Hello,
who are you?
 My
name is Vanessa Pilz, I'm 27 years old and I am town twinning officer
in Bottrop.
What's your favourite drink?
My
favourite drink when I'm out is Caipirinha. But I have to drive
home by myself almost all the time so that I'm not allowed to drink
alcoholic drinks and so usually just have a Diet Coke.
What's your favourite food?
My
favourite food is pasta.
Who
are your favourite pop stars in Germany?
My
favourite pop stars are Robbie Williams and a German singer called
Herbert Groenemeyer.
What's
your favourite item of clothing/outfit?
My
favourite outfit is definitely jeans.
Is
your local football team any good?
We
don't have a football team in Bottrop which plays in an important
league like Blackpool. Besides I am not really interested in football.
What
do you do on a Friday night?
On
a Friday night I usually go out with friends. We go to the cinema,
to a bar or to a nightclub. Not far away, in Oberhausen (approx
ten minutes by car), there is a large shopping centre with lots
of bars, cafes and a cinema. In Bottrop there are only little facilities
to go out and have fun.
What
about during the day on a Saturday?
On
a Saturday I get up early, too. I usually go shopping in a larger
city nearby. In the evening I sometimes go out or stay at home with
friends (I go out either on a Friday or on a Saturday).
Are
you saving up for anything at the moment?
I
save my money for holidays.
Where
have you been for your holidays this year?
I
have been in Greece/Chalkidiki and in the US this year (I have done
a circular tour along the west coast, ie San Francisco, LA, Las
Vegas and national parks like Grand Canyon and Yosemite, that was
great!).
What
do you usually do at Christmas?
I
always spend Christmas with my family. Our Christmas celebration
is not really typical for German families. Usually you have dinner
with a roast goose and then get your presents. We have a late lunch
with fish and then in the early evening when it is getting dark,
we get our presents. By the way, we celebrate Christmas on December
24. On December 25 we visit other family members and have lunch
together. On December 26 I visit friends.
How
do you celebrate New Year?
On
New Year I meet with friends. We usually cook something together
and then play games or just talk until midnight. Then we let off
fireworks.
Vielen
Dank Vanessa. Hoffentlich besuchen Sie bald Lancashire!
(Thank you Vanessa. Come and visit Lancashire soon!)
