I've seen these posters all around Bonn since basically my first weeks living here. There was a Nazi protest going on today, and everyone wanted to show that Bonn and Germany won't stand behind that, so a bunch of us joined in the huge counter protest as the Nazis marched through Beuhl (the city across the Rhein). There were massive police barracades, in full riot gear, separating us from the Nazis, but I yelled and clapped along with everyone else, so I think I did my part to join in against them :] The weather was gorgeous and one of the stages played Peter Fox, so I think it was successful. Also, I took a picture with a dude wearing a "I <3 Jews" shirt! #peopleskills

I proceeded to spent most of the rest of my day laying out in the hofgarten. I'm trying to build up my tan before Croatia so I don't get burned to a crisp as I do every vacation. I bought German Glamour magazine and I absolutely adore it so far. The articles are way better than the US version, talking about how to organize your fridge and female directors to look up to compared to boys and clothes non-stop in the US counterpart. So far I've understood allmost of the articles, which helps :]

 Tonight, I went to a play put on by the Universität Bonn and assistant directed by my theatre teacher. They did a version of Jean Anouilh's L'Orchestre/Das Orchester, an absurdist French play. There was live music, lots of wigs, grown men is high heels and dresses.. basically it was fabulous. I had to waltz on stage with a woman in a suit ("Linken Fuß weg, rechten Fuß vor" and repeat!). Hopefully we don't need to write a summation though, because the dialogue went over my head at times. It was an absurdist French play! I had no idea what to expect. But the entire cast had some great physical comedy and they all perfected acting even when you don't have a line. It was distractingly good :) Glad to see live theatre again. Maybe Hair in a couple of weeks?
