CEMETERY & SHOPPING DAY

Sounds funny huh?

Well it's kinda cool to have a cemetery like 5 minutes from the place I am going to call "home" for the next year. 

It looks really scary - even in daytime. Loads of peeps are going with their dogs for a walk to this kinda cemetery parkish area. And as my HostFamily got 2 lovely dogs, we (the boys, J (their current AuPair) & myself) went there. I can tell you, it's an amazing place & this old "castle" on the picture reminds me of Tomorrowland.

I'd like to shoot a movie in here or o a photoshooooot!

After walking the dogs, playing around & having a little picknick in the cemetery, I've went to PRIMARK (Oxford Street) to get some typical stuff, which I couldn't fit in my suitcase. 

#1 rule: Do not take many socks, if there is a Primark around. Just go there & buy 5 or 7 pairs of socks for 2 pounds :)

#2 rule: Do not take loads of money with you while going into Primark, as you would like to buy more than you actually need.

#3 rule: BE BATMAN!

FIRST THINGS FIRST... I'M IN LONDON

As the headline says, I have finally moved to London.

It was Wednesday (13/08/2014) when my dad dropped me off at the airport. I was crying like SH*T.
After waiting in the queue I tried to give in my luggage... I got one big suitcase & a smaller one. Both were overweighted! All in all 6 kilos! In the end I didn't need to pay something extra - I think it was because of the fact that I was still crying haha!
After landing & taking the bus to central London, my HostDad picked me up & I almost fell asleep. I mean it was nearly 2am (London time).

Thursday started around 11am. I've prepared the boys breakfast - as they have holidays. After cleaning up the table we went to a local sportshall to play some rounds of badminton & swim some tracks in the local pool.


Exhausting & funny first day in London :)

LAST DAYS IN GERMANY

As this is my very last day in Germany, I am sad & happy at the same time.
I've spend my last week with friends & family, laughed loads & had a lot of fun.

Like this lovely pictures of a delicious dinner at Benjamin's American Diner with my dad & two of his friends. Both of us used to go here like once in 3 months, therefore we needed to go there before I leave. And yeah, I couldn't handle all of this burger or fries :D

 

 

As my mom is on vacation with her Buell in Austria, she couldn't be a part of this. Anyway, she sent me some nice & warm pictures from her daily trip. This was the picture which I liked most.



  

While it was sunny & lovely at my moms, it started to rain at ours. I mean who doesn't like rain...? 
Nobody? Well, taking all I would do by then is taking pictures from the inside :P

Anyway, this is one of the last breakfast I had with my dad & I got kind of used to it this last year. 




BUT as I have like 20 hours left in Germany, I will need to pack my luggage... Not that easy as it sounds like! 
I would love to take XY pairs of shoes, dresses, tops (etc.) with me, but there is not enough space left in my suitcase :/ I WISH I'D BE HARRY POTTER (well... a female version then :D)

His first ever EP will come out august the 15th & will be called "TRXYE". The EP will include 5 tracks - including a overworked version of "The Fault In Our Stars" & will be out worldwide. Troye Sivan loves Lana Del Rey, Lorde & Frank Ocean - therefore his sound will be kind of a mix of all three & a touch of himself. 

My "Track Of The Day" is his first single "Happy Little Pill", which went staight to number #1 in 21 countries at iTunes. His EP "TRXYE" has already topped that as it has a huge pre-order number in more than 30 countries.
"Happy Little Pill" got an emotional sound with melancholic lyrics & a down-tempo electro beat which will let you smile while listening HERE. (click there haha) And check the official music video HERE.

All in all he is a multitalented & lovely guy. If you haven't heard about Troye Sivan yet, go ahead & check his social media pages as Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.

TOMORROWLAND

WHAT CAN I SAY?!?

As you might now, I've been to the magical festival called TOMORROWLAND.
Those 5 days were some adventure I will never ever forget in my entire life!

As we got our bracelets in such cool boxes, we couldn't wait till the 10th anniversary of TOMORROWLAND in Boom, Belgium.

I'm on the left & Nathalie is on the right

We got our bracelets for friday & sunday. The one from friday is just brown & suits to like everything & I am still wearing it :P

Before I went to Belgium, I read loads of blogs about TOMORROWLAND & how much money I should take with etc. Most of those visitors said something like: "Take at least 300€ for food & drinks". Well both of us - Nathalie & I - took like 150€ each with us. Due the fact that we slept in a hostel near by, we didn't need to by food & drinks all weekend from those bars & shops at the venue.
While being there, we used such coins as in the picture below. And in fact we didn't spend more than 40€ each those 2 days :D

10 coins are 20€

 
With those coins you can buy whatever you'd like to eat or dink. This is what I used to eat that friday & sunday. 

After taking a big bag on friday, I chose a smaller one, which wasn't that heavy for sunday. This was what I actually took with me to the venue of TOMORROWLAND. And I can tell, you will be dancing like 7 hours per one day. Smaller bags are better to carry :)

Last but not least, one of my favourite moments of TOMORROWLAND was meeting Klingande. You may know him from the track "Jubel" (2013). Such a nice guy! 

Last but not least, some of my favourite pictures of TOMORROWLAND.
