We took Ryan Air from London to Zweibrucken, Germany. When we reach Zweibrucken Airport, there were no buses, taxis or any sort of public transportation to get to the city. The buses were on strike and taxis are usually on call. So, for awhile, we were clueless. And we began walking for miles, tugging our luggage along. Though it was sunny, thank God, the constant breeze was cool and it made those walks a pleasure. So, the reason why we were in Zweibrucken in the first place was because Oliver wanted to shop.*Gasp* For once, he actually initiated shopping. In Zweibrucken, there is a huge Designer Outlets which has some of the well-known brands such as Esprit, Mango, Nike and et cetera. So, after walking for about half an hour and with the help of the signboards along the way, we finally reach the Designer Outlets and off we went shopping or more like, Oli went shopping while I just tagged along.
After a few hours and a few shopping bags, Sonja (Pronounced as So-nia) fetched us and drove us back to Kaiserslautern. Journey took about an hour. By the time we reach Kaisers, it was already dark. So, I finally got to see where Oli lives for the past two years. It was in a student apartment. Space was scarce but still comfy. Was introduced to Eriko-Chan and of course, Nicholas, Oli’s friend from TAR while he was in KL is also staying with him now.
After a breather, we were set to meet a few of Oli’s friends in the city for dinner.

That was the only nice picture we had that night. After a fulfilling dinner, we all went back home and got a good night sleep.
The next day, woke up early to go to Church. Oli needed to practice since he led the worship team that morning. Again, met a lot of Oli’s friends from church. Everyone was nice and friendly. After church, I think (well, it was awhile back and I had to recall), we went back home, made lunch and it was just a free and easy day. Come evening, we prepared some dishes as the church was having pot luck dinner at Pastor Drew’s place and the theme was Asian Night. It was a fun night, we hand made sushi-s, dinner was great, everyone were talking to each other, we played poker and even though I was new to the game, I played fairly well.
Here are some pictures from the night:-

Anyways, I’ll write about Heidelberg next but don’t know when. I’m so bogged down with work right now it’s not even funny. But oh well.
