I was prepared to go to Johannesburg but my contract fell through so I ended up going to Dusseldorf. “Happy days, I get to go back to Germany” I though but alas all I did while I was there was college reports and work. I tried some Gluhwein while I was there and that stuff is lethal, its far too easy to drink. I also learned a valuable lesson ‘mit’ means with and ‘ohno’ means without; very helpful when trying to get some alcohol laden Gluhwein.
I think Gluhwein could really take off in Ireland, its ridiculously cold here and a hot alcoholic beverage would be a nice change. I can’t understand why we all crowd into a packed pub to drink ice cold beer when we could be outside with coats and scarfs with Gluhwein. It also means you don’t have to throw coats into the cloakroom *Recession buster tip right there*
Here is a nice recipe for Gluhwein if you want to try it
I’m swamped with college work again (I have 2 reports to complete over christmas and an exam to prepare for) so blogging has suffered badly.
I’m heading back to Dusseldorf for the first week in January, if I’m lucky I might get to go to Sweden soon after, bit worried about potential announcements at work regarding redundancies etc. Hopefully there will be no announcements. In the meantime I have to pass this semester!
