Martin's birthday party and misc

English post today because it deals with international (life and death) matters. (like always on this blog!)
Last monday it was the birthday party of Martin, a swedish Unitech guy. You probably don't care but this lucky bastard is living in a WG (shared flat) in the very center of Aachen with 7 other persons, 3 floors, 3 bathrooms, huge living room, terrasse and sauna on the last floor... Reminds me I live in the (cheap) hobo place and (quality) drug area!

Casual party at the beginning which has been spiced up with strange traditions from (not so) far countries.

• Czech Republic brought to us by Honza (big guy on the left)
  

For your birtday in this country, you have to be at least 5 persons.
1. You, who lays on the back on the floor
2. A friend of yours, lifting you by the arms
3. A friend of yours, lifting you by the legs
4. A (strong-built) friend of yours, kneeled on the ground
5 and more. friends of yours laughing their asses off, taking pictures eventually

Picture the scene, you are being lifted by your friend like a piece of meat and then, they swing you like a pendulum and make you hit the poor kneeled guy as many times as the number of year you've reached this day. Personally, I was in the 5. category, and I wet my pants!

• Spain brought to us by Nuria (on the left) and Paula (on the right)
  

This one is more common. Two friends of yours have to pull earlobes as many times as the number of year you've reached this day. It's just getting longer and longer with years (the time you pull, not your earlobes!)


After these exotic traditions, leeeeeeet's dance!!! (like David Bowie would say)
And now, I speak to my french friends with weird musical taste. I looked up on Martin's computer and what did I found? Well, he's swedish... that's a clue. Answer...


But I was really surprised and rather sad not to find any Basshunter title in the music library... Nobody's perfect.
Well, this party ended as it couldn't have been expected. Well it could, but I won't tell neither who was wasted nor about the two cars of "Bullen"... Oops!
