I should write something really, I have been such a bad blogger recently. Well lets just start anyways. Changed cities. I moved from Rosenheim 100,000 people to Aschau 5,000. It is certainely a change getting used to. Rosenheim is about 35 minutes away by train. My new city is very nice, but soo quiet. I was spoiled a bit with my last city, being as big as it is. I believe the 3rd largest in my rotary district. But nonetheless, I am here now. And my new city is directly located between two mountains, right under neath them. So as you could imagine, skiing is huge here. I look forward to trying that. Also the strange thing is, It is November 23rd, the temperature everyday is usually 0 or below Celsius. ( 32 or below F ) and there is noooo snow. SO strange. There is frost every morning, but never snow. It is soo weird, and also, almost every single day it is foggy, and the sun only comes out for a few hours in the afternoon. I also switched schools in my move. So far so good. My new school is soo big, but in general they seem to be more open towards foreigners. My other school, I developed a group of friends but the other people their seemed to be hesitant towards me. Here every where I go, people are introducing themselves and saying hi. I know the first week, I will be popular, because I am the new kid, and it usually goes away after a week or so, but its still fun. Also this school is not as focused on a sole thing of education, it is a more general school. My old school was focused on music and languages. I also took another trip to Wasserburg, with of course the exchange students there. Was an amazing weekend, hundreds of pictures, and memories that will last a lifetime, and a few souvenirs, was one of my better nights so far here in Germany. Deutsch is coming along well, I speak it everyday in school with people, and most of the teachers, I understand about 50 percent of whats going on in school. And in general conversations with people I understand probably about 75 percent of what is being said. Thats if they are speaking high german. If they are speaking Bavarian, forget it. If you dont know, High German is what is considered as the normal german. It is taught in schools, and is used throughout Germany. But here in Bavaria, there is a very famous dialekt know as Bavarian. It is German with a very heavy accent, slurred way of speaking, and many completely different words. It simply is a different language. But My goal is to learn high german first, and then if i ever can master that, I will start to try and master Bavarian. Well thats whats been going on.
Tschüss
