Now, my turn

My trip started on Tuesday evening when I took night bus to Gdansk. I got there at 4.20pm when the station wasn't already opened

I had to wait a bit and spent some time there. Then I moved to the airport and took a flight to Lubeck. I was quite afraid if I'll find a way to get to Hamburg but 10 min after landing I was already in the right bus

In Hamburg Ruta was already waiting for me. We were to go to McKinley, our host from CouchSurfing which took some time cause the whole thing with tickets in Hamburg is quite complicated
Anyway, on the next day we spent some time doing our banner. Later we went to meet Adrian at his hotel and went together to Saturn, the place where the signing session was to be. I checked if there are still photobooks and as it was too early to wait there we decided to come back there later.
When we came back the line was endless. We came up to some friends of Adrian and people from the forum [I'll write all the names at the end

]. We chatted for a few minutes and than, the Scorpions came

When we finally got to them I was just speechless, I was waiting for this moment for 9 years

:D:D pawel was the first one and as he speaks Polish it was the easiest to talk to him. I asked him about Stirwater and he said they will play in Cracov again in December, the same place. Rudolf heard we are talking and asked him if I'm from Russia

Nope, just Poland. Honestly I have a huge black hole in my mind and I don't remember if I talked to any of them or not. I only remember that Klaus said next year they will come to Lithuania and Poland. These are the most important things for me

After it me and Ruta took a photo with Klaus and went outside. There was a huge Scorp-like car so we took some photos there as well and tried to decide what to do now. Suddenly Pawel came so we caught him and took some photos with him AGAIN It's quite nice he didn't mind it cause, really, he had the right to be tired. But he patienly posed with everybody and said it's no big deal and smiled a lot

Later we separated and met again in the evening to celebrate Adrian birthday. After middnight we sang him "Happy birthday: comparing lyrics from different countries

As somebody mentioned before as a special guest played one Japanease girl of which there's one photo. We liked the singing but she must definitely work on playing piano

:D We spent there some time talking and laughing and we broke up to meet next day. A BIG DAY

About midday me and Ruta moved to the hotel where most of people were and prepared a bit for the evening. Than we went all together to the arena. We met there some fans [from France? do I remember well?] but again, it was too early so we tried to find any place to eat something. Finally we find one place. The woman there didn't understand anything in English but as she was really resolute everyone ordered something. I took a great quality cocoa which was taken from the bottle and simply heated. Never mind, at least it was warm

We came back to the arena and took our places. I don't know how long we were standing but in case somebody got hungry we could buy some delicious pretzels, 3 or 4 euros per one

:D Nothing special happened at this time except it was SO COLD and we had to wait almost an hour longer than the tickets said. But who cares, it was all in good cause

Than the gates got opened and run, Rorrest, run! Finally, all those hours spent at the gym had some sense cause we were in the first row, exactly in the middle of everything.
First, we saw Edguy. I was surprised how good they were! Really. But let's turn to the most important part

The Scorpions show. The setlist was no surprise but it was all so fine for me cause I could finally hear live Dynamite and Six String Sting. The last dream is Hey you, so I still have some hope..

It was unforgettable to be so close and to see all this so well and Klaus was smiling at us. He also had a short speech which was in German so I really didn't understand almost anything except the moment when he looked at us and said something about Lithuania and Poland

So were happy like just kinds at this moment. I also got the plecs from Rudolf [which I cost a bruise on my ribs] and Pawel. I put them in my pocket and praid not to lose it somewhere

After the show we wanted to get to the Scorpions hotel which wasn't that easy causei it took 2 hours

But yes, finally! We got inside. We passed Pawel cause he was going somewhere and he smiled again and greeted us. So, we were looking around and as we were suggested to take some drinks, we orderes something [now, I must say that Germans are really generous lol I oreders vodka and cola and got a glass over half full of vodka :O really, it would be a suicide to drink it]. There we met some people [i say again, I will mention everybody in the end

] but our aim was to get to the band. In fact, we took some photos when they were leaving. Klaus and Rudolf gave us some time so almost all of us took photos of them though a bodyguard or whoever he was strictly sait that we shouldn't talk, but only take photos, quickly ;| bleee. Then Matthias came, he seemed to be more tired and in a hurry so we didn't want to disturb him too much. And James......yeeeeaah, James lol lol lol It was a difficult and exhausting evening most for him

He didn't mind taking photos so we used it and maybe some photos aren't really good but are just great keepsakes

Then we went to the hotel, it was about 5am. One hour later we went to our beds but due to Gianluca's inexhaustible energy it took some time to fall asleep. When we woke up on the next...ok, let's say, later
Now, I want to thank all of you for these days full of Scorpions. I had the time of my life and even during my lectures I'm smiling like and idiot when I'm thinking about it all [Gianluca, yes, and idiot means when somebody is not nice

]
So:
Ruta: aaaaaah, I think I don't need to say too much, like at the station on Saturday when we hugged maybe 10 times

it was a great pleasure to spend this time together, I sensed you were a kindred spirit just when you said you love broccoli

Adrian: ok, I know, here no broccoli, but still I had a great time talking to you and I'm waiting for you in Poland this April
Gianluca: you could not talk so much at 6am

but it was great to meet you and thank you for your presents for us

Dasha, Mirko, Marco, Irene, Salvatore, Zaira, Georgia, Francesco, Rafael, Sarah, Niko, Antonio and Oscar, Toshiko, Sachiko, David, Lars
Once again, a great thank you to you, guys!
