I had to get up to meet Son and Giang at the Asia supermarket because we need to buy some groceries for today&#8217;s planned lunch\/dinner. They had a lot in their minds. Of course, I didn&#8217;t have to suffer alone that&#8217;s why I took Phi with me. He is also a late riser like me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Asia market isn&#8217;t far away from my accommodation. It was refreshing to go for a walk in the morning. The shop is a vast hall, where one side, they store the products in large amounts, and on the other side of the building, they sell the products there. I helped them with finding the needed ingredients. Sometimes it was confusing because to have five different sorts of wheat noodles. Or some staff members don&#8217;t understand what we wanted to buy.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We spent a lot of time in the shop, and it was quite fascinating how many different kinds of products they are selling. Some of them I&#8217;ve never seen them before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_627\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-627\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-627\" src=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/12304-16-at-21.18.23.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/12304-16-at-21.18.23.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/12304-16-at-21.18.23-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/12304-16-at-21.18.23-150x200.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 85vw, 296px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asia shop buying some ingredients<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Giang and Phi, which were the cooks for this day, threw together a lot of meals, i.e. Mapo Tofu, Tempura (fried battered vegetables and chicken), noodle soup and of course, my favourite brownies!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At first, I played Age of Empires II with Son on my laptop during Giang and Phi were cooking (Son beat me thoroughly. I want to have revenge!). But then, my conscience came to my mind, I tried to help them with preparing dinner. I got the honourable task to wash the mushrooms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because of my limited cooking skills, I failed to fulfil my duty, which was quite significant. Usually, you have to speckle the dirt with a tissue away. But I washed them under flowing water and gave them Giang. She battered them, and Phi had to fry them. Maybe you can imagine what will happen next. The result was a lot of small mushroom bombs, which were going to explode during deep-frying process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sorry, Phi .__.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After having a big dinner, where we have plenty left again even every one of us was full until we could roll, the next highlight was &#8218;The Escape Room&#8216;. By the way, the food was quite delicious like always, a big thanks to our cooks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_511\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-511\" style=\"width: 672px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-511\" src=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-15-at-21.07.07.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"672\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-15-at-21.07.07.jpeg 672w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-15-at-21.07.07-300x196.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-15-at-21.07.07-200x131.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Escape Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Escape Room&#8217;s theme was &#8218;The Preacher&#8216;. A famous killer called &#8218;The Preacher&#8216; kidnapped and captured us. At the beginning of this game Giang, Jenny, Phi, Son, Tim and I were locked in a room. We aimed to escape from the room within 60 minutes by solving tricky tasks and puzzles. The first room was very dark, where our group were handcuffed to the wall \u00a0&#8230; however, I don&#8217;t want to tell anymore if somebody wants to try this escape room as well. Unfortunately our skills and talents weren&#8217;t enough to finish the game, but still, we enjoyed it a lot. In the late evening, we decided to go to Cuckoo, which is a known bar in Belfast. The bar is unique. You ask why? At the entry, I played Paper, Scissors, Stone about the admissions with a staff member there. Either win the game or pay \u00a33. Sadly, fortune left me before; I had to pay the fee. But it doesn&#8217;t irritate me. I think it is great to offer such a possibility to the guests. Another speciality about Cuckoo was the many arcade games. This visit was the first time, where I have been in a bar. Nevertheless, the experience was quite enjoyable. Most of the time I played games, i.e. Air hockey, Mario Kart or martial arts games with Son and had my Seven Up. Jenny wasn&#8217;t feeling well the whole day, and Phi, Jenny and me determined to leave at midnight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, the last two days I had a lot of fun and I want to thank all the persons, who were present the last days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_919\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-919\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-919 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-29-at-23.48.02-e1525042197168-1024x602.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-29-at-23.48.02-e1525042197168-1024x602.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-29-at-23.48.02-e1525042197168-300x176.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-29-at-23.48.02-e1525042197168-768x451.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-29-at-23.48.02-e1525042197168-200x118.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/userblogs.fu-berlin.de\/afibinirland2018\/files\/2018\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-04-29-at-23.48.02-e1525042197168.jpeg 1171w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cuckoo, Son and me<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the 2nd part of my birthday party started early compared to my usual Saturdays since I&#8217;ve been here.
