Stocherkahnrennen

Fumi, Angie, Ting, Ying and Reenee inside the crowd Today we went to one of the biggest events in Tuebingen today, with around 5000 people (1/8 residents in Tuebingen) gathering around the Neckar to watch the yearly punting race. The buses going to the river were extremely full. We had to go to the Neckar 2 hours before the match to reserve a good place for viewing. Luckily me and Fumi met Ying and friends, who were very early there. The crowd and the yearly punting competition The tradition is that: the winners have to give a party afterwards, and the losers have to drink a full glass of Lebertrank, while the people shout "Wir trinken Bier, was trinkt ihr?" The regional TV broadcaster has also come to report this big event! The winners and the losers
