Hotel Jung Essen

... s Fair Ground Collection in Essen and decided to check it out. Not speaking any German one of Anders colleagues filled me in on the details about the collection, but for the most part I was in total awe of the spectacular site I was seeing. Located in the industrial part of Essen, this German man houses one of the most extensive collections of Fair Ground objects in the world. He began collecting at a young age, and now in his 70's, his goal now is to show ...

... that I am intelligent and I have learnt something!!!

However I am so glad that I was put in the bottom class because we got the best teacher by far and also... a whole heap of really fun people. I may not have had as much fun if I was with the brainy kids if u get my drift.

I have recovered from being ill on the weekend. I am telling u, sleeep is fantastic but so is an immune system builder called astralagus. It's a natural herby thing in tablet form ...

... they hung up! No idea, but damn them whoever they were for calling me in the middle of the night!!!! Who are they and why do they know my name? And who is Janine?? Curiouser and Curiouser...

So that brings be to today. Thismorning we had a test. Everyone was nervous about it and had done a lot of study. Because I went to the ballet last night I couldn't really do that. I set my alarm to wake me up early. But after my early morning phone call, I needed to sleep longer. When ...

... from Berlin via Hamburg in 2 weeks, which I may consider doing if it is not too expensive... We'll see.

So, not much has happened since my last email. I went on an excursion to the old Synagogue in Essen. I have a photo of it from my first day in Essen. I called it the Dome Kirche! Whoops. I should have called it the Dome Synagogue! Oh well.

I have bought a couple of tickets for some culture in the coming weeks. I am seeing the ...

... everyone about what had happened to us last night, so Rafael wore a suit, Martin wore a suit jacket and we tried to dress up as best we could to make ourselves presentable. Ironically, there were hundreds of kids, families, school excursions and the like at the Opera, and only a few oldies.

They tried to 'modernise' it a bit, so that it was more like a dream than a reality. The Prince wasn't in a wood, he was in bed and ...

... and see saws and Jair took photos with his camera. When I get a copy of them I will post them.

In Düsseldorf there was an Opera shop so we went in there to buy our tickets for La Boheme. There were only 3 left. 3 of us wanted to go. It was perfect. And so cheap! They really look after students here and give them fantastic discounts!

After that I tried my first ever taste of Häagen Daas Icecream which is supposed to be the best in the ...

... because of the trains. We went to Mayersche a giant bookstore in the Centre of Essen for a bit of cheering up. I found some wonderful books that I can use for my teaching in Australia, as well as a really cheap trashy teen fiction written in German that I am reading at the moment and understanding most of it.

When I got back to the hotel we made dinner and then got ready to go out to the Delta Diskothek. It's a giant disco that has ...

... sure that I go to my room and then give me a call at the hotel. I have to be there because I am not allowed to go out anywhere. Thanks so much for ur message! It makes me miss u even more!
Don"t worry about my safety. Luckily the hurricane changed direction and will hit the eastern states worse than here.
So I"ll go now. Still cooking dinner and it's 10pm. I will try and leave another blog entry tomorrow if I can to let u know what I get up to.

... but also has a lot of cultural things which I didn´t know about. I am excited that we will see a lot of theatre and music while we are here. We are going to see der Zauberflöte next week I think...

Tara and I went to Wal Mart to got shopping and I bought a toaster. I can´t live without my toast for breakfast! I am now known as toaster girl by Trev because he thinks that it´s funny. I am trying to eat healthy and I must confess that I ...
