Usually somewhere around 25-50 cents, but sometimes in Germany you have to pay an extra fee for buying a plastic water bottle (because people here are very environmentally-conscious).
The best meal I had this week was a very stereotypical German one- Bratwurst! A bratwurst is a German sausage that’s usually served inside of a fresh bread roll with brown mustard squeezed on top. I think sometimes food tastes better when you’re eating it in a cool place, and I ate my Bratwurst in front of the historic Dom (or cathedral) in Trier. And the meal was truly delicious!
I’m trying to listen to as much German music as possible, so I asked my students for some suggestions. They first told me Helene Fischer, who sings really cheesy love songs. Her most famous song is called “Atemlos,” which is German for “Breathless.” I also listened to a German rapper named Cro, but he sings so fast that sometimes it’s difficult for me to understand what he’s saying!
I LOVE working with my English students! In one class, they all had to write little skits in English. Their plays had to take place in a makeup store, and I had so much fun helping them come up with crazy stories.
