BAAAAACK AGAIIIINN!!!

Hi guys,

WE ARE BAAAAACK!!!!!!!!! Well, it's kind of the same as it always was!!! New people, new paintings on the wall, but the atmosphere is great!!
The first 2 pics, more to come:


you see, the beer is already there...




And some of the new people (who are all very nice by the way) and Hanjo!

We will probably set up our base here in Blekerslaan, so if you come, just come here...


See you soon and those who are not coming...don't be too jealous.

Christoph

Meeting in Blekerslaan

Hi everybody,

I'm gonna arrive in Groningen thursday afternoon (16:10) and I will go to Blekerslaan then to say "hi" to the new students there and tell them that we might hang around in the living room a bit ;-)

Anyway, James, Tiff, just tell me when you arrive in Groningen and we meet either at Blekerslaan then or I can meet you at Tivoli. Just text me what time and place you prefer, I'll be there.

Ah, by the way...this is where we are...Tivoli is very close to Hanjos place where Frauke, Flo, Lia and I will stay just about 150 meters...and we all know of course, that Blekerslaan is not far either!


I think my dutch number isn't working anymore...use the german one, ok?

See you soon!!


Christoph

Less than a week!!!

Hi everybody,

wow, only about a week to go!!! To see who's gonna be there on which days I launched Excel...here you go:



Taking a closer look yields the following distribution:


Well, you might notice that I was a bit too much involved in all that statistic stuff at university recently...

Anyway! Looks like saturday is the day when all of us are gonna be there!!! So with Frauke and Karen we already have set up a meeting point and time to see Karen and Denise who are arriving on saturday:

Saturday, 19:30. In front of the "3 Gezusters" (I hope you remember that bar...).

But I'm sure we will meet before ;-)

For those who arrive friday: What do you think about meeting at Blekerslaan at noon or in the afternoon?? And: Is anybody else maybe already coming on thursday??? Molly's is waiting for us as I heard...

See you soon!!

Christoph

3 weeks to go...

Hi everybody,

how are you?? Well, I can't wait to just go to Groningen and see all of you. And from a lot of emails from you guys I know you feel the same...

So who are we so far?

For sure:
Flo, Lia, Jaime, Maura, Javi, James, Tiffany and her husband, Karen, Denise, Frauke, Peter, Hanjo, Cheryl

And maybe some more, I'm working on it...

There is a small problem with the sleeping topic. I asked the student manager at Blekerslaan and he told me that he didn't have any room for us...too bad, but well, we should try to find something else then.

Hanjo offered some places on the floor of his appartment for us, some already booked a B&B.
We can try again at the hostel, although I already emailed them and they said they were booked out...anyway, sometimes they don't really know what's happening in their own house...

If anybody still has some friends in Groningen where people could stay or knows some cheap places to sleep, just post it here and let's see what happens...

See you soon and if you have any further questions, just tell me!

Christoph

Some more...

Hey people,

guess who's coming as well...

...right...Tiffany with her husband!!!

And Javi of course as well!!!

So come on now!


Cheers

Christoph

Hey all,

Update - Blekerslaan Reunion 2008

Hey everybody,

last week I put that reunion topic back on the schedule, and I already got some reactions to that as you might have notice in some emails you got during the last days.

So here's some people who told me that they're going to be there:

Flo
Lia
Csilla
Jaime
Maura
Lavinia
Hanjo
Katrin
James
Karen (she told me she's gonna bring Inga with her)
Carlos
Viktor
me
and of course Peter

Some others are still figuring out whether they can come for the whole weekend or just for some days...

So, the rest of you don't hesitate to come as well, I'm pretty sure it will be a fantastic weekend and we will have an awesome time over there.

Cheers

Christoph

Blekerslaan Reunion 2008

Hey everybody,

I made a little mistake in my email to you.
As I know, friday (march, 21st) and monday are holidays in a lot of countries. So I think that date on easter is the best for most of you. If anybody knows a better date, let's discuss that.

I would suggest to arrive thursday (march, 20th 2008) and leave monday (march, 24th 2008).

I might stay a little bit longer, so if anybody is interested in the same, just tell me.


So come on now:

Who is coming?? Where are we staying?? What do we do over there??

Please write down what you think about it, if you want to bring some hundred litres of wine with you or whatever. Here's the place to do it!

Cheers.

Christoph

Antonio comes again!!! five minutes five minutes :)

Hi everybody!!!!

It´s true if nobody writes something, this great webside wont´t work properly cause it needs our contribution. Well I am gonna tell a summary of my life….otherwise you can not survive after telling my whole life hehehe. I am still in the university doing my 3 subjects I have left to finish my career. In terms of work… what can I say… it´d be better if I get a new job cause what I am doing now it´s a little bit boring …. I am doing some administration job…. Which means….be bored all the time hehehe.
I have also really good news about my relationship with my girlfriend. After a long period of problems finally we are now in our best moment since long time. Of course we are arguing sometimes but according to “normal” things into the relationship.
The rest of my life is really good….. I am just trying to enjoy the life as much as I can.
Ahhh, as I suppose you know it was a tremendous disaster in Gran Canaria in terms of fires in the forests. Ohh my god, although I didn´t have any problems I saw too many people suffering cause they had lost everything….. I hope it wont´t happened again.
Well, this summer I ´d like to go out, doing barbecues, going to the beach…. Taking advantages of my student life hehehe.

P.d: Come on people, Christoph needs us to go on with this wonderful idea so don´t be lazy and write something hehehe.

I add a picture of a birthday of my best friend (the biguest guy hehe)

hi to everybody,
to make Christoph happy and to avoid his anger, I will write something as well.
:-)
I'm fine and I became princess with a friend of mine as you can see on the picture.
We got these jewel for only two broken baloons with darts. And because of "some"
beers we keept the jewels the hole night. :-)
When I am not playing princess I go to concerts ("Reel Big Fish" was in Bremen!),
play soccer (and sprained my ankle in march) and go to a real wedding (nobody
of my friends is married until next Friday, I'm excited!). Well, and of course
I study computer science. We have a project with soccer playing robots. Maybe
you heard about Robocup?
A lot of hugs to everybody and tell us what you are doing now. :-)

BLEKERSLAAAAAAN WAKE-UP!!

Here we are guys: it's almost a year since someone wrote somethin on this blog, then
I was talkin with Cristoph on MSN and he was threat me about post something! ehehe..

I'm pretty sure you're all doing great with your stuff, and maybe you're too busy (or lazy, like me!) to write an email, but what about make fresh start with this blog?
Just an update about where you are and what did you do on this year... i start first!

- I moved to Milan to continue my study in Psychology, and in a year and half i'm going to finish..well...maybe somethin more but that's it: i'm takin easy, not stress at all!;-)
- I had the great idea of join the Erasmus Student Network association, and now i'm runnin a section in my University, so i'm still gettin in touch with the wonderful Erasmus world- only one problem: too many Spanish in this city!;-)
- Thanks to ESN, i travelled a lot around europe: Germany, Czech Republic, France...and thanks to ESN i've to spend this summer studing 'cause my last exams were a shit!
- Also if i know a lot of Erasmus Students, my English is going worst and worst: i realized it chattin' with Chema...we understood each other perfectly!
- I miss the Netherlands too much: there was an Internationl Food exibition two months ago here in Milan and i bought 50euro of stropwaffels (not kiddin)

Then here the idea:
What do
you think about a meeting again in Groningen?

with Cristoph we're thinkin about Spring 2008, so we all have the time to plan our trip, but we can also use this blog for collectin ideas about...

(ok relax i'm not thinkin about bring 120 liters of wine again like the previous time!)

Ok guys, your turn...be Blekerslaanians again!

Peace and Love

Luca

Finally, a bit more time again...

Hi everybody,

since I didn't have a lot of time during the last year, I didn't write anything on the blog. But I was kind of surprised ;-) when I saw, that none of you did either...

Same problem? No time for those things anymore???

Well, for starters I will put some pics from the last months of my life, hoping that you'll add something from your lives as well.

If you have any problems with the log-in, just tell me, I'm sure we will manage it again to get you there...even you Carlos!!!

Ok, so enjoy the pics:















Javi went visiting me in Germany!!!





















Flo came to Mannheim.

















Went skiing in the alps with my friends
















Carneval in my hometown with my ex-girlfriend.
















Sailing in Holland in may. First time Flo went sailing!!!



Hope you got a short impression about the last 12 months.

So, now it's your turn...


Big hugs to all and

Viva Colonia!!!


Christoph

The World Was In Germany - A Time To Make Friends!!!

Hi everybody,

first of all: Congratulations to Italy!!!
You did it as Luca said: in 1990 we took the Cup from Rome, now you took it from Berlin. Fair enough!!!

Some impressions from the last weeks, it was really a good time, great atmosphere in the cities...






France












Spain











the World Champions











Sweden













England












Germany













and of course: Holland






And many many others...

See you soon

Christoph

The Pope is German but God is Italian!!!

CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!! CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!! CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!!

and we got it! After 24 years and a whole generation grown up with the myth of Spain '82, we're World Champions again. I think you guys can imagine what happened yesterday night in this country. You know Italians like easy going and party addicted people, but in this situation we got completely insane! Never seen anything like this. Unfortunately i broke my camera a couple of months ago so I’ve only these shitty phone-camera pictures of the night, but I’ll post some picture took from my friends soon.






































And at the end, I'm proud to say that i was prophetic...

"as Luca said: We won the title in Italy 16 years ago, so now Italy has the chance to win it in Germany...Sounds just!"

Sounds totally just, and we got it!
Sorry my French friends, but next time give Zizou some tranquillizer ok?

Now the party will go on for at least a week...what can i say...
THE PIZZA-MAKERS STRIKE BACK! ;-)

Félicitations France!

Congratulations to you Frenchies as well...

Zizou is back and that's good. Hope we're gonna see a nice game on sunday (as I heard from Italy, maybe some Blekerslaanians will be in Germany...so France, what's up???)

Cheers

Christoph

Congratulations Italy!!!

Hi guys,

a very sad day for us yesterday...we lost against Italy and won't be World Champion this time...
Anyway, I wish Italy all the best for the final now!!! Good luck and as Luca said: We won the title in Italy 16 years ago, so now Italy has the chance to win it in Germany...Sounds just!













By the way, the picture was taken some days ago at the last game, when the world still seemed alright ;-)

See you

Christoph
