Well, somehow Amsterdam is MY PLACE this year ^^
\nI was there in February with these wonderful crazy guys to celebrate Mo’s birthday:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rudi,<\/a>

Rudi, Elena, Mo, Anne und Mel (v.l.n.r.)<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And in April – also just for one night – to celebrate the bachelorette party<\/strong> of my lovely friend Jenny:<\/strong><\/p>\n

And so I was supposed to celebrate New Year’s Eve<\/strong> there as well! :)<\/p>\n

It was a multicultural mixture of people – just the way I love it! :D
\nWe stayed at my swedish friend Marcus place and prepared a great dinner at his wonderful place – an apartment just beside the IJ-Haven. The view: just amazing!<\/p>\n

Maybe I should tell you first how come that I know a swedish guy who lives in Amsterdam<\/strong> ;) Well, when I lived in D\u00fcsseldorf, in 2010, there was one fateful evening when I got to know 2 guys – Filipe und Fredrik<\/a>:<\/strong> a Portuguese guy (or to be exact: 2\/3 Portuguese and 1\/3\u00a0<\/span>Chinese\u00a0^^) and a Swedish guy – who doesn’t look like a Swede at all: dark hair! ;) … And we had a great time – celebrating a lot of crazy Parties. But then Fredrik left – he moved to London. And so Filipe was in need of another swedish guy to join him :D And this was when Marcus<\/strong> entered the stage. ;) … And then there was also Ira<\/strong> – my half-Indonesian half-German friend who joined us. We had a great time together! But then we all broke new ground: Filipe moved to London, Marcus to Amsterdam and I moved to Cologne.<\/span><\/p>\n

So this New Year’s Eve was like a reunion<\/strong> – even if Filipe couldn’t join us.<\/p>\n

… so we had dinner – the «Swedish Mafia»<\/strong> (aka the «three M’s» – Marcus, Markus und Matthias) ^^ my friend Ira, her brother Indra and me. And after that we went to a private Party in the center of Amsterdam. Some friends of Marcus had rent a little Caf\u00e9 just beside the Amstel river. Good music, cozy place, lovely people! We laughed and danced and talked a lot. And had a looot of drinks ^^<\/p>\n
