Weekend @ Gent, summed up

I used the words 'summed up' to make people believe this is gonna be a short post   c:

DAY 1: DAYTIME
- took the train and it was calm. then I had to take the tram to go to the city centre and could barely move lol
- went to my sister's appartment and she and a friend were playing this 'guess all the countries in the world quiz' (you get a blank world map and you have to sum up as many countries as possible and you get a certain amount of minutes to do so. Each time you guess a country, the country is coloured green on the map

 check me being in love with myself

- I told her I wanted to try the quiz, too, later that day and that my result would be better.
- my sister wanted to go to the supermarket. I went with her to help. My sis bought the bottle of martini she promised me earlier, two bottles of tequila and one crate of beer
- the supermarket wasn't super far away, but we had to walk a while: so with bottles in our handbags and both holding this crate through the city centre (now I know what daily Scouse activities are like)
- after bringing everything to my sister's appartment I decided to go to the city myself
- I visited shops
- I went inside Primark, during sales. I know it was a bad idea and still did it
- I was surrounded by people all the time .___.
- Then I walked a bit further to the Lush store since good friends (and housemates) of my sisters work there and I went to say hello, which I always do when I'm in Gent
- I also bought soaps with lemon/lime flavour and pink lipstick  c:

- Then I went to this really nice store that sells decorations/posters/lamps/plushies to see if this plush I really wanted was still there. And it was! It was kinda expensive but eventually I decided to buy it anyway (impulse shopping, which is a rare thing for me to do)
- The plush is literally an angry bird. It looks kinda pissed/annoyed so I decided to name it 'John' XDDD

- Before I left her appartment, my sister asked to look for another bottle of alcohol to use for a cocktail. So after I passed the other stores, I went to a (different) supermarket.
- But this one was even more located in the city centre and super busy so it was all chaos
- Back at the appartment, I did the 'countries of the world' test and beat my sister. She guessed about 100 countries and I guessed 126. (what did she expect, I graduated in tourism. back in highschool this was almost basic knowledge for me. hah)
- also, I think I am now officially sorted into my Beatles house. My sister was having a party at 5pm, but there weren't a lot of people yet and her appartment was kinda empty so I went to a nearby square. I was alone, it was dark and cold and long story short I was being a loner wearing pink and then:

that damn store

DAY 1: NIGHTTIME/PARTY
- I was chatting with people at the party and we were talking about music genres. At first I started by saying I really love 90s music. I'm always kinda scared to tell people I love everything 90s since most people considering it ridiculous XD turns out one of these girls loves 90s music as well so I felt pretty relieved.
BUT THEN at one point. We talked about favourite band. First, I laughed and said:
'haha, ye, I have some favourite bands, I guess'
'You know what's funny?'
'So, I like certain music from the 60s'
'Well, I'm a big Beatles fan'
'... and my other favourite band is Black Eyed Peas and these two are completely different'
(the things you say when you consume alcohol -nervous laughing-)
for me saying that felt a bit like coming out, since I never said it to anyone before XDD (I know it sounds ridiculous)
At least I haven't gotten that drunk that I admitted to anyone I like Paul McC- okay neverrr mind this line doesn't exist
- my sister made us blue curaçaos (scorp sis enjoyed the alcohol a bit too much lol)

 - Then we all played cards against humanity. I already told you about this one person who played the 'Scousers' card and that I was the only one who knew what 'Scousers' are. I was kinda jealous that someone else got that card haha. I thought I didn't have any Liverpool related cards, but I now remember I had this card that said 'The Hillsborough Disaster'
- I assume you don't know about this disaster (a human crush at Hillsborough football stadium in Sheffield, in 1989, during the semi-final game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest) why did I get such a sad carrrd ;-; (don't look it up, a lot of Scousers died)
- a few hours later, some people had already left
- at first we wanted to go sit on the roof but we couldn't get on it cuz the entrance to the roof was closed
- so my sister proposed going out in the city (it was now +-midnight)

DAY 2: NIGHTTIME
- at one point my sister opened a bottle (I think it was champagne, since they popped a bottle. I was startled lmao)
- we went to a nearby park and then went to the playground
- we were the only ones there and everyone was playing around
- I was on a swing I was smiling the entire time

 scorp sis, lol

- oh ye fun fact, my sister (not the scorp sis) forgot to put on her actual shoes when we left her appartment. she was walking around on her slippers all the time lol)

- then we went to the city centre again, people wanted to drink and I just hung out with them X3

- then we went back to my sisters appartment, but I went to bed not much later cuz I was getting tired

DAY 2: DAYTIME

- I didn't get a lot of sleep. I woke up early. I'm guessing between 6:15AM and 6:30AM

- every one else was still asleep

- I stayed in bed until about 9AM and got dressed

- I had to be quiet since the appartment was full of sleeping people (I think 7 people stayed over, including myself)

- I went for a morning walk through the city (even tho my feet hurt at this point)

 

- I visited my sister's house just outside the city centre, then we went back to the city centre to the others since there was a small event with free drinks and I had glühwein
- we kept walking around (walking was torture for me, since my feet hurt because of my heels (almost typed feels lol) and Gent is full of  cobblestones
- After this we went back to me sister's appartment and I packed me stuff
- lol I went to Gent with just my handbag and came back with my handbag and a suitcase (my mum asked me to bring back home one of the suitcases that were at my sister's place)
- it was handy because I could carry all the heavy and big things (like John the bird lol) in it, but not very handy if you have to travel/walk through a city
- normally I think it's funny to see students carry all their bags and/or suitcases, but this time I was the only one with a suitcase this bag -help-

- I didn't look up when I had a train I just left and when I arrived at the station I had 4 minutes to get on my train and get through the station with that huge thing. I was still on time
- When I arrived in the next city, I was right in time for my bus: it was about to leave (I had to run while wearing heels and with a suitcase why thooo)

this blog post doesn't really have an ending
so just remember: people who can sleep with their eyes open and are scouse are witches    c:
