The highlights of the day were buying underwear, because my luggage will not come until Monday now, and going to the city's 18/19 year old football game. Suligen was winning 3-0 at half time, so the team prepared for the win by bringing out the winner's shirts and beer. They of course won in the end. 5-0, I think.
Tomorrow we leave for our trip into central Germany. It is a five to six hour bus ride. No one is looking forward to that.
I'm learning a lot; mostly farm related vocabulary and commonly used slang from the students. I think in German a little bit more each day. It helps in translating and figuring out what I am going to say. It is a little scary as well to hear yourself think in a different language. Also, the keyboard here is a little jumbled. If some of the y's in the words are replaced with z's (for example) you will know why. It could also be because my brain is a little jumbled as well.
The food is good. Lots of carbs in every meal. Breakfast is normal, similar to the US. Lunch is always a large, hot meal to sustain yourself throughout the day. Then dinner is quite small and seemingly late compared to the US. It works out well with the farm life, because the large lunch allows us to take advantage of the sunlight. Last night the sun was up until about 9:20 pm.
