Party week

The ang-mohs really love beers and parties. I had been drinking almost every night! And i guess its common for them to get a cup or two after lessons, cos i went drinking with them in an English pub on thurs after our swedish lang lesson, even before we had our dinner.

Before the 19th century, the swedes actually thought that drinking water is bad for their health, hence the drink beer instead, 6-7 liters a day. They used poatatos for alcohol fermentation, and in one of the year, they have used up so many pototoes, that it actually caused a famine in the following year. On the other hand, germans have a strong drinking culture cos after WWII, water condition was so bad that they have to drink beer. So i shall not sterotype the Europeans (they dun call them caucasians) as beer hungry people anymore, cos its pretty much a culture.

Corridor(aka hall or block in singapore context) Party is also something they liked. Its a time for them to get to know one another, and always with a can or two in their hands. They didnt have orientation camps like what we have. I wasnt quite used to this sort of party on the first few days, but i getting hooked onto it now. It is a good way to meet many people at one go.
