#50 - Öcher Bend



On Monday evening I went with most of my class and another to meet at Bendplatz in Aachen. Here Öcher Bend was being held. Öcher Bend is a fairground that happens about twice a year in Aachen (Öcher means Aachener in Aachen dialect). It was a really good time even though I only went on two rides!

There were various food stalls too and I had this long meat on a stick that they called Piratespeiss which was nice, but unfortunatly when I went back later they had run out!

There was one ride (the one you can see in the second piture on the left hand side) which was great fun, but also really scary - not because it was intense, but because it was kinda of extremely dangerous! It spins around fast and tilts, and then also bounces, so you are thrown in the air. The only way to stay on the ride is to grip tightly to the railings...
