Hey there guys. Some of you might know me, but most of you probably do not. I am an old mapper from osu! (2008-2012) so older users may remember me. Anyway, throughout my time here osu! I got to meet and worked with some of the coolest people. Recently, I took a trip to Germany to visit some family and took this chance to meet some of my good friends on osu!, Natteke, happy30, and Dangaard. I've known and worked on maps with Natteke and happy30 for many years now, and I've known Dangaard for a long time as well, though I've never mapped with him. So when I told them I was coming to Germany, we all decided to meet up for a weekend. We spent the weekend at Japan Day and Phantasialand. I took some pictures and thought I would share them with you all! I'm not a professional photographer or anything but hopefully you can enjoy them.
Day 1:
I arrived in Germany at 7:00 AM. After dropping off my bags at my uncles, I went over to the Airbnb that we were all staying at. Here are a few pictures of the apartment we stayed at.
From there we headed to Japan Day, a Japanese cultural festival that took place in Dusseldorf, Germany. I don't have any pictures of the event at the main area in Dusseldorf (it was way too crowded) but we went to the Japanese temple. Here a few photos from there including a group photo.

Another group photo, Dangaard, yyy, Natteke, happy30
At the end of the night we went to go watch the fireworks, they were awesome.
Day 2:
We woke up pretty early to head to Phantasialand, an amusement park in Brühl. We had an interesting time getting there...
We waiting in Cologne for 30 mins on the train because there was some guy standing on the tracks..
That ended up making us miss our connecting bus, so we had to walk the rest of the way (about 3 km/2 miles I believe) since Germany bus schedule on Sundays is awful and the next bus didn't come for a few hours...
But in the end we finally made it!
Natteke wasn't a fan of the water rides and his boy band hair
Here are some ride photos, Dangaard wasn't phased by any rides what so ever lol
I owned Natteke in this game ride
At the end of the day we ended up going out to eat at a really good burger place in Dusseldorf called What's Beef. I flew across the Atlantic for a god damn burger.
And that was about it. It was a short but sweet meeting. I've known these guys for about 6-8 years now, and I was so happy to finally meet them. We unfortunately didn't have anytime to do some kinda of mapping there, but that can always be done online
If you want to see the rest of the photos I'll link the album below as long as a bonus video.
