While Bremen was not a very large city, it was still very fun to explore. It was a bummer that it was raining at times, but we still found fun things to do. Continue reading “A Trip to Bremen”

So…Now What?
“So you went to Germany for six weeks?”
Yep. We did. We experienced German culture at its finest over the past six weeks. We visited multiple cities in, and even around, Germany. We tried our best to converse with locals in German. We even took two classes in the middle of all that. But I’m willing to bet that every single one of us would want to do it all over again.
What I did this Summer
This summer was amazing! I still remember when I first heard about it at Calvin; I called up Dad and said, “Dad, guess what- I’m going to Germany this summer”. There was never a dull moment for the past six weeks. If we weren’t busy with class or homework, we were out exploring the city or some other part of Germany.

Going to Germany was a good experience. I found the trip to be a good length (6 weeks) because I was constantly learning knew things about the city, but I didn’t get tired of the city life and noise until the end of the trip. It was neat to experience a different culture and see how the German people live. The food was good (mostly because of these wonderful things called Dӧners. Google ‘em for more info) but German food lacks fruit and vegetables, a major staple of my diet, so that was something to get used to. We always spent a fair amount of time on school work, but it was never overwhelming. The group seemed to have a good dynamic and homework was usually a social event, allowing us to all check methods and results with others. The professors did a good job keeping us busy on the weekends while still giving us some time to travel independently or just relax. Overall, the trip was great and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Goodbye Germany
These past 6 weeks have been amazing. I was so excited going into this trip, although a little weary to start school 8 weeks early. But it was definitely worth it. It was so cool to live in another culture for so long, while not being a tourist, which was kind of a strange feeling. Continue reading “Goodbye Germany”
