Witches and Wine - Halloween Diaries 🍷 🎃

So my first weekend in Germany was a banger because it was Halloween and it was Friday night, so it was just the perfect opportunity to party our hearts out. My roommate had a few of his friends over to make hotpot, and we started preparing in the evening. We have a spare room that’s kind of a guest room, but it was a huge mess since no one had been living there for quite some time, so it was just, you know, existing. So my roommate and I got to cleaning it up and setting it up for all the guests coming in, and yeah, we did that, and then slowly the guests arrived. All these people were very new to me, and I was excited to meet new people, but also a little like, okay, will I be able to fit in with them, or will it be awkward? But it wasn’t like that at all.

The first guest who arrived, at least as I remember, was Yasmine, and she is this tall, sexy woman, and she was wearing a witch outfit that looked stunning. I was like wow, this, this now definitely feels like Halloween. She was so sweet, and we hit it off right away, talking and having fun, and then a few more people arrived. In total, there were 8 of us. And I must say, it was a fun group. Everyone was talking, laughing, and I joined in as well, and it was a lot of fun. We were cooking the hotpot at the table. I was not a fan because it was my first time eating hotpot, and I was not expecting the ingredients that were there. Luckily, my roommate is vegan, so I didn’t have to worry about accidentally putting meat in my mouth (that’s what she said 😂). Everything was vegan, which was fine, but still, there were really new things I had never eaten before, and I was excited to try them all out. I pretty much tried everything in the hotpot, and I was sure it wasn’t for me.

But still, I was having fun eating it and sipping my glass of wine. The entire vibe so charming. The lights were down low, music was playing, and it was such a perfect start to the night. At one point, Yasmine broke a bottle of wine. It was half full, and she dropped it and broke it. I was like, yeah, now this is a real party, with a bottle of alcohol broken on the floor. She was busy cleaning it, and we were busy taking pictures and videos of her cleaning the kitchen in a witch outfit, which looked hilarious.

Then the next plan was to go to a club, but I wasn’t understanding when they actually planned to leave because it was already like 11, 11:30 pm, and no one was in a hurry to move. Back in India, we go to clubs around 9 or 10 p.m. and return by 1 or 2 a.m. But it was already 11, 11:30, and we were still at home, and no one seemed to be thinking of going out. So I was like, okay, I don’t know how things work here in Germany, but I’m here watching. Finally, around 12, everyone was like, okay, now we need to move, we need to get out of the house and go to the club.

Then the next order of business was dressing up in Halloween-y costumes and putting on make-up because most of them were wearing normal clothes, including me. I was wearing a black dress. I wanted to go for a Wednesday Addams look, but that didn’t work out. Everyone got busy dressing up and putting on make-up. I don’t really have make-up, so Halloween make-up wasn’t going to happen for me. But then Yasmine, being the sweetheart she is, offered to do my make-up. She gave me this really cool bite mark on my neck that looked like it was bleeding. It looked so good.

I was like, okay, this is my first time celebrating Halloween properly. I have great make-up on and I was really happy. After all this, everyone got ready. Finally, we left. I must mention my roommate Glenn, he had the best outfit out of everyone, and he looked so good in it. Finally, we left at 1:30 a.m., and I was very shocked.

But anyways, we got to the club, which wasn’t like a usual club. It’s an underground bunker with a lot of rooms, and every room has been turned into a party room. It was a techno night going on. I’m not very used to techno music, but I was really pumped to do this. We reached the club around 2, and the people at the reception said the event would go on till 5 a.m., and I was like, well, that’s definitely interesting. We got in, danced our hearts out, and there was a place to smoke and drink, so we chilled there as well. Around 4:30, most of us were tired.

I was very sleepy because I was having a little jet lag, and my body was still not used to the cold. After so much traveling and everything, my body was exhausted. So me and the girls found a room with mattresses and carpets, and we snuggled up together and started falling asleep. Then the guys came along and were like, okay, it’s time for us to leave now. We finally left, and I reached home at maybe 5:30 a.m., and I went to bed as I was. Gross, I know, but I was too extremely tired to even change out of my dress. I was completely exhausted, and moreover, I had completely forgotten that I had a bleeding bite mark on my neck. I forgot it was there, didn’t remove it, and just went to sleep. So the next morning when I woke up and went to the mirror to brush my teeth, I was like, what the fuck is this on my neck? Then I remembered what it was, and it was a huge task to take it off.

So, all in all, it was an amazing first weekend in Germany, a banger Halloween celebration, and I was really happy that I met these amazing people and had such a fun time. And I was excited for more of such nights to come.
