HELLO!!!
First, to any of my professors back home reading this, I'm sorry for the very informal writing! I hope spring term is going well!
Wow to much to share its been an awesome week and last weekend was pretty sweet. I went to Munich with the other Americans (or Team America as the Team Singapore students call us). There are about 6 Singapore students here studying and we run into them everywhere. Lunch, Dinner, Bars, and then MUNICH!. It was really funny, we all got on the same train on Friday morning at 830am and we had 3 connecting trains to get to Munich and the Singapore students were all with us at 830. Then after about 2 train stops they were gone! We all laughed, but felt really bad. So then we get there and get into our Hostel and decide to do an english pub crawl which is where you go with a group who does tours of Munich and takes you through about 6 different breweries and beer halls. Being from Bend I love beer and being a bartender I feel I know what good beer tastes like...we don't have any beer nearly as good as the beer in Munich. In 2016 it will be the anniversary of the 500 year rule (Reinheitsgebot ) that beer can have only 3 ingredients. Although the law was lifted in the 1980's many brewery's still stick to the law! Anyways, sure enough as we gather at the meeting point for the tour, there was Team Singapore! We had an awesome time after that! So we saw a ton of amazing beer halls and restaurants. The food was amazing too, I had a pork knuckle for dinner one night and it was one of the best things I have ever had. Next to mommies cooking. I still am working and uploading some really good quality photos from Wes and Anjali's camera that I took, so I will upload those as soon as I can. But in the mean time I got some good ones for you all to see!
My International Business classes started this week and so far they have been great. They have their similarities to American college courses and there differences. The one surprise was all the fee's I have had to pay when I got here. I thought my tuition would cover everything but it costs a lot to stay here for 3 months on top of room and board!
I have made a bunch of new friends, I pretty much have made friends with the entire school for the exception of 1 guy, which is actually a funny story. One guy who had a little to much to drink one night picked me out of the group to yell at. He yelled in German "That guy isn't American, I know what Americans look like and he isn't one" I laughed of course and he got kicked out of the fiesta. I guess he felt like an idiot the next day when one of my friends told him who he was talking too. Honestly, I took it as a compliment I guess it means I fit in!
I hope everyone is doing well! There are 3 birthdays over the next 3 days so I should have some more good stories and even better pictures! We found out this week were going to Berlin for 5 days so I'm getting really excited for that! Take care everyone!!
Tschüss! (Bye)
