This new semester has started of with meeting a lot of new faces since all of the exchanges students last semester were only here for a semester. I was one of the few to stay the whole year and it was hard to adjust once again to all the newcomers. Thankfully I have some german friends that like me stayed all the year. The first week was a little repetitive with all the same events, but I did them again to get to know the new exchange students. The highlight was a weekend that included a pub crawl of Koblenz, a visit to the nearby Marksburg Castle, and finally a beer brewery where we got to do some beer tasting and have a look at the factory. Other than that, I went Rotterdam to visit a french friend that I made last semester in his town and I had a blast, taking also one of my good friends that I made here already. Another great experience was that I made friends with a french guy that invited me to go to Paris for the weekend so we hopped in his car and got to meet one of the most amazing cities I have ever been to. Other than the traveling, I have had fun helping out in Taushie Tuesdays, which is every tuesday and a different country prepares typical food from their country at a local bar and everyone comes to have food and drinks. Last Tuesday we made tacos and they were a hit. Now I am planning to Berlin this weekend to visit some friends and family. I will keep you updated.
