Authentic Bites, Boundless Yums
Music, they say, transcends barriers, weaves stories, and etches memories. The 29th of September unfurled an adventure beyond just attending an AR Rahman concert – it was a carnival of laughter, melodies, and unabashed joy 😄
The curtain rose in Herning, where T, my ever-enthusiastic sister, and I embarked on a musical escapade. Kolding awaited, a pit stop where A, my partner-in-crime, jumped aboard, infusing the journey with boundless enthusiasm and an extra dollop of mischief 🤣😘
Another month, another gig – this time, it’s Anirudh rocking it live in Oberhausen, Germany! My buddy A, the same legend I explored Istanbul with, hit me up with this epic invite along with a bunch of pals for the concert bash. Now, hold onto your hat: ticket sale last November, and I sprinted to say ‘Yes!’
Legendary A was like The Flash snagging those 5 golden tickets before they vanished into thin air. Wanna hear something mind-blowing? The concert was sols out in a lightning-fast 7 minutes, and we’re talking a massive 14k tickets here! Talk about a showstopper moment! 🤩😱
The most awaited event (according to me) finally came, High On U1 concert, arranged by Nima.
Let’s paint the scene: Rudolf-Weber Arena in Oberhausen – THE gathering spot for around 7k Tamil music aficionados from across Europe! And guess what? We landed the “luck” jackpot – diamond seats, baby! 😍 Cue the prioritet pass, sauntering into the arena before the crowd frenzy kicked in. That meant one thing: prime time to grab drinks, nosh on some delicious treats, and catch up with pals pre-concert. Talk about starting the night on the ultimate high note!
Now, here’s the kicker: Rudolf-Weber Arena’s got this under wraps! Countless spots indoors, sprinkled around the arena, where you can snag food, sip on refreshing beverages, and, the lifesaver – the restrooms! This place is a concert-goer’s dream come true, the ultimate hub of convenience and good vibes!
But the concert itself was A DREAM COMING TRUE! 🤩
Sometyhing I should’ve posted loooong time ago, and I agree – too bad of me 😉😌
People who know me, also know that I am a die-hard fan of the Tamil/Indian artist Yuvan Shankar Raja. Ever since his first concert in 2011, I hoped for a European Tour, and I’ve kept asking Yuvan through Insta several times whether he had such an idea. Lately, in 2022 I wrote that I really hope he’ll come to Europe in this year, for which he simplye replied “yes, I will”. So I was pretty much sure that was going to happen, and finally Nimas announced this, and I was among the first ones to grab the tickets for both Yuvan’s concert in Oberhausen and for a Meet&Greet event. And I was SO excited. This was a dream coming true moment for me, and I was on cloud nine. My brother decided to join me, and this could only be much better, as we both are fans of Yuvan 😍🥰
McArthur Glenn has several Designer Outlets around in Europe, 2 of them in Germany – one in Neumünster and another one in Berlin. I have once been to the Neumünster Designer Outlet in 2016, and went to the one in Berlin in 2017. Few weeks back I went to Neumünster again to shop. In the McArthur Glenn Designer Outlets you find brands like Adidas, Nike, Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Golfino and home brands like Le Creuset and Zwilling and much more, and can save up to 70% – so it’s definitely worth a visit.
As noted in one of the previous posts, my bestie and I visited the TV Tower in Berlin for a dinner.
This was one of the best experiences during our stay in Berlin, and something I’ll definitely recommend you to do, if you plan going to Berlin 😉
The TV Tower itself is 368 m. You can either get tickets to the observation desk, or book a fast track ticket to the desk too. If you need some more, you can book a table on the 360 degree restaurant, that also gives you a fast track entry including a 2 course dinner during a 1,5 hour visit, where you can sit at a window and enjoy a 360 degree view of Berlin.
If you ask me, I’d say that the food is only average, but the experience itself is so good, that you’ll actually enjoy the food too 😛 Definitely a visit worth! 😉
