Hey everybody!
So the end of our trip was pretty good, I think I left off when we went to Zurich, that was okay. We just sight saw and ate sushi :) how wonderful. We met some nice Swiss women that we shared a table with at dinner one night and conversed with them for a while about Switzerland and things to do. After Zurich we went to Lindau, Germany for a couple of days. We didn't actually spend much time there as Liechenstein was the place to be :) We hung out in that small and awesome principality one day, there happened to be a pretty cool festival going on. All the museums were free and we got some food from streetvendor that was probably the best Wurst we have had yet.
Well now I'm back in Schwäbisch Hall for another month.
So far this month is going pretty well! I like my new teacher most of the time, he's totally different from my last one, but I have still learned quite a bit from him. I think it's because he looks exactly like Einstein, so he just exudes knowledge. It's pretty crazy, I'll try to remember to take a picture with him so you guys can see how weird this is. anyway, I really like my new roommate. Her name is Amber and she is from Ohio, which I was actually really disappointed about at first, but so far we are getting along really well, so I'm happy. It's so weird though, there are only about half of the amount of people here this month, so there is way less of a cultural variety and of things to do. I'm getting sick of hanging out with Americans in Germany, but I'll have some Austrians pretty soon. And of course we still have Pelle, our trusty Sweede, who might as well be American, I mean he speaks perfect English, sounds like an American and knows everything about American culture, well at least about American culture on the Simpsons. It's pretty hilarious when he asks questions about the states, he's asks like, 'so I saw this on the Simpsons, is it true?' or like 'Oh... like this one time they did that on the Simpsons!' He's a funny guy.
Today I also had my first meeting with my Tandempartner, which is when they pair you up with a native Schwäbisch Hallian who wants to learn your native language, aka english and you meet and speak in both German and English, helping each other to practice speaking. It was really fun! Her name is Jana, she's 17. today we just went for ice cream and chatted a little bit, but next week when we have more time I think we are going to go to the movies and dinner or something.
I miss you guys! Hope you are all doing well. Send me an email and let me know what's up!
love you all,
Ann
