Having successfully made it through the door I continued on to my Hotel, and since I had nothing else to do until I had to report to the Universität the next day, I went exploring. I first went to the Bremen Hauptbahnhof, which involves crossing a life threatening 7 or 8 lanes of bus/train traffic to reach. I am now able to cross train tracks like it is second nature.
I then went on to find a wonderful park on the river.
And a Movie Theater. Apparently Die Hard translates to Die Slowly.
The next day I took the train to the University to report for class. There were lots of people from all over there, but most seemed to be from the USA, one was even from University of Washington. I first had to placement test to determine which class I would be taking (B1.2), and then was taken to my accommodation. I´m pretty confident that I got one of the best rooms available. It´s on the third floor right next to the river and the football(soccer) stadium. To my unbelievable disappointment the season doesn´t begin until August 11th. Frau Holste is the Landlady and she seems very nice, and I share the upper floor the two other students, one from Köln who studies History and Math at the University, and the other is from Bulgaria, studied in America, and is now interning in Bremen.Fussball Stadion from my window

After settling in I went out on the Hamburg Staße, which is the main street nearby, and followed it all the way to the Altstadt, everything was closed by the time I got there, so I will have to return. The Alststadt was old and beautiful, as I suppose most city centers are here. The feeling however was a bit ruined when I stumbled upon a McDonald's.

A very dark Old City

My first class begins in a few hours, wish me luck
