Class was fairly regular, aside from a kind girl in my class who is from France, but studies in Switzerland. She had a gefuellte croissant but it was a special kind with Toblerone chocolate inside. I commented how Toblerone was awesome and she gave me a small part. It was uh-mazing. Later I chatted with her a little more and then during one of our breaks we talked about how we were hungry and she asked if I wanted to split another croissant. She said she wasn't hungry enough for a full one but wanted to settle her stomach. When I was searching for half the amount, she said she would pay for it all! :) I wish I had remembered how to say "thank you" in French, oh well.
Also, unfortunately, I forgot all about uploading my video whilst at school. Oh well, Rachel and I went to lunch, had delicious Erbseneintopf mit frischem Gemüse (Pea soup with fresh vegetables). It was amazing! And vegan too. Anyhow, thinking along the lines of how I might me mal-nourished, I decided that I wanted to get some vitamins. Medicine and these types of things can only be purchased in a Drogerie or an Apotheke (Pharmacy) so we went into our favorite shopping center (Walle Center) and looked in the Apotheke. That's when I saw Centrum, I knew exactly what it was and it was what I wanted, I didn't have to look up words to make sure it was. I look at the price and my jaw dropped. For 30 tablets it was 8,95 euros, and for 100: 24,95. That was utterly outrageous in my opnion. Centrum was not a brand that I could love and trust in Germany. So we wandered back to a smaller store that reminded me of a tiny German Walgreens, and we passed a nice little neighborhood.
Rachel then pointed out how the fences looked pretty but also very sharp and fierce, and that only Germans could do that.
We enter the store, where I had recalled seeing something along the lines of A-Z vitamin something or another. Sure enough, I found what I wanted for such a better price. 100 tablets for 3,59. No complaints whatsoever. It was also interesting to discover that they have a lot of homeopathic teas that are supposed to help you sleep and relieve stress or are sick, und so weiter. (etc.). As we were wandering out, I saw something that was familiar, but not quite the same. It still made me smile though!
This being from Switerland surely meant it tasted better, but alas, I did not buy any as I had just bought something better (even if it wasn't chocolate).
I came home and /finally/ got my video to upload to YouTube. Whew!
