Yesterday I visited "Garage" - very popular exhibition of modern art.
I understand nothing in modern art, but it was fun
Big car for migrants, Russian planes (instrument) and chickens and so on.

I arrived at my first host! When I heard, that someone started to open my box, I couldn't wait to jump out of it. I guess, I scared the little turtle Pepita a bit.
She has alredy been here for a while and told me that Katrin, my host, has a lot to do for her university this semester, but she tries her best to write a lot of nice updates.
Here are Pepita and me:

A surpise parcel arrived! It's not another TV, but a package made by students for students. It contains some things which you can use in the lectures.
When Katrin opened the parcel, Pepita and I couldn't wait and crawled into it.
This is what we've found:
a writing pad
a pen
a highlighter
and poster stripes

Look at this mess on the desk! While Pepita and I are relaxing and talking about life in Canada and Russia, Katrin is doing homework and a lot of other stuff. Let's hope that the desk is clean again on Sunday evening...

Reeperbahn, St. Pauli, Hamburg, Germany - 25th November 2009
By: babyamy
Katrin has to go to another library today and since she arrived in Hamburg very early, she showed me some interesting places.
The first place we found by chance: It's the McDonalds restaurant at the station Altona. It looks a bit strange, right? Well, McDonalds has decided to change the background colour of the logo from red to green.
The we took the S-Bahn (a kind of subway) to the station Reeperbahn. It's one of the most famous streets of the world, because it's the city's red-light district. In German it is also called "die sündige Meile" (the sinful mile). During the day it's not really interesting there and don't look different from other streets, but at night it's a total different world. Today there are many clubs and bars and theaters, that's why it's called "party mile", too. In one of the clubs, the Start-Club, the Beatles started their career.
When we walked along the Reeperbahn, we discovered some more interesting things:
A statue of the singer Hans Albers
an interesting wall painting
the famous police station Davidwache
A bar and the theater Schmidt's Tivoli
At the end of the street we could see another statue in the distance, it's Otto von Bismarck. He is a very important figure in the German history. We was the first chancellor of the German empireand he was the one who invented several insurances for the people.
Across the street is the Heiligengeistfeld, a huge field were these days is a huge fair, the Winterdom. Unfortunately it opens at 3 p.m. and it was still 9.30 a.m.
We finally arrived the Hamburg Museum, whose library Katrin wants to use. But we had to spent some time outside because it opened at 10 am.

At the weekend Katrin got a great surprise from her boyfriend: a self-made Advent calendar! There are 24 presents and she will open one each day until Christmas. In Germany Christmas is celebrated on December 24th. It's common for children to have an Advent calendar fillded with little pieces of chocolate, but today there are Advent calendars filled with everything. Katrin says that she used to got a self-made Advent calendar from her parents when she was younger. There were 24 little bags and they were filled with sweets.
