A much better day.

So today was much better. I feel much better, but I can still feel where the pressure was in my head. Anyways, today was a good day. I went to school like normal, I am understanding more and more everyday and speaking more and more German everyday. Even if I know my grammar is wrong, I still need to speak to better other parts of my speaking.

Okay so, I noticed something today. Aaron and I were walking around and we stopped at a Brotwurst stand for some chow. I ordered my food (in german) and aaron got the same thing I did, currywurst. So instead of having chairs and tables to sit and eat at. They just had like tables and a counter. This is very interesting because usually in America you eat sitting down, unless you are walking around and eating. Well, here you stand up at the counter or table, and chow down on your food. It's not a big deal, but I need to remember this for my class. It is a cultural difference... somehow.

Oh a tiny good story; after eating I went to catch the bus (Bus 9) so I see it and I get on. Not thinking of much I listen to my Zune and look out the window. Well after like 30 minutes, I have no idea where I am. So I decided just to wait it out and maybe we would go somewhere I recognize. Wrong. I got on the right bus, it was just going the other way. So I realize this, at the end of the route when I look at the bus schedule. So I go to my bus driver and ask him if he speaks English, which he didn't. So with my amazing German skills, I found out where I was and that I just had to ride the bus to the other side of town. I mean it only took like an hour and 20 minutes, not that bad. I was worn out though, I almost fell asleep on the bus.

Okay so, my day in a nutshell. I also added a link on the right column titled 'Pictures from Europe 2009'. Popular demand was some pictures, so I listened to the people. Enjoy.
