Hamburg, DE | 28. April

[young moss]

Oh and I'm making some bracelets

HELP

Hi zebs

[odd trout]

Omg thats so Cute

[median linden]

hii hope 😭

[young moss]

Maybe a cross stitched smiley face of I can get ot done

[young moss]

Hru?

[buoyant stump]

In terms of gifts it will also be useful to have the answer of what other things the venue does not permit to be taken into it 😅

[odd trout]

I did a bracelet too for him 🥺

[median linden]

i‘m doing good just kinda panicking for gifts i have to prepare 😭 hruu?

[buoyant stump]

I'm not making/getting gifts, there are too many people and it would just get overkill 😭

[young moss]

Tired but excited to see sab tonight

[young moss]

I think we were talking specifically for josh

[odd trout]

Yes 🙈

[median linden]

AHH have so much fun 🫂 & i hope you can take a nap after!!

[young moss]

But also i am bring gifts to hand out to people 😭

[buoyant stump]

I know that most did, but still 😭

[buoyant stump]

I know 😭

[odd trout]

Youre so cute girl

[young moss]

Not all of it you don't 😏

[buoyant stump]

I guessed one part at least 😭

[median linden]

i can imagine the feeling in front of the venue being like christmas if everyone is gifting each other something or standing there with gifts for josh 😭

[buoyant stump]

The only gift I am thinking of for Joshua is a print out of my drawing of him as Wiccan, but idk if I will do that 😅

[young moss]

Yes the more exclusive part 😭

[young moss]

YOU TOTALLY SHOULD

[odd trout]

I have as gift a hoodie wich i Design

[odd trout]

Do it

[buoyant stump]

We'll see 😭

[buoyant stump]

Wouldn't be surprised if the less exclusive part was something something sunflowers

[young moss]

I guess you'll have to wait and find out

[odd trout]

I'm really curious now

[buoyant stump]

I thought about making cake, but that wouldn't have been realistic with how many people are there and me having to travel there 😅

[young moss]

😭

[odd trout]

New fan project for Hamburg!

https://twitter.com/heartbreakfades/status/1645535109343481869?t=VBV6oqdUmz0jDY2Wy3y4fQ&s=08

[young moss]

@buoyant stump did you decide on a song for your project?

[odd trout]

Well i know that at Finally free and Heaven is you are projects

[young moss]

Dry has one but last I heard hadn't decided on a song. I have my own poster for All In Due Time but it's not a fan project

[grizzled bear]

If theres more people then yes

[odd trout]

Okay i have the Same thing for life line

[odd trout]

@buoyant stump have you already a Song for your project?

[buoyant stump]

The nervousness is starting to set in so idk anymore if I will even do it anymore 😶

Because handing out the signs means I'd have to talk to strangers 😶

[odd trout]

I Can help you with that bc i spontaneously make a small gift for people who are also waiting there then we could give it together then you wouldn't be alone

[buoyant stump]

I generally already wouldn't be alone as I will be arriving with some friends, but still talking to strangers 😶
Especially since meeting everyone from here and going to my first ever concert will be stressful enough 😶

[odd trout]

Oh okay no Problem i Just wanted to ask bc i will Print the Projekts this weekend and i am planning everything 😅🫶🏻

[buoyant stump]

But ofc if someone else would like to do it (Original idea was during Set Me Free), then here you have the sign 😭

[odd trout]

[buoyant stump]

Oh and btw for those who travel here and know they can be sensitive/allergic to pollen: Be prepared in case you do react to pollen that flies here during April.

[hexed yarrow]

@buoyant stump since you know me already, i can be your advocate!🥺

[buoyant stump]

If you want? I just don't want to make it more stressful for me than it will already be 😅

[hexed yarrow]

Ahh okay, just do what you feel comfortable with!!!

[young moss]

Getting money transferred to euros and can't decide how much I should get 🙃

[buoyant stump]

Idk if I can help you there either 😭

[young moss]

I know 😭 don't nessisarily want help just struggling. The problem is if I get too much transfered then I'm going to have euros that I can't use

[buoyant stump]

Can't you just exchange them back to dollaers?

[young moss]

It costs money to transfer tho so I'd rather not

[buoyant stump]

Fair, fair 😭

[young moss]

Wait I'm wrong my bank doesn't charge 😭

Okay I transfered a lot but if I don't use it all I'll just transfer it back

[buoyant stump]

😂

[young moss]

😭

[charred obsidian]

Heyy

[odd trout]

Hey

[knotty epoch]

12 days

[young moss]

I fly in 9

I can't believe this is happening 😱

[buoyant stump]

Less than 2 weeks

[median linden]

it’s so near it feels surreal 😭

[young moss]

Frfr

[young moss]

||ngl had a mini panic attack trying to figure out a taxi from the airport to the hotel 😭 I downloaded an app tho and I think I'm good now but a part of me is wondering why I thought all this was a good idea 😭||

[buoyant stump]

10 days

[median linden]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-the-frog-meme-memes-gif-24277198

[buoyant stump]

I think I broke Zebs /j

[median linden]

it‘s the fact of the concert happening no worries 😭 /j

[young moss]

😭

[young moss]

Euros are so weird omg

[queen hatch]

Hi how are you guys

[charred obsidian]

have yall got your vip email yet?

since your show is next week

[buoyant stump]

Lemme check

[charred obsidian]

okieee

[buoyant stump]

Nope, no mail yet

[charred obsidian]

okay ty

your show is friday right next week?

so im guessing youll get them tuesday/wednesday

[buoyant stump]

Yes

[charred obsidian]

i saw mimi webb yesterday and my voice is gone

[nova frigate]

Hii guys what time are you going to the venue?

[buoyant stump]

I know at least one person wants to be there at like 8 am 😶

[young moss]

Help are you talking about me? 😭

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yeah-oh-ya-of-course-definitely-gif-5363111

[young moss]

HELP 😭

[nova frigate]

do u have vip?

[buoyant stump]

She does afaik

[young moss]

Yeah 😭

[hexed yarrow]

It might still change tho!

[buoyant stump]

German weather site disagrees, but I would also not trust any forecast that is more than a couple of days away 🤣

Translation:
Mostly cloudy, minimum 4°C, maximum 13°C, felt as 3°C or 12°C

[hexed yarrow]

OH THANK GODS

IM NERVOUS

[buoyant stump]

It's still April, though, so anything ranging from 20°C and sunny to 5°C and hailing is still on the table 😭

[hexed yarrow]

yea

it kept raining last week in berlin

and then it was sunny

and then cloudy again

[median linden]

hamburg weather is pretty interesting and wild so i would always expect 4 different seasons in one day with much wind due to the lake nearby 😭

[young moss]

That's how oregon is to

[buoyant stump]

That's everywhere in Germany in April 😭

[median linden]

true actually april is a special one in that 😭

[young moss]

I'm not kidding. The other day it was cloudy, then raining, then hailing, then 75 degrees, then raining again

[median linden]

april here in one description 😭

[buoyant stump]

April, der macht was er will 😭

[young moss]

My plan is to bring a rain coat 😂

[buoyant stump]

You should

[young moss]

I probably won't line up all ready. I'll prob line up in my sweats and at some point go back to my hotel and get ready closer to the show

[buoyant stump]

Just be prepared to potentially get some looks. Germans are already known for staring and being outside in sweats when you are not exercising or smthn is not always the most socially accepted 😭

[young moss]

Maybe legging 😭 imma be outside for hours I just dont what to be wearing my dress all day long

That's one thing I love about America. You can wear anything and no one cares. As long as your wearing clothes your fine 😂

[buoyant stump]

Here very few people will say anything about it, but some might give you a Look™️

[young moss]

THE TM 🤣

Is there any other clothing things I should know about?

[buoyant stump]

Not really, Germans will just generally dress a bit "fancier" ig than Americans in similar situations. Like you will see very few people go to school or university in sweatpants or smthn

Or to a grocery store or stuff

A German "celebrity" once said "People who wear sweatpants to the grocery store have lost control over their life" 😶

[young moss]

HELP

😭

[buoyant stump]

Oh I just checked apparently there's no "in the supermarket" specification in there 😶

[buoyant stump]

Oh but one more thing: Do not jaywalk. Especially not when kids or elderly people are around. Otherwise people WILL give you death stares or even comment on it.

[young moss]

Here if you dress up to go the grocery store you look weird (although like I said you can really wear anything and no one will look at you twice). It's so weird ti me sometimes how different cultures are in the smallest ways. Like it's really cool but mind boggling at the same time

[young moss]

While it is normal here I don't do that. It's dangerous and really pisses me off when people do that

[buoyant stump]

Good. We also have a lot of traffic lights and traffic lights with a button for pedestrians to make it turn red here so it's not too bad. Oh and ofc @median linden crossings

[young moss]

HELP

[buoyant stump]

It'll also be fun to see your reaction to the amount of bakeries we have here 🤣

[young moss]

I love bakeries so I'm really excited for that

[buoyant stump]

One more thing though, as someone just texted me about it: Somewhat close to the venue is also a red light district (if you don't know what it is, I will not explain, especially not on this server) so like... be careful and be prepared in case you happen to walk there in the evening 😅

[young moss]

Yes I know what that means so no explanation nessisary 😭 I will be careful

I'm pretty sure my hotel is right over there too but aside from the concert I probably won't be out much at night. But again I'll make sure to be careful

[buoyant stump]

It's also less that you absolutely need to be careful, but just that you know so you aren't surprised if you suddenly find yourself in there 😅

[young moss]

It's the Reeperbahn right?

[buoyant stump]

Well when I looked it up I found especially one part of the Reeperbahn with a lot of hits, but yes. The venue is also pretty much on the Reeperbahn, so...

[young moss]

Okay, when I was looking it up I found mixed info. I'm going to try and do a lot of exploring my first days there before the concert, mostly during the day, so I'm comfortable there. Hopefully that'll give me an idea of places to stay away from

[median linden]

HELP 😭 yes y’all be careful at those zebra crossings /j

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/wild-life-wild-animals-zebra-gif-7220106

[young moss]

😭

Have any of yall been to the Hamburg zoo? If so is it worth the visit?

[buoyant stump]

I have not. I only know that some places my mother and stepfather like when they go to Hamburg are the Miniaturwunderland (They have miniature versions of a lots of places with a lot of moving parts and stuff) and the Chocoversum (pretty much a chocolate tour I think with like production and stuff and you can also make your own chocolate bar there)

[median linden]

i‘ve been there once but like 8 years ago so i don’t remember much 😭 but i would say it’s worth a visit if it’s not too hot outside which it probably won’t be cause i was there in summer and basically the whole animal gang was asleep…

[young moss]

OMG CHOCOLATE THATS GOING ON MY LIST

[buoyant stump]

A tour costs 25€ for an adult

[young moss]

That's not bad

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/kangaroo-animals-gif-3810140

[young moss]

I've had people bring chocolate back from Germany and it's so good

[median linden]

yes exactly like that 😭

[buoyant stump]

You might also be able to go into a grocery store and buy a Kinder surprise egg 🤣

I think they should still be in season

[young moss]

YES

I'm so exvited

[buoyant stump]

Might even be able to still find some Easter things tbh 🤔

[charred obsidian]

JOSH IS GUNNA BE IN EUROPE OM WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY OMFG

[buoyant stump]

That is correct

[charred obsidian]

Sorry I’m freaking out

And getting emotional

Like it’s so soon

I can’t wait to find out what Europe vip is like on Friday

AND

ANOTHER GOOD THING

EUROPE IS AN HOUR AHEAD

[buoyant stump]

And we can tell you what the Tote Bag is, if we also get the same kind of gift as the US, etc.

[charred obsidian]

so after Toronto I find out outfits and stuff at 8pm

[charred obsidian]

Yesss! I really@hope it’s not the tour tote

If it’s the tour tote ima be 😭mad as I bought it on his website

I bought all the tour merch except the beanie help

It would be such a nice surprise if we got individual m&g

I’d die lol

But we won’t

So rip

Also dry have the best time on Friday

[buoyant stump]

Thank you

[odd trout]

@young moss at what time will you be at the venue on friday?

[young moss]

Idk. Well see how jet lagged I am. I'm thinking 7 or 8

[odd trout]

Oki Can you writte me when you will be there? 🥰

[young moss]

I'll put it here when i get there

[odd trout]

Oki Thank you 🥰

[vestal garnet]

Isn't it too early tho 👀

[buoyant stump]

Possibly

[young moss]

Idk. Guess we'll find out.

[young moss]

Dis you ever hear back about that? 😭

[buoyant stump]

Nope

[young moss]

🥲

If they say no ill probably just wonder around for a bit. As soon as someone else lines up tho imma be right there

Yah know... if I can actually wake up

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-waiting-for-vc-nightly-vc-vc-waiting-for-nightly-vc-gif-23589623

Hope when she is not allowed to line up

Oh didn't see the text above it 😭

[vestal garnet]

But is it really necessary since you have vip as well 👀 That's why am also questioning

[buoyant stump]

Pretty sure Hope wants to ensure she definitely without a doubt gets barricade 😭

[young moss]

I had vip for portland and still ended up in the second row. I want barricade 😭

[vestal garnet]

Oh really! Interesting

That's good to know tbh

[buoyant stump]

And then Europe ends up getting different merch after all and Hope will be there like "Shit" /j

[young moss]

I'll just get merch after the q and a before we all get kicked back outside

[vestal garnet]

What about you dry 😭

If you guys get there early, I might too

[buoyant stump]

I know Scott wants to be there pretty early so I will probably be as well

[young moss]

Which will be nice bc we can hold each other's spot if one of us has to go to the bathroom or smth

[vestal garnet]

I have no idea how it works, were you guys able to buy them before the concert began? 😭

[vestal garnet]

That's good

[young moss]

Idk if it'll be diff in Europe but for the last show we did the vip stuff, you could buy merch, and then we got kicked back outside to wait to be let in

[buoyant stump]

We'll just have to see 😭

[young moss]

Yup 😭

[buoyant stump]

We are the test subject 😭

[young moss]

Hamburg is the guinea pigs

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/lab-rats-adamdavenport-chasedavenport-breedavenport-gif-25029545

[young moss]

YES

🤣

[buoyant stump]

I mean... if I get bionic abilities, I'll take it /j

We'll also have to wait to receive a mail for VIP 🙃

[vestal garnet]

ughh so stressing 😭

[buoyant stump]

"Please be at VIP at 10 am" /j

Tbh... I wouldn't be mad as we also have early access to merch and therefor would be guaranteed to get it and wouldn't have to stress about positions as we'd be sent out again anyways

🤣

[young moss]

Yeah 😭

[vestal garnet]

ahh pls send a screenshot of it when you receive it, since you're the first VIPs in Europe I wonder 😭

Will you both stay in a&o hostel 👀 @young moss @buoyant stump

[buoyant stump]

Hamburg concert's still gonna be like /j

[young moss]

I'm at Ibis

[buoyant stump]

Not comfy saying where I'll stay on the server and can't DM you 😭

[young moss]

Oh. Smart. I thi k I already said it a few months ago tho when I was deciding where to stay 😭

[vestal garnet]

Ahh okie

[vestal garnet]

Fair enough

[vestal garnet]

At least I don’t know which ibis it is 😭

I don’t remember*

[young moss]

I'm Gen not too worried about it

[odd trout]

I will stay at this hotel

[vestal garnet]

That’s good! So will I

[topaz ingot]

alright dumb question, but this is my first concert: Is it okay for me to bring a backpack onto the venue?

[buoyant stump]

Yes, probably not bigger than DIN A4 tho

If it is bigger, then the Große Freiheit 36 also has a coat checkin where you could give them your bag/coat

[topaz ingot]

oh thats good to know, thanks

@young moss can i DM you? i have a couple of questions about the concert

[young moss]

Sure. I'm at work so I might not be able to answer right away

[nova frigate]

Hi! Emails for vips should arrive soon, right?

[buoyant stump]

Yup

[buoyant stump]

Btw looks like the gift for EU is the poster. "Gift" has been changed to "Gift poster"

[young moss]

Sweet, thanks for the update 🫶

[buoyant stump]

I just saw it because someone said "But I think the EU VIP gifts are different" 🤣

[young moss]

😂

I.... just got to the airport

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/airplane-airport-gif-26317318

[vestal garnet]

@buoyant stump can I ask you a question? 👀

[buoyant stump]

Sure

[vestal garnet]

Well, I bought the printable ticket, however, I'm not sure whether I have to print it out or not, is just showing PDF file enough?

[buoyant stump]

I've never been to a concert before so idk 😭

[vestal garnet]

Considering getting there at 8 - 10 am 👀

[vestal garnet]

DWAUIWDAIUJ didn't notice it 😭

And ig Hope either has to risk it or find a place in Germany where she can print it 😭

[vestal garnet]

WE WILL SLAY WE WILL SLAY 😌 💅

Ahh @young moss your way is really that long, I wish you and Josh safe and comfortable travels 😭

[vestal garnet]

Yes exactly, it is good idea to print it out 😭

[young moss]

HELP

[vestal garnet]

I'm worried about wasting paper 😭

[young moss]

It's the same barcode the scan whether printed or on the phone so I think it'll be fine. Tbh I couldn't read the email I received the ticket I'm and I can read the ticket itself so 🙃

[buoyant stump]

Dw, you could probably find a Copyshop somewhere 😭

[young moss]

A what now?

[buoyant stump]

Copyshop. Copy shop. A Shop to copy.

[young moss]

On my first flight rn 😆

[vestal garnet]

But there's (for the new dates) a mobile ticket option available, that's why I am confused about that

[young moss]

Oh I guess it is kinda self explanatory 😭

[buoyant stump]

Zebs of the German concerts, what is your wisdom? /j

[young moss]

Fair. Idk I think it'll be fine

[median linden]

i‘ve never been to a concert either but as much as i know the printed version of tickets is better for the people who’ll control them 👀

[young moss]

Okay I'll try and find a place to eat it printed

[buoyant stump]

Frick... do we know if Zeyn's been to a concert in germany before? 😭

[vestal garnet]

Well apparently mobile tickets are just available for Cologne concert

[young moss]

Eat 😭 I meant get

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/sutton-foster-eating-paper-younger-tv-hungry-gif-8901257

[young moss]

😭

I totally meant to print it and just forgot

[vestal garnet]

Ahh exciting! I hope you have an amazing time!!

[young moss]

Tok late now 😂

[median linden]

RIGHTT I‘M SI EXCITED IT FEELS UNREAL

[buoyant stump]

Tomorrow I'll finish packing and then in the morning on Thursday, I'll go to Hamburg by train 😭

[young moss]

I land at noon on Wednesday

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/ahhhh-its-wednesday-my-dudes-mirror-selfie-gif-5446149

[young moss]

😭

I can hear that 😂

[buoyant stump]

As you should

[vestal garnet]

In case you don't find it, I can print it for you by tomorrow night (for my time), if you trust me tho 😭 🫂

[median linden]

i sadly have no idea 😭

[buoyant stump]

Meanwhile me with my physical ticket 😭

[young moss]

Okay thank you 😭

[young moss]

FIGHT ME /lh

[buoyant stump]

I just have to make sure that I don't forget or lose it 😭

[buoyant stump]

No, go fight Kat, she wants to fight with everyone /j

[young moss]

That's already planned 🙄 /j

[median linden]

i‘m so stressing to not forget something rn 😭 even though i‘m not really far but still DJJEHSH

[young moss]

Same 😭 except for the far thing

[buoyant stump]

I'm a couple of hours away so I could go back and return, but I'd rather not 😭

As long as I have my ticket I will probably be fine-ish at least 😭

Well and my ID 😭

[young moss]

I CANT BELIEVE IM DOING THIS

[median linden]

manifesting we all will come without forgetting something important 😭

[young moss]

I already forgot my ticket so not a promising start 😭

[median linden]

yeahh fair i wouldn’t want to do that either 😭

[median linden]

HELP but it’s okay we all will get in there somehow 😭🫂

[young moss]

I made sure I had my passport like 10 times before leaving

[vestal garnet]

Guys this is what the printable ticket says

Guess we need to print it

[young moss]

Oof

Okay I'll figure it out

[median linden]

there’re many copy shops in hamburg so no worries 🫂

[buoyant stump]

"Treat the ticket like cash"
Non Germans: "So... digital?" /hj

[vestal garnet]

Frrr 😭

[young moss]

Ngl I'm worried I'm going to be so anxious I won't be able to order food so we'll see 😂

[young moss]

HELP

[vestal garnet]

It's good that we talked about it before the concert 😭

[young moss]

Also tho, I feel really abnormally calm

[vestal garnet]

Imagine if we couldn't attend cuz we didn't have printed ticket 😭

[young moss]

And I even went up to a flight attendant to ask a question so I'm feeling great

[deep harbor]

Lets promise to be the best crowd he has ever peformed in fromt of

[vestal garnet]

SAME, I feel both excited and calm

[young moss]

IMAGINE I FLY TO GERMANY JUST TO NOT BE ABLE TO GO

[median linden]

i get that, i probs would feel the same but it’ll be okay you can do it 🫂 also we’ll all be there to help too

[buoyant stump]

Dw, you should probably be fine. Zeyn's been living in Germany the last couple of months with barely any German knowledge and survived. She even survived German bureaucracy!

[young moss]

🥺

[median linden]

THIS

[young moss]

😭

[deep harbor]

THANKS ZEBS

[young moss]

Oof this flight is packed anf I feel squished

[median linden]

OFCC WE‘LL ROCK HIS FIRST EVER EUROPE CONCERT

[buoyant stump]

Hope the Squishmallow /j

[deep harbor]

I KNOW US BEING THE OPENING IS INSANE

[buoyant stump]

And show him he ain't that tall /j

[median linden]

IT IS BUT IT‘S TRULY A HONOR

[young moss]

😭 I brought two for Josh 😏

[deep harbor]

YES ONLY INSANE IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE

[buoyant stump]

Awe they gave us all earbuds

[median linden]

[buoyant stump]

Awwww

[median linden]

AGREED 🤝🏼

[buoyant stump]

My stepfather brought me some earplugs from work for the concert 🤣

[young moss]

A small spiderman one to put in his gift bag and then a Turtle that says 'I Turtley love you'

[young moss]

YAS

[median linden]

talking about it makes me even more nervous rn so last day before concert will be insane, can feel it already 😭

[vestal garnet]

God, does that mean I have to print my paris ticket as well 😭 Guess it does

[buoyant stump]

Should've brought the Kindness version of Opal the Ocotpus. /j

1. She is the only female and has 4 older brothers
2. She's in pastels
3. She has "Choose Kindness" stitched onto her belly

[buoyant stump]

Idk, they're different sellers 😭

[young moss]

I have that one....

[buoyant stump]

🤣

[vestal garnet]

Omw to check it 😭

[buoyant stump]

She's also the only one listed with my birthday as her squishdate, but most I could find say "May 16th" and not May 15th 🫠

[young moss]

I liked the Turtle tho. I saw it and immediately thought josh

[vestal garnet]

[vestal garnet]

IKRR DHJDSAJHS

[vestal garnet]

Ah what's wrong 🤔

[vestal garnet]

That's great!!

[hexed yarrow]

I forgot I need to buy stuff

[buoyant stump]

Have you printed out your ticket yet?

[hexed yarrow]

NO😭😭😭

[buoyant stump]

At least I reminded you, ig? 😭

[young moss]

I'm checking into my hotel rn

[young moss]

@vestal garnet does the offer to print my ticket still stand? 😭

[eternal hatch]

You should be able to print it at the hotel too no?

[young moss]

Wait really?

I haven't left my room 😭

[eternal hatch]

I think you can ask the front desk

Doesn’t hurt, worst they say is no

[vestal garnet]

It does!

[vestal garnet]

Yeah court is right, good idea

[young moss]

That's fair

[eternal hatch]

Fri reminds me of common sense things 😭

[quasi bronze]

I'm pretty sure they'd help

Ive had ibis in australia do that for me

[young moss]

That means I have to leave the room 😂

[quasi bronze]

I believe in you. How is the jetlag doing?

[young moss]

Tbh I'm not sure. I'm tired but also super amped up (from anxiety) but I think that the anxiety is from being exhausted and not sleeping well on the plane. I'm prob going to take a shower and then take a nap.

[quasi bronze]

pro tip; dont nap too long and then just sleep early

[young moss]

Yeah I was gonna do like 30 minutes or smth. The amount I would normally at home after I get off of work if it's one of those days. I talked to Kat a bit which helped and I think a shower will also help. Plus I have my Franklin bear

The nine hour flight was just brutal tho bc I couldn't fall asleep 😭

Water might help

[knotty epoch]

vip people check your emails

[young moss]

Yay!

[topaz ingot]

finally, i was starting to get worried

woah 4:45 pm? was it that early for the other VIPs?

[median linden]

it’s really early, i just hope i can make it in time 😭

[grizzled bear]

The doors open at 6 right?

[young moss]

No 😭

[young moss]

You can do it!

[topaz ingot]

yeah same, my train arrives in hamburg at like 3:40. i thought that would be more than enough time but now...

[young moss]

I'm just hoping I can work up the nerve to leave my hotel room 🤣 /hj

[topaz ingot]

i wonder what joshua has planned to do with us for like, 2 hours

seems were getting our moneys worth!

[median linden]

thank youu 🥺

[median linden]

i hope you’ll make it in time but i‘m sure there’ll be a lot of time in between and while check in still 🫂

[topaz ingot]

yeah, luckily the hamburg HBF is only a couple of s-bahn stations away, should get there quickly

[vestal garnet]

@young moss did you figure out printing? If you didn’t I can still for you, but I’m about to close my luggage soon

[odd trout]

Yes

[young moss]

I feel like I should be brave and ask down at the desk. I can do this

[vestal garnet]

Ahh pls if you needed, lmk that in an hour 😭🫂

You’ve got this tho

[young moss]

She said she can print it for me

[vestal garnet]

That's good to hear!!

[young moss]

Thabm you for being willing tho. It means a lot. My anxiety has settled a bit since getting here but I still don't feel 100% about walking into a store 😅

[vestal garnet]

Anytime!! And you're doing good, I couldn't do anything if I was just alone 😭 Has someone come there today?? 🤔

[young moss]

Nope. So far I'm the only one here as far as I know.

[vestal garnet]

Pheww 😭 See you tomorrow tho 😌

[charred obsidian]

Have you guys received your emails yet?

[native vector]

Yess

[charred obsidian]

Can you ss it?! I really wanna know all the details of the vip experience lol

[charred obsidian]

Tysm!! I was kinda hoping it would explain how vip is gunna play out but I guess we find out Friday

Did you ask a question

[native vector]

Not yet, I'm still in class hahaha

[charred obsidian]

WHAT

it’s like 6.50pm for you

And your in class

[native vector]

Yeah the only new info is the time i guess

[native vector]

Sadly uni doesn't care🥲

[young moss]

The vip email has a link to ask the question but I bought 2 vip, one for me and one for a friend, but it won't let us both submit one 😭

[young moss]

Went and found the venue

[buoyant stump]

Good that I immediately favourited my confirmation 🤣

[young moss]

I found. McDonald's 😂

[median linden]

YESS VERY IMPORTANT 😭

[buoyant stump]

I think there's also a KFC close to the venue

[young moss]

It is bc honestly I'm so scared to step into any place rn 😭

[young moss]

And a burger king

[young moss]

@median linden this was supposed to be a response to you but my phone failed

[median linden]

i get that but mcdonalds is always my safe space so i would recommend it for a restaurant visit + they’re always so chill 😭

[young moss]

Yeah that's my thinking too. I'm too nervous to eat rn but for breakfast I might try and find a bakery?

Idk I'm just proud of myself for getting out of the hotel and walking around for like an hour

[median linden]

yess the bakery’s are so good here they have so many options so i‘m sure you’ll find something there

[median linden]

YOU CANN that’s such a huge step for a place u never visited before 🫂

[buoyant stump]

And bakeries are pretty much anywhere here

[topaz ingot]

just dont buy smth called mettbrötchen

[buoyant stump]

Might be a bit weird at first, yes. It's a bread roll with ground raw pork

[young moss]

😭

[median linden]

agreed 😭

[young moss]

Why the ? In your dn? 😭

[median linden]

cause i can’t believe it’s happening so questioning it HSHSGHS 😭

[young moss]

Fair

[topaz ingot]

dunno if anyone here knows, but are the public outlets at the hamburg HBF? Ill have to chill there until 5 am after the concert for my train

[hexed yarrow]

Usually those glass waiting rooms have outlets?

Otherwise cafes inside the station have

I'll be arriving there tomorrow so I'll update if I dont forget!

[topaz ingot]

thanks that would be awesome!

[odd trout]

I am in my way from Stuttgart to Hamburg

[buoyant stump]

I'll be there earlier than Teddy, I can also try to check it out

[warm geyser]

I'm pretty sure (can't 100% confirm tho) that at the very least the McDonald's there would have outlets + it's open 24/7

[buoyant stump]

The travel has begun, waiting for my 1st train atm

[young moss]

🥳

I should prob go get food soon

[buoyant stump]

Yes, it's 10 am 😭

[young moss]

Dry I haven't eaten in 24 hours 😭

[buoyant stump]

Then doubly yes 😭

[young moss]

😭 last night I was too tired to eat and now this morning I'm just scared. I'll get over it tho. I just woke up like 39 min ago

[buoyant stump]

You don't have to be afraid. Germans don't bite 😭

[hexed yarrow]

WAIT WHAT TIME

[buoyant stump]

Around 2 pm if it all works out

[hexed yarrow]

Ahh

I arrive 2 hours later

Gotta figure out the ticket thing

[buoyant stump]

Oh I thought you were travelling with Scott, spparently not 🤣

[hexed yarrow]

Nope😭

But we're traveling in spirit

[buoyant stump]

Teddy, no haunting people 🤨/j

[young moss]

HELP 🤣

[hexed yarrow]

OoOoOooooo!!!

Haunting people?

[young moss]

DEAD OMG

[hexed yarrow]

[hexed yarrow]

Join the hunt hope

[young moss]

[buoyant stump]

I would send a ghost Teddy GIF, but those are creepy 😭

[young moss]

Wait.... what did I say? 😭

[buoyant stump]

[young moss]

[hexed yarrow]

[hexed yarrow]

[hexed yarrow]

GO GET SOME FOOD

[young moss]

https://tenor.com/view/i-just-a-baby-baby-im-just-a-baby-gif-25143652

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/go-eat-gif-11422330

Brb, train arrives

[young moss]

Yay!

[young moss]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-want-to-i-dont-wanna-dont-crying-tired-gif-13730401

[buoyant stump]

Don't you want to get some breadrolls (premade) with cheese or sausage? 😌

Or even egg

Some even have meatballs as option

[young moss]

I just don't wanna look stupid not being able to pronounce the names of food 😭

Wow I just realized I might have a pride issue

[buoyant stump]

Dw, you can just say what it looks like in English or point at them

They might even start with English if they clock you as American or see you struggle tbh 😭

[young moss]

Ngl I think a lot of this fear just comes from knowing that (or being made to believe) that everyone things Americans are dumb so I feel like I'm just walking around with this burden to not be that. I'll get over it. I have to go get my ticket from the hotel desk in 25 and then I'll go get food.

[young moss]

I found a place for @eternal hatch

[eternal hatch]

BOBA AND FRIENDS HELLO

[young moss]

ITS MEANT TO BE

[eternal hatch]

And when we all get boba while it’s freezing then what

[knotty epoch]

i’ll arrive in like an hour & half

[young moss]

Also @buoyant stump I got food

[young moss]

Its not terribly cold

[eternal hatch]

I still need to finish packing 🧍‍♀️

[young moss]

Although your from texas

[topaz ingot]

oh schokobrötchen, good choice

[young moss]

Nothing with substance but it's food so progress 😭

[topaz ingot]

well i used to just eat one of those for breakfast, id say its substancial!

[young moss]

Also the guy was so nice but it's probably bc I looked so freaking scared 🤣

[young moss]

I haven't eaten in 24 hours tho 😂

I'll find protein later

[late lichen]

NOTHING WITH SUBSTANCE?

[topaz ingot]

ohhh yeah you need food

uh oh you summoned ruben

[young moss]

Chocolate and bread isn't protein Ruben no matter how good it tastes

[buoyant stump]

Hope

Most nutrition in Germany is heavily carbs based

[late lichen]

???!?!?

https://tenor.com/view/shock-rabhasa-movies-brahmanandam-reaction-gif-19060957

[young moss]

That is not what I meant 😭

This is what I was afraid of 😭

[buoyant stump]

Bread with chocolate is no uncommon breakfast here. Lunch is often warm and dinner bread with something savoury 😭

[eternal hatch]

Carbs 😍

That looked sarcastic but like /srs

[young moss]

Okay but I haven't eaten in 25 hours 😭 the last thing I ate was bread and egg on my flight to Munich at 9 am yesterday morning 😭 all I was saying was I should've found smth with protien like a sandwich or smth

[buoyant stump]

You'll love it here, then. No meal is complete without carbs 🤣

[buoyant stump]

But a Schokobrötchen is a start 😭

[young moss]

Yes it's a start that's what I said. I went into a place, talked to someone, and bought food 😭

[topaz ingot]

good old brotzeit

[buoyant stump]

Abendbrot

[young moss]

Oh I also found a body of water Kat can push me into

I fear I've offended Ruben 😭

As he like vanished

[buoyant stump]

Hamburg is a port city so yes, thrre's water 😭

[young moss]

I like how were ignoring the Kat part 😭

[buoyant stump]

He might either just be travelling or if he arrives tomorrow celebrating King's Day

[buoyant stump]

You say that as if I wasn't there for the original exchange 😭

[young moss]

That's also just Ruben. Says one thing then leaves 😅 I'm just paranoid rn

[young moss]

🤣

[buoyant stump]

Dw, he's just gonna throw wooden clogs at you /j

[late lichen]

YOU HAVENT HAHAHAH

[late lichen]

Celebrating indeed

[buoyant stump]

[young moss]

[topaz ingot]

[young moss]

HELP

[topaz ingot]

[young moss]

😂

[buoyant stump]

Yes, Makedon actually comes from the Anderswelt

[young moss]

The way dry warmed me against j walking and I've watched 20 people do it (one being currently as wgy I bring it up)

[buoyant stump]

The clock on this train stopped going up 7 minutes ago 🤣

[topaz ingot]

[young moss]

Oop 😭

[buoyant stump]

People do it, but if an elderly lady or children are nearby, they would give angry looks 😭

[young moss]

HELP 😂 NOW IM JUST PICTURUNG A WALKING HAMBURGER

[buoyant stump]

https://tenor.com/view/germany-hamburg-hamburg-city-pov-you-enter-hamburg-hamburg-germany-gif-24602284

[late lichen]

[topaz ingot]

[buoyant stump]

Nope, local trains I can use for freeeeeee 😎

[knotty epoch]

[topaz ingot]

oof you dont gotta flex on me like that

[late lichen]

RB + ICE for me

[buoyant stump]

Welcome to German trains 😎

[topaz ingot]

[late lichen]

There is a reason: it’s flixtrain HAHAHAH

[young moss]

Yeah😂

[knotty epoch]

hate the railway no offense

[topaz ingot]

D:

[buoyant stump]

That's very German of you, dw

[young moss]

Zebs will too I think. She's also worried about making the check in

[late lichen]

OH JAYWALKING

[young moss]

HELP WHAT DID YOU THINK J WAS? 😭

[late lichen]

I have a 38min transfer so that will be fun as well

[late lichen]

Idk bro

[topaz ingot]

[buoyant stump]

I am so glad that the school class thst just got on went to the 2nd story 😭

[buoyant stump]

Johnson /j

[topaz ingot]

i have a 10 minute transfer in Fulda 😶 lets hope that doesnt go wrong

[young moss]

What if an old lady Jay walks? /hj

[buoyant stump]

She disappears in a cloud of illogic /j

[young moss]

Well I just watched it and she seemed fine. No cloud of illogic 😂 /hj

[buoyant stump]

I had a 35 min transfer, but the train here arrived after like 10 and just waits until 11:40 🤣

[topaz ingot]

oof how many trainchanges do you have to do?

[late lichen]

It’s the way in the Netherlands I wonder if I should go for the 1 minute connection or not and in Germany I’m afraid of a 38 min connection 😭

[young moss]

Ooo I found a Cafe to ear at later

[buoyant stump]

She's probably still working and isn't in pension yet /j

[buoyant stump]

None 😶

[young moss]

😭

[buoyant stump]

Well the one just niw, but now none

[topaz ingot]

nice, lucky

[buoyant stump]

I'm lucky thst my 1st train to everywhere mostly just has a 5 minute delay at most 😭

[buoyant stump]

Yup 😌

[young moss]

Dry showing everyone up /j

[buoyant stump]

I just show people how to railway 😌 /j

[young moss]

I'm so lost rn 😂

[buoyant stump]

Can you start google maps? Or do you have no roaming here? 😭

[late lichen]

The first train I have to get always gets cancelled the first when there’s over a 5 minute delay 😭

[young moss]

Oh I totally can which is why I'm not worried. Kinda having fun exploring tho

[buoyant stump]

This one is delay due to a "Zuchüberholung"

[young moss]

What do you think my parents would say if I cane home with a tattoo? 🤔

[topaz ingot]

wth is zuch

[buoyant stump]

Zug in dialect, but slso what your grandma tells you you get from cold air

[buoyant stump]

I wouldn't suggest it. Good tattoo artists are booked out for at lesst weeks if not months 😭

[topaz ingot]

yeah and theyre expensivee

[young moss]

Yeah I probably wouldn't but it's fun to think of how to freak out my parents 🤣

[young moss]

Trust me I know. Ots the only reason I haven't gotten one back home yet

[late lichen]

This seemed fitting

[young moss]

HELP

[young moss]

Some things are universal 😂

[topaz ingot]

a universal experience really

[buoyant stump]

Yup. You need to be fluent in train here

[young moss]

Great kinds think alike 😎

[buoyant stump]

You are in Germsny now. That means it's not geniuses, it's two dumb ones, same thought 😌 /j

[young moss]

When if I meet Josh I want ti have him write All in Due Time. That's the first tattoo I'm getting

[young moss]

You do realize that your also calling Make dumb right? Like me... probably 😂 but don't do make like that /t

THE CHIRCHES HER ARE STUNNINH

[buoyant stump]

No, it's the German saying for it. "Zwei Dumme, ein Gedanke" 😭

[young moss]

No I know 😭

I was teasing 😭

[buoyant stump]

Because they are old

[young moss]

really??? I thought they were built yesterday/s /t 😂

[buoyant stump]

No, those that were built yesterday were transported here via time machine 🙄 /j

The train puff just now hurt my hearing... and that with earphones 😭

[young moss]

😭

[knotty epoch]

ME TODAY

not that i understand german but

STILL

[young moss]

It's really neat to see the old and new architecture woven together

[knotty epoch]

like i was supposed to be in hamburg already and i have like 50 more mins rn😭😭

[buoyant stump]

What I understood just now was:
"Hjtgjuffklohrefjzrfjuh have a nice ride jfhbjfsrjlijrgkkzred sorry for the delay kzvrfuuj due to delayed train" so....

[young moss]

Props to you for surviving so long bc one day here an I'm struggling 🤣

[young moss]

😭

[knotty epoch]

LMFAO

[knotty epoch]

you’ll get used to it

[buoyant stump]

Did you get used to the staring yet? /hj

[knotty epoch]

i did yeah ksjdkdjdkjdj

[young moss]

The guy I ordered my breakfast from saw me and how scared I was and said "English right?" 🤣

[buoyant stump]

See? Told you they can clock people 🤣

Food time

Because now I'll be on this train for a couple of hours

[buoyant stump]

Get delayed for another hour, then we'll arrive at the same time! /j

Possibly. Another delay to let a train pass

[young moss]

Deff eating here tomorrow 😂

[topaz ingot]

that does look cool

[young moss]

10/10 on name alone 😂

[warm geyser]

fritz kola 💛

[buoyant stump]

The subtitle is "You can sleep when you're dead"

[young moss]

15/10

[buoyant stump]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was close to a uni 🤣

It's not

[warm geyser]

It's actually not too far away from the University of Hamburg, I'd say. Tho that depends on the definition 😂

[buoyant stump]

Not in walking distance 😭

[topaz ingot]

students will walk for a while for a good coffee id say

[warm geyser]

20 minutes is walking distance imho

[buoyant stump]

2,3 km?

[topaz ingot]

okay not quite that far

[young moss]

I ended up 20 minutes (walking distance from my hotel) 😌 pats back for bravery

[buoyant stump]

I would say close walking distance is to like up to 15 minutes. Thst is almost 30 minutes away

But still not too bad, yes

Oh the train time updated

[young moss]

What I'm learning is ti not trust train times /j

[warm geyser]

Probably the most important lesson to learn lol

[buoyant stump]

Finally Free in a train is main character vibes

[hexed yarrow]

My train got cancelled

🫰

[buoyant stump]

😭 can you book another one? 😭

[young moss]

I keep being like "I'm headed back to the hotel now.... ooo smth I wanna look at" I'm a dog....

[hexed yarrow]

I am finding a solution tho

[hexed yarrow]

Trains*

[buoyant stump]

Good luck 😭

[hexed yarrow]

[young moss]

🫂

[quasi bronze]

Literally I’m scared of this

[topaz ingot]

[topaz ingot]

[quasi bronze]

I’m more scared for you tho as we’re going today so worst case we just get there mad late tonight

[topaz ingot]

haha yeah, im just really hoping that i can trust the ICEs

[buoyant stump]

German trains are the final boss

[quasi bronze]

I’m putting my faith in the danish train system and a 17 minute connection

[topaz ingot]

ohhh youre in denmark, you dont have to ride too long then

[buoyant stump]

I hope everyone gets here somewhat alright 😭

THIRD TRAIN PASSING 🤣

[topaz ingot]

passing?

[buoyant stump]

We have to wait for it to pass creating a delay

[topaz ingot]

ohh like a crossing?

[buoyant stump]

I am close-ish to my hometown atm (well the one I lived in for 8 years as a child)

[buoyant stump]

Zugüberholung

[knotty epoch]

[young moss]

[topaz ingot]

ill try to help, but who knows if i can understand northgerman

[buoyant stump]

I don't think they talk platt in Hamburg 😭

[topaz ingot]

[buoyant stump]

Because they are Brötchen 😤 /lh

[warm geyser]

(💛)

[topaz ingot]

[buoyant stump]

I call them Berliner

[young moss]

I ordered 😆 I might not know exactly what I ordered but why take the fun out of it 😂

[topaz ingot]

ohh about that, i could swear we also have a gebäck called berliner here, but it was like disk of soft dough covered in zuckerguss, but i cannot find any info on it online

[buoyant stump]

What did you order?

[buoyant stump]

You mean Amerikaner

[young moss]

It's ramen. That's about all I know. I know the names of ramen pretty good so I just ordered the name I wad familiar with

[buoyant stump]

🤣

Never had ramen tbh

[young moss]

I can't escape the paper straws 😭 /j

[buoyant stump]

Nooe, but most actual restaurants don't even give you straws

[topaz ingot]

ohhh thank you! this was driving me crazy for a while

[topaz ingot]

oh you need to, good ramen is amazing

[buoyant stump]

Np

[young moss]

I def want to try diff food while I'm here but i was getting too hungry to wait and I think something familiar to start with helps build my confidence up. I mean I actually walked into a restaurant and talked to someone. Progress 😎

[topaz ingot]

i have this japanese palce in my city thats kinda pricy, but the ramen is so good

[buoyant stump]

Also never had sushi

[young moss]

FOR REAL

[young moss]

I hate sushi 😭

[young moss]

Nooe 😂

[topaz ingot]

[buoyant stump]

Here some sushi places also have variants with other (cooked) meats

[buoyant stump]

Oromë Oromë Aman haila Aman haila ná Aldaron /ly

[young moss]

Okay this looks a lot diff then what I'm used to but it tastes great

[buoyant stump]

As long as it's Ramen and not Rahmen /j

[young moss]

I don't like seaweed

[young moss]

😭

Also... chopsticks 🙃

[buoyant stump]

Rahmes in frame in German

[buoyant stump]

Ofc you get chopsticks

[young moss]

And ofc I can't use them 😂

[topaz ingot]

at least theyre not paper chopsticks

[warm geyser]

Chopsticks... My nemesis

[young moss]

HELP

[young moss]

Mine too. Let's fight them /j

[buoyant stump]

I had China AG in 5th grade so I learned how to use them. Idk if I can still do it well, but...

[warm geyser]

You could ask for a spoon, I suppose, I always ask for a fork when eating sushi too. 😂

[buoyant stump]

In how many sushi places are you banned so far? /j

[young moss]

There's a ramen spoon with it but spoons aren't super great for the noodles

😭

[warm geyser]

Yes :^)

[late lichen]

Also, if you're worried about language barriers and such, university canteens might be an option, i guess

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

It was the day of Joshua Bassett's concert in Hamburg, and the members of the Joshua Bassett Discord server were ecstatic. They had been planning for weeks, chatting about what songs they hoped he would perform, what they were going to wear, and how they were going to make the most of the experience. But little did they know that their night was going to take a dramatic turn.

As they arrived at the venue, the excitement was palpable. The members of the Discord server were buzzing with anticipation, sharing photos of their outfits, and discussing the setlist. They found their seats and waited for the show to begin.

Finally, the lights dimmed, and Joshua Bassett took the stage to thunderous applause. The Discord server members were jumping up and down, singing along to every word of his songs, and having the time of their lives.

But suddenly, in the middle of one of his performances, there was a commotion in the crowd. A group of rowdy fans had started a fight, and it was getting out of control. The members of the Discord server were caught in the middle of it, trying to protect themselves and each other.

The fight escalated quickly, and the members of the Discord server were forced to flee the area. They were shaken and scared, not knowing what to do next. Some of them had been injured in the chaos, and they were all deeply disappointed that their night had been ruined by a group of unruly fans.

As they regrouped outside the venue, the Discord server members realized that they needed to band together and support each other. They talked about the frightening experience they had just gone through, shared contact information so they could check in on each other, and made a plan to try to salvage the rest of their night.

Despite the drama, the members of the Joshua Bassett Discord server managed to make the most of their evening. They headed to a nearby bar, where they were able to decompress and process the events of the night. They talked about how they would always have each other's backs, and how they were grateful for the community they had built through the Discord server.

In the end, the members of the Discord server realized that the drama and the fight had only made them stronger as a group. They left Hamburg with a newfound appreciation for each other and a determination to continue supporting Joshua Bassett and each other in the future.

JUMPSCARE

[buoyant stump]

Me: Starts travelinf
My neurodermatitis: "How DARE you!"

[topaz ingot]

i bet ruben is the one who started the fight

[young moss]

HAHA YES

[young moss]

😭

I keep wanting text my parents and then remember they're gmnot even awake yet

[buoyant stump]

At 1 pm?! /j

[young moss]

😂

IKR HOW RUDE OF THEM

I keep being like "I'd be at work rn" bruh I wouldn't even be awake

[buoyant stump]

My butt hurts

[young moss]

HELP

Also, Kat just made an excellent point. For people staying I'm line most of the day tmr have a plan for food (and if you wanted to let me know what your plan is that would be great bc I don't have one and hadn't thought about it 😅)

[buoyant stump]

Pretty sure there are a couple of places nearby and since Covid a lot of places also offer takeaway

[topaz ingot]

also its gonna be rainy tmrw, so bring coats

[young moss]

I'm so dumb btw, bc it took me two hours to figure out that take away was take out 😭

[young moss]

I packed mine 🥳

[buoyant stump]

Wearing mine rn

[young moss]

Also... ngl I'm full but I'm sitting here still eating bc I don't know what to do next 😂

[buoyant stump]

It's Bri'ish for takeout

[young moss]

Dry really said spill that T /j 😂

[eternal hatch]

Oh my?

[buoyant stump]

Sing along to SSIAHR in your hotel room

[buoyant stump]

AI generated

[topaz ingot]

get another ramen? /j

[quasi bronze]

Courtney and I are officially on the way

[eternal hatch]

We move 💃💃

[young moss]

No like... how to pay. This always happens back home too. I never know whether I pay at the table or at the front. And this might sound dumb but are leftovers a thing? 😭

[buoyant stump]

Good luck! May the railway be with you!

[quasi bronze]

Slowly

[young moss]

At the table bc I think I just watched someone else do it

[topaz ingot]

is it like an actual restaurant?

[young moss]

Yes

[topaz ingot]

then yeha table, you just have to flag them down first

[young moss]

I'm legit just watching other people finish 😂

[buoyant stump]

Mostly at the table. Jzst wave over a waiter/waitress and ask to pay

[topaz ingot]

and you do have to wave them over, most servers in germany wont come to if theyre not gestured.

[young moss]

Oof social interaction okay 👍 👌

[young moss]

Kk 😭

[buoyant stump]

Yup

We don't like to bother people

[topaz ingot]

i once sat in mexican restaurant for like 20 minutes just waiting for the waitress to notice me

[young moss]

||thank you all for putting up with my.... not stupidity, just lack of knowledge||

[topaz ingot]

that i was done eating

[young moss]

😭

[topaz ingot]

good quessadillas tho!

[buoyant stump]

It do be like that sometimes

[young moss]

In America if a waiter or waitress doesn't check in on you every 10 minutes it's considered bad service 😂

[buoyant stump]

Eh, dw, it's normal things to wonder when in another country

[young moss]

Thank you 🥺

[topaz ingot]

oof i almost prefer our system over that

[young moss]

Also.... is boxing up leftovers to take home normal?

[topaz ingot]

very normal

also im eating döner rn

[young moss]

Tbh I thought so too but now having to get someone's attention, I prefer not having to wave someone over 😂

[buoyant stump]

Here them checking on you would be considered bad service tbh 😭

But here you can also sit for hours in a restaurant after your food is done and unless it is packed or they're closing, they won't ask when you plan on leaving

[buoyant stump]

Yup, very very normal

[topaz ingot]

yeah its nice when you wanna keep chatting with friends, less so when youre just wanting to get going

[young moss]

Cool. I figured but thought I'd ask before I ask this lady and look stupid 😂

[buoyant stump]

Yeah no, just ask. Not everyone offers it, but you can ask without looking weird

[young moss]

Ngl it's kinda crazy how similar but also different everything is

Okay this restaurant is diff bc everyone's going up to the front to pay 😅

[topaz ingot]

huh funny, thats how my ramen restaurant works too, maybe thats just how it is for ramen shops?

[buoyant stump]

3 more stops til Hamburg

[young moss]

Maybe. Ramen places are like formal in a very unformal way 😂

[buoyant stump]

"I'm just in harmony in a really aggressive way!" /q

[median linden]

BECAUSE DÖNER HERE IS 🤌🏻

[buoyant stump]

Yup

Döner macht schöner ofc

[young moss]

Let's make a group trip out of it 😭 /hj

I TALKED TO SOME ONE

Also I said take away instead of to go. I'm so proud of myself 😂

It's weird tho bc I'm not used to them taking the food 😭

[buoyant stump]

You can say both 😭

[young moss]

Yeah I figured but everywhere here says takeaway so I figured I'd try it 😭

[buoyant stump]

It's because we are taught British English in school until we're not 😭

[young moss]

Hope: proud of learning
Dry: let's just shut that down

/j

[topaz ingot]

good good, if you would have said to go they would have thrown your food away right in front of your eyes /J

[median linden]

YESS 😭

[median linden]

I TOTALLY WOULD 😭

[buoyant stump]

Well sometimes they are legally Drehspießfleischtaschen

[median linden]

still can’t believe it’s tomorrow like actual tomorrow, anxiety where you at 😭😭

[median linden]

HELP that sounds so wrong 😭

[buoyant stump]

I think I accidentally got your's /j

[young moss]

HELP

[median linden]

thank you i‘ll pick it up tomorrow /j

[buoyant stump]

It's because legally a Dönerspieß needs a certain percentage of actual slabs of meat between the meat paste they also use. If it's too little it's legally not a Döner

[young moss]

Helpful tip don't tip to go boxes in case they don't get the lid on right 😂

[buoyant stump]

Yup 😭

Also Hope: How weird does it feel not to have to tip a lot?

[young moss]

So weird but so good

[median linden]

that’s actually fair, i mean döner without proper meat can‘t be a döner 😭

[buoyant stump]

Well the meatpaste is still meat just much cheaper 😭

[young moss]

Paste.... meat... paste?

[buoyant stump]

Yup. A paste made of meat

[young moss]

So question... for a friend.... is there social norms for when to drink? Just out of curiosity....

[buoyant stump]

I think after 5? But usually it's not too weird as long as it's afternoon

[median linden]

i personally drink whenever i want and never heard that there’re rules for that but i might be wrong 😭

[young moss]

😭

[buoyant stump]

Only in the mornings is a bit weird, I'd say, other than that not too bad unless you get wasted
