Dresden, we meet again
Dresden welcomed me with nice sunny weather. I was really happy to find my friend UTA, who met me at the train station. Apparently, there was a big party going on in town, so all streets in the Dresden Neustadt were full of little kiosks, that
were selling food and drinks, there was live music on every corner, and lots of people walking around. There were trumpet bands, ping pong championships, weird looking cars and other random stuff. Some people, for example, put their
couches in the street and just chilled there, observing the party.
Uta and I walked around, had some turkish food with mojitos, I met her friends - oh how I wish I could speak good German! Or at least understand what they were saying. You feel so helepless, when everyone around you is speaking the language
you don't really know...
After a short nap, I pulled myself out of bed. Afterall, it was a Saturday night! Everything was so surreal. From the moment I left Thailand, it seemed like the day never ended, it must have been the longest day of my life!
I am just gonna say, the party was completely fantastic, that's why I slept the WHOLE Sunday. Although I made an honest effort to get up at 3 and walk around, but my body was on strike - it demanded sleep and rest. And of course, at about 9 PM I woke up, full of enegry...and there was nothing really to do! Uta and I had a very nice brunch and then we rode bikes to the old part of Dresden. I've been here before, but it was entirely different! It was in November, it was raining, the city was under construction and this all reflected in the way I felt. This time it felt like the city was smiling at me :)
After 2 short days, I was on my way to the train station to go to Vienna. And again, something had to happen. The lady at the ticket office took 20 minutes to issue the ticket so I almost missed the train. But that's not news anymore!
