Twenty-Eighth Day in Dortmund

Sept. 28, 2012


Today we all performed our group skits. I thought ours went surprisingly well, but there were others that were funny as well. One group even made a short film that was really well put together. After the last skit, there was a flash mob that I mentioned in an earlier post. There were a lot of people dancing and it was funny to see the teachers’ reactions. We then went outside and took a group photo with our respective classes. 


 It was so fun getting to know everyone and now we will split off into our different level language classes.

After this, Chris and I went shopping in town. We want to eat something other than sandwiches this weekend and decided on another Paula Deen recipe! This time, it’s bacon wrapped chicken appetizers. We also found a stir-fry rice recipe to try as well. We assembled all the ingredients and will cook lunch tomorrow. I am excited to try it!

After shopping, we went to Mike’s apartment for coffee. Apparentlly, in Canada, there is this really popular coffee shop “Tim Horton’s.” It’s like Starbucks, but better, as described by Mike. He had his dad ship him some French Vanilla coffee mix from home, so it must be good. He wanted us to try it, and I agreed that is was pretty tasty! I usually don’t like coffee, but this mix tasted more like French vanilla with a little coffee thrown in. 

We also had our last group excursion meeting. This time it was at a sports bar “76.” It was a lot of fun. We played Fußball and billiards and there was even another flash mob to Oppa Gangnam Style.  Thanks to the brewery tour, I knew what kind of beer to order. Mike wanted to order something that was the equivalent of soda and beer mixed together, but no one would let him. He had to settle for just soda. We got back kind of late, so I went straight to bed. That’s it for today, Schüss!

German Word of the Day: Der Stuhl- “chair” When you are in a crowded bar, try and claim der Stuhl when you can.
