EEEEEbaaa bach!

Here is one of the booths at the Weinachtsmarkt



Above pic is the view from Matze's window. Rather beautiful :)

Im back in Eberbach! Matze had to come here to get 2 wisdom teeth out today --- and I even got to watch it! AWESOME!!! It was cool. The dentist said he was impressed because I handled it so well. Actually he also confessed he secretly wanted me to faint so he could save the day by reviving me back to life.. hehe

So Matze’s parents have ALREADY been spoiling me by offering delicious German foods, home baked German Christmas cookies, expensive wines... yyeaahh … lovin it!

Tomorrow we get to take THE CAR!!! WWWOOWW!! And go shopping in the city :o) Then we might FINALLY go see Harry Potter at the show. I’ve never planned on seeing ONE movie in the theater so many times in my whole life!!!

Last night I had SO MUCH FUN in Mannheim. I got to see some old friends and even made some new ones :o) We went to the Mannheimer Weinachtsmarkt for some gluhwein and met Olivia from New Zealand and my old friends Jess from Texas and Amy from Australia. They are both AMAZING women and we get along very well. After the gluhwein we went to a pub across the way (HAHA), ironic thing was the bar was having ‘American night’. There were some American soldiers there who seemed pretty eager (and rather annoying) to talk to some English speaking women.

Here is a pic from left:
Amy, Olivia, Frank, Jess, Katje


The Mannheimer hockey team was also there, and they had a player from Canada, Frank! What a very nice guy!! Frank bought all of us girls a few rounds!! Oh by the way- my friend Katje from Finland met us there for drinks. She’s a little young but very well traveled after having lived in Hungary, Croatia, Finland, and now Germany. Her English is fluent. By the end of the night all of us girls were having a GGREEAATT time and enjoying the free drinks. As we stepped outside we heard a few cat calls in English, some guys must have heard us speaking. Come to find out these two guys were from Detroit!!! I was very (more like overly) enthused with this—but come on people! What a small world! They were boxers traveling around and doing some international fights.

All in all- I had a wonderful night and glad I reconnected with my friends.
Next week I start an intensive German language course and may be taking a trip to Berlin for an interview with a PR company. Sadly it’s a 5-6 hour train ride, ONE WAY! Additionally, it costs 90 Euros for a one way ticket, but thankfully they will be taking care of that :p
