More adventures to come? Why of course! This is GERMANY.. You can never run out of things to do here, even if the weather is hot!
I was introduced to the right kind of cheese today, fresh, Italian, and delicious! Several kinds, and I must say American cheese is not good at all compared to this deliciousness. We watched another movie and I understood more German than the day before, but am still not speaking it so quickly.
We had Italian pasta for lunch!! With the best cheese (of course)... It was good and meaty. That was not even the best part of the day. I went to a Tollwood festival, which is basically a German fair that comes around twice a year. First we saw Poi, which is Anja´s favorite thing to do. It is basically a kind of gymnastics and there are these.. Pretty things with weights on them and you spin it around in many directions. We also saw a magic show person there too! I forget the German word that they call it.. It was interesting, although I could not at all understand what he was saying. He took up Anja for an example and it was fun watching the illusions.
We had Thai food, not too spicy, and I tried on so many hats! I love hats. I also bought some items, including an amazing purple dress (that I am thinking my mother will approve of) and these hat/headband things. It was very much fun. We stayed for hours and then watched the finale of the world cup on a large television with everyone else who was interested (which was almost everyone that was there).. I am remembering Spain won? Well, the point is, I had very much fun and Florian is teaching me how to "experiment" more with life and people and what I want to do with the rest OF my life.
I am becoming very attached to this family and although I am not talking so much I am having such a wonderful time. I am especially noticing however the need for responding to people talking to me, hehe. A smile does not always cut it, in fact, I am thinking they consider it rude not to respond. Maybe. This I did not check. But, responding to their English and such when they are explaining something to me is very important.
I am loving it here. I was tired much during the day (Ich bin müden) and woke up very much as soon as it was dark. So strange this was. Well I am getting very comfortable and relaxed here, as was predicted by Florian, who tells me that it takes 3 days for a soul to come attached back when traveling such a long distance. I could not quote the way he said it, but I love the way he talks.
Every day is certainly an adventure! I can say that for sure.
And my goodness, I know it would be very much harder if my family did not speak such good English that they are doing for me. I feel that my own English is slightly depleting though, as you might notice here.
I am learning more German every day though!! Es ist gud! prolly have the spelling wrong.. They tell me I am having good pronunciation though! It is a start.
