Social

So the past couple of days, I've been experiencing the night life, festivals, and barbeques. I won't go into much detail about night life, but festivals & BBQs. Germans are all about some festivals, this weekend has been EuroCity Fest/Stadtfest. Its insane, there are a lot of stands and the streets are decorated with all different stands and rows of flaggs hang over the streets going building to building. It's so beautiful. There are also INSANE amounts of people. It's insane, that and the amount of beer is phenominal. It's insane.
Okay, so yesterday I went to another BBQ for the students in Germany who are coming to America for this coming school year. It was fun, we played some soccer for a while, ate, and played more soccer. I am pretty confident when I say that I love brotwurst. It's so delicious. Soccer is also a lot of fun, but I hate playing with people who are good, which is basically everyone in Germany, but me. It sucks! Oh well though.

Today, I went to a Catholic Church service. It was all in German, I didn't understand that much, it was huge. Not up to date acoustics, and they spoke really fast or in song. It was very interesting though to see an actual catholic church service in the area where the catholic church first became predominant. But it was long too, roughly a 2 hour service. Lots of standing then sitting then standing. But overall it was very interesting.

After that we went to an Italian restaurant. Whoever thought of Salami and Pizza is a genius in my book. I have eaten probably at least 4 times. Its so good. But food is so delicious here, I don't think I've tried anything I haven't liked. A very surprising change.
