Fasnacht/February/Rap concerts











Hello Loves!
Well i am currently sitting on my bed looking outside. It is such a beautiful day! The sun is shinning and there is no fog what so ever. If i didnt know any better i would think that Spring was on its way!!. Lots has been happening this month! February is "fasnacht" so imagine Halloween, every weekend, For an entire month!. needless to say ITS AMAZING. Every weekend We get to dress up and go somewheres to dance. They have this special music called Pronounced GOO KEN Musik. Its like, hmm. i guess they are like small groups of marching band type music, its really awesome there will be music playing and then all of a sudden you hear these big drums and they march in and play. I love it! They have special outfits that they wear and everything. My First Fasnacht was in Egnach and that was an amazing night but at first i was really hating it because the ground was soaking wet from all the rain and i was wearing these DINKY little white shoes that are made just out of material and the line up was HUUUGE like, we had to wait at leeeaaastt and hour. Sarah and I were standing there frusterated and these BITCHES besides Sarah started to like shove her. And just imagine like 100 people all SQUISHED together, we couldnt help being pressed up against people. and the thing is.. these woman were like 40.. And i am sorry but these things are more for kids. they HAVE special ones for the parents. So she keep shoving sarah and sarah is getting like... right angry, and there is only so much a person can take, after.. i would say about 40 minutes of these womans COMPLETELY idiotic, immature behavior, the one woman who is by a fence, literally grabs the fence and starts thrusting her butt towards sarah. Sarah snapped. she turned to the woman and yelled as loud as she could " WOULD YOU FUCKING STOP IT, HOLY FUCK, GROW UP or GET OUT. FUCK!' hahaha!
and then
they did
HAHAHAHAH i mean sarah may be a little tiny munchie. but she has LOTS of bite, and its funny because i have seen Sarah angry, but NEVER like this. but really. Annnyyywaaaayyss, so then We get inside and i go to the coat check, which was free. thank god. things are NEVER free in switzerland, and we just kinda are dancing around with my current host sister Melanie and Her friend and then they kinda peace it, so we are walking around chilling dancing and then we spot my current host brother and his best friend, and ended up partying with them all night, It was a lot of fun, And we ended up going out together last weekend, and are going out tonight together too i believe. I am excited for tonight because the Fasnacht is in my town so we wont have to get a cab or worry about trains to go home. My costumes so far have been heidi and a sailor. and i think i will go again as a sailor w/ Sarah. Hmm what else is new. OOH. and at these parties. It is seriously UNREAL how many people come up to Sarah and I and are like " HEYYY!! YAAAA JERRIE (CHERRY) AND SARAH, CANADIANS! RIGHT!? HAHAH YEAAA" and then dance... but the thing is. we have NO idea who these people are. How do these people know us! so funny.
School is gay ass. But oh well. Holidays on march 28th! woooooooo!
mom and dad if you are wondering, my quarterly report is in haha
Feelings lots more comfortable with my Classmates and they are actually inviting me out to do things!! ... finally only after 6 months.
Hmmm. OH for all of you curious as to my date coming home.. it has been changed. BECAUSE grrr... Rotary finally sent us the email when euro tour will be... and guess what it ENDS the July 1st. When i was suppose to get home June 30th! ARRRRRGG
but alas. I am thinking what will be best for me. and i think either july 3rd or july 4th is when i will get home. I am kinda sad i wont be there for Canada day, woulda been nice thats forsure. Since i am FILLED with Canadian pride now (exchange does that to you) its like select hearing for the word.
Uncle Kenny, I have been told by my friend Katie that in Luasanne they have this Museum for the olympics and they have a special section for Hockey! they have wayne's Jersey there too. SO COOL.
OOH the girls in my class invited me to EUROPA PARK. i think it costs like 50 euro or so. But they are driving and i am SO excited cause i have wanted to go there ever since i heard about it. I think we are going April 10th!
ON SUNDAY WE ARE GOING T FASNACHT IN BASEL its organized by rotary to go to basel at midnight and we have to wait until 4 AM!! then THE ENTIRE city goes PITCH black, and then you hear the tiny sound of a piccolo and then the gooken music starts everywheres. I am really excited (that and i get to miss a bit of school) :P
my mom sent me an email this morn. and it really hit me when she said "just 19 short weeks" i was like... whoa. what.
i only have 19 more weeks here
wtf!
AHHHHHHH
SO MUCH STILL TO DO!
i need to still, paddle boat in Luzern, and Play an Alp Horn and go to a chocolate factory!
I can't wait for euro tour. sigh.

Fasnacht! Fasnacht! Fasnacht!
Holy crap Jerrie! I you tubed it - and the parades look awesome! But what is the significance of it starting at 4AM? Make sure you take some video to bring home to show us all!
You have made SO MANY new friends there - and I am not surprised at all that you and Sarah are well known as the CANADIAN GIRLS! The two of you make such an outstanding pair - you so fair - she so dark!
I really feel from your blog and everything else that Switzerland has become your second home! You have definately become MISS SWISS!
Enjoy your adventure!!!!!!!!!!!! I can just imagine what EUROTOUR will be for you! You will have a BLAST! and what a fabulous way to end your exchange! Thanks for keeping up with the blogs in your "spare"
time!!!! hahaha! All of us really appreciate hearing how much fun you are having!
LOVE YOU TO THE MOON & BACK!

Hey Jer! So nice to hear from you and see the pictures! I love the celebrational vibe that the culture shows. I think it's amazing. I wonder if Canada is perhaps a lot more 'celebrational' than I realize but because of being here, I don't notice it in the same way. I think that the perspective you are given on an exchange is amazing. Thank you for writing! It is so appreciated and you look fantastic. Love Carrie
