no lessons for today! woohoo! for we are going to the ideenpark (pronounced as 'ee-day-en-park). the NUSlers(referring to NUS students as we were affectionately called over there) were accompanied by our teacher (Frau Grieser) and the techy guy called David whom some girls have a crush on! hee not telling. oh anyway, ideenpark is situated in messe stuttgart beside a HUGE bosch carpark. can't miss it.
inside, there are many different-themed exhibition halls showing the future of our lives and the various new technology that could somehow or rather CHANGE our lives. something like that. you know those futuristic stuff they say. haha. most of us were really tired walking around and although some of the exhibtitions were interesting and worth looking, most of it were really sciency techy stuff. so some of us were turned off. haha and and.. everything was in german unless you make a request to the staff tending the exhibition to explain the exhibit to you in english. The designs and exhibits were lovely to look at. There were mock-up deserts, outerspace, north poles, machines, rockets, huge vehicles, cars blah blah..
lunch was great. i ate a half meter hogdog. obviously they folded the sausage into half if not i would be dragging it on the floor while eating. my friends and i plopped ourselves down on a patch of grass and started eating away. we felt that the grass was quite wet but did not really mind as so many other people were also sitting on the grass. just then i said, 'erm guys, i think i know why's the grass so wet..' i pointed to a girl just a few metres away. she was pee-ing on the grass :/
breakfast: crepe with quark(pronounced as 'k-vark') and.. poppy seeds! i got high after eating this.
U-Bahn. i love the colour and the clean interior. Destination: MOHringen!
teehee. big cucumber for sale! ok sorry a little mean here :x
movenpick hotel! yes it is made of ice-cream!
ideenpark meaning ideas park. naomin and me here. erm just below the sign.
this precious stone is named after me with a little modification. it's MOLYbdan!
participants go up the treadmill connected to a machine and ultimately a computer somewhere. it is a cool cartoon simulation of you running on a long and mudane path filled with big and small puddles (should suggest to the techy ppl behind this to add a bonus poo somewhere along the path) and the objective is to.. yea you're right! jump over the puddles duh! haha.
stainless cooking booth where kids get to cook for a live audience. the guy tending this booth looks like harry potter! so do not contact me unless you are the director for the next harry potter movie instalment.
you can eat this. i'm not joking! it's called PlayMais which is basically coloured corn puffs you can play with. omg. how unhygienic.
look at the length of those sausages. if i'm not wrong they are longer than your intestines.
a very cool futuristic model by mercedes benz.
challenge this programmed goalkeeper! no balls could get past him. this is the mini version. the life-size version was just next to this but not shown in photo here.
this boy is a natural model. he kept trying different poses. i just can't let his efforts go to waste!
our tour guide and me!
the banner says: dear ideas, welcome back home! haha. ok cheesy.heh.
in a studio watching a live talkshow!
proving the theory that the pendulum loses energy as it swings so it will not go back to its original height and whack the boy's head off. argh. if only we could defy the laws of physics.
'my hair.. MY HAIR!!' shrieks the pretty blond lady.
the muscle arm invented by a japanese professor. now that's a cool invention for the elderly. soon you will see elderly carrying big bags of rice home by themselves. hee. the german host kept on saying 'arigato' to the japanese prof and his students. HAHA.
the cool bionic merc again. it does not have a windscreen wiper as the windshield is made of a special type of material which magically dispels away water. it does not have side mirrors too as it adversely affects the whole streamline shape of the car. Instead, it has small inbuilt cameras. ok, i feel as if i am writing a thesis here but this is cool stuff so yea :)
Lightning man to the rescue!
we thought the brown balls round her necklace looked like dog poo. hee.
'help me.. i'm going to faint..!'
very cute boy on the tram. i am NOT a paedophile.
