This has been my favorite week by far. I feel that I\u2019ve made the most progress in the last 7 days with my German than in the previous weeks here. I\u2019m starting to feel more comfortable at speaking German with locals and am still enjoying meeting new people. The people of Germany seem to have their own unique reserved personalities. However, once you begin a conversation and tell them a little about yourself they begin to open up.<\/p>\n
Today we went to Osnabr\u00fcck to meet the new Fulbright Scholar who will be teaching and attending Rollins for the next two semesters. She took us to a local restaurant called Kartoffelhaus. I had one of the best meals in my entire life there. The Bratwurst with potatoes and fried eggs were amazing! The city itself also had a lot of history pertaining to the 30 year war. I wish that I had more time to explore the area as it seemed to be very full of history and points of interest.<\/p>\n
One highlight of my trip is going to a barbeque with my host. She took to me to a friend\u2019s house where a small group of people met and talked until late into the night. It was definitely an experience that I\u2019ll remember for the rest of my life. The food was good, the conversation was nice, and the company was fun.<\/p>\n
