Hello!
Things are going along well here in Bremen. This past weekend I had a treat when I received a care package from one of my best friends, Kyllikki. She sent a digital photograph viewer keychain which she had uploaded some photos of us on to - it could not have been more perfect! I really love it.
Saturday I explored the Schnoor, the oldest part of the oldest section of Bremen with my friend Tankut. The streets are no wider than a twin size mattress. It tends to be a very touristy area of town and I took advantage of that to buy a couple Christmas presents. I also took some pictures, but I will have to put them in another post since I don't happen to have my camera with me.
From the Schnoor, Tankut and I headed to the Viertel (the Quarter). The Viertel is the student section of town with bars, restaurants, clubs, and lots of bookstores. Tankut had previously found a feminist bookstore and we looked at. 98% of the books were in German, but there was one row of books in English. They weren't really feminist, one in fact was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but it was nice to know there is a place in town that I can get English books if I so desire.
Sunday was a relaxed day. I went to an English mass on Jacobs campus then all 15 of the people who attended mass at brunch together at one the college servieries (a fancy word for a cafeteria). It was neat to meet more people and have some more discussions.
Sunday afternoon and evening I spent at the Blue House doing my laundry, hanging out with Alissa, and then there happened to be a big group dinner where we ordered Chinese food. It was kind of bizarre to see a menu for Chinese food in German. I got something similar to chicken fried rice and it was really good. We all watched a movie of the Jacobs Olympix (which I did not participate - I know you all are shocked). It was just relaxed fun.
I'll try to post some pictures toinght!
Love,
Elizabeth
