I’m told by the school director that usually there isn’t this much (or any) snow in Munich this early. He said it’s usually like this in the end of January, but I love it! There’s a ton and it’s snowed almost every day for the last two weeks. It’s really piling up and hopefully will keep doing so until my family gets here on Sunday. I went around the Altstadt a bit today and took a few pictures of the snow covered Christmas market. Hopefully we’ll have a white Christmas too!
Today was my last day at EF Munich (my language school) and it was kind of sad since I had to say a lot of goodbyes. I got my language certificate though and we got to watch a movie for the last part of class, which was nice. I’m really going to miss all the friends I made though. At least now I have two weeks of vacation 😊
Update from two weeks ago: Since my friend Jordi found out I didn’t really get to celebrate my American holiday (Thanksgiving), because obviously no one here in Germany celebrates it, he took me out to an awesome German restaurant
Thanksgiving feast!!
to give you an idea, that piece of lemon is an entire half of a lemon and we celebrated it together. This restaurant was awesome and it has got to have the biggest wiener schnitzel in Munich. The thing is more than enormous. If you order two wiener schnitzels at a regular restaurant, put together they’re probably alllmost as big as this one was. Not to mention it comes with either fries or “potatoes” under it. I ordered potatoes and they turned out to be potato chips haha. But it’s a holiday! I’ll find the name of the restaurant this week so anyone visiting Munich can find it. Anyways, Jordi and I sat for a while and enjoyed our food with a beer each and talked about Thanksgiving, Barcelona, and the history of Spain. It was great!
My friend Chun Peng from Taiwan went home this week too, but he’s coming back after the holidays. We had lunch before he left at Bento Box, which is one of the best Asian restaurants in the city. It was nice to eat Chinese/Taiwanese style again with a lot of different foods that you share in the middle and you can have something from everything.
My teacher said that when we get back from the holiday break
(but I’m not coming back) we can all take the test to skip over the B2 level and go straight to C1! Which is pretty cool to know even though I can’t do it. I’ve been watching a lot of movies in German that I got and I’ve really liked them so far. Haha granted that a lot of them are American movies that I just watch in German. It’s good for learning though since I already know the storyline so I can concentrate more on what’s said then having to figure out the feelings of each character and all that. I did get some original German ones too though :P
I’ve realized I’ve been in Germany along time. Really I’ve been out of the country for a long time this year, almost half. My German blogs just passed the number of Chinese blogs I have, but I was travelling in China everyday and always had something new and interesting to report on here.
