That's right, forget about the uni work, because deUTSch is going to keep you busy for the next couple of months with a multitude of cultural experiences!
German Film Festival
This month we're exploring German culture in the form of films at the German Film Festival. Details of "Reclaim Your Brain", the film we're seeing tomorrow night are in a previous blog.
Meanwhile we're going to see another film called "And Along Came Tourists" next Thursday night. A blurb about this contemporary drama can be read here, and you can book tickets here. The film starts at 6:45pm, and Stammtisch will follow at the Imperial Hotel at 8:45pm.

How Long 'Til Smoko?
Brett Nichols examines all things ‘Aussie’ and more in this comedy cabaret. From taxis to morning tea breaks, from Vegemite to porn. A witty mix of the clever and the lewd - Brett appeals to the yuppie and yobbo in all of us.
This is a must see for all Germans wanting to learn more about quintessential Australian culture!

Stammtisch at Bells Hotel
On Thursday 15th May, we'll be breaking free of the Clare and adventuring out to Woolloomooloo to take in the atmosphere of Bells Hotel. Before Stammtisch, we'll be having dinner at the famous Harry's Cafe de Wheels (I recommend the Tiger Pie).
Here's a review of the Bells from the Sydney Morning Herald:
It's as if the Bells was picked up by a cyclone, Wizard Of Oz style, from a quiet town and dropped here. It seems the only explanation for a family-run, honest, flagstone-floored pub with cheap drinks and no pretensions next to the CBD.
It's preferred by navy boys from the nearby base, too, which is good news for a girl who loves a uniform. While other local bars desperately woo the area's upwardly mobile newcomers, the Bells keeps its regulars loyal with warm service.
Gotta love those Navy boys!
Details:
Date: Thursday 15th May
Time: 7:00pm meet at Town Hall (optional)
7:30pm dinner at Harry's Cafe de Wheels
