We're the news

So, this weekend was the big happening with shooting the first interviews for our little film and spreading our ideas with the rest of the world (which in this case, is Freiburg). While half of the experiment group went to the biggest party in town, I was invited to a small birthday party. But if you think that nothing was happening there: wrong. Just after I arrived I was invited by the host to dig into the delicious buffet... And this was when I realized that yes, it is damn hard not to eat fresh sushi, tasty empanadas and drink a melon - strawberry punch. Of course I didn't want to be rude so I explained why I was so picky about the food. And that's when it started: a snowball-like interviewing machinery began that would not stop the whole night. "Why do you do that again?" "Do you really think that makes a difference?" "Well, if you already shower cold, can't you then also just go into the river?" However, one positive thing this evening encouraged me to continue doing what we're doing, even if it excludes consuming delicious food for one month. A friend of mine just heard a little bit of what I explained and she directly jumped in - she's going to do the experiment with us, even if only for a week to try first. We DO inspire people, yes! Let's see how many friends will stay at the end after numerous denials of dinner or ice cream invitations...
