I finally managed to upload the pictures of the JapAniMangaNight Event from last weekend! Unusually, I didn’t take many pictures this time and I didn’t feel like I have to… but for my memories I simply had to grab out my camera. Yep, as you will see at the end, I became again a maid  _{I love maid-outfits}  It was a hard and intensive weekend; cooking Okonomiyaki, serving drinks and coffee, less sleep and lots of hungry people. But all in all: we had a lively time, I met nice new people and the event was – like always – a big success! I look forward to next year; bigger, better and even more fun!

I also listed up the other events, which I attended:

MUBA 2012

MUBA – Mustermesse Basel  Switzerland’s biggest public fair

Good Day everyone!

There are many exhibitions and fairs all around Switzerland at the moment. Some weeks ago, we had a lot of interesting presentations about the famous and popular destinations of Switzerland at school. One of them was Basel and my school mate has recommended us to go and visit the MUBA (Sample Fair). I didn’t have school yesterday and luckily I could snatch a discounted fair ticket for 5 CHF on groupon.ch. (Have a look there and click on “Basel”, they do offer the ticket regularly).

I didn’t know that the MUBA was carried out for the first time during the 1^st World War in order to present the products of Swiss industry and agriculture. In recent decades, it has developed more and more into a nation customer goods and theme show.

The MUBA trade exhibition has many many exhibitors and an incredible variety of goods on living, building, garden, household, fashion, multimedia, health, sports, travel and culture, food and drink and lots more. They even have unusual attractions and special presentations and fashion shows.

If you are interested in spending a beautiful day with a stroll through an exhibition with a wide product range, MUBA is the right place to go!

Long time no… see? I am really sorry for not updating my Blog in the past few days!  The situation is as follows:

I feel a bit stressed at the moment, especially this week was/will be horror.   I had a job interview and some unpleasant experiences at a personnel consulting yesterday… I have to learn for school, hold a one hour presentation, we are very busy at work – gosh, I have to tidy up and I am still not satisfied with my new bedroom yet.  Aaah, I wish I were on a beautiful lonely island without any pressure, load strain…. Forget everything around me and just switch off, relax and fill my soul with new refreshing energy – that would be the solution!  Anyway life isn’t easy and I’ll have to deal with it. *fight*

However, I would like to show you some impressions of the Giardina fair in Zurich, where I went on Sunday. My mum loves gardening so she joined me.

Every year, the garden season opens with Giardina, the extraordinary exhibition of everything to do with living in the garden. Switzerland’s leading exhibition in the garden sector recorded a major success the thirteenth time round too. For the fifth Giardina in succession, all seven halls at Messe Zürich were fully booked out.

A total of 260 exhibitors from eight European countries offered an incredible variety of content over more than 28,000 m² and once again had the visiting public in raptures. Some 63,000 visitors treated themselves to the enjoyable experience of the extraordinary design concepts and the impressive presentations. Giardina once again demonstrated that it is the quality leader amongst the indoor garden exhibitions in Europe. Thanks to the inspired creations, innovations and trends it presented, the elegant event confirmed that is second-to-none and enhanced its standing still further. (giardina.ch)

When people are getting crazy and thousands of bizarrely clad people are singing and dancing away the winter – then you know that it’s Carnival (a glittering outdoor party, where chaos and merriness reign and nothing is as it normally is)  The best time for amusing mood and music, colorful and jolly parades! During the carnival days, people turn the cities to a center of happiness and joy~

 

An the best thing about it is: I can wear my whatever I like,
