My first day of class was on Monday, 30 May. We have class from 8:30-1:00 with 30 minute breaks at 10:30 and 12:00. On Monday, we had a tour of the main street downtown. The city is much bigger than I thought, and I'll dedicate another post to downtown and the suburbs, where I am staying with my host family. These are pictures from the tour and the shopping afterwards.
House of Shirts. They have a great selection of socks. The guy on the right is Tommy from Hong Kong. He's a complete beginner, but studied in Missouri in High School. We got off the tram together, and I didn't know where to go. I asked him "Entschuldigung?"
He said he spoke English and we figured out we were going the same way. Buddies then on.

First thing I do: drag my classmates into a used-bookstore. Futurama auf Deutsch!
Then to a new-bookstore. This is Freedom by Jonathan Frazen, for a friend of mine that wrote one of the first academic papers on it last year.
Aspiring polyglots don't have dreams as good as this! Visual dictionaries!

Good, cheap wine. 1 Euro = 1.4 Dollars right now. 5 Euros = 7.4 Dollars.
