i am not american so i have no idea why i was so excited to go to the american chain store walmart! laceys boss decided to cross the border on saturday and go to singen germany and invited sara and i along! so we of course came along for the ride and had a ball!!
well after a 1 hour trip AND getting our passports stamped we arrived at walmart.... think k-mart but better! oh my god they had everything and it was all so cheap! i myself went nuts as i do in any shopping centre. everything in switzerland is so expensive and thats assuming they have the brands you want so when i saw things like my hair gel, pantene, schwarzkopf, etc i had to buy it all!! i also invested in some good german chocolate and .... embarrassing i know but some pants too! i never thought i would be such a tight arse but when your earning 200 francs a week, you learn to budget and buy things that are cheap!! so now i have some summer pants and lacey and i also got matching tops for night time!! twins!!
so after our fun adventure we all slept at laceys house on saturday night after a few to many glasses of prosecco and a really good dinner that we all cooked of spatzli and chicken and creamy sauce. i must say sara is a good chef. sometimes i have trouble boiling pasta! lacey also made us american oatmeal cookies so i really did feel like a US citizen on saturday!
that night also we witnessed a lunar eclipse! wow! i have never seen this type of thing before so it was amazing for me to watch the moon slowly be covered by redness. luckily the sky was clear that night but although it went for about 6 hours we just watched the last bit of it because it is still bloody freezing here in zurich!
sunday was also a good day as we finalised our plans for triberg (a little town in germany) so i will be going there next weekend to eat lots of black forest cake!!
all in all a fun weekend and it was so good to spend it with my friends. weekends are still probably the hardest for me becuase that WAS the time that i spent with my family and also when i caught up with all my friends so it is nice to have friends here and see them on the weekend too! lacey and i are a little concerned too about when all our friends go home so we will start some networking soon hopefully!
bis spater (see you later)
