Tea Party!

We arrive back at the university (after lunch at Rainer and Leila's house) at 4:45pm, and we immediately head to Amy's flat to attend a Tea Party (which already started at 4pm). When we arrive we quickly put our apple cake (which was in the fridge overnight) in the oven to heat up. The table in the kitchen is crowded with every time of cake imaginable. The idea of the tea party was to bring a cake or sweet dish from your home country. Petra and I try and taste every type of cake, and we make sure we don't miss one! but it turns our our eyes are bigger than our stomachs and by the end of the tea party we feel rather full and there is no need to prepare anything for dinner!
Chatting and eating, and eating...and eating...and eating...and eating (in the photo from left, Michelle (North Carolina, Amy (SA), Sophie (France), Ceylon (Hong Kong), Dora (Germany), Daniel (Germany), Barbara (Prague), Petra and Wolfi)

Our AMAZING apple cake!
Some more cake...

After the tea party a group of us decide to go ice-skating, as we are all suffering from "sugar highs" from eating too much cake! We go ice-skate at 6:30pm, in -20 degrees weather!! brrrrrrrrrr, it is cold but we make sure to ice-skate extra first to keep ourselves warm. Later on we start a snow fight with huge chunks of snow that we break off from the side of the ice rink...my ice-skating has improved considerably while I have been here and I am able to skate at quite a fast pace...which is much more fun especially if you are dodging huge chunks of snow that is being thrown at you...
