Schneckenhof

The Uni of Mannheim students have a famous party series held in the Schneckenhof (snail court yard or something!). In winter the party moved to the dungeons under the castle. It was one of the first times I have had (because I had been away for all the weekends so far) to meet my classmates. Furthermore up until this evening I really hadn't had many opportunities to speak German as the common denominator is English for everything to do with the business school. Beers were only a E1.50 so it was an agreeable night indeed. It didn't take long to figure out who the party players are and who wasn't so much. After a huge show at the Schneckenhof we sampled some further Mannheim nightlife afterwards in the city. The rumour mill has not been churning as much as in the first weeks of St Mark's but there was activity!
