Saarbücken Cricket Match

Yesterday, we went to Saarbrücken (some 75 Km west to Kaiserslautern) to play a Cricket match. We were 10 Guys. At the Kaiserslautern Train station we found that actually those guys who had the bats with them have forgotten to bring them. As our guys plays better with there own bats this was very important for them. That was kind of panic as we did not know what to do? Either go back for bringing our own bats and get late from the decided match time or stay in the Train and play with the host Team bats. We were sitting in the Train and it had to leave in 2 minutes. Any ways, we did not like the idea to get late.

When we reached to the ground we found out that the host team plays with a funny kind of Ball. They also insisted that they will only play with those balls. Our Captain and players were very flexible as they knew that our team plays better so any kind of ball wont matter for us. But, later we found that they were very wrong because that ball was really kind of "magical pin pong" in its properties. It had very uneven bounces but was very stiff in the made. It was heavy but smaller in the size. Funny hun?

Now, I would not recommend that you ask me the results of the matches we played with them. But I will tell you that after that we went to the swimming pool and enjoyed it a lot.

Again, nature was not kind enough and it came a very heavy rain. It was so fast that we had to hide in the dressing rooms of the Swimming pool.

And yeah, I found that Ramadan is also a person name. So if some tells you that "Ramadan is coming" then just ask em which one :) By the way here he is a friend of Yasir.

We did play one match with the normal tennis ball covered with tape and won comfortably, but we lost two matches that we played with their ball. That ball was told as being used in North India for normal cricket games but none of the Pakistanis there acknowledged having seen this ball in Pakistan.

Japanies Garden Kaiserslautern

Last weekend we visited Japanese Garden. Earlier, I thought it might be a big Park but I found that actually it is smaller then my imaginations. Frankly speaking, I was not impressed by any thing I saw there. Yeah, but my family enjoyed it. What you will see there? "Koi" or "Koy". yes it a kind of fish (I was told that they are very expensive fish. It can be some kind of 20 to 30 thousand Euros per fish when they are really big). Nah! I was not fascinated by it also because I don't have any plan to buy them any ways lol. Other then fish what you can see there are ..... Bamboos!. Yeah, they are really growing Bamboos. You can look at them and you will find that they are green lol (are you going to pay 3.50 € for watching Bamboos? lol) For me there was nothing special because I already saw all kind of those trees and bushes a lot of time in my life. I was angry on them because I took my football with me and I could not find any place to play. It was too small lo...
