The universities of Germany are known for showing an old movie every Christmas, to sold-out audiences of students. This was my first year to go, invited by our friend Christian, who graciously wanted to be sure that I learn more of German culture (I told him upon re-entering Germany, that there were many things I'd like to grow in knowledge of about this culture and the language).
The movie is about several men having a drink around a bowl of glowing punch (you light up a sugar cone above a bowl of hot wine). They make a bet that one of them can not survive going undercover to high school (he has been reared in a wealthy family where he had only private tutors).
The name of the movie is the word for this special punch:
"Fire tongs bowl". After the movie we celebrated with sparklers outside in the snow... here is our friend Thanh!
Celebrating with friends Hannah, Sabrina, Anja, (me) and Birthe.
There were 2 showings that evening on campus, with probably 500-600 attending each one.
Elli, Hannah and Anja (we serve on staff of Connexxion together).
