12 Mai The International Dinner!
|
With Specialties from
India
Sudan
America
(where good food is often made at a moments notice-I forgot to get stuff at the store before it closed--only open until 16:00 on Saturday, so I sliced up the apples and orange and made a nice little dessert.)
Turkey
Bulgaria
and various other countries (including the wonderful salad--3rd back--in the picture on the right, made by the Polish girls.)
After the International Dinner, I met with Kurt and we went down to the InnenStadt where there was a Honky Tonk Festival. (In other words, an effort by the clubs and bars in the InnenStadt to get people to come down. Basically, you paid about $9.00, and that got you into most of the clubs without a cover to hear some pretty good music!
We started off at Mulligan's, an Irish Pub that sits down in a cellar which was a storage for weapons during World War 2. Pretty cool place, and I thought this Irish band was pretty good, though the Kellner at Mulligan's thought they had had much better bands in the past.
We then went to Alex am Wall, where there was a band playing classic rock hits. The drummer did a pretty good Joe Cocker impression.
From there we went to Florian, where we caught up with Eva, Martin, and Birgit. Playing there was a band playing favorites from the 1950's (all American music). They were really good I thought!
Then we met up with the Spanish group and Mindy and Brigitte (Wisconsin), so we went to another Irish pub called Fiddler's Green.

Then we went back to Schmizz to dance until we could dance no more! And that we did!
This is the night where we went back to Julius Mosenplatz to find that Mindy's bike had been stolen. Julius Mosenplatz is home to more than 100 bikes at any given time, and hers was stolen. Moral of the story, bikes get stolen in Oldenburg. Buy a good lock, and chain your bike up well whenever you leave it somewhere.
