City Hotel Bremen Am Bahnhof

Today we went to Bremen (Mason, Shawn, Steven, Soth, Dave and I). We took the 9:20 train from Braunschweig but 2 of the guys didn't make that one so we waited in Hannover for an hour for them to catch up on the next train. It was a 2 hour 20 minute total trip which was not bad.

It was raining when we got to Bremen so picture taking was di...

So after I got back on the train to Koblenz I feel asleep and woke up right on time to get off in Bremen so things were good until I left the train station and realized it was 6 in the morning I was still practically asleep with only 4 hours of sleep in the past 36 hours and this part of town looked like a **** hole. Also my phone just died and ...

I visited my new University today!

I was due on campus at 11 A.M to meet the coordinator of my summer program, but I ended up leaving my apartment slightly behind schedule. It's an easy commute though, I basically walked across the street and down a few blocks to the University. Although, map in hand, somehow I still managed to get lost ...

This week has been all about Orientation, and very scheduled. The first two days were full of informational sessions with teachers and other people discussing their roles on campus and such. Not extremely interesting but most likely it must be done so that we more informed about the culture of the school. It has been bearable, although every day...

Wow! What a day! Let me tell you, I never knew that day trips could be so fun! I went to Bremen today and it was simply AMAZING! I didn't do much there, except for visiting one of Germany's UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Bremen Marketplace. It is famous for two things: the Town Hall and Roland. Both the Town Hall and the statue called Roland s...
