TGIF

So, today is Friday finally. We had a little welcome lunch after class. It was amusing to talk to people, especially the from the beginner class. They don't speak German well and also not English well. So, it ends up being one miscommunication after another and then finally the thought is conveyed, or not. Ha. The wonders of language. I met a woman from Japan who comes to here to be married to her husband who is working here. So, she will live in Germany and is just beginning to learn the language. Last night I went out with the group and practiced some German over dinner and drinks. We used the bus and train and I think I figured out one route to go from my house to the Alt Stadt. This is the shopping-eating-dancing district. This is important. Yesterday I took a long walk around my house, which is really a beautiful neighborhood. There is a large community garden and they are all perfect little plots of land with gates and many flowers. Yesterday was full of sun. Now it is dull gray and it is raining. I think I will adventure a bit this afternoon and find some shopping or maybe eat something. My fridge has only eggs (only boiled-I have no stovetop), salami, cheese, bread and I bought some prezels and crackers that taste worse than terrible. I cannot even describe the crackers, like cardboard with oats. Tomorrow I will do a bit of sightseeing with the group. Bis später!
