The redhead is moved into her new room.

    And so we reach the point of no return! Next time I am not in this room I will be an older, wiser, much better German speaking, more adultish person.  (I hope)
    I moved in yesterday and discovered something super awesome. Almost every bed you will come to in Germany will have a super freaking HUGE pillow. They are the same width as the ones in the US on either side of your head but they are longer so that they are perfectly square.
    I’ve gotten used to something, like first off everyone speaking a different language. Well, if this ever happens to you, know that you will not understand everything all the time. At first you will have to concentrate very hard to understand. No book can really prepare you to speak and understand German clearly immediately. Sometimes it is very hard to understand what people say, especially when they speak very quickly or speak a dialect of German instead of hoch deutsch to you. There are a lot of freakin dialects. There is a channel of news for every single dialect in Germany. In fact most Germans who speak only a certain dialect or hoch deutsch cannot understand a lot of other dialects even when spoken clearly. Wiablingen, where I live, is near Stuttgart and both are in Schwebia. Thus the dialect here is Schwebish.The parents in my host family are both from Siegerland and so when they first got here they could barely understand anybody.
    I’ve also gotten used to the water. Here we don’t drink tap water, we drink mineral water. I guess it’s because Germans think tap water is dirty or something. But mineral water’s pretty good, not so weird and different anymore. And also t seems here I eat a LOT more chocolate and meat and bread. I have chocolate crunchy neutela spread almost every morning, not that I’m complaining. Table manners are much different too. The most proper manners at another persons house you must hold fork in left hand and knife in right hand throughout the meal, and when we sit down to eat you must wait until everyone has what they want to eat on their plate before you begin eating.
    But other than that, we are all the same, just a few puddles apart.
