Bye Germany!

Last day in Germany today. Everyone slept in today (Adrian especially being tired from New York), but after we were all up Adrian and I went into the city for a last minute souvenir shopping spree.

I then had some gourmet cake with Adrian and his mom at a fancy cake restaurant. It was very good.

Afterwords we met with a few other friends and went to play on a playground for little kids for a while. It was really fun and stupid. There were these little Russian kids there that were chasing us around. There was also a zipline and a weird see-saw that I can't explain on here...but it was fun to use that too.

We used that to kill some time until we went to another restaurant called Salsaleto's (I think that's how it's spelled..) for a "Good Bye Dinner" with everyone. It was really confusing because the reserved table in the restaurant did't have enough seats for everyone...so then we went outside to eat but we were then told that we couldn't order outside for whatever reason, so then some of us went back inside and some others did whatever. It was confusing but I was able to get chicken fingers and they were good.

Everyone then took a lot of pictures with everyone and talked for a while. I wasn't able to get any pictures with my camera so I'll have to get all the ones with me from Facebook when they get uploaded.

After everyone said their goodbyes Adrian and I went back home so I could pack. Everything fit well so I'm all set to go.

This will be my last entry here since tomorrow is just going to be me going to the train station and the airport etc.

Bye Germany! It was a fun time :D See you all soon!!

Another city like Weimar.

So Thursday we took a group trip to another city. I can't remember the name of it...but it was a Medieval town that's nice looking like Weimar, but it's also boring like Weimar. Nothing to do. So we walked around and looked at stuff, ate some pizza at an Italian restaurant and then had a tour.

When we got back to Gottigen a few of us stayed in the city for about an hour and a half to wait until we would meet the rest of the people from the exchange at a restaurant called Vapiano. It's another Italien restaurant where you have a card and use that to buy your food and then pay at the end. I got another pizza. We stayed there for a while (Adrian came too by the way since he came back from New York) and then went back to the house since Adrian was tired from the jet lag.

Rain rain go away...

Today was wet :[

We were supposed to have a hike and picnic today with all the American's as a group. Too bad it rained the entire time. We ended up walking for about 20+ minutes in the rain going somewhere until it ended up raining so hard that we just turned around and went back to the city, during which the rain stopped.

Matt, Luke and I then went to Subway and some ice cream while Kevin and Jason (another American) used my bike to get back to Jonas' house so they could go swimming. I don't know how it worked out but my bike was back where it was supposed to be by the time I wanted to leave the city, so that's all I cared about.

I biked home by myself for the first time this entire trip (photographic memory for the win) and then slept a little bit because of how tiring that "hike" was.

USA vs France Womans soccer was on later so I watched USA crush France 3-1 to get into the finals (I believe) so that was a refreshing victory after their loss to Sweden.

After that I just felt like staying home and relaxing some more, so I did. Tomorrow Adrian comes back from NY.

Can't wait to come back Sunday morning :D

Bowling makes my fingers hurt :[

Tuesday I do remember more of.

We watched The 40 Year Old Virgin in the "morning" which was hilarious and went bowling later in the day.

Kevin, Jonas, a few other Americans and I went bowling and I did ok. Although I don't think there's a finger nail clipper in this house so I had kind of long nails while I was bowling...and that didn't exactly help very much. I got a score of 230.

Between 3 games.

The only strike I got was a 10 pin spare in the 3rd game. It was all for fun though so I don't care.

After that we went to McDonalds for dinner and then went back home and relaxed.

I felt like staying up a bit later so I did and around midnight I started hearing knocks on the windows and doors. Now my first instinct is to be utterly and completely scared to death. After a while of being too scared too move the door bell rang and Jonas and I went to the door to see who was there at 12:15 in the morning.

It was Kevin coming back from the city. I completely forgot he went back into the city again. I was so scared to even look out the window to see who it might possibly be. We had a good laugh at that.

I went to bed shortly after.

Monday....

For whatever reason Monday is a complete blur for me...we went to the outdoor pool like on Saturday again and had fun there with the slide they have. We were doing "trick slides" I guess you could say such as spinning and other stuff and the little kids were trying to do it too. It was so funny.

After that I think we just got bought some movies and watched one of them and then that was the night.

Lazy me.

Sorry, I was getting lazy and didn’t update this for the last few days. Sunday wasn’t too much. We went to a different pool (an indoor pool) that was nicer than the other one. Diving boards, multiple pools, a lazy river, waterslides (actual big tubing water slides) and more speedo’s. That was really fun. Then I think we just went around in the city some more for the night and then went home.

Germans wear Speedo's too much...

So today was interesting. First before I start I want to say I wrote everything here and then accidentally X'ed out of Google Chrome thus deleting everything I had written....I may or may not want to rewrite everything.

So basically to make this quick since I want to go to bed: Kevin, Jonas and Jonas' mom are going to Wolfsburg again to watch another soccer match that they had planned earlier not knowing I would be with them. I don't have a ticket so I had to do something else today. I went with a few of Adrian and Jonas' friends to the public pool.

The pool is huge. It's got multiple parts, a water slide, large diving boards, and a lot of pool toys etc. There was a 10+ foot high diving board that I jumped off of that was really fun. I've never done that before so it was exciting.

Unfortunately though.....German's seem to like Speedo's a little bit too much. There were a few too many for my eyes to handle...especially when a really fat old guy wears one.

Anyways, after the hanging at the pool for a while a few of us went to get something to eat called a Doner. It's a sandwich with lamb meat, lettuce, some sauces and onions (I didn't have onions on mine though) it was really good, but really messy too.

After that I just stayed at Jonas' house doing whatever while they are at the soccer game.

Ok, bed time now.
