Julien's visit & Crazy weekend

I still try to write some stuff here though it finally takes a lot of time :)
So both for you and I, I will try to tell you about my amazing Weekend as concise and fast as possible !

DAY1 - THURSDAY - THE STORM
After my rugbytraining, I met Julien downtown who just arrived in Frankfurt for the weekend. We went to the riverside of the Main to taste german beer under the sunset and with the nice skyline.

But in 5 minutes, the weather became really horrible !
First cold, then some wind, then the rain and a big hurricane in the end !
We ran hard for 2 kilometers under a real shower to my flat and arrived completely wet :)

DAY2 - FRIDAY - THE SWEATY PARTY !
On friday I went early to work (9 AM :-) ) to leave earlier for some Museum and Visit stuff with Julien who joined me at my workplace to discover my amazing working environment. We visited some modern art exhibition in the afternoon especially a cool one about experimental films through the last century -> Zelluloid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4B8N3oTiUE

We watched the amazingly boring game France/Uruguay in a pub with all my colleagues making jokes about the french soccer team. And after many drinks and a very special dinner at Dany's we went to an awesome sweaty electro student party ! :)

DAY3 - SATURDAY - THE RUGBY GAME !
After some rest in the morning, we travelled with our bike and skate legendary technic to the north of Frankfurt for the rugby game we had been invited to by my coach.
Just to sum it up fast, I had asked on Thursday if I could play the game with Julien "a french friend coming just for the weekend". Max, the coach, has been so nice with us and let us play the whole match at our regular positions !! He even offered rugby clothes to Julien :)

We finally won 44-0 with a try of Julien and with so many nice memories !
The guys both from our team and the other one were just incredibly nice with us ! And we drank some free beer with all the players at the end of the match !


Then we met Anne from the school -spending the weekend in Frankfurt- (She is doing her internship in Praha) and invited both her and Dany for dinner at my place (still without furniture).

Too tired of the previous days, we just add a tiny walk downtown :)

DAY4 - SUNDAY - THE SOFA TRIP !


Last but not least our last day has been the most incredible day since a long time :)
We had only one thing to do transport a sofa on nearly 6kms !

So after some messy technical nodes -done with a rope fortunately lying on the street -> tribute to Julien !- ...

the well known TigerNode !

we finally manage to make our sofa travel through the city !


And along the river, we just had the idea to take photograph everywhere with the sofa in the streets and with unknown people pretexting an art project :-) !

thumbs up !

until we reached my flat:

So much nice memories for this crazy weekend. As a conclusion just enjoy this tiny "photomontage" made with all the pictures taken next to the Main with the sofa !
