5 hour scavenger hunts are exhausting.

So Tuesday was interesting. Tuesday we got up and went to the school where everyone else goes to school at around 10:30 so we could do a scavenger hunt around the city. We were supposed to meet back at the school at around 3 or so at the latest. The scavenger hunt took the entire time...

It was all in German so forget about how difficult it was to find some of the things we had to find, first we had to translate it all to English. Some of the things we had to do were to buy a postcard with the symbol of Gottigen on it. We had to figure out how many benches were around one of the churches there. We had to find out how many CD's of the Woman's Soccer World Cup there were in an electronics store called Saturn.

One of the reasons why it took so long is because of what I said earlier. We had to translate it to English. That didn't exactly go as planned. One of the things we had to do said something about a "Richtung Bahnhof". Bahnhof meaning train station. We thought the name of the train station was Richtung. We then proceeded to walk all the way across the city to this trainstation only to find out that it wasn't the name of the train station. We were extremely tired so we sat down and ate Burger King. After that we decided to just walk back to the school to meet with everyone since it was getting near 3. Only then on our way back did we find what the question was asking for and we realized that "in Richtung" wasn't the name of the train station...but meant "in the direction of". It was a long day...

After we got back we ended up getting 2nd place so we got some candy which was at least comforting for our efforts.

We then had to do our powerpoint presentations that we prepared beforehand. They were about New Jersey and life in Montgomery and that stuff. My presentation was about the school schedule. Everyone worked in pairs. Of course my partner was sick that day so I had to do it by myself. At least it was in English so It wasn't that bad.

I think afterwords Adrian and I just went home. I can't really remember so it must not have been very important.
