Dampferball 2008

It was my second Damperball experience this year.



Dampferball- a dance party which is held on a Dampboat. Our family participate this dance party every year and for me it was second time.



I was so suprised last time to dance in such a classical small ship.



Where you see manual operation system in front of the dance hall.



But this year, I felt much more familiar. I have chosen blue dress which I bought in US.



So the party has started.



Music is continuously played by live band and you dance before appetizer, after appetizer, after main dish and after dessert... whichmeans almost all the time:)





Swiss food is tasty only in such a special occation..:)



What I was also looking forward is Ursula's dress.



and her dance with Godzilla. First of all, I wore simple nude colour dress last year which turned out to be super boring dress next to Ursula's flash pink dress!! (you see her dress in sidebar:) That's why I have chosen colour dress this year in order not to be so boring next to her bright dress.
This year, she had passionate red dress bought in Iran!!(where she arrange her dress is also very original!!)



and as you know, how they dance..



I really have to be careful when they are dancing close to me.. I don't want to be bumped by Godzilla..



Compared to the other couples in photo, you can see how unique they dance. Consuming full energy!!

Since Godzilla and Ursula are so crazy, I also have to do some action!!



Titanic in snoowwwwwwww!! My god, that was fxxking cold!!

But I felt like acting crazy, after seeing agressive Godzlla's dance:)

and I could also dance much better than last year. It was indeed lots of fun!! I'm still bad in ball dance but this one, Odie should take me to dance lesson. He promised.

Being spinned by Odie with Rock'Roll music was ok. When I met him first time in club, I thought "what kind of stupid European dance is this??" since Odie spinned me too much. That time in TOkyo, I only know sexy disco dance with R&B or Hiphop:) But now I got use to this European way and I can even enjoy!



The only thing I can improve better until next year is again German.. Odie enjoy talking about politics with Cigar which I still cannot understand well. Like learning dancing, I hope I can learn more in discussion by next year.

Dampferball

Dampferball,, I knew it as "Dance party on a boat". It takes place once in a year in November and the family of my husband always participate it. This year was my first Dampferball experience.



Dance with the music of live band and enjoy dining.



Very European!!



It was 3 course menu.



My mother-in-law is "the best dresser" on the day:)



Godzilla is also in good mood, even though he just came back from Shanghai on the day before.



We danced a lot!!

But what very special about this party is this boat.



It's a 106 years old steam engine boat.





It's old but beautiful.



Speed measure.



It's so funny that people are dancing and enjoying while the engine is running in full power just underneath. It's scrolling very fast but totally elegant atmosphere is on it's above. This miss match of the tempo is funny.



Since I moved to Zurich, I have learned that people here really know how to enjoy life. Anything could be a possibility of party and fun time and so does this boat. On the night of cold November, I have experienced another interesting European party. Please also see my Video:
