"Progulka" with Sasha in Nordhausen

My only holydays this summer were on the YMCA-Europe-Festival in Prague where I was a volunteer in the translation group. However I managed to take some days off before the festival to visit my friend Sasha. You saw her on some of the pics from Russia allready, as she was one of my best friends in Nizhny Novgorod. Right now she is working as a volunteer in a small town in Germany (Nordhausen). So I absolutely wanted to see her, since she is so closed now. Even if it isn't that closed thinking in a swiss way, as it took me about 9 hours by train to get there...but still. I made a stop on my trip to Prague to spend 2 days in Nordhausen and we really had a great time together.
We spent a very nice evening under a bridge next to a small river, together with the other international volunteers, a bottle of very good red wine and a guitar :-)
Sasha and me, remembering our evenings in Russia, just really felt like dancing, so we started to dance in the river , what was a lot of fun. :-)
At some moment all the volunteers living with Sasha got really tired...but we still decided to go on the party, and so left for some students pub. This second part of the evening however wasn't as nice as was the first. The next day we had some walk around the town and went swimming in a small nearby lake. Then we decided to coulour our hair with henna, so that's what you see on the last picture. Was fun as well. This evening it happened to be the town-festival, so there was a typical german party in the old town. Lot of beer, lot of drunken men and some pretty bad german schlagers. Anyway it was just so typical german, or at least how we see germans in Switzerland, it amused me a lot. :-) The pictures of this second night in Nordhausen you see them in the next post.
