Slightly more than a day back from the concert tour. Pictures on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=111877&id=84090296535.

Friday.

Everyone's ready at 2pm with bags packed and everything in place. But it turns out that they told us 2pm just so that we wouldn't be late when we leave. AT THREE. So we waited for an hour. Come online + practice.

Nicolas and Thomas's fathers driving us in their 7 seater cars. It's 3 Indonesian students + 2 German students + me. And the rest of course.

Very carsick on the car.

Maybe 5-6 hours later we were in Erfurt. 5 people slept in Mr Karsten Linkies' place in the city. The rest (Stephanus Mum Me Aunt Familie Neef Familie Jagusch) went to Youth Hostel Erfurt to check in and then we walked to an American Steakhouse for dinner. No steaks. Potato and wings. Delicious.

Sleep at maybe 10pm.

Saturday

Wake up following day. Breakfast and then the performers are off to Mr Karsten's place for final practice and lessons etc. Headed to the performing hall to play on the piano before having lunch in the city square with everyone else. Piano is super nice. Very rich and mellow tone.

Met Jeremia Eis who speaks Chinese better than the Indonesian students. Much better.

Went back at 3pm to the concert venue to take photos for the press etc. Skip to after concert at 8pm.

Mad rush backstage to change out of concert clothes and pack everything. Another mad rush to Mr Karsten's place to get all the belongings. Another mad rush to the cars and then we're off to Dresden. Dinner is on the way.

Arrived in Dresden at 12midnight. 5 of them slept at Marc's place and the rest of us at another hostel. Walked all the way to Louise 20 which is admist bars clubs or anyplace where you can find alcohol and drunk people.

Sunday

Wake next day at 9am. Quick shower and we went to Marc's place for breakfast before leaving for concert venue Dresdner Piano Salon. It's a piano gallery. LOADS of pianos meaning LOADS of practice. Concert at 11am.

Another MAD RUSH post concert to pack everything and get into the car. But people kept playing piano here and there (too many pianos!) and we didn't leave until awhile later. Lunch at Chinese restaurant. Even more Cheena than Cheena. Kinda scary really.

Car ride back. Dinner from Nordsee (the German Long John Silvers) along the way. Arrived in Tubigen at 10pm.

THAT'S 3 DAYS!

okay today more or less finished the Weber Concert Piece. 6 more pages!
