This is my school.
Ok, so today was day number two of school. I rode the bus both to and from school today, and it went fine, which is good, the bus schedules are pretty confusing here. But yeah I got to school 25 minutes early, so I did get to just sit around which was nice, ha. We did actually do some learning today, but it was basically just review of stuff that we already knew. We're starting pretty slow, but that is ok with me. For lunch today we had Wiener Schnitzel and Pommes Frites (french fries) it was really really good, especially because we we're all starving to death. Then we went back to school and did some more repetitive stuff.
Some thoughts about Germany.
Basically everything is smaller. In my house at least. The over is smaller, the fridge is smaller, there is no freezer. Everything is smaller.
The light switches are cool though, they are like big things (picture to come) that you push down to turn the light on and you push up to turn off. Also I thought it was weird that all of the doors are always shut, I guess it is for heating or something? On the windows they all have like hurricane shutters(?) they are curtains that are out side of the window but you open and close them from the inside, and at first they are very very confusing. The windows though are super cool. They not only open in but you can also make it so that they top like falls in but the bottom stays closed, kind of like a vent (picture to come).
I've also decided that in general Germany smells bad. The entire school, except for the bathroom, smells like a bathroom, and then when we got out of school today it smelled weird, can't really describe it. Then when I got off of the bus it smells like manure. So yeah. Last night I ordered a new phone, and some plug converters, and they should be here Thursday or Friday, I guess shipping is really fast in Germany.
but yeah, that's all that I've got for today. Pictures, possibly sometime today? We'll see.

I'm sure there is a freezer somewhere in the house. It's probably in the basement. And I also have to defend my country. It doesn't smell bad everywhere. I'm sure that you will find a place where it smells good. By the way, it's weird for a German that the doors in America are always open. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSome of the things you say are really true but I think everyone in germany has a freezer or everyone I know. I have never thought abour some of those things when I was in the US but I always said everything is bigger in the States. I don't think it smells bad everywhere I'm sure you will go somewhere where it smells good. ;-) :-)
