In early February, one of my closest friends from university in Chile came to visit me. We first met on the first day of classes while waiting for the bus and quickly realized that we were both starting our bachelor's degrees in engineering, shared the same classes, and lived very close to each other. Naturally, we became friends from the beginning. For the last six months, Benjamin had been on exchange in Zurich and spent his last month in Europe traveling. Before going to Copenhague, he stopped by to visit me here in Kiel. It was great to spend time with him one last time, as we don't know when we will see each other again. We went to Schilksee, one of the beaches here in Kiel, because Benja wanted to experience the German beach and the Baltic Sea. The sea was very calm, resembling a lake because there were no waves, and we are used to much bigger waves on the coasts of Chile. Then we had a new experience as it started snowing while we were on the beach, something we never thought we would experience. After that, we went to see the Rathaus and the Kiellinie, walking towards the city center. It was a short but very enjoyable visit.
On the other hand, on February 9th, I had to go to Hannover because Axel, one of my closest friends from school, had his final piano concert for his Klavierausbildung at the "Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover". It was very exciting to be able to see him perform because we met in piano classes in school and grew up together learning the piano. However, at the age of 17, he decided that he wanted to study piano professionally and that he had to go to Germany for that. He studied and prepared a lot to be accepted into one of the universities, and in 2018 he got into the university he wanted. Back then we always said that when I started my master's degree, he would have his final concert, both here in Germany. After five years, it was indeed what happened, and it was impressive to hear the level he had reached in piano. I am very proud of him.
Sunny Days
The weather has been very nice in Kiel lately, and I hadn't realized how much I missed the sun till now. So, my friend Daniel (from Colombia) and I, on the mornings when we had free time, would always go to the "Kleiner Kiel" lake or the "Schrevenpark" park to enjoy the sun, read, walk, and even study for an exam. Since I moved to an apartment near both places, I usually go for walks there, and I love it. The photo shows the "Schrevenpark" park, which is always full of geese, ducks, and dogs.
Kieler Umschlag
Between the 2nd and 5th of March was the "Kieler Umschlag," which is an annual festival celebrated in Kiel. The origin of the Kieler Umschlag dates back to the 13th century when Hanseatic League merchants began trading in the city of Kiel. At that time, merchants would gather at the "Umschlagplatz," which was a place where commercial transactions took place and goods were exchanged. Over time, the Umschlagplatz became a meeting place not only for merchants but also for peasants and artisans from the region. During the Middle Ages, the Kieler Umschlag became an important fair in northern Germany, where products such as wool, fish, salt, iron, and other local goods were traded. Over time, the Kieler Umschlag evolved and became a more festive and cultural event, celebrating the culture and traditions of the region. Although the event has changed over the centuries, it still maintains a connection to its rich history and is an important part of Kiel's cultural heritage. The festival features numerous food and beverage stands, as well as crafts and local products set in medieval times. There are also live performances, music, and entertainment for all ages. Additionally, during these days, there are many people dressed up in the streets. The photo shows what I liked the most about the festival, the wonderful Shanty-Chor of Kiel, which perform traditional sailor songs. The songs are usually about life at sea, adventures on the high seas, love, and nostalgia for home.
