Hey folks , after my blogs –It’s Happy Hour Somewhere my Dear!- Overview and –It’s Happy Hour Somewhere my Dear! – Cheap Thursday, here is now my version of a real cheap Wednesday. If you happen to be in Rostock on a Wednesday and want to save as much money as possible while discovering student nightlife […]
Pubs and Bars
It’s Happy Hour Somewhere my Dear! – Overview
Yes, I’m writing about Nightlife. But: No, this won’t be too much about the cosiness of pubs or friendliness of staff, but about the cheapness of drinks, …which is the most important feature if you ask me 😉 Especially if you are in a city like Rostock, where there’s a small, and welcoming pub or restaurant […]
Inexpensive Girls Night Out
It is best known that most students are on a veeeeeery low budget. Nevertheless, students really like to party – from time to time at least 😉 . If you and your friends are looking for a great and cheap night out in Rostock, don’t worry! There’s something I’d like to mention: You might know […]
A sparkling way to spend a Monday night
I suppose Monday is the least beloved day of the week for most people. For most people the working week starts on Monday which is why probably most people seldom go out on a Monday night. But there are always exceptions to the rule, like me 😉 Since I`m a student, I’m pretty much […]
The KTV: Rostock’s little Berlin-Friedrichshain
As a proper Berlin city girl, I’ve got to say that there was one thing I missed the most when I first moved from the well-known Berlin flair to Rostock. Streets packed with people sitting in front of cafes or bars; little shops where you can buy nearly everything, from wallets made of remanufactured material […]
5 More Things that will Surprise an American in Germany
So, after last week’s post, I couldn’t help but look around for things that are different in Germany compared to the US in daily life. I realised that my list was in no way exhaustive, and that it probably is impossible to write a comprehensive list on this topic. But I’ll give it another go, […]
The bestest cake in town
I like a little competition: One day, a friend and I decided to look for the café or bakery that serves the best cake in town. My friend is the Cookie Monster in person. Apple pie or Cupcake, Croissant or Éclair, Baklava or Börek – he is devoted to pastries. To be honest, I prefer […]
Café Käthe – more than a café
A Café usually means a coffeehouse where you meet up with friends, talk for hours, maybe grab a bite to eat, and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Café Käthe is a little bit more exotic. Of course, you can do all of the above there. Don’t mistake Café Käthe for your average coffeehouse, though — it’s […]
Freigarten – A different spin on the beer garden
If I would be asking a foreign guest of mine to visit a beer garden with me, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next comments I’d hear from him would contain words like ‘pretzels’, ‘weiss beer’ or ‘Bavarian’. And that’s exactly when my previously laid out trap to extinguish this sort of stereotyped idea on […]
The 101 of Tabletop Football in Rostock
Since I have already given you my personal recommendation for watching and playing some good old amateur football in Rostock, I feel it is time to do something good for those among you looking for a more laid-back leisure activity. But I won’t part with my favourite piece of sports equipment just yet. As you […]
Bowling at the HCC? Strike!
Oh my god, your birthday is pending once again! Your birthday PARTY is pending once again! So, where to celebrate? At home? Too much dirt and mess. At a bar? A bit ordinary in the long run. At the HCC? Great! That’s it! The “Holiday City Center” (HCC) offers the perfect location to have an […]
Pleitegeier: Whisky Spot No.1 in Rostock?
Distinct but not exclusive, rowdy but amiable, unkempt but cosy – all these seemingly paradoxical features are marvelously reconciled in my local, the Pleitegeier. If “my home is my castle”, then my local (pub) is certainly my anchor: my anchor to that public environment separate of nearly all of the pretence required in standard public […]
