After spending countless hours on planes, trains, and buses, I finally arrived at the first of two destinations on my program—Münster, Germany! Navigating was a challenge, but the experience was worth it. I conducted conversations with cell phone store clerks and airport authorities alike. I experienced the cold but refreshing air of a late German winter as I passed old brick buildings and castles on hillsides.
Here in Münster, I am taking classes at the KAPITO Language School. I have already gone for a stroll through the city center, and it is breathtaking. I tagged along with a tour-group and overheard that some of the buildings I saw today were built in the 1500’s! The St. Lamberti church was particularly inspiring, and I’ve included a picture of it in this post. Although I have only been in this city for a short time, it seems like it has so much to offer, and I am eager to do a lot of exploring in the next few days.
As far as my living situation, I am renting a room 3 km away from my school. A fellow student is renting another room in the same apartment. He and the landlord are really nice, and I’m getting along with them very well.
