It was a LEGENDARY Christmas time (Sorry, I’m a lil’ bit obsessed from TV serial “How I Met Your Mother”). After three days running celebration i was exhausted and couldn’t do anything more. On Christmas Eve we had a wonderful dinner with many korean dishes. We cooked Bul Go Gi, Daeji Bul Gogi (Korean Pork Belly), Mandu (Korean Dumplings), Dak Kang Jung (Korean sweet and Crispy Chicken Wings) and Bok Choy. It was successful and delicious, Daeji Bul Gogi and Dak Kang Jung were particularly loved. After having dinner we had an international Christmas eve Mass at KHG (Parish of Catholic University Students)-House. We sang “Indonesian” Silent Night at Mass. As always, after the mass we celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ together with a little feast, wine, punch, cookies, stollen, music, and conversation between us. We went home late at night, I think it was 2.30 am as i went to bed.
8 am in the morning, i was awake already, and went to KHG-House to prepare Indonesian Christmas Celebration at the night, Cooking, Decorating. The preparation took a long time ’til 3 pm. The celebration began at 4 pm with Indonesian Christmas Mass and followed with a dinner. I think, 30 – 40 people took a part on that celebration. After excellent Dinner, that we prepared this morning, there was an entertainment, games named Singing Bee, just like a TV programm in Germany. It was funny, but without audio equipment, it would be a disaster. The equipment was annoying because it took a long time to get those in active. And thank God, after many trial, we could use it and that night was nice. After games, we exchanged Christmas gift between us and at the end of the night Alex and Irene taught us how to do a ballroom dance, like Walz, Cha cha cha, Salsa, etc. I didn’t expect that many Indonesian liked to did this, because we did it until 1 am at the midnight. One more time we should get our home by our foot because there was no more tram available and that night was freezy. Before we went to bed, we got some hot tea and chatted a lil’ bit. I was in bed on 3 am.
This morning was good. I could sleep well and longer then morning before, but exactly on 12 pm at noon my phone rang all the time. All of my friend called me, asked for Lunch. It was many food left from the christmas eve dinner and christmas celebration yesterday. After Lunch we went ice skating, it was funny but cold. It closed our big Christmas Celebration.

It wasn’t a good Running. I could do better than this, although generally i ran faster than i ever did. I ran too fast at the beginning, then I didn’t have any energy for the rest of my run. It took 53 minutes and 54 seconds for 9,9 km.

It’s lil’ bit too late actually, but this occasion was something different and special. We spent our weekend together in a little village at the black forest. At night we made a fireplace and sang together, on Saturday we hiked through the grape plantation to a bigger village nearby. On the way we also picked the grape which hung on the plantation and took a photos for our funny story. Late at night we played together Wii, it was so funny to play the virtual sport. Also I had the opportunity to celebrate my Birthday, it was nice with indonesian food i made even though the chicken didn’t taste as good as i ever made. It was an interesting Weekend. You can see our Photos here.
