At long last I got to upload some of the pictures myself. Sorry for the delay.
For my honor I must point out that the "evil Malte" picture above was staged and in the picture "after the battle" I told everyone to "look defeated", but I think nobody heard that part
So here come some of my pictures.

^ This picture was taken at Iris' place shortly after Gus and I had arrived there to pick up Iris and Tim.

The next morning we went to Bochum's "Weihnachtsmarkt" (Christmas market) where there is that carousel with a Littlefoot figure (it is supposed to be Littlefoot) which you can see in the background.

That evening we picked up Jason at the airport in Dortmund and later ate in an Italian restaurant not far from my Mum's place.

Here's cake eating the next day...

...and the cleaning up afterwards (or after some breakfast).

Here we have Jason, the perfect snowangel...

...and the proof that I am not the only one who can look creepy

The winged rhino is sort of a semi-official symbol for Dortmund. Originally it was the emblem of a concert hall in Dortmund but it became very popular and now there are statues of winged rhinos in all kinds of coloring all over the town. Here's us in front of a rhino with the map of the world.

And here is us standing in front of the building which used to be the cinema where I saw land before time for the first time in a time long ago. The cinema does no longer exist.

Dortmund's Weihnachtsmarkt prides itself to have "the worlds largest Christmas Tree" part of which you can see here in the background. But we are cheaters. It is the worlds largest pile of Christmas trees pretending to be a single one. It looks nice anyway.
