, I have so much to share, so, I will just put on, and you can browse! :)










Back to the title and the conclusion of the 9 days without internet. Well, some of you might say: That is a looooooooong time, and others might look at me not knowing what I am talking about. But this is a real thing and it was a detox to me as well, although it was not on purpose. I am happy though it happened, because I could see myself how much I can bear without using social media for example, or just surfing without limits, or if I am bored what are the possibilities in an empty house.

1, Now, you can always draw. Even if you suck at it. Just doodle!
2, Are you hungry? It is time to prepare a meal you have never tried before! Especially if it needs time to prepare!
3, Play games! I am not talking about drinking games here(well, could be), but card and board games are always handy! 
4, Give up and go for a walk :)

See you next year?

Concrete! Beton!


I was waiting the moment to capture the process of these concrete block's insert into the pavement and here we go! As Aarhus is going to be the Cultural Capital of Europe next year, the commune is really working on the advertisement. I have to admit, I really like these blocks, they are so cool!

Már alig vártam hogy láthassam, ahogyan lerakják a járdákba illeszve ezeket a betonkockákat az Aarhus 2017 felirattal, ugyanis jövőre bizony Aarhus Európa Kulturális Fővárosa lesz. Én imádom ezeket a járdalapokat, szerintem királyul néznek ki! Legközelebb hozok egyet haza ;)

Danish women

I guess in advance that this topic will receive both a lots of pros and cons but I am willing to face any arguments here. I do it with a pleasure indeed, just like Danish women are ready to face arguments  in their everyday lives too.
Okay, so, I for a long time now have been observing and finding the answer for that question/topic which is:

What makes Danish women so attractive?

I intentionally did not use the term beautiful because I think their secret of "beauty" is more within their attractiveness or appealing. Saying that, I found out what really makes them unique or attractive is that they are SELF CONFIDENT TO THE EXTREMES!!! Meaning of: Danish women do not give a shit about everyone else's opinion about their femininity or women-likeness. They are confident in their bodies, even though they do not fit into the so called "shape trends" aka the Western world dictated fashion in sizes. They are really fashion forward though, but they do not accept anyone tearing them down saying they are "not enough", "not feminine enough" not "cool enough", etc. 
It comes from the childhood and the way they were brought up; Danish environment in general is very self centered (not narcissistic!) and based on equality also when it comes to sexes and genders. Yet, for me, when I first came here, a not so self confident girl from a not self confident at all country (yes, Hungary is beyond low at embracing femininity) I have found it really attractive how Danish women behave and their laid back, cool, positive attitude really got me. 
I know, for most of the men it is "straight blond hair, blue eyes, sleek body, always work out, nice make up, etc. , but from an other perspective, I think it is coming from the inside. 
Moreover, I know really ugly looking Danes. Women who do not have an outside beauty in any way. Of course,  I know, I "should not" say that because "every woman is beautiful in a way" bah blah blah blah, BUT I do not believe in that. 
What I do believe in,in fact, is what comes from inside and what factors makes a woman a good woman.
Here I am not going to talk about the power of make up and a new cream which is going to give your youth back when you are gross, old, chubby, etc. What I am going to talk about here is kindness. Empathetic. Real. Motivated. Has morals and acts as she says. Listens. 
Danish women, au contraire, or as far as I got to know them do not have all these "women like" features I listed about. Or do they? Of course, I also aware that I should not generalize but in a way, Danish families are quite the same since the basic social system. ( I tried not using the word socialists). 
So, back to track: how on Earth is it possible for instance that this woman is so beautiful?

This is Mø. A very popular Danish singer. She is a woman.

Yes, her voice, but beyond that. What makes her beautiful? Her attitude? Her way of treating people? Her style? The message she is representing? 
Mø is real to me. I do not say she is beautiful because beauty based on pillars of aesthetics but now contrary again: is it only an opinion? 
Maybe I should not use a common media figure as an example. Media cheats. Bad media. 
BUT.
What I am trying to figure out and start a conversation about is: how can be someone be beautiful without being beautiful? To me, it is really interesting. I know many women and when I say I know them I mean I know them from head to toe and inside and out. Danish, and internationals. Many of them are not meeting the aesthetic standards. But they are beautiful, real and women to me because they ACT like a woman, they THINK like a woman and SLEEP like a woman.
I believe in genders and I also believe in equality. How is it possible in a world when we are going towards the androgynous human preface? (Here, if someone does not know what androgynous means: having both feminine and masculine features). 
In Denmark it is possible to be a woman(in western society) without treated as a woman (in eastern society). 
And this is cool. 

I like the way I am treated here as more of a person but having believed and stored my own feminine features.

And this is amazing.
Thank you Denmark.

NB: All of us should learn from Danish women! They also have a lot to learn from us, but self confidence is what they truly embrace. 

Amen.

Dear Santa,

Yesterday was the official "Mikulás day" in Hungary; the day, 6th of December, when Father Christmas came to the children and put goodies into their (nicely polished!!!) boots. 
I remember how excited I was every single 6th of December's morning: just rushing into the window where I had my boots and it was filled with Smarties'Santa (my favorite), oranges and lots of peanuts. Those were the worthy times and sometimes I wish to have them back. 
In this year, the Santa did not find him in Denmark! Well, I have not cleaned my shoes or put them into the window either: maybe this was the reason behind? At least, I have not been that naughty this year in order not getting anything, right?
Today, with one of my friends decided to make the tables turn: if Satan Santa is not "coming to town", WE ARE going to find him instead with all of our wishes!
You got it write: we wrote two letters including what we wish for this Christmas with my sweet friend Rasmine while eating Brunkager. (Having all the gingerbread was Rasmine's next year's wish, so...) :) 
Here is my letter in Danish. (Because practice, practice, practice!!!)


'Dear Santa,

If you can listen, I would like to have a very nice Christmas eve with my family in Germany and also a Christmas tree with decoration on it. As well, I have to write an exam in January, so can you tell Morten, one of my teachers to give me a grade 10 or 12? Dear Santa, I was good I think and wish all the things I wrote you all above.
Best regards, 
Kate'



Rasmine wrote about 'Worldpeace' and food for everyone. I think she wrote it better, but she also wants to eat the World's ginger bread stock, so what will remain for the hungry? :)

It was so much fun writing to Santa this year (just after handing  one of our exams in) and think about all the merry times I had when I was a child...

Happy Julemand!

Baby plants - Növénykék

Since arrival, I am a mother of now 7 plants whom I really proud of. Some of them were saved from the dumpster, some I have bought here and the other I planted myself. They all live in my window in peace; each time I look at them I feel proud and they fill my heart with calmness.
Why is it good having at least one plant in a room? What are the benefits of having something green in an apartment? Well, the answer is because plants will totally pay off the care! Besides... They are amazing! They grow in front of your eyes, they have nice smell (some of them do) and they are grateful if you water them and put them in the light. They not only absorb the sunlight, but reflect on your personality; how caring you are and they reward you with their beautiness.
As I said, each of them has their own story. For example, two of my basil were found in the dumpster, half dead and screaming for help. It needed time to heal them, but they are safe and sound now, blooming and "greening". My very first plant, indeed, is from IKEA; a mainstream and cheap draecena that actually grew a lot! Also, he is in my favorite sparkly pot I bought in the nearest second hand store. The succulent? Yes, one of my favorites from a festival in Mejlegade: when I bought her she was a tiny succulent resting in a small pot, now it is a lovely female who has two children next to her in an other plantation! How beautiful is that? :)
I have a confession though.
When I was younger, I did not really care about my own plants at home. It was always my mother who watered them and took back to the house when the temperature was low, but next to me they would die. This spring, however, when I was home in Hungary and was just planning to come to Denmark, I paid more attention to the nature and to plants. They really changed my point of view about nature and nurture - two expressions around us, evolving and supplementing.
I realized of the process of watering and taking a look each time at my plants that life is really within us! Life can be improved! You, with a small attention, can make life and give the opportunity to the nature to grow and grow...It really helped me when I was pessimistic for instance: I can see growth in others, therefore I could improve growth in myself.
Ladies and gentlemen living in Denmark (or all around the World)! I highly encourage you to get a plant and nurture it! It can be a small flower, a herb, a succulent, a cactus or anything, really!
Sharing is caring - caring is life saving!




Krysse



Draecena



Aloe



Basil



Succulent


Baby succuli

Érkezésem óta 7 növény boldog anyukája vagyok. Némelyikük a kukából lett kimentve, valakit én ültettem, és olyan is van, akit természetesen vettem. Mindegyiküket imádom és az ablakomban növekednek napról napra. Szeretem nézni a folyamatot ahogyan mindük változik vagy éppen a Nap felé hajladozva táplálkozik. Története is van az összesnek: a dracéna az IKEÁból lett véve (ez az első növényem itt Aarhusban), a bazsalikomok követték, akiket már kókadozva vettem ki a kukából. A szukkulens az egyik nagy becsben tartott kedvencem: kicsi szemérmes korában vettem egy növénykiállításon, egy fesztiválon szeptemberben. Átültettem, és azóta már két kisfiúval is büszkélkedhet, akiből az egyik már gyökeret is eresztett! Wohoo! Az aloe egy legutóbbi vásárlás eredménye; ő még most illeszkedik be a miliőbe és barátkozik. :)
Be kell vallanom, nem voltam mindig ilyen nagy növénybarát. Otthon, még Magyarországon édesanyám gondozta a növényeimet, felőlem nem nagyon maradt volna életben egy sem. (Ahogyan sokáig nem is maradt). De szerencsésen kinőve a sötét középkort (értsd: kamaszkort) ráeszméltem a növények fontosságára és arra, mennyire kifizetődik a velük való törődés. Tulajdonképpen egy egész személyiségrajzot kapunk az emberről ahogyan a növényivel törődik. Erre ez a tavasz világított rá, akkor még otthon vigyázgattam a növényeimre, és tudva hogy idejövök Dániába, mindenképpen tudatosan gondoltam arra, hogy itt is folytatom ezt a folyamatot. Ez igazán büszkeséggel, reménnyel és boldogsággal tölt el még a nehezebb napokon is, ha ránézek a növényeimre és látom fejlődésüket ÉS azt hogy ezt nekem köszönhetik: az én törődésem eredménye. Azt hiszem, ez egy új lépés a felnőttéválás felé. Tehát mindenképpen buzdítok mindenkit arra, hogy szerezzen be legalább egy növényt a szobájába vagy lakásába és szeretgesse, táplálgassa. Ez fontos. Jót tesz; jót teszel!

Motivation, self-esteem, school and changes - The true cost of living in Denmark

This article, I can promise, will be no lack of honesty. Indeed, in this diary section I will talk about those things in the title with many more included explicitly written with the harsh truth. Or even the ugly truth.
First, I have to mention that this expose was highly inspired by one of my fellow classmates. I will not intend to mention his name, but his story among many other stories I discovered in this very ugly weathered Denmark recently. 
Motivation, you name it. A greatly overused but often underestimated and misunderstood word that catches our eye every time on media sites. We know, we have to be motivated in order to achieve success; to achieve our goals (what?) ourselves (what?) and keep us going on the "great path of LIFE". (WHAAAAAAT???)
In the word, motivation, there is movement, motives (moving figures) showing a process along a way. But really, what is our way? Any ideas?
This guy, who I had the conversation with told me that he is lack of motivation and he does not know what he really wants do to in his life. He, when telling the story, just as many others, seemed very clueless and even apathetic. 
I remember, when I moved to Denmark 4 years ago and started my life, my school, my blog, I had solid thoughts what I really want to do, who I want to be and what I want to achieve. Of course, shortly after, everything blew off - when I realized I was unsatisfied with the school I chose, I was helplessly asking myself the following questions: 

"Who am I? What am I doing here? Why do I do that? Why am I not motivated enough? Is it really what I want to do?"

Back then, with all my honesty here, I was totally demotivated for a while. As the feeling emerged, I felt like these questions and all the things I was sure about with all my mature self (yeah, 19 years old is fucking mature, self high five, Kate...) made NO sense, and I had to find out what to do next to survive and to find the motivation that kept me going. Indeed, I had very bad days, I cried overnights, I felt alone (even though I was not alone with my problems) but mostly: I did not know how to solve my problem. Because, and this is an important part here: being demotivated is NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. It is only a problem that has to be solved. 
I know, it is not easy living in Denmark, trust me my dear readers. I have been, as I wrote about them lots of times, in really difficult situations in this very country. (Remember : at that time, there was no SU for international students, so I had to work hard for the money I could drink off). 
Coming to that, to the finding of the GREAT BALANCE (ie: mission impossible) between school, social life, Danish integration, changes, classmates, customs, different food, finding job, accommodation, job, cheap stuff, homework, blahblah really tires us and sometimes we find ourselves like Frodo in the spiderweb in the LOTR3. Yeah, I think it greatly represents all my feelings when I feel lack of motivation and even depression. But you know what? Frodo survived, AND was able to finish his mission after all. Was it easy? Not at all. Was he lonely? Well...
This is the other thing makes us suffer and poison our souls here in the great Danish flatness. This is the topic no -one talks about, but sweep under the carpet when it comes to talk about how many internationals choose this and that study programs and why we love being here. 
The truth is? Bullshitty - a bit.
The harsh truth is, we often feel inevitably and deeply LONELY. This is why most of us "choose" or use as a survival tool smoking weed, taking drugs, being workaholics, overeating, alcoholism, sex addiction, the list goes on. These things, unfortunately, strongly connected to the true cost of living in Denmark as a foreigner student. Therefore, feeling alone makes us find other sources to find ourselves (our motivation?) but people always forget one very important thing in this story: 

WE ARE NOT ALONE!

We are not lonely! We can be alone - meaning of the individual and chosen form without human surrounding, but think about it: are we alone with our problems? Of course not! 
I can say that I have lived in a quite few places here in Denmark, knowing quite a few people and understood their behavior when they have felt lonely. The thing is: self-degradation and self pity is not helping! 
Do you know, my people, how many of you have the same story? Do you know, that your neighbor, your colleague at school you write your project with ,is under the same shit as you are? You are, my dearests, are not fucking alone!!! Great opportunity is, therefore, sharing and understanding each other stories can make our lives much easier. We are not alone, because most of us face the following obstacles every single day: homesickness, lack of money, lack of time, lack of job, sucking at shitty job, lack of sleep, missing friends, missing home country and so forth. 
If we understood and acknowledged the problem we can change our situation for the better: talking to each other and help each other in difficult times.

LISTEN, LOVE, BEING EMPATHETIC, FORGIVE, AND DO NOT JUDGE!

So, summarizing my, sometimes hard to follow speech about this whole Danish clutter: even if you feel demotivated and lonely, there are good times are coming. Never forget: this is not a bad life you are living, it is only a problem that has to be solved. You are never alone! Ask for help if you are in need, do not close your doors from people who are here to help you. 

If, after all you still feel terrible after this or any day, remember: 

Brunkager (danish gingerbread) is only 11kr in Netto. 

It is sweet. Saves the day. ;)

Bye, vi ses!

Snow and falling - Hó és bukás

Today in Denmark we woke up for a pure white scenery (now it is melting, fortunately) and for some other news too. The snow is my smallest concern in this case. Of course, I hate the feeling that it is only November and the snow is already showing its presence.
Make America Great Again! - was the slogan of the now president Mr. Grump  - an elected businessman without any experience in field of governing or politics or what so ever. Indeed, he would grab pussies and kiss every women's lips. At least, that is what he said.
When I started this blog I had an agreement with myself by never mentioning politics or write about it. But today I felt the urge to do so. It is not just the anger, disappointment and shock but the famous Einstein quote circling around in my head:

"TWO THINGS ARE INFINITE: THE UNIVERSE AND HUMAN STUPIDITY; AND I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE."
(Albert Einstein)

Now, in Denmark I want to believe that we live in democracy. At least, comparing to Hungary it is a much more democratic and peaceful country and now I do not want to go into details such as the level of antidepressant consumption and alcoholism. The thing is, people like to live in peaceful environments! And what America brings now it is lots of passive aggression (soon extremist aggression, if I am to predict) WITHOUT being democratic at all. Because how does democracy work? It LET people use their voice AND understand the voice of others!
Now this whole thing is really fresh, all the results of the election...but what about the 100 first days? What will we perceive in Europe from this "event"?
I am hoping for the bests. Today I wanted to write about the life of snowflakes but instead I had to spend my precious minutes on grumpy Grump. 

I am going back to my shelter, my own world and continuing creating value. And being myself.




Ahelyett, hogy gyönyörű hóesésre keltünk volna (arra keltünk, csak) gyorsan bekormozta az örömöt valami más.  Például az, hogy Grump nyerte a választást Amerikában. Egy marketingember, aki nem csak radikális nézetei miatt népszerű, de még perverz is. 
Amikor elindítottam ezt a blogot, megfogadtam magamnak, hogy politikamentesen fogok írni mindenről itt, de ezt az eseményt nem hagyhattam szó nélkül. Miért? Mert mindannyian valamilyen szinten, itt Dániában is érdekeltek / befolyásolva vagyunk általa. A média, amit ma néztem és a politikusok, szakértők is ki vannak akadva, rá van az emberek arcára írva, ez egyértelmű. A győztes párt résztvevői pedig vörösképű fogyatékos tudatlan(nak tűnő) emberek. Ezeket mutatják a képek mindenesetre. 
Én nem vagyok a politika híve, csak akkor szeretek politizálni ha értelmes emberekkel tudok beszélni róla. Ami a mostani helyzetet illeti pedig beszélni kell róla! Tudunk valamit tenni most itt Európában? Kérdésünk. Nem. Csak várni és egy forró ölelést váltani azokkal, akiket szeretünk.

"Két dolog van, ami végtelen: az univerzum és az emberi hülyeség. Az előzőben pedig nem vagyok biztos."

Julemarked i Godsbanen - Retro edition

Halloween is over - and I did not find any cheap Jack O'Lanterns in the shops for sale! Never mind, I was like, I will go for treasure hunting for something else!
Yesterday, we had, so far, THE WORST weather in Aarhus this autumn. The wind was mind-blowing (literally blew my mind out of my skull) and I the rain shower washed all my sins off while I was cycling. I had to go to the city obviously because why not, and all the regrets chased me until...
I discovered the RETRO CHRISTMAS MARKET in GODSBANEN! I happened to be there by accident, and when I saw that something was going on, I had to enter that place. All cozy Christmas lights, figures, decorations and more were seen from the window, and I was just standing there like a 6 year old child waiting for the Mommy in the parking lot. The entrance fee, indeed, was 30dkk and I since I am a student and rather buy 3 pairs of socks or bread for two weeks for this price, I had to figure out how to enter the magical Christmas fair. Fortunately while I was hanging around the hall of Godsbanen I found an entry bracelet seemed unused, and I took a chance to get in. What do you think, did it succeed? Yes, of course, I am Kate is Coming, and I am coming everywhere!!! :)
So, I entered the wonderful yet grandma smelled retro bazaar and started gazing with my chins down. Everything looked so nice, old things renewed, perfect Saturday atmosphere and a lots of things you definitely do not need to your home, but you want to own. All of them!!!
Here it how the venue was:



So many things!!!


...and...


...even more things, stocked!!!...


"P" for ...


So retro! Figurines...


Nutcracker in the limelight


I have no words for the retroness of this picture

What I can definitely add, that Christmas market totally make you forget your autumn depression as well as empty your well saved money. But come on, who cares when it comes to giving our precious love to everyone else? It is (almost) Christmas time! Time to Glögg, time to chill, time to feel the holiday spirit. Amirite?

Advice of the month: Visit as many winter markets as you can! It makes your heart beats faster and your mind wiser. Hear from me next time, keep in touch!

Halloween pumpetition - Halloweeni tökkiadás

Every single year Denmark surrounds herself with Halloween decorations starting from May (well, almost do not worry, the Christmas decorations are already in stores, you will not miss anything). This year, for that occasion, I wanted to surprise you and myself with a super duper article about Halloween customs, witches, parties and some more cool and typical Danish stuff. INSTEAD, I have found a much cooler way to represent this over over overrated tradition (which has nothing to do with Danish culture anyway.) We do celebrate it, because there is discount on beers and candies. Orange decoration in the shops and nice candles with skull designs. We, students need these small treats.
So between two projects and a massive headache I decided to put my scarf on and just go to the see for a blessing. I really needed that walk, just by myself to puff out all the negativity, and meanwhile...
I have found Risskov's perfect pumpkins! The PUMPKINGs, so to say of Aarhus. The first couple was friendly:

They tried to be spooky, but they stayed just adorable

As I was walking along the posh street of this area, it seemed like, some pumpkin competition went along the neighbourhood.  A proper PUMPETITION! ( I just made up this word. Yeah, I know.)

Other peeps, just like you, were seemed to be angry:


(Maybe some project going on? Or a cat peed on him?)

Chilling with another dude in your mouth is totally cool though:


(I give credits to the perfect contrast of the blue bench)

Group selfie, anyone? 


Batman, Captain America and...no clue about the third superhero, but nicely carved!

You can be sly, cool, or fierce, but never own a place like this pumpking:


Ready to be scary

I can guarantee, these triplet enjoy the party nights, just like you do:


Exhaustion, and some vomit added

Last but not least; on a beautiful Sunday morning we wake up like this:


Because we like to laugh at this beautiful autumn weather in Denmark. Kidding, of course.

Thumbs of for all the families who carved these masterpieces and take their time to cooperate to my blog. It was so much fun going to private gardens and yards in order to get the perfect pictures for you! :)




Minden egyes évben, már majdnem májustól elkezdődik itt Dániában a Helovinre készülődés, és mostantól már a karácsonyi cuccokat is be lehet szerezni a múlthéttől. Nem, meglepő, nagyon hamar elkezdődik itt az emberek kivásárlása a pénztárcájukból. De mi imádjuk a Helovint, és pontosan ezért készítettem Nektek ezt a kis fotóalbumot kedves és nem annyira kedves, de annál inkább szépen kifaragott tökökkel. Itt Risskovban rengeteg volt (igen, szuper gazdag környéken lakni, már ezért is), ezért kaptam kedvet megörökítésükhöz. Pont egy sétámon voltam, amikor észrevettem mekkora trend óriási tökcsodákat csinálni itt Dénmárkban; remélem tetszik a végeredmény, itt a blogon ;)


Have a happy Halloween and amazing parties!!!

Őrületesen jó Helovínt kívánok mindenkinek!!!

SPECIAL Germany Edition - Holiday trip!!!

Finally, I have time now, the last day of the precious autumn break, and here I am, sharing my memories with you on my autumn vacation spent in Germany. I was so looking forward this trip not only because I could see my mother, but to chill and be away from Denmark. For a while. :)
The journey started easily, I was with one of my friends, Julia who is apparently from Stuttgart! We booked the ticket together long time ago and literally counted the days back. Both of us felt the urge to go, and we were in the move! When we have arrived after a long flight in the evening in Stuttgart, my mom was trying to take a star photo from us. Well...It happened like this:

Julia and Kate
Danish study stars have arrived! :)



The got together with my mom was unforgettable! I was really tired but still felt the power of love!

And now about the city she lives in : It is actually a small town near Stuttgart. A totally farmer town!!! In fact, after a pro-urbanized Aarhus experience that was all I needed: lands, horses, cows, smell of horsepoo, and:

YODA!!!!!! Yep, thats right: This was the statue welcoming me off the train. YO freakin DA!

After this half shocking half cool view I went straight to bed and slept almost 10 hours. It was worth it.
The following days spent with shopping (Germany, I love you, honestly, the food is so cheap!!!), sightseeing, horse (cuddling, touching, hugging, adoring) and meeting interesting people on the train. Here, I took some photos about strange things too (you know, this is my favorite part) and you will see explanations below. Here:
Nr.1.:
 Okay, Copenhagen street in Stuttgart. Not so strange. But in the background? It is the state library looking like a freakin jailhouse!!! Don't believe? Watch this:

I mean, Dokk1 is far the bests, but this one??? You would've never guessed it is a library!!!

Strangest thing ever Nr.2.:

Well...you know the stories of how children born, right? In Germany, this is the way! 

Nr.3.:

Feel old yet? This is the 21st century Stuttgart. Yes, you have heard it right.

Nr.4.:

I mean, this sticker was in front of a medical institution for elderly people. In. Their. Face.

Nr.5.: 

Dissatisfaction is everywhere...System is underlined, hahahahaha!

Nr.6.:

Measuring walking speed in town. The speed limit is 30kmh and I am wondering ever reaching 10? :)

Nr.7.:

Crazy pumpkin paradise - it is actually a trend in Germany now to buy these. Ahhh.

Nr.8.:

Okay, fair enough, it is pretty cool. I really like graffiti's so I had to include this gem in this library. 

This was therefore my short trip to Deutschland with all of it's strange and beautiful  moments. I ate a lot of amazing food (lots of fish included), was travelling hours by the local train, visited my favorite art book stores in Stuttgart, was able to spend quality time with my mom and also make friends with the local pony's. All in all, I am really thankful for the time and looking forward a new experience like this! 
Follow my blog - next article is coming soon! 

Cheers!!!
