It's been a while, Autobahn!

Aparently I'm alot more busy than I thought I would be since it's been over a week since I last updated everyone on how I was doing. Okay so in order, exciting news:

1. My hair is straight
Now for most people this is not a big deal, but my first few weeks proved that german electricity > american appliances (i.e. flat iron, blow dryer, converters) hence, forcing me to buy new ones. So that all worked.

2. I got a phone!
A cell phone, finally. Here's my number: 01578-3541332. It costs me 15cents/text, and 15cents/minute calling to americam plus 7cents/each additional minute of calling. It was the cheapest option as far as cell phones go, but again, check with your provider, to make sure a text from/to me, won't cost you an arm and a leg. I also have unlimited calling here, from my house phone, so if you ever want me to call, make sure I have your number, and that you're availabe (e-mail me or send me a message on facebook).

3. AUTOBAHN!
Today, we went to Köln, and took the Autobahn, super sweet, we went about 100MPH, not so fast, but faster than the blue bomber for sure. It was pretty sweet, but our trip started at 7am, so of course, I was sleeping after the inital excitement.

4. Language Camp is almost over
This has not exactly met my expectations yet, but I think I may have set them too high. I can understand so much, but my speaking is still really limited. Pretty soon it will be too hard for me to write everything in "good english" so, you'll mostly get pictures.

5. STARBUCKS!
This explains itself, and Gottseidank, I have it.

6. Hamburg.
I have a week left here in Everswinkel, then I move to Hamburg. My other host family is coming to pick me up, luckily. My shoulder's been acting up quite a bit, so carrying all my luggage over the 4 changes I would have had on the train, would have been a bit much. I found out that my school is really close to my house in Hamburg. It's 1,1 km away from each other (.65mi), so really close. Most likely walking distance, I doubt I would drive, that doesn't make much sense.

7. Münster
I have made several trips to Münster, and I love it there, it's not very big, but it's got that bigcity feel, with smallcity warmth. It's great. Its fun to shop, and spend waaaay too much money. I'm trying to buy more clothes so I don't look so American, but aparently it's not working. I went into the Puma store, and went to the Kasse (Register), and immediately, the man spoke English to me. I must scream American. Oh well. I like it.

8. Köln
Today we visited Köln and I bought a few things and did some serious German historical sightseeing, that was pretty interesting. Köln is a very Americanized town, as I'm sure alot of German places that were destroyed in the war are. The following pictures are mostly from Köln today, and some from previous places and events.
