So there is this Kinderspielplatz over by my house. BTW Kinderspielplatz is German for Playground. And it has this Zip Line Swing. AMAZING!!!

So I showed Mia and she thought it would be dumb at first. NOPE PROVED HER WRONG!!!

Here is a video and some pictures of how fun it was. We were laughing the whole time like little 5 year olds.

You must click to see the video obviously...

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. But here we go. This is going to be a big one but seperated in 4 parts

The first part are my BAR TRIPS! Now I don't go often, but when I do, I am LEGAL to drink all, and my host parents allow me to drink, but not in excess. Like if I came home completely drunk and incoherrent, I would be in a LOT of trouble.

SO here we go!

And remember if you want to see it bigger, CLICK IT!

Teachers: You may or may not want to see this. There are images of alcohol in my hand...so proceed if you want. XD

Now onto the Herrenhäuser Gärten

There was a HUGE fireworks show from the Dutch team. SO I took pictures all day and some of the show:

And

here is some more of Hannover. Just to let you know, the reason I took a picture of the red light district is BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT! Hahaha!

Tonight!

was really fun.

Corianne and I went to Stadtfest in Barsinghausen.
And we collected beer mugs...
I ended up finding 9 beer mugs...
And I carried them all home.
2 Trains 1 hour, and a lot of stares...
It was great.

But I am soooo tired.
I feel like sleeping in this chair.
But I won't.
I am going to get off now and go to sleep.

I love you.

These photos are of Engelbostel. It is a little village that is celebrating it's 925+ birthday...so we went on a tractor ride around where the old fences used to be. It was cool, in it's own special way. Pictures of my school are to come.

Again, to see a picture larger...click on it.

Das ist den Garten.

Now the rooms:

Wow...

2008-08-13T07:13:00.000-07:00

klso my first flight was weird...a drunk guy was near me and hitting on every woman. And of course he got shot down and moments before that he explained to me how his wife left him. Awkward! Hahaha right now I'm in the Amsterdam airport waiting for my flight. I'm bored...just thought ibwould update a bit.

The day I am leaving will be:

2008-07-07T21:52:00.000-07:00

August 12th!
I am leaving at 5:47 p.m. from Will Rogers World Airport
I will be flying to Minneapolis first then from Minneapolis
to Amsterdam. Then from Amsterdam to Hanover.
I will arrive in Hanover at 3:40 p.m.
So it is a 18 hour flight but to me it will feel like a 22 hour flight.

So if you can, please come and say your goodbyes either at
my Gute Reise Party at Eastwood Baptist Church on August 9th.
Or you can actually come to the Airport.
I would really appreciate it.

You all still must write me a letter before I leave.
I will not open them up until I am actually on the plane.

I love you all.

Welcome

Hello,
This will be where I blog about my year of living in Germany.

I have a few points that tick me off about all this:

1. It is not a trip... I will be living there.
2. I am not a tourist. I will be living as a local.
3. I may not be always happy...culture shock and
homesickness will hit me. So don't get
offended if I get angry...unless you really
did something.

Other than that. I love you all. And I will keep you updated when things
are posted on here.
