Osnabrück

so went to osnabrück with afs this weekend and it was okay met people from all over: bolivia, honduras, china, japan, dominican republic, italy, switzerland, russia, thailand, ecuador and places it was sweet. and i also felt really smart because the most common spoken language was english and whenever someone couldn't think of a word they would ask me or a girl from texas. oh yeah she was the only other from usa. but then we did a bunch of workshops all day and ate the exact same thing legitimately same thing for breakfast lunch and dinner.

yes, bread. bread with cheese and meat. sweet.

but it was good bread so it was ok.

yeah so also things i noticed here i forgot to mention

-boys dress up every day like its picture day its adorable

-they style their hair also adorable

-german teens eat at school all day long: chocolate and bread

-the teachers wear jeans! like all week

-they have parties every weekend

-they really do ride their bikes everywhere

-they dress up for school in cute outfits everyday but wear it two days in a row like a lot of people will wear the same blouse with like a high belt thing? sorry for the poor fashion language arden and the next day like wear a different belt with the same blouse

-if they use binders in school its one huge one with everything in it, otherwise these folders with like idk how to explain but you hole punch papers with two holes on the side of the paper but like halfway and they go in the folders

-i think most families eat lunch when you get home from school

yeah and theres like a billion eiscafes in the city here and i went to one today adn you sit down like a restaurant and you order these intricate ice cream dishes and they bring it to you!
