Live from Germany, it's LGM!

[strazer]

Their toilets are so neat. No water in the bowl, and zou push a big plastic button that washes awaz everzthing down the hole in the FRONT of the bowl.

Hehe, yeah.
I don't know if it's like that everywhere in the US, but the toilets in our hotel in NYC were filled to the top with water. If you take a dump, it splashes everywhere. I hate it.
And they don't seem to be designed for, erm...european needs? My first try clogged the toilet and we had to call the janitor...

That was really, truly nice to know. Thanks for sharing.

I'm male, we have no problem talking about such things...

I'm lazy and i haven't read ALL of the thread... why is LGM in the father land?

16:24

Hey hey, first dyz of school was a-okay! That rhymes...

Anyways, I woke up to the alarm at 6:35! For breakfast we had kakao (cocoa) and Brötchen (hard rolls) with Maramalade. I love the bread here. It's nice and hard und schmeckt sehr gut.

After breakfast, I got mz things together and Dominik treated me to a ".5 Liter" bottle of "Fürsten Brunn Natürliches Mineralwasser." It tasted good at first, but then got bitter and salty near the bottom. It tastes like carbonated water, basically, with a slight tang to it. It's good in moderation. I believe that it's giving me the runs (whoopsie!)

Frau Feld drove us to the Parade area (which is kindof like a town square in America) The Rathaus (courthouse) is in this area, and the Schlössbergstässe beginnt auch da.

Dominik and I walked up the long street, it's name certainly fitting, as it was the steepest slope I've climbed. And I have to climb that mountain jeden Tag!!! I'm definitely going to lose some weight while I'm here.

After we got to school, I sat in Dominik's homeroom and just observed the conversations and behaviors. I feel like such a doofus sometimes for not being so open.. But I'm trying. It's hard to carry on conversations with people who speak a language zou can onlz speak at a five-year old level... perhaps even less than that.

The first period we were introduced to Frau Berg. She explained our schedule for the month, and handed out our class schedules. I'm in Dominik's class. I have every class he does except for when we meet with Frau Brown-Lowe or go on "excursions."

Second period, Frau Lauer gave us a tour of the entire campus. Everything is so beautiful... I took alot of pictures, and I hope they all turn out.

3rd period, we had a "Pause (pow-zuh)" first and I bought my first item in Deutschland: Apple Juice! Although, this apple juice was made with mineral water. It was very good, but makes you gassy after awhile. Mmmm...German food...

Near the end, Herr Brede came and talked to us. He explained many things. He warned us to be responsible when we are faced with the decision to drink. They are having two festivals during our stay, both of which involve alcohol. (What DOESN'T in Germany?) As long as I don't get caught drinking by Frau I'll be okay. I don't want to get drunk... And I don't want to drink all the time, so I'll be safe.

He also mentioned the state of the school renovations. Right now, the buildings are showing their wear and tear. But it is WAY too expensive to renovate the outsides of the buildings. $10,000,000 to just fix the fronts of the buildings. The reason for this is because German law has strict building codes. Everything must adhere to old architecture styles in historical areas. Everything must remain the same and look like it did 300 years ago. It's crazy.

After our meeting, Frau Brown-Lowe took us into town and bought us postcards, notebooks for our Journal assignments, and ice cream. We probably walked a mile all together. It was great fun. We fed the pigeons..hehe...Pigeons are funny.

Now I am sitting here after watching German TV, (which is very interesting. MTV is cool... and lots of commercials you'd never see in America. I saw some bare booty!) eating lunch, (spaghetti, beef patties, baked beans, and salad.) watching more TV, taking their dog Timi for a walk and playing Unreal with Dominik. I'm tired... so this is where I leave zou now..



Strazer: Not ALL toilets are like that.. lol.. Usually they are a third full. Or sometimes 1/2.. But if you're in NY, strange shit like that always happens.. Maybe it was rats spalshing in the toilet

Johnny Odd: I'm here on a one-month student exchange. So I can see what a non-moron inhabited country is like

[auhsor]

Thats sounds like a pretty cool time your having a pretty cool time lgm. I wouldnt mind going overseas for a while, but I dont think thats gonna happen anytime soon.
Make sure you say: 'Nein das is mein hamburger' to someone... I know I would.

[Las Naranjas]

I said that to some exchange students in year 11. They asked me why everyone kept saying it to them. Apparently, when they were in Goulburn, it was yelled at them in the street, which is hilarious.

[LGM]

Hahah..I have to try that sometimes.. Right now we get are kicks by just yelling out fuck and shit and stuff.. Cause most of them don't know what it means.. And if they do, they think it's funny.. lol

Oh well. It's fun.. The people like me over here. I'm not obnoxious and stupid over here. Maybe I can get laid... Or not.. ha!



I'm so pathetic
