Well I met wencke right outside the train station which is literally right across the street from Were my hostel is! Ha ha the first thing wencke asked mr I why I got a hostel in the red light district I thought you said you'd rather not! Ha ha
well.....
I guess it has something to do with me not knowing anything about this city and still am not quite fluent in german... So give me a minute!
What ever the hostel seemed cool and is cool and was pretty dam cheap!
Wencke just laughed at me like poor guy he doesn't know anything lol. Then we headed out for some coffee! We sat and talked for a while and just got to know eachother and had a good time! They didn't take a card so wencke payed for me! I felt bad but come on who doesn't take visa! She looked at it like it was a forighn thing that she's never heard about...
After coffee we took the subway to the ice skating rink! Ha ha yep I went ice skating it was fun! And it's been a while! The ice skating rink looked at my visa the same way WTF!! So I looked at wencke and she payed for that too! I'm starting to feel like a Jack ass! I forgot to gran cash before I ran down to meet her...
When I went to go get my skates I told the lady I need a 12 please! And se laughed ha ha like seriously laughed! I was like ok.... I guess not then wencke was laughing and they started talkin German.. I was alright I'm out!
Jk
I ended up needing a 48 in this European world I'm in lol! What ever!
We started getting dizzy after about 40 times around this ice rink...ha ha but it was cool because you could go outside or inside and there was a hocky game going on in the middle of the outside ice skating area!
Wencke told me had to try this warm apple wine so we got one of those an sat down, it was reall good! And guess who payed for that ha ha!
We caught the subway back to grab some dinner! It was a risky subway ride for me both ways because I didn't get a ticket cause we couldn't figure it out... But if you get caught it's 40€!!! Ouch that would be an expensive subway ride... But I was feeling lucky! :)
and I was! So we got back and went into the nice hamburger restraunt and the took visa! Wow!
I payed for dinner and both of our beers! The beers we tryed were different and kinda sweet I forget the name...
Dinner was dam good!
We headed over to wencke frat/sority house an it was a lot of fun! I met a lot of the people living in the house and try my best to communicate! Like every were else :)
We watched soccer, played foosball, played darts and drank!
Every one left after a while and it was just the president, wencke, and me! It was fun because the president spoke pretty good English and we could talk and laugh and just have a good time! Some times he'd ask wencke for the English word, or me but it wasn't that bad!
We played darts for a while and I won! Beginers luck!
Then we decided to go out and we had two pitchers of some tastey wine! German wine! About this time I'm pretty drunk and I gotta get back to the hostel!
We went back to the house and I asked tem for help in getting back.. There like oh it's easy!
Yea I bet, after four pints of necks and two full glasses of wine in this German world! Oh yea shouldn't be a problem at all....
NO ONE OF YOU GUYS ARE WALKING ME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!! Ha ha wencke took me to the right subway and gave me a big hug and said your train will be here in nine minutes... Ok! Great ha ha and let mr guess I can't get a ticket right?
I met a really cool girl that thought I was nuts for coming here by myself lol! I asked her for a pic with her she said yes but no websites please ha hA!
Any ways I got to the bug ass main train station! The hbf and then it wasn't far from there! I bought a pizza thing and went to my hostel! I tryed calling just about every one in the fam! And I talked to Feesh! And texted my mom earlier on!
I walked in my hostel room for the first time and my dumb ass came in like I owed the place a 1 30 am turned the lights on and saw 7 people that were sleeping lol my bad.....
I got in bed and left ymte light on... Ha ha right when I wa getting up I heard some other laugauge and took a wild guess that they were probably saying turn the light off Jack ass!!!!
Whatever ha ha
I think the guy above me purposly dropped his lil wallet bag on my head ha ha! I just grabbed it and tapped him he kinda freaked out and I just gave him his bag back.
I went to bed and slept till about ten! No body in my room spoke English seriously! But I didn't need to them any way,..
So here I am typing away on my little iPod key pad, and gonna go out in the rain and check out more of the town!
I wish I was playin in the foot and a half of snow back home!!!
Gosh I miss you guys! I'm not gonna lie it's harder to make friends in Germany for obvious reasons! But I might stay at wenckes tonight and head to berlin or somethin tomorrow! Use the train pass for the first time!!
This train things a little confusing but all get it!
Love ya guys!!! Enjoy the snow you luckies!!!! And for all you snow haters..... Just enjoy the snow!!!! Eventually your gonna be saying it's to dam hot! Or at least I will be! :)

It's good to hear from you. It sounds as if you're having a good time and people are accepting. When I was in Germany in early 1977, the response I got was neutral in most places. No one harassed me, but few were friendly, either. I think I was taken for just another American soldier on leave. I was 26 at the time. One time some people at another table at a bar spoke to me in what could have been interpreted as an inviting manner, but I was feeling down and absorbed in a book, and I didn't say much in response. I might have forfeited a chance to be accepted by a group and extend my stay in Germany on my then dwindling budget.
