Wednesday

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Determined to speak only German since arriving in Switzerland-- Neekola has put her hard work of learning the language to good use! (And believe me, I saw her lugging German books around and going to class!) She's been both excited and dedicated to to communicate with everyone around her. It seems that this trip, now knowing a bit more German, has been extra special to her---- shes has unveiled her personality to her friends and has really gotten to know the team (AS Calcio), their girlfriends, the people of the Bee Company, Metropol bar, and various other people she's met while in Kreuzlingen. In exchange, she has also been able to discover the individuality and character of her new friends.

The last Saturday in town Neekola spun at a local bar called Metropol, owned by Dario, DJ Butterfly. Her Good friend Naomi came into town for it and despite Neekola reporting she was nervous (Dario is a big name among DJ's in the area), she rocked out... people were dancing on bars, singing along to her remixes, cheering for her original tracks and she even slipped in a few special remixes of old Italian folk songs. It was a night that was to be remembered and she (and everyone else) has an amazing time.












bacchi disco?!?!

---e-mail from Neekola "Switzerland is so amazing. There are a lot of great things about this place, but the people here in Kreuzlingen are what make it so special to me. Its quite difficult to explain here on the email how much I really love these people here, but these people are so very unique. Each and every person here has such a big heart and is so full of love for everyone around them, its really something special."

From what she has told me she's been having a blast. She could not speak more good words of the AS Calcio football team. She stole the spotlight in Kreuzlingen spinning for AS Calcio at a restaurant called Centro Italiano--- they actually converted the back of the restaurant, (which typically is a bacchi ball arena !!!) into a giant disco!












There was a VIP area, a full bar where the team had served as bartenders, a big DJ booth area, and a HUGE dance floor. She spent the night Djing with the talented Oliver Klinghoffer! He is an amazing DJ with great music from Katakomb nightclub, and she always has a great time working with him when she's over there. (She kept saying how wonderful and friendly he is). They had a huge turnout and a wonderful time.
