Stuttgart
This is picture is of me when I went ot visit the Mercedes-Benz Museum Hi, I'm writing to reflect another week in Germany. Let’s see, I have been in Stuttgart last week and have some pictures to add that are pretty cool. I also got to explore the little town that I currently reside in and its surroundings. I will elaborate on it at I add the pictures. Life in Germany seems to be going pretty good. I think that I have adopted living here quite well. One thing that I have heard some people wishing that they had is a car. I mean it would be nice and more convenient, but not necessary. The public transportation is awesome here, I can get a bus that comes every 15 minutes to go to the train station and from there I can pretty much find a train to any large German city.
I don’t think I have talked about having classes in German this far. My class consists of ten students that have the same level of German as I do. We basically learn German for the four and a half hours. The teacher is very enthusiastic about his teaching and makes it really fun. The other day, we all were took an oral test
First Car Invented
Here is a history fact: the first car invented was in 1886 by Karl Benz. That’s one thing I learned while salivating all over the Mercedes cars in the museum. Oh, they also used Mercedes engines in World War 2 airplanes. Behind me you will find what the first self propelled car looks like. and no one even new we were taking one. We were playing this grammar game and at the end the teacher said it was a test. I don’t know how he graded us, but he did take notes apparently I was unaware. Oh well. Hakan, my professor also asks us to do something after class. Last week we all met and went to play soccer. Tomorrow we all are going to meet and go for a long bike ride (can’t wait). It’s nice that he goes out of his way and organizes after class activities for his students and others are welcome as well.
