TIME HAS COME! I am now 30! A New beginning....30's is the new 20's!!! :)The start of my 30's have been a blast. The Germans think it's bad luck to wish someone a happy birthday before their birthday....well, what if someone celebrated it before their birthday!!! I sure did, the Canadian way I guess. If your birthday is on a weekday, then it needs to be celebrated on the weekend either the week before or the week after depending on when the actual birthday is. hehehe. None the less, I had a great celebrations with my new friends here in Germany. I'm glad the party was tame and we didn't drink until we got sick. It was just perfect. A great way to start my 30's.
So being that I am hosting a party, there has to be a cake. So I made my own. Yes, not ideal, but I want a good cake. It's important to me to have a cake. Perhaps it's because I have had a cake every birthday and a birthday without a cake isn't right.
It's Choclate Zucchini Cake. YES!!! There are 2 Zucchini's in it. It sure was yummy. My guests wanted the recipe. hehhe.
The waffles was my idea from Vienna....oh right. I didn't talk about my holidays. I guess that would be tomorrow's post. Vienna pictures.
So in Vienna, they are known for making waffles. The Manner brand. It's Austria's trade mark....I think. It's on Wikipedia.

So, Jan and I were brain stroming what else I should do at my party. Jan misses Bubble Tea. So he searched the internet to find a German provider. We looked all over town first but kind of gave up. He then found a provider so we decided to order 3kg since the small package wasn't available. We got 80 straws as well. I wonder how many we can use with 3kg of perals. I'm not sure if we can do it, but it's worth a try. So on the day of the party, we gave it a try so that my guests who haven't had this before would be able to try something new. :) THANKS Stella for putting bubble tea in my christmas package. I wasn't sure what you had in store for me. We went a head to get it before your package got to me. :) I wonder what tastes better. 5 min bubble tea or 25 min bubble tea. HEHEHE.
So here are some of the decorations.
Sorry Chrystyna, I've been meaning to take pictures of my place for you. I have them in my files. I just haven't had the time to send them to you...or did I? I forget. I'll get on it.
So I didn't want to stare my guests so I made bread. It was the best batch ever. YUM. I should make more today, but I think we are all out of yeast. Bummer. Next week I guess.
So here we are, hanging out after our fondue. It was delicious. A lot of chocolate to ring in my 30's. So the gal on the end is Sonia. Another pure German. hehehe. Besides Nikola and Jan. hehehe. I met Sonia at a circuit training class. She was brave enough to come talk to me. Not many people do since I look so Asian. 
A picture of our first celebration. :) Jan has been very supportive and amazing during my stay. He's the greatest boyfriend I have ever had....well, only had.
So as the night went on, we had a drink. Not to many as I had volleyball the next day. 2 other people arrived to celebrate with me. Yu-Chun from China and Chris from London. We ended up playing Rummy-o, they got me a new game (Halligalli Extreme) and then Karoke. You got to check this out on FB. I will post the video there.
And so at the end of the night, we had a great Mango Fig Liquor Bubble tea. Who would ever know that I would have bubble tea on my birthday this year....in Germany. hehhee.
AND this is the mess after the party. What a day.
Thanks Jan for cleaning up the mess.
A day I won't forget.....but the best day was the actual day where I got to spend the whole day with my boyfriend.
Pictures in the next post.
