Mister Bed Hotel Longwy

It shames me a little that I did not write about our day trip to Luxembourg, the window shopping we did, and the museum exhibit we saw. I feel honestly that I will not write about it at length, though.

I'll just publish a few photos of our visit for now, and perhaps they will inspire me later to write more at length, because it was lots...

So I would like to start this entry by telling you about the homework I did this morning. These are my notes:
Magic is a power that is acted and controlled by human beings. Black Magic is used for evil, such as killing a person, making children/animals sick, etc. White Magic is used for good, such as helping crops grow, healing the sick, et...

My first full day in Lux city. Full meaning left Belvaux at 3 and getting back at 8. Me and Kristen decided to go to the history of luxembourg city museum, which is having an exhibition on life and murder. We took the train, and that went good. Got off and found a bus that went to the center of town since we both knew the museum was somewhere ar...

So the next couple of entries are going to be pretty long and show you the last couple of days I have had in Luxembourg.

So, In Differdange: I live a 2 min. walk from the Chateau where I have class everyday. There is a fine bakery that I have yet to try, but cannot wait! I can ride the train in and out of the city for free (with my Jum...

Apparently people, especially women, are not supposed to smile or make eye contact with random people in Europe. Wait... what? Yes you read correctly. When a woman smiles and makes eye contact with a man, it means they are hitting on them or want to go home with them. And supposedly if a man is smiling, in the words of Dean LeTerre, it just mean...

On the last day of orientation, we took the bus to Diekirch, Vianden, and Moselle. Diekirch was our first stop, where we ended up at a local high school to eat lunch and listen to some speakers talk about medieval life, WW2, and The Battle of the Bulge. Although these topics are both very interesting, the buses were about an hour late getting to...

On Friday we took a bus to Luxembourg City during our orientation. First we stopped at the US and German World War II cemeteries located in Hamm, Luxembourg, and then continued to the city. The cemeteries were really interesting, and it was easy to see the difference between the two. First we stopped at the US cemetery and there was a gated entr...

The busiest week yet. I hardly had time to sleep, let alone blog. I apologize for not keeping up. I know you all are eagerly waiting to hear about what I'm doing as I trek across Europe. Oh, btw, Amber and I are having a competition on who gets the most hits to our blog. Team, I'll be honest with you, you're way behind. I'll accept full responsi...

Luxembourg is the third smallest country in Europe. it took us awhile to get from Heidelberg to Luxembourg because we had to change trains 3 times. we finally got there, dropped our stuff off at the hotel, and hit the town. Luxembourg is known for banking. it is very ritzy and very expensive. the country has quite a history being so strategicall...

Matkamme alkoi 2.2 illalla Yläneeltä. Saimme automme korjaamolta iltapäivällä vielä valoisan aikana, joten saimme kaikessa rauhassa pakata tavaramme. Volvon takaluukun pienuudesta huolimatta saimme suurimman osan tavaroista sinne ja takapenkille päätyi vain lumilauta ja läppäri. Samalla saimme myös uuden navigaattorimme etulasiin kiinni ja herei...
