welcome to germany

Well.. lots to say. So I'll start from the beginning.

by the way, the keyboards here are very strange so bear with me if there are Y's and Z#s mixed up.

My room is a suite with 3 other rooms, but only one other person is there. his name is Lucas and he speaks little english. We all live in the same apartment complex called Weststadt which is nice. Yes the beer is cheaper than water. We can get a case of beer which is 10 liters for about 11 euros. Ill let you do the conversion on that. They dont sell beer in cans, only bottles.

Weststadt
Looks like a prison huh.

So i met a girl and her name is Christina and she comes from Mexico. We get along very well and we are helping eachother speak better german.  That sounds like me. I would travel 6000 miles to germany and then start dating a girl from mexico. So that is comforting in a land of strange things.

Sorry i still dont have internet or a computer, so these  posts are coming from a public computer center on campus. Braunschweig is bigger than Providence, and much much much cooler. All the shops are open till 5, you can pretty much drink a beer whereever you want. On the street cars, in the mall at 3 in the afternoon, wherever! Im sure the dream team would like that haha! Sometimes you just want something specific like chocolate milk, you just cant find it here. I have yet to find a decent chocolate milk yet. The Pizza here sucks. they have Dönners here. a Donner is like a steak sandwich, but in a pocket, but not really....

me + christina
Shaky style. sorry

This weekend is Öktoberfest in Münich and I am really excited. I hope everything goes well. We will be riding the trains for about 8 hours, but it only costs about 7 bucks per person! pretty cool. Ok i should go now. I have class in 2 minutes.

next post. Oktoberfest
