I&#8217;m very impressed with the public transportation. The bus system is extremely efficient. It\u2019s no problem if you miss your bus since there always seems to be an alternative. I was surprised to find that you can wait 20 minutes for the same bus line to return. I\u2019m not used to having such a great mode of public transportation.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of the trip so far has been trying the great food in M\u00fcnster and working on my language skills. My favorite part of M\u00fcnster is the Altstadt which strikes me as having a real German authenticity to it. I\u2019m looking forward to what else this trip might bring my way as I have already learned much about the wonderful German culture, and myself in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m glad to say that the first week at Kapito Sprachschule has been a success!
