So here we are, at the one week point. We´ve actually done a whole lot so far. There are a few things that stand out among everything else here in Germany.
First off, there´s the level of activity of the people here. It´s awesome! We just ate dinner outside and at least once every two minutes someone ran past. Then there´s the people that ride their bikes, which is almost everyone. The people are so fit!
Another thing that sticks out is how fast the trains go. A week ago we were going 200 kilometers per hour! That´s crazy! And traveling is so easy, the trains go everywhere.
Then, there´s the bureaucracy. Here in Germany there is paperwork for everything. And fees. You have to register, and pay taxes on, tv and radio here. Insanity.
Most of all, it´s how our city doesn´t always feel like a city. A block away from our house is a massive, wooded, and very green park. Also, at night, our block is incredibly quiet. The only sound you can hear is the tram going past on the other side of the building.
Until next time,
Craig and Amy Goodwin

Sounds like fun!! What is the temperature like in Germany? It would be miserable eating outside here, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe temperature is currently in the 60s. I think I have taken off my fleece jacket once since we´ve been here. However, this weather is very abnormal and it should be warming up very soon.
