As they moved the Love Parade to Essen this year and me and my friends had never been to any, we decided to take the short trip there yesterday.

Essen was stuffed with people from all around Germany (and some other countries, too), all wanting to party in this relatively small town. The Parade itself was pretty cool - with good DJs and music on the trucks and lots of people dancing (and also drinking and … ). At around dusk all the trucks and party people met at a place between Essen University and Berliner Platz for some more partying, only that this time there were some not so famous (and at least for us not so good) DJs, so we decided to leave earlier. Tired and with aching feet we walked all the way back to the trainstation just to see that they wouldn’t let anyone in for maybe an hour or longer. Luckily, I had been to Essen quite often in the past weeks to visit my friend Fei Ai (who’s now in Beijing - huhu Ai ), so I could lead my friends around the station to the other side that hadn’t been closed and we even got the first train back to Cologne.

I also uploaded two clips of the crowd (and me) dancing in front of one of the trucks. Don’t laugh, you can’t imagine how hard it is to dance and hold the camera still at the same time
