Easter Break

Hi all,

it’s Easter Monday, 8pm ... Easter break is therefore over but it was GREAT.

I hardly studied - not that this is not necessary this term but I needed a break (and I strongly believe I earned it!).

Thursday night
My friend Elissa had a party at her place to celebrate her birthday in particular and Easter in general. She booked a function room in her apartment complex as her apartment is too small for soooo many people. What no-one told her is, that after 11pm no-one can access that room anymore (some kind of security system with the elevators that allow you only to go to the floor you’re living on). So, we had a hard time to move around after 11pm and at about 12.30am security threw us really out … we moved 3 floors down into her apartment (by that time the number of people shrank to a manageable level). Anyway – a GREAT evening!

Friday night
Had Nadja and Fahad over for Nadja’s birthday present – Topfenpalatschinken. We had some great salmon with fruit salad as entrée and then the main, Topfenpalatschinken. Was also a very relaxing evening …

We learned some new cultural things from Qatar, e.g. that for weddings Qatari have stuffed camel which is grilled in the dessert. And that works as follows:
Eggs are boiled and stuffed into a chicken … the chicken is cooked and stuffed into a sheep … the sheep is cooked and stuffed into a camel … and finally, the camel gets on a huge barbie in the dessert (obviously no-one has a kitchen big enough to cook a camel ;)

Saturday night
Went with some of my friends here first to a Wine Bar (Jwow again ;) and then to a Jazz Club where an excellent group was playing … Really enjoyable as well!!!

Sunday night
After an afternoon hike in the Dundenong Ranges with Karen and Najda, we had an excellent, mouthwatering Mauritian chicken-curry at Karen’s place and a hilarious round of Monopoly. Karen won, then Nadja and Birgit … and David and Davide were bankrupt before the end of the game … Haven't played Monopoly in ages and definitely loved it!

Monday night
Meeting at uni for OpSimCom … boring … let you know more in the next days …

Cu
