Hallo. Ich bin Tourist.

Time has been flying by here. This weekend I thoroughly explored the Altstadt, which is certainly beautiful, but also completely inundated with tourists during the day. Along with large Cathedrals and Townhalls there are a bunch of mini-streets filled with shops of various varieties. I´m not much of a Consumer Tourist though and spent only a little time there. I´m saving my money for a Werder-Bremen jersey.

Friday evening some fellow classmates invited me to a German belly dancing festival. It was interesting.

A famous person once said "If you haven't seen German Belly Dancing in the rain you haven't really lived," but I may have misheard the quote.

I discovered a nice park near my apartment the contains soccer fields, basketball courts, and even a baseball field. I had no idea that Germans played baseball, but apparently they can and do. I plan on attempting the play some German basketball at some point, though it seems that the only Germans who play b-ball are those too large to play soccer. I'm not sure if I'm ready to take on a team of 5 DirkNowitzki's.

I also went to an Orchestra Concert at Die Gloke in the middle of the Altstadt, which was simply amazing, and for only 4€ was the best deal i've gotten yet.

Pitures, of a random order and of questionable significance, follow

Germans Love Hasselhoff

Windmill Resturaunt that cost too much

Daniel Radcliffe?

Suddenly I found myself in the middle of a German Bicycle Festival

It was not cool
