First days in Munich
It's been 2 full days since I've been in Munich. So far, I love the city and the Bavarian people. Some things about Munich make so much sense: you pay a little extra for water but you can return your bottles to recycle them and get some money back. Also, people don't really chew gum as it is rude in public--as much as I thought this "rule" was dumb at first, I appreciate it so much as I walk down the street and don't see any smashed chewed gum. My residence in Studentenstadt is what I expected--a really small room but I cannot complain--we have a bunch of little shops and about 2500 students live in the same Studentenwohnheim (residence) so there is a lot going on always. My language skills have improved a lot over the past two days...but I have definitely faced the fact that German is going to be tough to learn (I will do it though!). My intensive language class runs for 4 hours a day so I think that should help a lot. Other than that, it's been a great experience so far. I'll be sure to write more as my week unfolds.
