I have arrived in breman at 5am charlotte time... i met up with some othe uncw folks in frankfurt and we're checked into the hotel... as for why i can't help but to laugh, right around it would seem in my haste i failed to remember to unplug my camera battery as well as the power adapter i bought this morning. oh well... i am going to see if there is a store that might sell me a a new battery and charger, probably won't be cheap... damn... it might be a while before i upload any pics. the gro...

well should be a short post... its just past midnight here and i have class tomorrow and am going to bed... i must say i am in the process of adjusting to europe life. ive started to grow sideburns to fit in.
bremen is an intersting town, big tall buildings drawf the historic looking little shops. the river walk is lined with biergartens. its about 5 euro for a beer and you get a euro back when you return the cup... i might be keeping the cup its pretty cool
today marked our first trip to the school about 30 mins away. we met instructors other students and took a class picture. then we had lunch, and walked around until 2.
at 1:50 we met a heavily inebriated homeless guy who talked at us German... we left him when our tour started at 2. the tour was a strenuous 2 hr walking tour that covered both a rich history and an awesome culture of the 10th largest city in Germany (the smallest federal state in Germany).
a main part of the tour...
so today, around 5pm... local time we all did a bit of pregaming and around 8 we decided to go to a bar that has shots for a euro a piece.. along the way we stopped to get a doner, that's 3/3 for anyone keeping track at home... well Eric and i went to find the Euro Bar without much success.. after walking around for 2 hrs we stumbled upon an Irish pub and paid 4.10 euro for a perfect 42 degree Guinness.
it was worth every penny...
after the beverage. we caught the second to last...
currently 1.38 dollars to the euro, keep fallin baby...
tonight the university, Hochschule, arranged a party for all its study abroad members, some 100 people from over 20 nations. tonight my neighbor went home with some girl from Bulgaria... (sketch) i talked to a Madrid native about Renaldo's move to real Madrid, he was not a fan. a handful of drunken Jordanians toasted America all night and our friends from Mexico... well for them the night is still young and we'll see them in class...

... and the main market area. After looking at about 10 places to eat we finally decided on a restaurant. We walked in and waited to be seated only to find out that it was the type of restaurant (like most in Germany) where you seat yourselves, we looked silly. The meal was really good. I had Bremer Knipp, which is a speciality in the area. It was basically a patty of ground meat and onions and stuff overtop of amazing potatoes with tons of spices. We couldn’t figure out ...

... to my surprise it was 2 blocks away from the train station. You can actually see the train station from the entrance to the building. Yet anyways, I called Norbert and he was already at the office so he came down and took me up to the office. It was really cool to see, it had a lot of the same feeling that we have in San Diego. Then Norbert showed me around and we talked a little business and then headed out to tour the city. Again much to my Surprise ...

What can I say - I really love Germany and this little town is no exception. Actually stayed here a couple of nights mainly to catch up on emails and sleep. This is a cute little town that is most well known for its travelling musicians of Bremen which is a rooster atop the cat atop the dog who is standing on the donkey (apparently they were scaring robbers who invaded their house). They have a statue of this in the centre of town. Aside from this the town is ...

... given a map of town, assorted documents that prove my student status here at the university (for tram pass discounts and such), as well as some advice about finding the nearby lake and more info about the Breminale festival. Then I left her office and met with my lab group. Since my advisor is offshore until Wednesday, I met with the postdoc who picked me up from the airport. He's super friendly, and he introduced me to another (dare I say, attractive) guy, who gave me a tour of the ...

... I was. The girls and I didn't really stay for any music, since we were getting super tired and had already walked for about 3 hours at that point, but it was interesting watching the sun set at 10pm!! (I looked it up. Bremen is at 53 degrees N compared to Irvine, at 33 degrees N, so the days are going to be verrrry long this summer!)
We meandered away from the festival, and hopped on the tram (they are super clean, quiet, and smooth to ride, plus the stops are ...
