OK now.... DON`t panic... Breath... inhale - exhale - inhale - ex.... OH f...
23kg!!! Thats ALL I am allowed to take. One bag with 23kg for 4 months. Now, how is that supposed to work? Don`t the airlines have any sympathy with women? Now look, dear airlines. My toilet bag already weighs about 5kg, thats more than 20 % of the weight I am allowed to take! I mean, women need a lot more stuff in order to challenge their daily routines.
For example, lets start with the creams... We need a basis cream, a serum, eyecream, day cream and night cream, neck cream and an extra crinkle cream (just in case)... Not to forget the body lotion (for day and for night) AND the matching eau de toilette for at least the daytime bodylotion. THEN we need cleaning lotion for the face and the eyes (yes, two different ones), peeling, moisture masks (yes, again the plural/ a mask for the eyes, the neck, and the face), revitilizing masks. I am leaving my hand mask at home but I have to take my hand cream...
Enough creams...lets continue with the make-up. These things do not weigh much, but added up, it is quite a bit... primer, powder, blush, eyeshadow (at least 15 colors), mascara, kohl pencil, lipgloss, lipsticks (YES, there is a difference and YES, again plural), lipliner (matching the lipsticks), some glitter for special effects. Not to forget all the brushes you need to use all these things...
Now, I could start with stuff like toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, showergel and showerpeeling. But I am leaving all those things at home and buying it when I get there.
However, it is a similar situation with shoes... We need shoes for pants, shorts, dresses in all different colors. High boots, flat boots, high heels, sandels, running sneakers, gym sneakers. I have to take at least 8 pair of shoes... Thats another 4 kg at least...
Now ladies, did I forget anything???
Dear airlines, don`t you see that women are at a disadvantage? You should either grant women more weight, one extra luggage or at least make the weight dependent on the length of the trip.
geez, I have to go figure this out...

The Beginning
So here we go... Blog entry No 1
I am new with blogging so have mercy... hmm, OK. This isn`t working out as good as I thought it would because I have now been sitting in front of the computer for 10 min and havent really written anything other than *so here we go*...
Maybe I should introduce myself first. My name is Bianca (good start, huh) and I am now... not willing to tell my age. Ah, no. Just kidding. I am 30 years young. After 4 years of American elemetary school and aditional 9 years in German highschool (yep, you added it up correctly - 13 years of school) I graduated and started a dancing career. THEN would have been a great time to go to the US for a few months but I decided to stay.
Obviously (and maybe thank god) I dont want to end up in my fifties as a dancer not knowing what to do... so I decided to go to university. I started studying Sports and English liturature. It wasnt always easy but after 5 years and two degrees (state examination and Masters degree) I left university. And again THEN would have been a great time to go to the US for a few months, but I decided to just add the two years of practical schooling in order to be a teacher for higher education in Germany...
I have just finished these two years at school... and yes, thats right: NOW is exactly the last chance to go to the US for a few months. And that is exactly what I am going to do :-)
Flight is booked, room and car arranged (thank you Alex :-) and I am nervous as hell... and very very happy, and very very sad. I will miss quite a lot of people a whole lot. One in particular. And of course I will miss my dog Magic and my cat Ami, and all of my friends... I am also looking forward to a hell of a good time:-) I hope to meet many, many interesting people and maybe even find a new friend or two. I want to live in a country where the sun always shines (California, dont disappoint me!), I want to dance and dance and dance, (try to) work as an extra and hopefully bring my English to perfection. After living in Germany for over 20 years its about time for some authentic American slang :-)
Its strange that something you have been wanting to do so badly and what you have been waiting for, for as long as you can remember, acually also brings so many tears and sad feelings. Now why cant something just be totally great or totally horrible? It would be easier to sort things out if it was like that...
Anyhow, I will be keeping friends and family up to date via this blog, happy to hear from anyone else whose dream I may just be living... I will upload a whole bunch of pics (right after I have figured out how) and I do hope you all enjoy :-)
Take care
Bianca
