Never Have I Ever...
Stuttgart Meets Oxford: 14 Things We - A Group of Students from HdM - Never Thought We Would Do.
…been to an English cinema.
Storytime: Tiny, cosy place. As a German, have you ever wondered in which movie scenes English people laugh? We can tell you - there are different types of humour. Let's just say, we expected better taste from the Oxford society that is known for their elitness - but we have to admit taking a glass of wine with you to the screens, was pleasing.
…almost been turned into street art by a car coming from the wrong direction.
Storytime: In Germany, cars come from the right. In Oxford, they come from your blind spot, your nightmares, and apparently everywhere but where you expect.
…pulled a rare Pokémon card from an English Booster Pack.
Storytime: It‘s quite difficult to get your hands on any Pokémon Booster Packs these days. You want to know where I got mine from? Here.
…scored a free bus ride till Oxford university.
Storytime: We just wanted to ask the busdriver if this is our bus. “To the uni? - Then it’s for free!”
…thrown my can in a litter box (felt illegal).
Storytime: Germans have the holy PFAND system.
…entered a pub 15 minutes before the kitchen closed.
Storytime: You can order food at the Britannia Inn until 8:45 pm - the burgers are amazing!
…been embarrassed to walk through Oxford with suitcases. #touristsclichee
Storytime: we couldn’t check before 3 pm, but we arrived at 11 am, so we walked through the city with all our stuff in a group.
…tried to buy beer without my ID and been kept as a deposit in a grocery store.
Stoytime: Us Germans are known for drinking beer. What we didn’t know about: Challenge 25.
…eaten a Rote Wurst in the UK.
Storytime: After being in England for approximately 2 hours, Ben and Lars had already started to miss home. Despite having loads of other options from around the world they decided to get a Rote Wurst.
…had to figure out how to lock a front door for 20 minutes and planned to break into my own garden.
Storytime: We couldn’t figure out how to prevent thieves from entering our house at night by locking the door, so we tried to come up with creative ideas.
…got told so many times in one day to go to the barber shop.
Storytime: My hair must look so bad, everyone told me to go to the barber, at like every barber shop we passed.
…listen to a story about English-breakfast beans for over 10 minutes.
Storytime: A curious question about English-Breakfast turned into a full 10 minute monologue about beans and Bowel Movement.
…shared one bathroom with 10 people.
Storytime: Ben suggested to time the bath usage in slots of 15 minutes each (starting at ripe 6 am… also did we mention the bathroom door has no lock?).
…laughed so much in such a short time than on the trip in UK.
Storytime: it doesn’t matter where you stay or where you’re at, when you are with the right people.
