Wasted Wednesday

Wednesday evening was "wasted Wednesday", as my american flatmate calls it. We had dinner together, also with the girl that lives with us. I had prepared a swiss dinner, with three courses, a very good bootle of swiss wine, and both of them where rather impressed, especially the american guy, who only eats pizza and tomato-sauced spaghetti... poor boy, I really have to do something for him! We ate for two hours, had fun togheter (well, especially the two others as I was cooking, and I can't speak when I have three things on the fire). After dinner, Tyler (the american) suggested that, according to his customs, we went out to have some drinks with some friends of him. I was in a good mood and really wanted to go out in Basel, for I had never gone out before as I never stayed yet on the weekends. The girl stayed at home, and she cleaned the place (we're not really gentlemen :)

We went in a sushi bar in the center, and met 3 other americans (two guys and one girl) and one swiss girl. All of them were from NYC. The swiss girl wasnt saying anything, but kept staring at me, and was blushing when I was speaking with her in swiss-german, I guess she liked me, poor girl... she's going to be rather disapointed :P We had some drinks, Tyler ordered a few cocktails for me because he wanted me to be drunk, but I tried not to becaue when I'm drunk I always do some stupid things, like climbing to trees or wathever... However, after a few cocktails, I was rather "happy"... The americans where nice and agreable, but all they can speak about is the american tv-shows and superbowl (I have no idea what it is, but apparently it must be something with hot guys running on a field, according to what the girl was saying. Is it a kind of soccer or something?). So the conversation was rather limited on my side, I asked if some of them had already travelled around Europe, and one said "yeah, I was in Rome last weekend, it was awesome, and by the way, I ate the best sushis ever!" and I was thinking that it was a bit weird to go to such a city only for two days, and not even try to eat something italian...

We were thrown out a few minutes after midnight, and we went home by foot (the public transports stops to function short after midnight in Switzerland, it a shame!) We were speaking about random things, like the beds we have because they are old and I always wake up with such a backache on the mornings, and he said "I tried the other bed, but the only one I haven't is yours, not yet at least" and gave me a horny smile, but it was just to joke, he brings girls at least once a week in his room. I answered with the same smile "yeah, beware man, I could like it more than what you think" but I think he didn't catch it. He wanted us to have a bottle of bourbon in his room, but I was tired and suggested to drink is this weekend. It's already difficult enough to attend the lessons when I'm sober...

My sister is coming tonight, and we are going out for a drink, and I have another friend coming on Saturday, it will be fun!

By the way, these are some shots of the city (sorry for the poor quality, it was with my mobile phone):

Thanks for the pics.

The superbowl is the championship game in American football. It happens around the end of January.

Superbowl = stupid football game everyone makes a big hoophaw about each year.

I don't know, there was one class I always attended drunk. The teacher was so nervous and neurotic I always had to have a couple shots of vodka from a bottle I kept in my locker on campus before I could go to class. Some classes really are more fun drunk, lol. ;)

Nice pics. Sounds like you are having fun. That is good. Just remember to let that Swiss girl off easy. :)
