Fairly regular day in class, learning about new things and had the discussion/debate over Atomenergie/ Kernenergie (Atomic and Nuclear Energy). It was sort of interesting, but none of us are completely educated about the topic so we only had so much to say. On top of that, those of us who knew things, didn't know how to get our point out in German. For lunch, they had two options, but because I had eaten a lot of food, I went with the cheaper, less food option even though Essen I looked really good. Although, I thought the 3 Eierpfannkuchen mit Heidelbeerquark (3 egg pancakes with blueberry quark) was absolutely delicious. :) Fruit quark, apparently is a very popular dessert among German countries, it's a soft cheese that is quite similar to joghurt (yogurt) but is a cheese so it has a different flavor. In retrospect, I should have taken a picture before I indulged.Afterwards, I met up with my Tandem-Partner, Julia! She's very nice, and we seem to have a similar ideas so that's good. She comes from a smaller town near Kiel, in northern Germany. She wants to be an art teacher and goes to Hochschule fuer Kunst and it's free to go there. She was able to give me a few recommendations around town too, which is exciting because I didn't know anyone who lived in Bremen before now, aside from my host-family (with whom we don't talk with very often, unfortunately). She was also amazed by the amount of Schulden (debt) students in America accumulate. I also found out "To kill to birds with one stone" idiom has almost a perfect translation in German "Zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen" (Hit two birds with one stone).
Even better, she offered to show me and Rachel around her favorite parts of town this next Monday and we're going to eat at a place called "Pannekoekschip "Admiral Nelson" " Which is a restaurant that basically only has different types of pancakes on their menu, but not just breakfast type, they have one called "Rotkäppchen" meaning Red Riding Hood and is "Pfannkuchen mit Salami, Mozzarella und Tomate" (Pancake with Salami, Mozzarella and Tomatoes) they have lots of interesting things. I'm quite excited!
